Tim was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him. He had tripped (絆倒) and dropped all of the books he was carrying along with some clothes, a baseball bat and a glove.

Tim knelt down and helped the boy pick up the things. Since they were going the same way, he offered to carry some things for the boy.

As they walked, Tim knew that the boy’s name was Sam. He loved video games, baseball and history, but he was having trouble with some of his subjects.

I had stored away some of my mother’s sleeping pills. I was going home to kill myself.

Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下創(chuàng)傷)her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.

Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(組織)taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植)to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.

When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her. "I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”

Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.

She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity's first summer camp. “ I will show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too.“ I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “ I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”

1.What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?

A. They were friendly to her. B. They showed sympathy to her.

C. They were afraid of her. D. They looked down upon her.

2.Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to .

A. face others' unkindness bravely B. hide their scars by proper dressing

C. live a normal life D. recover quickly

3.What does the underlined word "permanent” in the 4th paragraph mean?

A. necessary B. life-long

C. difficult D. important

4.What can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Seriously Burned Girl Survives

B. Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares

C. Permanent Scars And Pain For a Girl

D. A seriously burned angel of Hope

Good afternoon, everyone, I feel honor to stand here to share my ideas about the topic of communicate with our parents.

Parents are the people which love us most, so it is necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here are my suggestions with how to make it easier to communicate with parents.

First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t be rude to them even if they had done something wrong. They have been experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Second, whether we often talk with them about our life and experience, we will know each other better. Third, if sometimes we don’t agree with our parents decisions, we should try to put themselves in their shoes and we will soon understand them. Remember they really want is only the best for us.

Thank you for listening.

Knowing how and when to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. 1. It will help you maintain your relationships and let people know you care. It’s also easier than it seems sometimes. Read on to learn how to recognize opportunities and predict others’ needs when you leave.

Recognize when to leave. When you’re at any kind of party, or even a one-on-one conversation,it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a goodbye much easier. 2. If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave.

3. Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don’t like telling you that they’d like you to leave,so try to watch for signals. This may be some other family members starting to check their watch or even pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left.

Make plans to see each other again. Saying, “See you at school tomorrow” or “Can’t wait to see you again at Christmas” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven’t already made plans, use it as an opportunity to make them.4.

Tell the truth. It can be tempting to come up with a “good excuse” when you’re ready to leave. You don’t need to. 5. It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

A. Watch body language.

B. Leave when you want.

C. Notice if the crowd seems to be decreasing.

D. Even saying, “See you soon” suggests just that.

E. If you want to leave, just say, “I’ll be going. See you later.”

F. But learning to say goodbye appropriately is a must-have skill.

G. Don’t make plans with people you don’t really care about saying goodbye to.
