　　There are a number of children's books that are designed to help children learn the difference among many wonderful colors that are in the world，and all of these books are designed to make it easy for children.

　　Pinkalicious

　　It is a story about a girl who eats many pink cupcakes one evening.The next morning，she wakes up and finds that she has not only pink hair，but pink skin！This fun story not only helps children to learn about many different shades(色度) and colors that are in the world and in their foods，but it also helps them to understand that，while sweets are a great pleasure，they have to eat healthy food regularly in order to stay healthy.

　　One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

　　The book is a series of vignettes(小片段) told through Dr.Seuss rhymes，making them fun for parents to read and fun for children to hear.As it is related to colors，the book shows some of the classic colors，including，of course，red and blue！Once children learn about red and blue，they can then learn how to make purple.

　　Mouse Paint

　　In this tale，three mice learn a lot about colors and how much fun you can have with them.They don't settle for just painting with the colors，however，but insist on dipping their toes (脚趾) into the colors and creating new combinations from them，showing children what happens when they mix red and blue or yellow and red together.

　　How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors?

　　This seemingly simplistic tale shows us how dinosaurs learn all about the different colors in the world through the items around them.Simple things teach the dinosaurs in the book what each color is.For instance，a purple towel that has been left on the floor shows both children and the dinosaurs what the color purple is.

　　Ⅱ.下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题(第9～13题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中选出适合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

　　A．Accept life as it is

　　B．Live in the moment

　　C．Put in the required effort

　　D．Get to know your problems

　　E．Work on what you really want

　　F．Turn challenges into opportunities

　　Life is a hard and long climb，but the journey is rewarding.It's just a matter of pushing forward when the going gets tough.Here are five tips to help inspire you when you need it most.

　　9．________

　　Lack of focus，not lack of ability，is the most common problem that holds people back from their potential.If you find it difficult to deal with where you are，or how life is treating you，it's time to change your focus.Start focusing on what you want going forward.Set a specific goal，keep your work centered on it，and you'll find the strength to move ahead in a positive direction.When you focus on the right thing，even the difficult steps will seem easier.The burdens of the moment become much more bearable when you connect with the purpose behind them.

　　10．________

　　By all means，find ways to be more efficient in your work.But make no mistake that it takes efforts to build something worthwhile.There are certainly some stories about people who succeeded rather quickly，but you will usually find they had put in years of related work long before anyone was paying attention to their seemingly rapid success.In other words，their achievement is simply all those years of work coming together.As Einstein once said，“Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work.” You must run to be a runner.You must write to be a writer.You must work to achieve high.

　　11．________

　　What is the difference between a problem and an opportunity？Our attitude toward it.Every opportunity has a difficulty，and every difficulty has an opportunity.When you see problems piled on top of problems，what are you really seeing？You're looking at a mountain of opportunity.You're looking at a situation in which you can truly make a difference.You're looking at an environment where you can reach great heights by pulling the reality of what's possible along with you.When you look at a problem，but see opportunity instead，you can transform grief into greatness.

　　12．________

　　Regardless of what has happened in the past or what might happen in the future，it's being here now that's important.We can gain experience from the past，but we can't edit it; we can hope for the future，but we don't know if it will ever come.The only life you can live is the moment you are in right now.Don't pretend that you're living in some other time and place.Start paying attention to the present.Start paying attention to your life.Say yes to the life you're living and notice how it starts to flow with you rather than against you.

　　13．________

　　Find peace in the thought that you can't ever have it all or know it all.You are always just a small part of the whole.If you weren't，there would be nothing more to experience.Value what you know，and also value the countless things you don't yet understand.For in what you do not understand，there is the joy of growth.Life will always be incomplete and sometimes unfair.Realize this and accept it.Be happy and sad at the same time，be hungry and thankful at the same time，be nervous and excited at the same time，and be okay with it.

　　答案　9.E　10.C　11.F　12.B　13.A

　　Good__afternoon，everyone!

　　The__topic__of__my__speech__today__is__“To__Be__a__Good__Partner”．Cooperation is a good way for us to learn from each other and it can save us a lot of time and energy.

　　We will be lucky enough to find someone we like to cooperate with，which will make us feel very happy.However，we often have to cooperate with someone we dislike.In this case，we should learn to put up with some of his shortcomings and try to discover his advantages.

　　How can we become a good partner？In my opinion，firstly，we should try to listen to others' opinions.If he makes mistakes，try to point them out in a polite way.Besides，never force your ideas on others.

　　Thank__you__for__your__listening！
