On the morning of Halloween，we paid a visit to a pumpkin（南瓜） farm. Each of us brought a pumpkin to school with us. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two triangle eyes and a scary mouth.

In the afternoon，we put on the Halloween costumes and went on parade in school. Some of the costumes were nice，but some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman's clothes.

I did a lot of things that day，but the part I liked best was “trick or treat” in the evening. After dinner，I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped to get a lot of candies from people. At first，I was a bit nervous，so when I knocked at the door，my heart was beating very fast. A lady came out，and I said carefully to her，“Trick or treat.” My voice was very low，and even myself could hardly hear it. To my surprise，the lady was so kind to give me two candy bars，and I was so excited，thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn't remember how many houses I visited，but I could remember how many candies I got — I got 91 pieces of candy that day，and I was so proud of myself.

What a happy Halloween I had！And I wish we could have a Halloween every month!

Paper was first made in China about 2，000 years ago. In Egypt and the West，paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. Paper was not made in Southern Europe until about the year 1100. After that，the forestry countries of Canada，Sweden，Norway，F(xiàn)inland，and the United States became the most important in paper-making. Today Finland makes the best paper in the world. And it has the biggest paper industry in the world.

When we think of paper，we think of newspapers，books，letters，envelopes，and writing paper. So paper plays an important role in our lives.

Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often insulated (隔熱) with paper. You perhaps have seen homeless men sleep on a large number of newspapers. They are insulating themselves from the cold. In Finland，in winter it is sometimes 40 degrees below zero. The farmers wear paper boots in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.

【1】What did the invention of paper mean?

A. Before the year 2000.??? B. After the year 1400.??? C. After the year 1100.

【3】Which country makes the best paper?

A. Norway.??? B. Canada.??? C. Finland.

【4】What's the meaning of the sentence “Nothing could be warmer.”？

A. Books are warmer.??? B. Newspapers are warmer.??? C. Paper is the warmest.

“I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing a green one. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves,” he said.

The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behaviour wear green scarves. Parents were angry. “The punish-ment is too bad. All children need their self-esteem (自尊) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right. It does harm to students’ self-esteem,” said one mother.

Educational expert (專家) Li Zhenxi said that school students have strong self-esteem. They hope to be respected (尊重) and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than call them ‘bad’ students,” he said. Now, the school has stopped the practice.

Some schools think more of students’ self-esteem and have done better in protecting students’ privacy

(隱私) and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using students’ names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Many teachers in China tell students their grades by sending text messages to their students.

Schools and teachers are doing more for students’ self-esteem. But it is a long way. Both teachers and parents should realize that test scores are not the only measure (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard. Adults should make students get to know their own value. The most important is to make students believe in themselves.

Green scarves and self-esteem

?

S is for specific (具體的): For example, instead of setting a goal (目標(biāo)): of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.

M is for measurable (可測量的): Don’t try to “become healthy”, instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan. For example, try to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week for an evening meal, or to eat no more than 200 grams of chocolate a week.

A is for achievable(可完成的): If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t try to take part in the 2020 Olympics. Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to try for the stars—baby steps are good.

R is for relevant (恰當(dāng)?shù)?/span>): Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong. They may go on for a few weeks before they fail. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather choose goals that really speak to you.

T is for time-conscious (心中有數(shù)的): Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. That way, you know when you’ve succeeded, failed or whether you need to work harder to finish it before the last day.
