The kids in the neighbourhood also like to help others. Robbie always does kind things for Marie, an old lady living next door. He does small things for her. Marie likes talking to Robbie.

B At Maplewood High School, everyone knows Liam. He is just 1.6 metres tall, but he is the star player of the school basketball team. However, things were different in the beginning. He didn’t make the basketball team the first time he tried out. Many students laughed at Liam and said, “Basketball isn’t for short boys!” But Liam loved the game more than anything! He didn’t let this stop him. Instead, he practised harder. His short height gave him great agility, helping him get past taller players on the basketball court. Liam’s hard work paid off (成功). He made the team five months later. Soon he became their star player. With his quick steps and smart moves, he surprised the crowd with great passes and three-pointers. Running fast and moving smartly, he passed the ball perfectly and took great shots. When the last game of the season arrived, Liam decided to do his best. He encouraged his teammates, led them with confidence and together, they played their hearts out. In the end, the game ended with a score of 108 to 105. The last three-point shot from Liam made the difference. Jumping up and down, they celebrated a sweet victory. Liam turned laughter into cheers, showing everyone that height can’t determine success.

C Adam Hamdaqa, a Grade 7 student, used his phone to create an award-winning science project—the Guardian Helmet (守护者头盔). Adam loves riding his bike, but one day, he fell off and broke his arm. When he was sent to the hospital, his mind raced with many “What if” questions. “What if I was away from home? What if I didn’t wear my helmet? What if I didn’t bring my phone?” he wondered. This accident made him wonder how he could help people in similar situations. Then he had an idea. “What if I make a helmet that could call for help by itself?” he thought. Adam bought a helmet and started working on it. He put a small sensor (传感器) inside the helmet. The sensor can feel how fast a person is riding and it can sense if they fall. Then he made a phone app. If the sensor feels a hard fall, the app sends a message to someone the rider chooses. Adam chose his mum to call if in need of help. “Mum can come to help right away! She’s my guardian,” Adam said. Besides, this cool helmet protects his head and calls for help if there is an accident. That’s why he named it the Guardian Helmet! At a big science fair in Montreal, Adam’s project outperformed those of older students, and he won first prize! The judges said his invention was clever and useful. “You shouldn’t use your phone while biking,” he said. “But using a phone app to keep safe? That’s the coolest thing ever!” 8. What made Adam decide to create the Guardian Helmet? A. A bike fall. B. A car accident. C. His interest in making helmets. D. His mother’s need for a helmet. 9. What does the sensor inside the helmet do? A. It plays music. B. It takes pictures. C It turns on lights. D. It senses speed and falls. 10. The underlined word “outperformed” in the last paragraph means “________”. A. cost more than B. got better results than C. was harder to carry than D. was easier to make than 11. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Phones have many useful apps. B. Bike riding can be dangerous sometimes. C. Science fairs in Montreal are fun to visit. D. A boy turned a problem into a helpful invention. D Do you get nervous when you talk to someone? Do you find it hard to have a conversation with a stranger? If you have such worries, it is time for you to learn some more conversation skills. Here are some tips for making better conversations. Listen carefully and show interest in others. One of the most important things is to listen to the person you speak to.
