Dear Grandma,
It was nice seeing you at Christmas．You looked so happy!
After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．
I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks．We made many "playhouses" in the woods．
We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．
You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．
But you taught me how to fix it．
I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．
Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．
Love always,
Kelly

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
1. Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 2. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 3. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
4. If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 5. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
A. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
B. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
C. How should you start to forgive?
D. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.
E. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
F. Why should you forgive?
G. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

Tom studied in our middle school three years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in the new school and we often write to each other.

“I can see you are satisfied with it.”
“Yes，” he answered. “But our geography teacher often says to himself in class.”

Nearly 60 million visitors flooded to the 384 national parks across America every year. And you won’t have to wander far from home to enjoy one of these national treasures, with Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park nearby.
Located 56 miles from Copper Harbor on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the park remains a desolate area that can only be reached by tour boat. With the exception of the Rock Harbor Lodge, which offers both rooms with private baths and accommodations in the form of small cottages, the 572,000 acres that make up the 45-mile-long park are rough, threaded with hiking paths that lead to tents-only campsites. You are likely to see a deer crossing mist-covered ponds in search of breakfast, gaze bald eagles flying overhead, or hear a beaver(河狸) clapping its tail on the water. If you are especially lucky, you might even glimpse a grey wolf, nearly dying out from hunting on the mainland.
Plenty of hiking paths open the area to exploration. The 4-mile Stroll Path winds through various trees and offers a tour of the island’s history, including prehistoric Indian mines. The Jungle Path leads to Scoville Point——a perfect picnic spot surrounded on three sides by the shining waters of Lake Superior.
You can also rent a boat at the park’s service center and row down the shore to the Rock Harbor Lighthouse. Here park’s service employees use nets to show how lake fishes used to be caught by the original local people. Their catch ends up on the dinner menu at the Rock Harbor Lodge.
The park is open from mid-April through October; Rock Harbor Lodge is open from Memorial Day weekend until just after Labor Day.
1.The underlined phrase “a desolate area” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ________.
A. an undeveloped area
B. an inaccessible area
C. an area deserted by tourists
D. an area protected by government
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Indians used to hunt grey wolves to make a living.
B. Tourists can only visit the park by walking or hiking.
C. The number of grey wolves is smaller than that of deer.
D. Food provided by Rock Harbor Lodge is shipped from outside.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Safety tips of the natural park.
B. Attractions of the natural park.
C. Tourist service of the natural park.
D. Environmental protection of the natural park.

Some Ways to Deal With Hardship and Pain in Life
Regardless of the difficulties you may face, it’s getting back up and moving forward that counts the most when you need to deal with hardship. 1.
Write or talk about how you feel
Keeping my feelings to myself used to make me feel lonely, but when I found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how I felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situations. 2. Although talking to strangers about your issues may seem crazy, it actually isn’t.
3.
It is said that running away from your problems will never help, and though that’s partially true, it doesn’t mean that you need to make yourself go so deeply into a situation that you run out of air to breathe and lose the ability to weigh the pros and cons of your choices. That happens more than we like to admit, which is why it’s important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders.
Remind yourself that you’re not alone
Regardless of who or what you depend on, you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care. 4. Sometimes it’s strangers who may share the same feelings as you do. Think about it—you may not know any of these readers personally but they could be in the exact same situation as you, so in fact, no one is truly alone.
Accept the results and get back up again
5. Whether the results of your choices proved to be helpful or not, it’s time for you to accept them and get back up. This time you have a new experience to add to your book of life so the next time something tries to knock you down, it won’t be easy because you will be strong and determined to push forward. Life will go on, time will never stand still, and it rests upon you to make the right decision of moving forward.
A. Separate yourself from the situation.
B. Tell yourself to accept the hardship.
C. Finally, it’s time to accept what has happened.
D. All in all, remember that life is short.
E. Not only did I speak to him about how I felt, but I decided to blog about it.
F. Here are some things I've tried just to help me believe in a brighter future and get over a tough situation.
G. Even if it’s just one person, that’s enough to give you reason to remind yourself that you will never truly be alone.

It’s 4 am, and Danilo C. Dequina is already awake. Holding a flashlight and a bucket, he is walking in the pre-dawn darkness along the shore of Old Poblacion Beach in the town of Maitum, Sarangani, in the far south of the Philippines.
A few minutes later, he spots a patch of sand that appears to have been disturbed by a turtle. Dequina studies the area carefully, figuring out where the eggs have been buried, and then starts digging slowly. After clearing away several centimeters of sand, he uncovers a large group of eggs, roughly the size of ping-pong balls. He picks them up and puts them in the bucket.
Dequina carries the eggs to his hatchery (孵卵所), some 50 meters away from the seashore. The hatchery is really just a sandy patch of land under the coconut trees enclosed by a black fence. It is here that he buries the turtle eggs he has collected. Today, Dequina scoops a hole, puts the eggs in it, and covers them with sand. After 45 to 70 days, the eggs will hatch. Dequina will then carry the hatchlings to the shore, and release them into the sea. He admits to feeling sorrow as he sets the hatchlings free -- most are hunted down by natural predators, and just one percent survive to adulthood.
According to the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), eight species of sea turtles face extinction, including four that come to the shores of Sarangani to lay their eggs -- the Hawksbill, Olive Ridley, Loggerhead and Green Turtles.
After learning about their plight (困境), Dequina attended a DENR training session on turtle conservation and decided to take action. He helped the local government to set up the Pawikan Nesting Sanctuary next to his house in 2003.
The hatchery drew the attention of the locals. “They started to change their attitudes towards sea turtles,” 52-year-old Dequina says. “If they see turtle eggs, they will either bring them to me or inform me of the nesting places.” Over the past ten years, more than 3,000 hatchlings have been released to the ocean.
1.Dequina walks along the shore to ________.
A. release small turtles
B. bury turtle eggs deeper
C. look for newly laid turtle eggs
D. clear away trash from the seaside
2. When Dequina finds turtle eggs along the shore, he will ________.
A. put them into the sea instantly
B. just bury them
C. pick them up and put them in the bucket
D. take them and go to his house
3.What is the attitude of local people toward Dequina’s efforts?
A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed.
C. Opposed. D. Supportive.
4.What do we learn from the passage?
A. Dequina feels sad when he releases hatchlings.
B. Dequina has worked for the hatchery for six years.
C. The hatchery is far from Dequina’s house.
D. The hatchery mainly protects injured turtles.
