I’m glad that you support me when I decide to do anything. You always try to help, and that’s important to me.

Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I loved going even though I never caught anything. I also remember when you would get angry with me. I realize you were only trying to show me the right way. When I cried, you would always be there to try to cheer me up. That’s what I call a good, loving and caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don’t agree with me, but you are there on my side in anything that I do, and that’s why I love you so much.

Mom, I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night, and I hope that that never changes. I love telling you everything and the best part of you is that you listen. I’m glad we have a lot of fun together. You always give me your opinion and I listen. Thank you for bringing me up.

There may be many frustrations and setbacks on the road to the future, but the thought of your support and help fills my heart with strength. Dear Mom and Dad, I love you and I love our family. I hope and believe that we will be happy all the time.

28、17 Year-Old Astronaut

Elena Wolf is a reporter and is interviewing(采访）a 17 year-old girl，Alyssa Carson，who wants to go to Mars(火星）. Here is what Alyssa Carson and her father said about her great dream.

Alyssa Carson, Aspiring(有抱负的）Astronaut：

Well, I first got interested in wanting to become an astronaut (宇航员)from watching a cartoon called the Backyardigans when I was around three years old. And basically on the show, the characters went on these imaginary missions(任务) to Mars. I wanted to be like one of their friends and go with them, and I started asking my dad all these questions, and basically just kept asking for videos, pictures and books and anything I could find about space and Mars.

Bert Carson, Alyssa’s Father

I’m just of that nature that I believe that parents should support their children in whatever their dreams are. It doesn’t matter if it changes a thousand times. It doesn’t matter how crazy it is, because it doesn’t get any crazier than what my kid is dreaming. And you know, there’s a great potential that she’s probably going to leave this planet. Because you have to look at this. You say, is she too young to be doing some of this thing? You know, every kid out there, if they’re wanting to do whatever job it is, you know, there are people getting pilot licenses and doing flying lessons. I mean, there are eight and nine year-olds doing this. So, I mean, to be 17 and getting a pilot’s license I don’t think is that young at all. As far as her going off into space, like I said, space is a very dangerous thing. All it wants to do is kill you. So, you know, I worry about that, but on the other side of that, she has educated me to show how important it is for us to leave this planet for the survival (生存；幸存)of the human species, and so it’s bigger than the two of us, and so I just have to let her go and I have to let her realize her dream.

【1】Alyssa Carson first got interested in wanting to become an astronaut when she was ________ years old.

A．Two

B．Three

C．Four

D．Five

【2】From what Bert Carson said, we can know that he _______his daughter’s great dream.

A．refuses

B．opposes

C．supports

D．delays

【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?

A．Alyssa Carson longs to go to Mars.

B．A cartoon called the Backyardigans has a great effect on Alyssa Carson.

C．In Bert Carson’s opinion, his daughter is too young to realize her dream.

D．Getting off into space is a dangerous thing.

29、Have you ever struggled to understand how someone else feels? Building up your empathy (同理心) skills helps you connect with your friends. 【1】

What is empathy?

Empathy is a kind of capability that lets you step into someone else’s shoes and then figure out how they are feeling. For instance, if you can see your friend is upset after losing a football match and you support them by telling them some warm and motivating words, you are showing empathy. Miranda McKeamey set up an organization called EmpathyLab that builds empathy through reading. 【2】 “Empathy is a force for change,” she says.

【3】

Scientists say empathy isn’t something you are born with, it’s a skill you can acquire through learning. One way you can do this is by active listening. When someone is talking to you, listen closely and respond in a way that shows you understand their situations and emotions thoroughly. Reading, advocated by EmpathyLab, is also a great way to boost empathy, since stories can take you inside someone else’s mind and show you the world through their eves and emotions.

Put empathy into action.

【4】 This could mean trying out something that is important to a friend or family member, like exploring their favorite place. EmpathyLab advocated ideas for putting empathy into action in schools or at home. That might be connecting with someone new in your class and having a friendly conversation, or making small changes to your behaviour. All small acts of kindness to others can make a difference, which in turn will be copied by someone else. 【5】

A．How can you have more empathy?

B．Who need empathy most in daily life?

C．Besides, it also spreads kindness and inspires them to do the same.

D．To find out more conducts you can do, log in EmpathyLab.UK.com.

E．Only by putting empathy into action can you relate to others’ bad lives.

F．She believes even small, supportive actions can have a positive impact.

G．Miranda recommends going into the thick of people’s lives to show empathy.
