Many kids think whatthey are like.They think they aren"t the prettiest or the smartest. At the same time, they think they aren"t even the ugliest or the silliest, which would at least make them out. Everyone feels that way sometimes, in middle school. Kids realize how special they are.
It is growing up. Growing up means understanding what you can offer the world. When you"re young, you realize that just by being yourself, you do offer to other people. Maybe you aren"t the best, but that doesn"t make you "not amazing".
Do yourself a favor. Think about your friends carefully. Write down a list of things that you like about them. Think about you make friends with them. You will know that in the end, no matter if they aren"t the smartest or the prettiest or talented, they are great in their own way. And they feel just the same you!
Remember, it gets easier as you grow older. If you try your best, you are still pretty .

小题6:考查连词及语境的理解。 A. reason理由； B. season季节； C. where哪里； D. why为什么。根据下文阐述了孩子们跟别人交朋友的原因“they are great in their own way”，可知这里问的是原因，用why，故本题选D。
小题7:考查动词短语及语境的理解。本题中出现了“will”可见后跟动词原形，再结合语境，最后你将渐渐明白。get to know表示渐渐明白，故本题选A。
小题8:考查形容词最高级及语境的理解。根据文中the smartest or the prettiest为最高级可知有or连接的并列成分此处用最高级，故选D

I bought a jasmine（茉莉花）plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom（开花）and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.
In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.
Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man isn’t useful to himself and to others. If one is too lazy to work ,he will probably beg (乞讨) or steal (偷).So every boy, when he is young, should learn some useful work.
But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put all his heart into his work, and not waste his free time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is important for young people as for the old.
The habit of getting up early is helpful to diligence(勤奋), and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed(形成) when one is young. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and make use of (利用）his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed(成功) in life and become useful to one’s country. So we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
