Confidence(自信) is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude（態(tài)度）. A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:
Speak loudly When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can understand you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. When you are athletic, you will be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day and see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everyone laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done.
Get rid of(消除) fear Fear comes along with failure(失敗). But it’s easy to get over if you know that failure is part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

If you want to do a school project on children’s rights, you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.
The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.
Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
Children must not be cruelly punished by their parents or any others.

In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.

Where Are We Going, Dad? is one of the most popular television shows in China now. Fathers now take an active part in their children's lives.

Be careful! Some people may use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but misses important information that should be included, he can create a false impression(印象).
For example, someone might say, "I just won 100 dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that ticket back to the store and they gave me 100 dollars!"
This man is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he paid 200 dollars for 200 tickets, and only one ticket won. He's really a big loser.
He didn't say anything that was false, but he didn't give the other important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not lies, but in fact they are dishonest.
Advertisements sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to lie in advertisements, so they try to deceive with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine-tenths of doctors believe that Fancy Pills will be good to cancer. " It doesn't tell you that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Fancy Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小題1:What does the underlined word "deceive" mean in Chinese?
A．坦白　B．引人注意　C．獲勝　D．欺騙
小題2:When people tell part of the truth,          .
A．they are really lying
B．they are lottery losers
C．they may want you to buy something
D．they may not be honest
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The truth can be used by dishonest people.
B．All lies are hidden in the truth.
C．Nine-tenths of doctors work for Fancy Company.
D．Advertisements are full of lies.
小題4:What does the writer clearly want people to do?
A．Think carefully when they read or hear something.
B．Spend no money on lottery tickets.
C．Never trust anyone no matter what they say.
D．Always tell the truth.
小題5:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Tell the Truth　　B．Everybody Lies
