A group of frogs (青蛙) were travelling through the bush when two of them fell into a deep hole. The other frogs tried to help them. When they saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they could not be saved and that they were almost dead. The two frogs didn’t listen to their words and tried their best to jump out of the hole. But the other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs listened to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog, however, continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to give up and wait for death. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs asked, “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained that he had poor hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

Words have the power of life and death. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through their difficulties. A destructive (破壞性的) word to someone who is down can be fatal. So always be careful of what you say.

I love to tell the story about how I met my best friend-Tiger. We met at the school fair (集市). Each year, all the fourth-grade classes hold a school fair. Everyone in the fourth grade works at the fair. Some sell ice cream, drinks and snacks, others take care of the little children who ride the horses. I got the second job and I've never forgotten it, because that's where I met Tiger.

My job was to help little children get on the back of a little horse. I kept telling the children to wait their turn and holding ice cream for them while they rode about. It’s clear that I was growing older and should be more responsible.

Suddenly, a boy came to the horse. He took the little horse's reins (韁繩)! The horse stopped, and the girl on its back started to fall. I was trying to reach the girl when I saw Tiger go by my legs. It held the horse's reins and pulled the horse away from my legs. I caught the girl just before we both hit the ground. The girl sat on top of me. She was laughing at the ice cream on my face. The horse's reins were in Tiger's mouth!

Thanks to Tiger's fast action, I saved the little girl. We were both heroes. And Tiger, the fastest dog I've ever known became my new best friend.

Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her name. If this happens, you are typical— actually most people have the problem remembering names.

Here are some ways that can help people remember names.

◎ Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack.” Instead of saying “Where do you live?” you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”

◎ Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.

◎ Write the name down as soon as possible.

There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.

◎ Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.

◎ Think of a rhyme（押韻）for the person's name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.

All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away. Remembering names takes work and practice.

1.The word “typical” probably means “______”.

A. funny B. common C. strange D. careless

2.Which of the following may seem unusual to help remember a name?
