课时分层作业(八)　

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren.Our grandchildren were excited about the attraction where they can drive the cars.Since our party was uneven in numbers and two people fit in each car，I sat out that one and headed down to take pictures of them.

As I waited for them to drive by，I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked to be about 7.They rolled down the hill，and then as they neared where I sat，the car shook a few times and then stopped.

The young driver looked frightened，“I can't do it.”

His father quietly said，“Yes，you can.”

“No.I can't！”

“Yes，you can.”

The little boy was almost in tears，“I CAN'T！”

With deep patience，the father said，“Son，you can do this.I'm going to help you.”

Then he talked him through starting the car.And moments later with the father helping his son，the two went smoothly on their way down the track.

The scene brought tears to my eyes because I couldn't imagine how many times my father had to do that with me.Every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way，I'd say，“I can't do it.” He'd reply，“You can.” Time and time again he patiently encouraged me on the journey.And just like that little boy's dad，my sweet father would say，“Michelle，you can do this.I'm going to help you.”

That's where the true strength comes in.I can't do things under my own power，but when my father comes beside me and provides wisdom (智慧) and strength，there's no way I can fail.

Every year you collect a large amount of junk.Think about Christmas presents，birthday presents and holiday souvenirs，and the list goes on.Where does it all end up? Well，if you don't throw it out，it goes to the basement (地下室)．

However，things with huge amounts of value might be buried in those unwanted gifts.Perhaps there's a beautiful crystal boat in a bottle that was made just long enough ago to be worth a large amount of money.Or，maybe it's an old board game that was never used and has now become a collectable.Yes，these items can be your ticket to a hidden treasure，and all you need to do is go hunting.

Once you find the items，you'll probably be wondering how to sell them.Most people choose the standard yard sale and this，of course，is a mistake.You won't find the collectors by this type of sale.Instead，you need to reach the widest audience possible.The answer? eBay.

With eBay，you can gain a large amount of attention，start an auction (拍卖)and get selling.Of course，before you can do this，you have to set yourself up as a trusted seller.You can do that quite simply by buying a few small，cheap items first.This will raise the rating (等级) of your little online shop.After that，you should have no trouble at all attracting buyers.

Of course，this can just be the beginning.Once you know how to sell things online，you can start making a lot more money by investing and reselling.It's a great choice for a second income.

How to cheer others up

It is nice to help a friend，family member，or partner out when he or she is feeling down.Here are some easy ways to cheer him or her up.

Just listen.Generally speaking，people who are feeling down would rather be alone.__1__ All that most of us need from time to time is the space to vent (发泄感情) feelings on someone who will simply listen without responding or offering a solution.

Offer to give advice.__2__  It is as simple as asking，“Would you like my advice？” or “Would you like to know what I think？”__3__ Your friend will appreciate not only that you have advice to offer，but that you respect them by asking permission first.

__4__Sometimes，being there for your friends is all they need.Whether your friend is having a bad day or a bad month，just taking time out of your week to spend time together can make a difference.

Make them laugh.We are not natural comedians (喜剧演员) but that is okay.Even without being a professional comedian，we all have the ability to make our loved ones laugh.__5__

A．Reduce their stress.

B．Spend time with them.

C．Ask for permission before you offer your advice.
