Street dance is an energetic and exciting type of dance. It started with people dancing in the street rather than in studio（练功房）.
Break dancing and the Melbourne Shuffle are two examples of street dance. Many of the hip-pop dances are popular street dance. Even rave dancing is a type of street dance. Street dance changes and improves all the time as people try different moves. It is a form of dancing that boys really enjoy.
A school in Britain has seen how street dance has helped its pupils. They introduced it as a subject at school. Dance teachers went to the school to teach the students how to perform. The dances were rehearsed at lunch breaks and after school. Many of the students were from homes with many problems. The students also used to behave badly. When the street dance classes started, it seemed to solve many of these problems. The students felt that they could express their feelings in dancing. If they were angry, they could do some of the dance moves and throw away those feelings. If they were angry at something, dancing helped them to be more peaceful. Another good thing was that the students felt better about themselves.
The students focused on other subjects more. They got better grades. Taking part in the street dance also taught the students to work better with others. They needed discipline（纪律）to come to practice and to learn the dance steps. They entered a dance competition and won! This was very good for them. The younger students began following them. They are active role models.
Today bands have formed that combine（结合）singing with street dance. Street dance is becoming a popular culture.

In one’s life, one spends the most time being with oneself. However, one has the least understanding of oneself. When you are successful, you may be very proud. But when you fail, you may lose heart. If you don’t get a better understanding of yourself, you may miss many chances in life and easily get into trouble.
To get a better understanding of yourself is to know about yourself well. You should realize your strong points and weak ones. You may hope for a wonderful future, but be sure not to expect too much because not all dreams can come true. You may be confident enough to meet challenges, but first you should know what to do.
Getting a better understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation. Maybe you think you are a tall tree or just small grass, but you can always have your own way of being there. As soon as you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble.
To get a better understanding of yourself also means taking care of yourself. When you are angry, find a quiet place so that you can control your own temper and not hurt yourself. When you are sad, tell your friends about it to change the mood（情绪）into a good one. When you are tired, get a good sleep till you get relaxed. If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself, you won’t be able to stay away from illnesses.
No one can tell what will happen in the future. Get a better understanding of yourself, and you’ll get a full control of yourself and find your life full of colors.

Let children learn to judge(判断) their own work. A child doesn’t learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s.
In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught—to walk, run, climb or ride a bicycle. They compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for him. We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it.
If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure(估量) their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in their ways. School teachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Don’t worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it.

If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t earn (赚) your own money Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology (技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.

C．kids can learn skills if they try to earn money on their own

Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job that pays well. How much money can you make Ask yourself these questions: What can I do What skills do I have Also ask yourself: How much education do I have For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power.
In the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you do not finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school!
If you stay in school, then you can make more money. A person with a high school degree makes about $18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor’s degree(学士学位), he can make $42,000. With a master’s degree (硕士学位), he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a PhD(博士学位), he can make almost $79,000 or more a year.

Dear Li Hua，
How's everything going？Congratulations on your graduation from junior high school！
I hope you have a great time during the holiday，but there is something important for you to think about─a plan for your personal growth. Here is some advice for you.
Firstly，study yourself. Understand what you like，what you value and what you want to be. In studying yourself，you check your strengths（长处）and weaknesses. Find out what you need to prepare for your dream job.
Secondly，write down your plan. When writing，you can try using Mind Maps（思维导图）.It is a good way to help you to think more clearly. And you may find a proper way to work your plan out.
Thirdly，go over your plan with your teachers，parents or friends. They may give you some advice. Think carefully about their advice and make some changes to your plan if necessary. And then you can go on with it.
Finally，__8____.For example，if you want to be an English teacher in the future，you should spend more time reading English books，learning more about English culture and practicing your listening and speaking from now on. You can make your dream come true only through hard work.
You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don't worry. All you need is just a rough（粗略的）one. Once you enter the senior high school，you'll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers.
And your personal growth plan may change with your age，your interests and the social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.
Best wishes！
Yours，
Li Fang

【分析】词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，所猜测词汇可以是生词，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是人称代词的指代内容。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。常见的猜词法有：(1)利用上下文语境。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。 (2)利用定义或解释性的线索。阅读文章中的有些生词往往在其后会有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子，利用它们猜词义较容易 (3)利用文章的逻辑关系答题。如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。这些逻辑关系往往通过一些相应的词或短语表达出来，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用构词法知识答题。熟记一些前缀、后缀所表达的意思，不仅可以扩大词汇量，而且帮助我们猜测词义。第2小题的词义猜测题就是利用第1种解题方法。
