Jack was a skilled artist with a wife and two sons. One night， his elder son had a stomachache(肚子疼) . Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠的) disorders， neither Jack nor his wife took it seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.

Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation， Jack always felt guilty. His wife left him a short time later， leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than that Jack could stand， so he turned to alcohol (酒) for help. Later， Jack began to lose everything he had --- his land， house， etc. Finally Jack died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Jack's death， I thought， "What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure!”

As time went by， I knew Jack's younger son who grew into an adult， Ernie. He is one of the kindest and most loving men I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children， thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere. One day， I asked him what his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly， "As a child until I left home at 18， Jack came into my room every night， gave me a kiss and said， 'love you， son'."

Don't wash your hair every day. Here's why：

It will be easier to style. If you've ever washed your hair just before going to the salon to get another better look， you will be told by the stylist， freshly washed and dried hair isn't as easy to work with as hair that was washed a day or two ago.

Your color will last longer. If you color your hair， washing daily can dull your color and lead to more trips to the salon. Keep your hair looking bright by only washing every other day. When you wash your hair， do so with a shampoo so that you can make sure the color doesn't lose.

It will be healthier. The more you wash your hair， the more you're removing your hair's natural oil. That's right - too much time with the shampoo can really mean your hair become less soft and shining. Over-washing can dry hair out， which isn't a good idea. Keep your hair healthy by avoiding washing your hair every day.

Washing and drying take a lot of time for those of us with long hair. By cutting back on styling time， you will have more time to get ready， sleep or even fit in a quick jog or trip to the gym.

1.Before going to the salon to style your hair， you'd better ________.

A. wash your hai

2.What does the underlined word "dull" most probably mean?

A. make ... sharper B. make ... slower

C. make ... less clear D. make ... less bright

3.Over-washing can ________，

A. give you a best look

B. make your hair dried out

C. get your hair to be healthier

D. increase more natural oils of hairs

4.In the writer's opinion， washing hair daily is ________.

A. a waste of time

B. necessary and important

C. a good way of saving time

D. like a quick jog or trip to the gym

5.The passage is mainly talking about ________.

A. not washing your hair every day

B. how to get a fine hairstyle

C. how to do hair care every day

D. some correct ways of washing your hair

There are many ways for us to reduce waste. For example， we can reuse paper and plastic bags. We can also recycle newspapers， glass， and cans (易拉罐) to make new things. Here are some useful ways to reduce waste.

◆ Write on both sides of paper. Many people write on only one side of their paper. Why not stop wasting the other side? Some students only use half the pages of their notebooks before getting new ones. Try to use up all the paper. People often give cards on birthdays or festivals. How about trying to send e-cards instead?

◆ Don't throw away your old batteries. Maybe you do not know that old batteries make the Earth dirty. This is because they have poisonous parts. So， don't throw away batteries. Keep them together. Try to use rechargeable(可在充电的) batteries for your games and CD players.

◆ Donate (捐赠) all your unwanted clothes. There are many poor families in China. You may ask your mother to collect your unwanted clothes. Then you can pass them on to those poor children who do not have clothes to wear. You will feel happy that you are helping someone else. Also， you can ask if your friends or relatives want them before throwing them away.

以下是Mary写给学校心理辅导老师Ms Wang 的一封信.请你以Ms Wang的身份给她回一封80词左右的信，帮助她解决问题.

Dear Ms Wang

My name is Mary. I’m a student in Class 1， Grade 9. I’m writing to you about my problem and I hope you can give me some advice.

The High School Entrance Exam is coming， but I’m very nervous recently. The main reason is that I did seriously bad in the exam in April.

I used to be very happy because I did well in my lessons. However， after the exam， I realize that there are a lot of difficult problems that I can’t solve. I want to overcome them in a short time. I can’t eat well. Even worse， I stay up late every day and sleep less and less. As a result of that， I feel sleepy and can’t focus my attention on what my teachers say in class. I feel very low. What can I do to get myself back?

Thank you. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes.

Yours Mary.
