A beautiful girl waits for a prince to find her. Then she gets married to him and becomes a princess. But what if the girl was clever or strong instead of beautiful? What if she wanted to be a captain, an astronaut or a politician instead of a princess? And what if she didn’t need a prince to do it? That’s the idea behind the book Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls. The book tells the stories of one hundred amazing women in history. But, the stories aren’t just boring stories. Instead, they’re more like fairy tales. You probably won’t know the names of most of the women, but when you finish reading, you’ll ask yourself why. Sometimes, it’s because people tried to take them away from history. Like Hatshepsut, one of the most important queens of Egypt. Other times, it’s because a man’s name became more famous. For example, Charles Babbage is called “the father of computers”, but a woman, Ada Lovelace, wrote the first computer program. Why haven’t we learned about these women before? Often history remembers men more than women. If you close your eyes and think of a war hero and a pilot, you will probably think of men. If you read the book, those pictures might start to become women of all colors and ages. The women in the book did things because they wanted to and they didn’t listen when people told them not to. One problem with the book is its name, because it gives the idea that it’s a book for girls. It’s a great idea to show young girls what women can do. But the stories are also interesting for boys to read. And it’s also important that boys can think of women in jobs like doctors, drivers and presidents. 1．What is the idea behind the book Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls? A．Girls are naturally beautiful, clever and strong. B．Princes always play an important part in fairy tales. C．Girls can do what they want without anyone’s help. D．Captain is generally the dream job for most kids. 2．Why is Ada Lovelace little known to people? A．Because people took her away from history. B．Because Charles was more famous than her. C．Because she got married and left her job early. D．Because she wrote the first computer program. 3．What does the writer think of the name of the book? A．It may stop boys from reading the book. B．It will help doctors look after patients well. C．It teaches children to choose their jobs carefully. D．It makes it harder for girls to understand the book. 4．What can be inferred about the book? A．It attracts people of all colors and ages. B．It is mainly about fairy tales through history. C．It tells the stories of amazing women scientists. D．It gives readers a better understanding of women. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要介绍了《叛逆女孩的晚安故事》这本书的内容、创作理念以及作者对该书的评价。该书通过讲述历史上100位杰出女性的故事，旨在鼓励女孩们追求自己的梦想，不受性别刻板印象的限制，同时也适合男孩阅读，以拓宽他们对女性角色的认知。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But what if the girl was clever or strong instead of beautiful? What if she wanted to be a captain, an astronaut or a politician instead of a princess? And what if she didn’t need a prince to do it? That’s the idea behind the book Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.”可知，《叛逆女孩的晚安故事》这本书背后的理念是女孩可以不需要王子的帮助，而是靠自己的力量去做自己想做的事情，即女孩可以无需他人帮助做自己想做的事。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Other times, it’s because a man’s name became more famous. For example, Charles Babbage is called ‘the father of computers’, but a woman, Ada Lovelace, wrote the first computer program.”可知，Ada Lovelace鲜为人知的原因是Charles Babbage（一个男人）的名字比她更出名。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“One problem with the book is its name, because it gives the idea that it’s a book for girls...But the stories are also interesting for boys to read.”可知，作者认为这本书的书名可能会让男孩们误以为这是一本只适合女孩阅读的书，从而阻止他们阅读。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Often history remembers men more than women...If you read the book, those pictures might start to become women of all colors and ages.”以及第四段“It’s a great idea to show young girls what women can do. But the stories are also interesting for boys to read.”可知，这本书通过讲述历史上杰出女性的故事，打破了性别刻板印象，让读者（包括男孩和女孩）对女性有了更深入的了解，认识到女性在各个领域都能取得杰出成就。因此可以推断出，这本书让读者对女性有了更好的理解。故选D。 Read and explore Can you remember a time when somebody was kind to you? Maybe a stranger allowed you to go in front of him in a queue. Or perhaps a friend helped you in a much deeper way. There are a million ways to offer kindness. Why should we be kind?     Being kind is a win-win situation. It brings happiness to both the receiver and the doer of this kind action. Let's imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. How about taking a moment to mention this to him? Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise，and you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy. What are "random acts of kindness"?     Many organizations encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible. Their idea is that it doesn't take any plan to be kind，just a little bit of effort. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)Foundation，who work with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. They believe that kindness can be taught. How can I be kind？     The RAK website suggests some ways to show kindness. Generally，they fall into three categories（类别）．The first is interpersonal kindness, like donating old clothes to charity or writing a positive online comment about a restaurant. The second is environmental kindness，which could mean recycling or cleaning a local park. The third category is personal kindness，which means treating yourself kindly，such as taking a walk in nature or treating yourself to a big meal. By being kind to yourself，you will be kinder to the world around you. What is World Kindness Day?     World Kindness Day takes place on 13November. People in many countries celebrate this day by being kind and having lots of fun. One typical event is to use “kindness cards”．You hand a kindness card to somebody when you do a kind act for him. Then it is his turn to pass on the card by doing a kind act for another person.     Being kind has a sort of ripple（涟漪）effect. This means that one kind action leads to more and more. So don't wait for kindness to find you，go and start a new ripple！ Tasks: 1．Why is being kind a win-win situation? ____________________________________________________ 2．What do many organizations encourage people to do? ____________________________________________________ 3．What does personal kindness mean? ____________________________________________________ 4．How does a person pass on a kindness card? ____________________________________________________ 5．What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage? ____________________________________________________ 【答案】1．Because it brings happiness to both the receiver and the doer of this kind action. 2．They encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible. 3．It means treating yourself kindly. 4．He/She passes on the card by doing a kind act for another person. 5．To call on/ encourage people to be kind. 【分析】本文主要讲述了善良，我们为什么要善良，什么是随机的善举，我怎样善良，世界善良日。 1．细节理解题。题意：为什么善良是双赢的举动？根据文章内容Being kind is a win-win situation. It brings happiness to both the receiver and the doer of this kind action. 善良是一种双赢的局面。它给这种行为的接受者和实施者都带来了快乐。故回答Because it brings happiness to both the receiver and the doer of this kind action。 2．细节理解题。题意：许多组织鼓励人们做什么? 根据文章内容Many organizations encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible. 许多组织鼓励人们在任何可能的时间和地点做善事。故回答They encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible。 3．细节理解题。题意：个人的善意是什么意思？根据文章内容The third category is personal kindness，which means treating yourself kindly，第三类是个人的善良,也就是善待自己。故回答It means treating yourself kindly。 4．细节理解题。题意：一个人如何传递一张善意的卡片? 根据文章内容Then it is his turn to pass on the card by doing a kind act for another person. 然后轮到他通过为他人做善事来传递卡片。故回答He/She passes on the card by doing a kind act for another person。 5．主旨大意题。题意：作者写这篇文章的意图是什么？根据文章内容可知，作者想要让大家都行善举，故回答To call on/ encourage people to be kind。 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Books 课时3 Lesson 6 分层作业 核心知识速记 01基础达标 02能力提升 03拓展培优 04思维进阶 词汇 prediction n. 预测 silent adj. 沉默的 consider v. 仔细考虑 eagerly adv. 热切地 focus v.集中(注意力） juicy adj. 多汁的 offer n. 主动提议 regret n. 遗憾 v. 感到遗憾 短语 take a look at 看一下…… back and forth 反复来回 一、单词默写。 1. _______ /ˈsaɪlənt/ adj. 沉默的 2. ________ /prɪˈdɪkʃn/ n. 预测 3. __________ /kənˈsɪdə/ v. 仔细考虑 4. ________ /ˈdʒuːsi/ adj. 多汁的 5. ________ /ˈɒfə/ n. 主动提议 6. ________ /ˈfəʊkəs/ v. 集中(注意力、精力等) 7. ________ /ˈiːgəlɪ/ adv. 热切地 8. ________ /rɪˈgret/ n. 遗憾 v. 感到遗憾 二、词组默写。 1. 反复来回 ______________________ 2. 看一下…… _______________________ 三、根据要求完成句子​ 1.他对未来的预测总是很准确。 His ______ about the future are always accurate. 2.得知这个消息后，房间里一片沉默。 The room fell ______ after hearing the news. 3.在做决定之前，我们必须仔细考虑所有选项。 We must ______ all options before making a decision. 4. 孩子们热切地等待着圣诞老人的到来。 The children waited ______ for Santa Claus to arrive. 5.​请看一下这份报告，然后告诉我你的想法。 Please ______ _____ _____ _____ the report and then tell me what you think. 6.她收到了一个去国外工作的主动提议。 She received an ______ to work abroad. 7.老师让学生们集中注意力在黑板上。 The teacher asked the students to _____ ____ the blackboard. 8.我喜欢吃多汁的桃子。 I like to eat ______ peaches. 9.钟摆反复来回地摆动。 The pendulum swings ______ _____ ______. 10.他最大的遗憾是没能多花时间陪伴家人。 His biggest ______ is not spending more time with his family. 四 、1．—Is this your mother’s car? —No. ________ car is blue.

What are "random acts of kindness"?     Many organizations encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible. Their idea is that it doesn't take any plan to be kind，just a little bit of effort. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)Foundation，who work with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. They believe that kindness can be taught. How can I be kind？     The RAK website suggests some ways to show kindness. Generally，they fall into three categories（类别）．The first is interpersonal kindness, like donating old clothes to charity or writing a positive online comment about a restaurant. The second is environmental kindness，which could mean recycling or cleaning a local park. The third category is personal kindness，which means treating yourself kindly，such as taking a walk in nature or treating yourself to a big meal. By being kind to yourself，you will be kinder to the world around you. What is World Kindness Day?     World Kindness Day takes place on 13November. People in many countries celebrate this day by being kind and having lots of fun. One typical event is to use “kindness cards”．You hand a kindness card to somebody when you do a kind act for him. Then it is his turn to pass on the card by doing a kind act for another person.     Being kind has a sort of ripple（涟漪）effect. This means that one kind action leads to more and more. So don't wait for kindness to find you，go and start a new ripple！ Tasks: 1．Why is being kind a win-win situation? ____________________________________________________ 2．What do many organizations encourage people to do? ____________________________________________________ 3．What does personal kindness mean? ____________________________________________________ 4．How does a person pass on a kindness card? ____________________________________________________ 5．What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage? ____________________________________________________ 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
