Why do we often think that more_is_more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball—simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.1.What do the words “more is more”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.More money, more worries.B.Enough is enough.C.The more, the better.D.Earn more and spend more.2.What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A.Saving up for her holiday.B.Raising money for a poor girl.C.Adding the money to her fund.D.Giving the money to a sick mother.3.What did the author do in Paragraph 3?A.The author tried out an idea.B.The author thought of many questions.C.The author helped his son start a hobby.D.The author trained his son's attention.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Take It or Leave It B.Live More with LessC.A Lesson from Kids D.The Pleasure of GivingⅡ.七选五Being a VolunteerWhat can you do to help people? The answer is to be a volunteer! Then what is the common opinion of volunteering? __1__.•Help yourself by helping others__2__. It's amazing to know that volunteering can calm you down when you feel upset. Lots of people really enjoy volunteering, because doing volunteer work could make a big difference in their life. So where do you start? School is a good place to start if you are looking for volunteer ideas.•__3__Volunteering is a great way to have fun with your family.

Part ⅢDeveloping ideasTHE POWER of GOOD“The British Schindler”:the life of Nicholas WintonIt is August 1939,and a group of frightened children are boarding a train at Prague’s Wilson Station.Their heartbroken parents do not join them.(1)Indeed,they fear they may never see their children again.But they know that their children will live.These are among the 669 children,(2)most of them Jewish,that Nicholas Winton will go on to save from death at the hands of the Nazis.Nicholas Winton was born on 19 May 1909 in London,to German-Jewish parents.The family later took British nationality.(3)On leaving school,Winton worked in banks in Germany and France.He returned to Britain in 1931,(4)where he worked in business. In December 1938,a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to aid people (5)who were escaping from the Nazis.In Prague,(6)Winton saw people living in terrible conditions and (7)whose lives were in danger.He decided to help transport children to safety in Britain.He established an office to keep records of the children,and then returned to Britain to find temporary homes for them.He used donated funds and his own money to pay the 50 pounds per child (8) that the British government required.By August 1939,Winton had saved 669 children.During World WarⅡ,Winton served as an officer in Britain’s Royal Air Force.He left the military in 1954.He then worked for international charities and for various companies.For the most part,he did not (9)mention the children he saved,and his actions soon disappeared fr om people’s memories.That all changed in 1988 (10) when his wife Grete found a forgotten journal at home.The journal contained photographs and names of the children and addresses of the families (11)that took them in.She sent the journal to a newspaper,and that year Winton was seen on the British television programme That’s Life.At one point,the host asked people in the audience to stand up (12)if Nicholas Winton had saved their lives.A shocked Winton watched (13)as the majority of people rose to their feet.The programme brought his actions to public attention,and Winton became a respected figure around the world.Later,Winton received various honours for his achievement,including a knighthood in 2003,and the Czech government’s highest honour,the Order of the White Lion,in 2014.Nicholas Winton passed away on 1 July 2015,at the age of 106.(14) As the Chinese saying goes,“A kind-hearted person lives a long life.”(1)fear后的部分是省略了引导词that的宾语从句。
