When she was in the third grade,she started the Buddy Bench (友谊长凳)program.That was at her school,,in Fort Wayne,,Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the"buddy bench".It showed others that someone needed a friend. The bench brought kids together and helped them make new friends.Especially for those shy children,they only need to sit on the bench,and then there will be children coming and talking with them. It helps them meet new people and make new friends."There was one little boy at school, younger than me,"Sammie told her friends."He gave me a thumbs-up in the hallway.I knew what】was doing helped him.” It cost money to build benches.Sammie decided to make them out of recycled ( material.This lowered the cost.And the benches were eco-friendly () After discussing with her teachers and friends,they decided to make the benches with plastic (bottles.They collected 1,200 pounds of bottles in the school and community. The plastic is used to make buddy benches.A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with these bottles. Now Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches.And she is spreading kindness around the world."We recently got a bench in Ghana,Africa,"she says. “That was cool.” Sammie reminds us that kids can help others and even small acts of kindness ca be powerful."You don't have to be an adult to make a difference."She says.

For most ofus,it's difficult not to admire the talent of a skilled musician.Whether they are pianists or violinists,these musicians have shown dedication(俸献)and passion热情)over a long time to reach the highest levels of performance.But they say it's never too late to learn. So what are the benefits ()for both children and adults,in learning a musical instrument? Learning to play a musical instrument when growing up can improve hearing in adulthood. According to a study by Dr.Nina Kraus,Professor at a University in US,children who played musical instruments were better at recognizing ()different sound.This improved hearing skill which could be carried over into later life.The adults who had once played an instrument are able to recognize sounds more easily.And it could also have some academic ()benefits too.A study found that students who took part in music-related activities during grades 7-12 scored much higher in science,English and maths. And there are not just benefits to children.Whether you choose to play the piano,uy a guitar or learn a drumbeat,you could end up joining a band.Meeting other band mates and sharing your love of a good tune could improve your social life.Leaming an instrument can also give you a sense of achievement(成就).Playing that perfect chord(和弦)is one way,but what if you got together with some friends and entered into a competition of the bands-and won?

C.Listening to music gives you a sense of achievement. D.Music can be good for children,but it cannot last long. D It's common to communicate by way of texting,and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking your parents to buy something in the shop.However,we may have taken communication by texting too far.Fighting over text,which is also known as “fexting'”is a potential pitfall(潜在危险)to relationships that can cause problems and can even break up friendships. When we speak,the person we're talking to can tell how serious or light we are by our tone ()Texting,on the other hand,has no tone.Everything is flat in writing,so a comment (评论)or a joke may be misunderstood as an insult(冒g犯).It can lead to miscommunication. Texting is generally a quick back-and-forth exchange,and when arguing,it can get even faster. You may not read all ofa person's reply before you respond (again,and the more upset you get,the harder it may be to express (yourself clearly or to clearly understand the person you're fighting with.When we text on the phone,there are no facial expressions or body language,so we can't tell others our real feeling.Sometimes Emojis and Gl亚s(表情符号和s动 图)can be hurtful,,too. As soon as it becomes clear that things are heading in a bad direction,you can be the one to stop the argument.When the situation isn't going in the right direction,you can say"I don't think texting is the right way to discuss this problem."or"I'm feeling misunderstood and I don't think texting will help me feel understood."to stop the conversation. Once you're clear that texting is no longer an effective (communication,suggest a new choice to the text argument.For example:Are you free for a phone call?Would you like to talk about this more in person?Let's make a plan and so on.If the other person isn't listening to you,or the exchange isn't ending because you're having a hard time stopping yourself from arguing further,the best thing you can do is to put down your phone and walk away from it.In some situations,you may even want to turn it off. Arguing happens,but it doesn't need to happen through texting.If you and your friends disagree about how to communicate effectively,you may benefit from face to face communication. 八年级英语试卷第6页（共8页） 30.The writer thinks A.people can read the text message carefully when arguing B."fexting"can cause problems and hurt relationship C.texting can help understand others'feelings by tone D.texting can help express clearly when people are angry 31.The second paragraph is mainly about A.why texting can cause misunderstanding B.how we use our tone to express feelings C.how to express yourself clearly through texting D.why talking on the phone can avoid misunderstanding 32.What do the words "heading in a bad direction"in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
