Nine months ago,I was packing my daughter’s backpack with new school supplies,wondering how I was going to send her off to kindergarten.I stood on the playground,tears pouring down my face because I wasn’t ready for this first day of kindergarten,but she was ready.Today I will be standing on the playground,once again

with tears,because this precious time went by too quickly.This week I realized that I never told you “thank you”,I don’t know how to express a mother’s thanks in the way a teacher deserves.
We first met you at the open house the week before school started and I immediately knew you would be the type of teacher we would appreciate forever. While the students lined up for the day,you touched each one on the shoulder as you greeted them.If a student was having a tough morning,you quietly held his hand and walked him into the school.
I got to know you as I volunteered in the lunch room.You made sure your students were all ready for lunch before you went on your own lunch break.You kept track of their big things and small things,because as a veteran kindergarten teacher,you know that the small things are the big things.I loved the way you made each student feel special.You helped them fall in love with school,which is so important at the start.
To all of the teachers in the world who are like you,I wish you knew how grateful parents are for you.We adore you,respect you,and appreciate you.We don’t tell you enough—we probably don’t tell you ever.I wish we could take you with us to the next 12 grades.

D.she worked as a teacher at lunch time
26.What does the underlined word “veteran” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Beautiful. B.Generous. C.Humorous. D.Skillful. 27.What is this text mainly about?

People who realize and master the art of small talk can use it to improve relationships.Small talk can lead totalk—more important discussions.Using small “big”
talk,you can achieve big results.But many people do have fears that hold them back from making small talk.
For one thing,those who refuse to make small talk usually fear the unknown.

When I was little, my mom said,“Don’t talk to strangers!”For some people,that childhood fear of strangers continues into adulthood.
Suppose you are at a business networking event and have checked out who is there and found potential (潜在的) conversation partners.You’re ready to make your move,but there are butterflies in your stomach.You are too frightened to introduce yourself to total strangers.
Consider a different situation for the next networking event you attend.To overcome your nervousness,you can think of yourself as an event’s host and not its guest.As a host,you would introduce yourself to people you don’t know and introduce them to others.You can play the role of the host even though you are not the actual host.Get in the habit of holding out your hand first and saying,“Hi, my name is ...”
Another reason why people refuse to open their mouth is the fear of rejection（拒绝）.Anytime you open your mouth and speak,you risk rejection.If you never talk to people,you won’t be rejected.But if you never talk to people,you will also be very lonely.The best way I’ve found to overcome the fear of rejection is to focus on how I feel when I am accepted.
So ask yourself:what do I have to lose?Nothing!What do I have to gain?Possibly everything!Think back to when you first met your best friend or any important person in your life.How did it all start?You probably started with small talk. 28.In paragraph 1,the author wants to tell us that a small talk is_____.

A.To discuss. B.To advise. C.To describe. D.To introduce.

It’s not just kids who are overdoing screen time.Parents are often just as guilty of spending too much time checking smart phones and emails. And the consequences for their children can be troubling.
Dr. Jenny Radesky is a pediatricianspecializing in child development. （儿科医生）
When she worked at a clinic in a high-tech Seattle neighborhood, Radesky started noticing how often parents ignored their kids in favor of a mobile device（装置）. Radesky was so concerned that she decided to study the behavior.
After relocating to Boston Medical Center,she and two other researchers spent one summer observing 55 different groups of parents and young children eating at fast food restaurants.“Many of the caregivers pulled out a mobile device right away,”she
