Are you the type of person who easily gets less confident by negative  advice? Follow this short lesson about self confidence.
Henry Ward Beecher was a well-known American churchman, social reformer  and speaker in the middle of the 19th century. When he was a young boy in school, he learned a lesson which he never forgot.
Once he was called up to recite  in front of the class. When he recited only a few lines, the teacher interrupted with a forceful "No!" He started over and again the teacher shouted, "No!" Ashamed, Henry sat down.
The next boy rose to recite and had just begun when the teacher shouted, "No!" This student, however, kept on reciting until he completed it. As he sat down, the teacher replied, "Very good!"
Henry was angry. "I recited just as he did," he complained to the teacher.
But the teacher replied, "It is not enough to know your lesson, you must be sure. When you allowed me to stop you, it meant that you were uncertain, if the world says, No! it is your business to say Yes! and prove it."
The world will say, "No!" in a thousand ways.
"No! You can't do that."
"No! You are wrong."
"No! You are too young."
"No! You don't have the education."
"No! You don't have the ability."
"No! You don't have the money."
"No! You can't work it out."
And each "No!" you hear has the possibility to weaken your confidence bit by bit until you give up all together.
When the world says, "No!" to you, you should be strong-minded to say, "Yes!" and prove it.

<question>:
What did Henry do when the teacher said "No!" to him the second time?

B He gave up reciting.
C He kept on reciting.
D He asked the teacher Why.

Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki's bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispered in a soft voice, "Wake up, darling, please." After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, "Wake up at once , or you'll be late !"
If you don't get up after the second recording, a mechanical "foot" in the bed will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You're still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!
Hiroyuki's bed is not in stores. There is only one bed--- the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest. Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki's bed and sell it in stores. Maybe people will buy millions of beds. Then Hiroyuki will be rich. If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich, he won't need to work, and he won't need to get up early!

<question>:

A man had two sons. They were twins. They were born at almost the same time and looked exactly alike. But in one important way they were very different. One was an optimist ,while the other one was a pessimist .
The man was worried about his sons. There are good and bad things in life, he knew. He did not want them to be too pessimistic or too optimistic. He took his problem to a friend, Sally.
"How can I cure them of their foolish optimism and pessimist?" he asked his friend .
Sally was thoughtful. Then she said, "When is their next birthday?"
"It's on Wednesday," the father replied. "They'll be twelve years old."
"Excellent," Sally said. "Here's what you should do. Give your pessimist son a really wonderful present. Give your optimistic son a really poor present. That should cure them of their optimism and pessimisms."

"Huh," he said, "I don't like this very much .I'm sure it won't keep good time. It will always be fast or slow and it will probably break many times, and I'll have to spend lots of money to get it repaired ."
Then the optimist looked at his present. He was really pleased. "Look! Dad's given me a shoelace  ." he said. He held up the shoelace.
"I haven't found the shoes yet, but I'm sure they are here somewhere."

Fire can help people in many ways. But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.
Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.
Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.
Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.
Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.

Do you believe that you aren't smarter than 3-year-old Alexis Martin, one of the youngest members of the high IQ club Mensa?
Preschooler   Alexis' IQ is 159, which is only one point lower than Stephen Hawking's. Doctors say the average IQ of a person is about 100.
She learned to read at the age of 2. She reads at a fifth grade level and has taught herself Spanish on her parents' iPad!
Now, she is a member of the Mensa Club, which only accepts people with an IQ within the top two per cent of people in the world!
Alexis' father, Ian Martin, said he first realized Alexis was special when she was 12 months old. She could recite   bedtime stories. "We'd be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime stories from the night before. She didn't just recite them, and she recited them exactly."
Alexis' father would try to trick her and say that her story went a different way, but she always corrected him.
Most 12-month-old children take their first steps on their own and most 18-month-olds can only name a small number of objects and body parts, and follow simple two-step questions.
Even though Alexis is a genius  , her parents are faced with lots of challenges like how to teach her to make friends of her own age.
"Will she go into kindergarten early? We are kind of hesitant   because we do want her to get to that social world," Ian said.

To understand why the Earth is warming up , first of all, we need to understand why it is warm. Our planet is covered with atmosphere  . Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and reaches the Earth. The Sun heats up the Earth's surface. When the heat rises into the air, it is stopped by some special gases  in the atmosphere like CO2, the heat returns to the Earth and keeps _ warm.
Power stations and cars release   so many greenhouse gases every day. So we can help stop global  warming by using less electric things such as turning off lights when we leave a room, asking our parents to turn down the heating in our house to save energy. We can also stop global warming by finding other ways of transportation. For example, ride a bicycle or walk instead of going by car. Another way to help stop global warming is to plant and care for trees. Because trees take in CO2, they are our best friends when fighting against global warming.
The problem of global warming cannot be solved in a day. It may take a long time to find clean energy, such as wind energy. It may take a long time to plant the trees again we are cutting down. But every little thing each person can do to save energy and our forests will help. Think about our planet. Think about ways we can help make the Earth a safe and comfortable place for the future.

People sometimes say, "It's raining cats and dogs!" when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things "raining" down. In 1956, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.
During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.
There are other reports of strange "rains" failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes.
Can these strange "rains" be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado   has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of birds' blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn   to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky , and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!

During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.
There are other reports of strange "rains" failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes.
Can these strange "rains" be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado   has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of birds' blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn   to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky , and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!

<options>:
A the tornado picked up the birds' blood
B there were no strong winds that day
C flying birds were torn into pieces by strong winds
D those birds were bleeding while flying
