     Help someone feel better
     Not every accident or injury needs a visit to the hospital.But it doesn't mean you should not try to help someone injured，even though the injury isn't very serious.You can use first aid to help anyone in need，for example，a person who doesn't feel well because of a fever.

• 3．Many parents make their children do chores around the house.For some families，teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy.But in other families，getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.
     It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age that all family members must work together to make the house clean and each person must do his or her share（份） of the work.We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities when children are young.
     Chores are good for children—even very young ones.Doing chores teaches children many important skills（技能），such as working together and being responsible.Jobs also teach children what is fair（公平的） and doing things for ojye.airs.The skills and values （價(jià)值） from doing chores will do good to children all their lives.
  （1）The first paragraph tells us

  .
  A．a(chǎn)ll the parents make their children do chores
  B．it's easy to teach children to do chores
  C．it is different on teaching children to do chores among different families

• 4．Dear Anna Peterson，
        ▲ I ever did well in my study before.But now I find it difficult to concentrate on it.Even when I'm in school，in the quiet classroom and when the teacher is speaking in class，I can't concentrate.I don't think about anything.My mind goes nothing.And sometimes I think about something.It could be anything，a movie...And then I act like one of the characters，and do this everywhere.I don't even realize what I'm doing till something gets my attention and pulls me back to my real life.
     I can't always write down the important things my teacher says，because I write too slowly.I'm not good at writing and I usually hand in my homework late because I put off doing it until the last minute.So I often have to find different excuses to tell my teacher why I didn't do my homework.I'm sure I'm going to fail my final exam in late January.I'm now so far behind other students that I don't know how to catch up with them.But there is only one month left，you know.I am worried all day，and I know this won't be of any help to me.I get distracted really easily.
     My life has changed a lot.Can you help me？
  Yours，
  Mel Barnes

• 5．We all know that getting the flu is not fun.There are headaches，coughs，fevers，and other terrible feelings.To help us get better we take some medicine and get much rest.We also drink lots of water and eat healthy food to make us feel better.
     However，some people don't want to get sick at all.So they get a flu shot before the flu season starts.The flu shot is in fact，a vaccine （疫苗） not usual cold medicine.It will protect them from the flu.
