21、An Activity for Reading
By CCTV
Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are successful!
We wish you spend wonderful hours of reading with children! This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program “Readers” to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.
Activity: Read to me
It’s important to read to your children, and it’s also important to listen to them when they read to you.
What you’ll need: Books at your child’s reading level
What to do:
▲Read good books to your children. Parents who read aloud to their children are developing their interest and skills in reading. Encourage your children to listen, express their ideas, and ask questions.
▲Take turns. You read a paragraph and let your child read the next one. If your child becomes easier with reading aloud, you can ask him or her to read a full page.
▲Listen carefully as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage them to practice reading. This is another way to enjoy reading together.
▲If your child has trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways:
●Ask the child to jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.
●Guide your child to use what he or she knows about letter sounds.
●Tell your child that you are proud of his or her hard working.

22、 Hobbies are very important to a person. Without having any hobby, life won't be as colorful as it should be.
I have a number of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments (乐器), reading, and doing sport activities. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood (情绪低落), I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.
Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform good music. After a period if you still enjoy it, gradually it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.
【1】Hobbies sometimes can make a person ________.
A.in a blue mood B.perform good C.cheer himself / herself up
【2】How can we make our study enjoyable?
A.Practice over and over. B.Treat our study as a hobby. C.Improve our moods.
【3】Which of these is WRONG?
A.Hobbies are important for a person.
B.Playing musical instruments is a kind of hobby.
C.If we often do but never enjoy doing something, it will be our hobby someday.
23、My name is Wang Qiang. I am nine years old. I came to America with my mum, dad and little brother from Shanghai, China two years ago. It was difficult to leave behind my friends, but the most difficult thing was learning a new language — English.
Over the last two years, I've got to understand most of the words my friends speak. But I was still often at a loss. And sometimes the words I speak sound quite different.
I think it would be okay if all I had to do was learn to speak English. But I had to learn reading and writing. In English, one letter can make many different sounds.Take the letter C for example (例子). If C is the first letter of a word like “cat”, its pronunciation is “k”, but when it is the first letter of a word like “centre”, its pronunciation is “s”. And think about W. If it is the first letter of a word like “white”, its pronunciation is “w”, but when it's the first letter of a word like “write”, it doesn't make any sound. How can I remember all of these?
Luckily, with the help of my teachers and classmates, I keep getting better. I'm sure someday I will speak English as well as them.

24、Alice Lee is a high school student studying at a private school. She is doing some voluntary work at an afterschool program to help students from poor families.
On the first day of her work, she noticed that many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the school cafeteria(餐厅). She was surprised. One of the organizers explains that many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home. So a school lunch or an afterschool meal might be the most food they would get all the day. She has also been told that some hungry kids can receive free lunches, but others are only allowed reduced price meals, and those students’ families have to pay for the part of their food.
Lee was shocked. She decided to offer help to those who are suffering from hunger. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it,” says Lee. She and a group of friends are using their programing skill to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kindhearted strangers to donate money to a lunch account(账户) for students in need at a nearby school. To receive financial(经济的) help, a family will need only a letter of recommendation from a school headmaster, and no one else has to know.
“I want to make all the app users feel no shame in using,” says Lee. She hopes to test the app in a school this fall.
【1】What did Alice Lee see on the first day of her voluntary work?
A.Children lining up for free food.
