What’s worse, eyeglasses can’t help her. As a result, she has to use a magnifier to look. However, the girl never gave up. She hoped to learn as much as she could. So after a year off she went back to school. ③Because of her poor eyesight, Huang’s learning is much more difficult than that of common students.

Even when her eyes are less than 5 cm away from a book, Huang can only see one or two words at a time. She often can’t find the beginning or the end when reading an English sentence. After class, she has to ask her classmates for help. ④To help Huang Hui, some teachers offer to teach her on weekends, and during winter and summer vacations. Huang Hui is brave (勇敢的) and outgoing even though she is facing many more difficulties than children of her age. And she works very hard. “We all tried our best to help her,” said Zhou Jifeng, the head teacher. ⑤Her parents make a living by growing oyster mushrooms (平菇) in a 20-square-meter greenhouse.

His journey from a young boy in a small village to a top scientist in China is truly inspiring. ②Huang Xuhua was born in a small village in Guangdong Province. When he was very young, China was going through many changes. Huang was always curious about the ocean and how things worked. He loved reading books and trying small experiments (实验). Huang was especially good at math and physics. The two subjects helped him build a strong foundation (基础) for his future career. When he grew older, he wanted to learn medicine at first under the influence of his parents who were both doctors in his hometown. However, to save China, Huang got into one of China’s best universities to study Naval Architecture. His university life was not easy, but Huang never gave up. He graduated (毕业) with excellent grades in the end. ③After graduation (毕业), Huang joined a research institute (机构) and focused on submarine design. There he faced many challenges, but he always kept strong-willed and put his shoulder to the wheel with other workmates. His efforts paid off in the end. China’s first nuclear-powered submarine was independently developed and built without any help of other countries. This project was not only a big step in technology but also the key to guarding China’s safety. Huang and his team worked day and night, even when things seemed impossible. His dream and love for his country kept him going on. ④Huang’s work has earned him many awards, including the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, one of China’s highest honors. Although Huang achieved success, he remains humble. He often tells young people to stay curious, work hard, and never give up. Huang Xuhua’s story shows us how dreams and resolutions can lead to great achievements. He really sets a good example for all young people. 13. What was Huang Xuhua interested in when he was young?

We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance (自我接纳) can help you feel happier. We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance (自我接纳) can help you feel happier and better about yourself. What is self-acceptance? Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are. As well as being thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing in the school choir, self-acceptance also means valuing (重视) the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance is “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths (强项), and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.” Why is self-acceptance good for you? When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident (自信的). The Anna Freud Centre, a charity (慈善机构) that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards. Learning to accept everything about yourself can also help you find what you’re really good at. For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems. To sum up, each of us is unique with both strengths and weaknesses. Self-acceptance is never about being perfect, but about embracing (接纳) every part of ourselves sincerely. 41. Does self-acceptance help us feel happier? __________________________________________________________ 42. What does Lily say self-acceptance means? __________________________________________________________ 43. What are the advantages (优点) of self-acceptance? __________________________________________________________ 44. How can you accept yourself?

Among them, the one I’m most interested in is the light bulb, which was invented by Thomas Edison. Before it appeared, people could hardly work or read after sunset. It successfully solved the problem of darkness at night and made our life much more convenient. In my opinion, this invention is truly great because it brings light to our life. From Edison, I have learned the spirit of perseverance. Although he failed thousands of times, he never gave up. This encourages me to face difficulties bravely in my daily life. I hope everyone can learn from such great inventors. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
