【題目】 Can you remember a time when somebody was kind to you? Maybe a stranger allowed you to go in front of him in a queue. Or perhaps a friend helped you in a much deeper way. There are a million ways to offer kindness.

Why should we be kind?

Being kind is a win-win situation. It brings happiness to both the receiver and the doer of this kind action. Let's imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. How about taking a moment to mention this to him? Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise，and you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy.

What are "random acts of kindness"?

Many organizations encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible. Their idea is that it doesn't take any plan to be kind，just a little bit of effort. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)Foundation，who work with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. They believe that kindness can be taught.

How can I be kind？

The RAK website suggests some ways to show kindness. Generally，they fall into three categories（類(lèi)別）．The first is interpersonal kindness, like donating old clothes to charity or writing a positive online comment about a restaurant. The second is environmental kindness，which could mean recycling or cleaning a local park. The third category is personal kindness，which means treating yourself kindly，such as taking a walk in nature or treating yourself to a big meal. By being kind to yourself，you will be kinder to the world around you.

What is World Kindness Day?

World Kindness Day takes place on 13November. People in many countries celebrate this day by being kind and having lots of fun. One typical event is to use “kindness cards”．You hand a kindness card to somebody when you do a kind act for him. Then it is his turn to pass on the card by doing a kind act for another person.

Being kind has a sort of ripple（漣漪）effect. This means that one kind action leads to more and more. So don't wait for kindness to find you，go and start a new ripple！

【題目】

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.

Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”

“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits ( 潛水服)

that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.

Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.

We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colors of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred meters under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.

At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs ( 灌 木 ) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.

We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

【1】What do you think the Nautilus is?

A.A kind of ship under the sea.B.A kind of fish in the sea.

C.A kind of plane in the sky.D.A kind of transport on land.
