He opened the door of the inn, singing the song I knew so well: “Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest Yo ho-ho, and a bottle of rum (朗姆酒) !”“A glass of rum,” he said when he came inside.“This is a pleasant inn,” he said. “Do you have any customers?”“Not many,” my father answered.“Well, this is the place for me. You can call me ‘captain’,” he said. Then he asked a man to carry his large box to his room. “I’ m a simple man,” he told my father, “Rum and bacon and eggs are all I want for meals. Here are four gold coins to start. Tell me when I have to pay more.”During the day he went to the cliffs (悬崖) with his telescope (望远镜) and in the evening he sat by the fire drinking rum and water. He asked about sailors every day. Whenever a sail or visited the inn, the captain was always very quiet. One day he told me, “If you see a sailor with one leg, tell me as soon as he arrives.” At that time, I suddenly realized the captain wanted to avoid him.When the captain drank too much rum, he sang sea-songs and told the other customers the stories about his life at sea.He stayed month after month, but he didn’t give my father any more money. My poor father didn’t dare to ask. Everyone was so afraid of the captain and his stories. The only person who was not afraid of him was the local doctor, Dr. Livesey.“If you keep drinking rum like that, you will very soon be dead,” he warned the captain.(Adapted from Treasure Island) 28．What was the captain doing when he first opened the door of the inn?A．Dancing.B．Singing.C．Telling jokes.D．Drinking water. 29．What did the captain give to Jim’s father to pay for the meals?A．An empty bottle.B．A large box.C．Four gold coins.D．A telescope.30．Who does the underlined word “him” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A．Jim.B．Jim’s father.C．A sailor with one leg.D．Dr. Livesey. 31．What kind of stories did the captain tell the other customers?A．Funny.B．Scary.C．Warm.D．Moving.Many Chinese students know the name Li Hua, a made-up boy. Middle school students pretend (假装) to be him when they write letters in English tests. The letters Li Hua writes change every year. That shows how English education in China has changed over time.This year is China’s 75th birthday. The country has done a great job at teaching English and helping people talk to others from different cultures.Tian Lijun, born in 1980, is from Dalian, Liaoning. Dalian is a coastal city, so English was added to the school subjects soon. She started to learn English in middle school in the 1990s. “At first, we learned letters and sounds, then words,” she remembers. “I didn’t learn to make sentences. And the English books were boring.”Later on, English classes began in earlier grades and became more interesting.Students like Wang Mengqi, born in the 2000s, started learning English before Grade One. “We had fun books with pictures and colorful letters,” Wang says.The way teachers teach and the tools they use have also changed a lot. Tian’s first English teacher used to teach in Chinese, but Wang says his teacher encouraged him to speak only English during class. In the past, Tian’s teachers relied on blackboards. Nowadays, students like Wang use computers to practice listening and speaking English.Thanks to updated (更新的) textbooks and lessons that show what’s happening around the world, Chinese students are getting more interested in English learning. “New events can be in the next book. The lessons are connected with real life,” says high school student Lei Chenxiang.The topics for English articles are changing, too. Now, students help Li Hua tell stories about China to his foreign friends. Wang believes these changes reflect China’s growing cultural confidence. “China’s growing role in the world is important,” she says.32．According to the first paragraph, who is Li Hua?A．A Chinese girl.B．An English teacher.C．A made-up boy.D．A boy in real life.33．How is Wang Mengqi’s English learning experience different from Tian Lijun’s?① Wang started learning English before Grade One.① Wang had colorful and interesting English books.① Wang was encouraged to speak Chinese during class.① Wang uses computers to practice listening and speaking.A．①①B．①①①C．①①D．①①①34．What are the updated English textbooks like in China now?A．They only include traditional Chinese stories.B．They are not interested in real-lifeevents.C．They include new and worldwide events.D．They focus a lot on grammar exercises. 35．What’s the best title for the passage?A．The Development of English Education in China B．The Introduction of ChineseEducation in ChinaC．The Changes in English Article Topics D．The Changes in Teaching Ways and Tools①The C919, China’s first home-grown airplane, plays an important role in the country’s aviation industry (航空业). This exciting development means that China is now able to build its own airplanes, just like the big names Boeing and Airbus.①The C919 is a bit like the Airbus A320 and the Boeing B737. It can carry between 158 and 192 passengers and can fly distances between 4, 075 kilometers to 5, 555 kilometers. That’s enough to fly from one side of China to the other!①China Eastern Airlines (航空公司), which got its C919s first, has already used them on several routes (线路) within China. The C919s, flying with China Eastern Airlines last year, have completed over 3, 600 flights and flown for more than 10, 000 hours. That’s a lot of flying and agood sign that the plane can be trusted.①Air China and China Southern Airlines have just taken delivery of (收货) their first C919 airplanes. They plan to use these planes on many different routes, which means more people will get to fly on them.①Air China, China Southern Airlines, and China Eastern Airlines have all ordered 100 C919s each, and they expect to get all of them by 2031. So far, more than 1, 000 orders have been placed for the C919. That’s a lot of interest in a new airplane!①China’s air travel market is growing fast, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. As more people travel, the request for airplanes will keep increasing.①Experts predict that China’s air travel market will become the biggest in the world by 2043. That means a lot more airplanes will be needed, and the C919 could be a big part of that growth.①The C919 is not just about flying people from one place to another. ▲ This can lead to even more advanced (先进的) products in the future. So, the C919 is not just an airplane; it’s a symbol of China’s progress and a sign of even greater things to come.36．Why is the C919 important to China’s aviation industry?A．Because it’s China’s first home-grown airplane.B．Because it’s much better than the Airbus A320.C．Because it can fly from one side of Russia to the other.D．Because it’s the first fighter plane made by China.37．What can we know from the underlined sentence in Paragraph ①?A．China Eastern Airlines is the most popular.B．The C919 has worked well so far.C．The C919 has been used by many countries.D．There will be fewer orders for the C919. 38．Which of the following is probably missing in the ▲ ?A．It’s also stopping China making better airplanes.B．It’s also stopping people thinking out more creative ideas.C．It’s also helping China to develop new technologies.D．It’s also helping people to develop healthier lifestyles.39．Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage?(①= Paragraph 1 ①= Paragraph 2 ①= Paragraph 3 ①= Paragraph 4 ①= Paragraph 5 ①=Paragraph 6 ①= Paragraph 7 ①=Paragraph 8)A．B．C．D．四、补全对话阅读下面对话，从方框内7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。

专四阅读详解 天才意味着不懈的努力
星期1 MondayGenius only means hard-working all one's life .天才只意味着终身不懈的努力。
Text AWe should have had her spayed right after Roberta gave her to us. But it was one of those things —we just didn’t get around to it. So one August afternoon, Peach gave birth to 14 puppies. The kids were thrilled, but it crossed my mind once or twice that I had no idea how we’d find good homes for so many adorable mutts.The kids and I had a blast with the pups, but as our lovely friends grew, the cleanup job on the backyard lawn increased as well. I usually ended up with the housework after the kids had left for school in morning, and after eight weeks the job was getting old. Besides, the time had come to start to get them settled into permanent homes.So one weekend the kids and I piled into the truck, puppies in the rear, yipping and playful biting each other’s ears and tails,and we headed for the local humane society. I didn’t think I had the patience to deal with all the phone calls a newspaper ad would bring.But in northern California at that time, shelters were full of animals, and if they weren’t adopted quickly they wer e put to sleep. I tried stifling that bit of information, but it wouldn’t stay submerged; I cried the whole way.When we arrived at the shelter, I dried my tears and smoothed my puffy eyes. I walked alone (the kids were not cooperating) up to the counter and cheerfully announced I had 14 wonderful puppies for them. The woman, without looking up from her paperwork, roared, “We don’t take puppies.” I cried all the way home, this time with the tears of relief.So I placed an ad for “free puppies” in the newspaper. I don’t think we got a single phone call. In the meantime, the kids and pups grew more inseparable. Only our two cats were allowed to spend the nights inside, but from the laughs and the look of the blankets in the morning, some pups had been overlooked at bedtime.The gate on our backyard fence opened onto the elementary school’s grass field. Every afternoon, scores of kids arrived to play soccer. The children loved it when their games were over, for then I would open the floodgate, releasing 14 roly-poly, tail-wagging puppies for them to play with. Surely a parent wouldn’t mind taking one or two home. The parents loved the puppies, too; but their disciplined ability to decline our offering amazed me.Certainly the great plan could not have been for us to keep all 14 puppies, even if they had been given perfect names. I desperately searched the heavens for a solution. The odd idea came to put another ad in the paper, this time asking $10 for each puppy.It worked. Placing a value on the mutts somehow had an effect. I made a deal with the kids:If we were sold out of the puppies, I would give them half the money. They could buy whatever they wanted. So when two weeks later all the puppies were gone, I had the kids to get their money jars out. They proudly carried their savings as I drove them to their favorite place — the toy store. Of course, the dog pound might have seemed easier. But I liked this ending much better.1. At the beginning of the passage, the author implies that[A] he didn’t like dogs.[B] he couldn’t afford to have a dog.[C] he regretted not refusing to take Peach.[D] he regretted not having had Peach spayed.2. After eight weeks the author thought the cleanup job on the backyard lawn was[A] difficult. [B] time-consuming.[C] boring. [D] too easy.3. According to the passage, if a dog in the shelter wasn’t taken by someone, it would[A] be sold out. [B] be killed.[C] be dumped. [D] be put out.4. When the author put an ad for “free puppies” in the newspaper, nobody called because[A] not all people noticed her ad.[B] people wouldn’t believe what the ad said.[C] people wouldn’t like to get puppies for free.[D] not all people liked puppies.5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] The author had two cats besides the dogs.[B] The author didn’t allow the pets to stay in the house at night.[C] The author put two ads in the newspaper to find homes for the puppies.[D] The author thought the ending was good for the puppies.Text BThe term “childhood diseases” denotes those diseases that characteristically occur during an age span that begins with the fetus(胎儿) and extends through adolescence. This is a period typified by change, both in the child himself and in his immediate environment. Changes in the child related to growth and development are so striking that it is almost as if the child were a series of distinct yet related individuals as he passes through infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Changes in the environment occur as the surroundings and contacts of a totally dependent infant become those of a progressively more independent child and adolescent. Health and disease during the period from conception to adolescence must be understood against this backdrop of changes.Although, for the most part, the diseases of childhood are similar to those of the adult, there are several important differences. For example, certain specific disorders, such as precocious puberty(早熟), are unique to children; Others, such as acute nephritis —inflammation of the kidney — are common in children and infrequent in adults. At the same time, some diseases that are common in adults are infrequent in children. These include essential hypertension (high blood pressure of unknown cause) and gout. Finally, a major segment of pediatric care(儿科护理) concerns the treatment and prevention of congenital anomalies, both functional and structural.Apart from variations in disease due to differences between children and adults, certain otherfeatures of diseases in children need to be emphasized. Infectious disorders are prevalent and remain a leading cause of death, although individual illnesses are often mild and of minor consequence. Most instances of the common communicable diseases, such as measles, chicken pox, and mumps, are encountered in childhood. Disorders of nutrition, still of great concern, especially but not exclusively in developing countries, are of extreme importance to the growing and developing child. The unique nutritional requirements of children make them unusually liable to deficiency states: vitamin-D deficiency causes rickets, a common disorder of children in developing countries, and only rarely causes any disease in adults. The major environmental hazards that endanger the health of young children are either unavoidable, as in air pollution, or accidental, as in poisoning and in traffic injuries. Older children, especially adolescents, are exposed, as are adults, to environmental hazards that they deliberately seek, such as cigarette smoking and the use of alcohol and other drugs.6. Childhood diseases are[A] generally caused by the change of the child himself.[B] caused primarily by the change of the child’s immediate environment.[C] associated with the changes related to the child’s growth and development.[D] characterized by a series of distinct yet related stages.7. Adults may suffer all the following diseases EXCEPT[A] gout. [B] hypertension. [C] precocious puberty. [D] acute nephritis.8. Which of the following is NOT true?[A] Childhood diseases are often mild and of minor consequence.[B] Infectious diseases are still the major cause to children’s death.[C] Children’s unique nutritional needs make them reliable to deficiency states[D] Some children even intentionally pursue particular environmental hazards.9. The last paragraph is mainly about[A] variations in childhood diseases.[B] some remarkable features of childhood diseases.[C] prevalent infectious disorders in children.[D] important differences between childhood diseases and adult diseases.Text CElizabethⅠhas been dead for more than 400 years, and Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded 16 years earlier in 1587. Yet today’s women still identify with these two powerful queens.Elizabeth is frequently mentioned in opinion polls about great leaders, and many successful women have been inspired by her. Meanwhile, Elizabeth’s self-willed cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, also has legions of fans. She is often cited as the ultimate romantic heroine who followed her heart and was undone by love.Elizabeth and Mary were celebrity queens in their own lifetimes, and part of their enduring fascination is that they embody the female dilemma we all share — whether we should follow our head (Elizabeth) or our heart (Mary). Even today, we feel we have to choose between the two as it often seems impossible to reconcile demanding work and duty to others with expressing our needs for love and personal fulfillment.Elizabeth and Mary’s lives as queens were rich, complex and dangerous, and the prize that divided them was nothing less than the English crown itself. Yet their opposing responses to loveand loss, rivalry and danger, hope and frustration of desire still strike a chord with 21st-century women.Elizabeth was an intellectual and pragmatist(实用主义者)who was largely in control of her emotions, while Mary, a courageous woman of action, was a reckless romantic who followed her heart. Elizabeth made personal sacrifices in order to be a great queen and effective ruler. She never married, but often spoke about being “mother and wife” of her people. Mary, on the other han d, married Bothwell against all advice and faced the subsequent wreckage of her reign.Mary was a reckless romantic but was by no means a fool. She was an intelligent, respected ruler, but her failing was her lack of insight into the consequences of her actions. Her rashness left her vulnerable and eventually led to her downfall. On the contrary, Elizabeth was far more politically adept and knew how to play the game. Mary’s primary concern was her own immediate desire.Of course, it is possible that there’s a bit of both Mary and Elizabeth in every woman. Similarly, the queens public images were not always so clear-cut. Until the scandal following her second husband’s murder, Mary was considered the “good” queen, the woman who had done what was expected of her by marrying and producing a son. Elizabeth was generally considered wanton(放荡的人), with her bold flirtation(调情)with Lord Dudley, her refusal to marry and her resistance to being managed by the men who surrounded her. Mary, though the tragedy of her deat h, became a Catholic martyr, while Elizabeth, leading her people against Spain’s great Armada, became England’s greatest queen.Just as Mary and Elizabeth’s public images could be overturned by a murder and a marriage, or an execution and a naval victory, so we can be deceived about ourselves and others.10. T oday’s women still identify with Elizabeth and Mary because[A] they were intelligent and powerful queens.[B] they were great and successful leaders.[C] they embodied the female dilemma all women share.[D] they successfully reconciled duty to others with personal fulfillment.11. It is that turned these two queens against each other.[A] their totally different personalities[B] their opposing political opinions[C] the fight for the English crown[D] the preference of English people12. What was Mary’s weakness?[A] Her arrogance.[B] Her foolishness.[C] Her lack of insight.[D] Her flirtation.13. “There’s a bit of both Mary and Elizabeth …” in paragraph 7 means[A] every woman likes both Mary and Elizabeth.[B] every woman has the desire to be Mary or Elizabeth.[C] every woman have the traits of both Mary and Elizabeth.[D] every woman may become a Mary or an Elizabeth.14. What’s the major difference between Mary and Elizabeth?[A] Their personal traits.[B] Their love stories.[C] Their life styles.[D] Their political ideas.15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Mary had little control over her emotions.[B] Mary was less proficient in politics than Elizabeth.[C] Elizabeth sacrificed to be a great “mother and wife” of her people.[D] Elizabeth was a perfect queen who could withstand criticizes.Text DA dispute over proposed commercial development at the foot of Mount Hopkins in southern Arizona threatens to end years of peaceful coexistence between astronomers and land developers in the state.Astronomers have opposed the project, fearing that light pollution will degrade viewing conditions at the Whipple Observatory, the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) and other facilities in the mountain.Fairfield Homes, a developer based in Green Valley, Arizona, wants to expand plans for low-density housing to include commercial development. It has threatened astronomers with a lawsuit if they continue to speak out against the project. Fairfield’s application for commercial development on the 5,200 acre Canoa Ranch site 20 miles south of Tucson was scheduled to go before a local board of supervisors at a public hearing this week.In a letter sent two days before Christmas, Frank Cassidy, an attorney for Fairfield, accused astronomers from the Whipple Observatory and other institutions of lobbying against the project “under the guise of providing scientific information”.Cassidy claimed that, because the Smithsonian Institution observatories are publicly owned, interfering with Fairfield’s $900 million development could amount to a government “taking” of private property, for which opponents of the project would be liable.Cassidy’s letter threatened the inst itutions as well as individuals — including Robert Firshner of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and MMT observatory director Craig Foltz with “appropriate legal action” unless they stopped their “lobbying” against the Canoa Ranoa Ranch application. His estimates were in some cases six to seven times higher than the developers, based on different assumptions about the types and amount of commercial lots that would produce.Frank Thomson, a planning consultant to Fairfield, says his client is s ensitive to astronomers’ worries, and is committed to producing no more light pollution than would result from the already approved plan for 1,200 homes. But Luginbuhl and other astronomers say verbal promise counts for little.The issue will undoubtedly come up later this year when a committee representing both astronomers and developers, cochaired by Don Davis of the Tucson Planetary Science Institute, takes up the matter of revised lighting codes for the Tucson area, which also have been revised several times since being established in 1972. Thomson says it is “unfortunate” that tensions have escalated over Canoa Ranch after more than 10 years of astronomers and developers working out their differences in a friendlier way. But astronomers were irritated by what Smithsonian attorney James Wilson called Cassidy’s “inappropriate attempt to intimidate,” and what a Tucsonnewspaper termed “Fairfield’s crude threat”.16. Astronomers are against the project because[A] the commercial development will destroy the environment of Mount Hopkins.[B] the land developers threaten to accuse them of opposing the project.[C] they can no longer coexistent with the land developers peacefully.[D] development on the Canoa Ranch site will affect their viewing conditions.17. In his letter, Frank Cassidy made it clear that[A] some astronomers had taken improper actions against their projects.[B] the state government attempted to take Fairfield Homes’ private property.[C] the opponents to their project would be punished by law.[D] some astronomers had threatened to interfering with Fairfield’s development.18. The astronomers from the Whipple Observatory thought that[A] Fairfield should change the plan to a noncommercial one.[B] Fairfield’s verbal promises could not guarant ee his future action.[C] Fairfield’s project would result in devastating air pollution.[D] Fairfield should expand his housing plans to other areas.19. Astronomers were annoyed by[A] the bitter dispute over Fairfield’s proposed commercial development.[B] the possible feature of pollution at the foot of Mount Hopkins.[C] Fairfield’s inappropriate attempt to threaten them.[D] the committee’s decision to revise lighting codes for the Tucson area.20. What’s the author’s attitude towards the dispute?[A] Indifferent. [B] Surprised.[C] Objective.

奇迹男孩英语原版书-回复Title: "Wonder": An Insight into the English Original VersionIntroduction"Wonder" is a heartwarming and thought-provoking novel written by R.J. Palacio. It is a story that explores the themes of acceptance, kindness, and the power of perspective. The book revolves around the life of a young boy named August Pullman, who was born with a rare facial difference, and his journey through the challenges of middle school. This article aims to delve into the English original version of "Wonder," discussing its key elements, characters, themes, and the impact it has on readers.1. Plot OverviewThe narrative of "Wonder" unfolds through multiple perspectives, primarily from August's viewpoint but also from those of his sister Via, his friends Jack and Summer, and other significant characters. The story begins with August's decision to attend Beecher Prep, a mainstream school, after being homeschooled due to his medical condition.Throughout the book, we witness August's struggles in adapting to the new environment, dealing with bullies, making friends, and overcoming his own insecurities. The plot gracefully navigates through various events, both big and small, that shape August's character and influence the people around him.2. Character AnalysisAugust Pullman, the protagonist, is a charming and intelligent boy with a congenital facial difference called Treacher Collins syndrome. Despite his physical appearance, August possesses an endearing personality, a sharp wit, and an unwavering spirit. His journey is not just about surviving middle school but also about learning to accept himself and teaching others to do the same.Via, August's older sister, plays a crucial role in the story. She is a supportive and understanding sibling who faces her own challenges in adjusting to her brother's needs and finding her place in the world. Via's perspective offers a unique insight into the impact of having a sibling with a rare condition.Jack Will and Summer Dawson are August's friends at Beecher Prep. Their characters represent different aspects of friendship – Jack's initial hesitance and eventual loyalty, and Summer's unconditional acceptance and kindness. Both characters undergo significant growth as they learn from August's experiences and develop a deeper understanding of empathy and compassion.3. Themes and Messages"Wonder" is rich in themes that resonate with readers of all ages. Some of the prominent themes include:- Acceptance: The book emphasizes the importance of accepting people for who they are, regardless of their appearance or differences. August's journey teaches us that true beauty lies within and that everyone deserves respect and kindness.- Kindness: "Wonder" highlights the power of kindness in transforming lives. Small acts of kindness, like a smile or a word of encouragement, can make a significant impact on someone's day and ultimately change their perception of the world.- Empathy: The novel encourages readers to put themselves in others' shoes and understand their struggles. Through the various perspectives presented in the book, we learn that everyone has their own battles to fight, and empathy is crucial for building strong relationships.- Courage: August's story showcases the courage it takes to face challenges, overcome fears, and embrace one's uniqueness. His resilience and determination inspire readers to be brave in the face of adversity.4. Impact on Readers"Wonder" has had a profound impact on readers worldwide since its publication in 2012. The book has been translated into numerous languages and adapted into a successful film, further spreading its message of acceptance and kindness.One of the most significant effects of "Wonder" is its ability to foster empathy and understanding among readers. By immersing themselves in August's world, readers gain insights into the experiences of individuals with facial differences and otherdisabilities. This increased awareness leads to more inclusive attitudes and behaviors in real-life situations.Furthermore, the novel has inspired numerous initiatives and campaigns aimed at promoting kindness and combating bullying in schools. The Choose Kind movement, for instance, encourages individuals to make a conscious effort to be kind to others, just as August's story teaches us.5. ConclusionIn conclusion, the English original version of "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio is a powerful and inspiring tale that captures the essence of acceptance, kindness, and empathy. Through its engaging plot, well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes, the book leaves a lasting impression on readers, encouraging them to view the world through a lens of compassion and understanding.By exploring the life of August Pullman and the people around him, "Wonder" reminds us that every individual has a story worth hearing and that our actions have the potential to create apositive impact on others. As we continue to navigate the complexities of life, this remarkable novel serves as a gentle reminder to choose kindness and celebrate the wonders of human diversity.。

She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried.Luckily, Da n’s large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all.“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons’ rooms.“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. Ther e is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother’s arms.“It was the penny that did it, madam,”he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny.

JUST A THOUGHT August 20, 2015
JUST A THOUGHTIs it possible to love people who do not like you? The answer is yes, but it is not easy!A funny thing happens when you decide to become the person God intended you to be. Some people are not going to like you. Many people go to great lengths to try to make people like them. It is not going to happen! The attempt to have 100% of the people like you has 100% failure rate. If you are prone to need approval from others as your way of shaping your identity, you will never know the real you that God has made.Go ahead and say it out loud: Self, Not Everyone Is Going To Like You!” Whew, you did it. You did not spontaneously combust. You are still you, even if someone doesn’t like you. Nicole Unice gives three ways to love people who do not like you.First, treat them like a person. It would be easy to turn against the person that does not like you. It would be easy to start talking about character issues, identity issues, life issues, and the perceived general ugliness of the person who does not like you. Jesus role modeled before us that we are not to allow hate or bitterness to dwell within us toward other individuals. We must also remember that the person is a real person with real feelings, hurts, and reasons why they act the way they do. Don’t turn on them. Do not answer crazy for crazy even as tempting as that would have been. This means do not call them out on Facebook or Twitter. Look for the best in them. Then pray that God will give you His love to override the hurt you may have experienced.Second, remember your why. When someone criticizes your work or your character, remember why you do what you do. What are your motives for your actions or work? Is it good? Is it motivated by love? Is it worth doing? Sometimes a little criticism can help us know what we actually care about as well as the things we do not care about. We are challenged to evaluate our motives. It is easy to deceive ourselves about the why if we do not examine our motives with rigorous honesty. Many times criticism helps us to stop and make sure we are doing what we are doing for the right reasons. Let constructive criticism serve as a self-examination, and let it work for good.Third, walk on. One of the worst time-wasting experiences in life is dwelling or ruminating on negativity. It would be easy to hand out or dwell on point two by remembering our why over and over, analyzing our words or actions over and over and over. But let us now discover the teaching of God’s Word in 1 Corinthians 4:3-4: “I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me…” Step two was about clearing our conscience while step three is about leaving it there. One of the greatest tests of character is the ability is to love someone even when they criticize or insult you. Do not permit anyone to make you less than who God has made you to be.Marianne Williamson stated this: “Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us…” As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.So, dear friend, shine on. Let the criticism purify your calling. Let the resistance you feel be a reminder that at the end of our lives, we will all be called to account for our own actions. Do not play small today. Do not let someone make you less than who God has made you to be! Be you, ALL OF YOU, unleashed and stretching into all God has made you to be!!!。

JUST A THOUGHT
As I reflect on our great nation and pray every day that God will continue to bless America, I have two questions. First, has America lost her moral compass? Second, has America lost her moral conscience?
Recently, a video showing the senior medical director of Planned Parenthood casually discussing the sale of organs from aborted babies is a moral challenge. It is a moral challenge thrown in the face of all Americans. The video reveals Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services for Planned Parenthood, discussing the intentional harvesting of organs and other tissues from babies aborted in Planned Parenthood clinics. While reaching with her fork for salad, Dr. Nucatola openly tells a group she believes to be medical researchers that there is a great demand for fetal livers, but “a lot of people want intact hearts these days.”
Dr. Nucatola went on to explain in chilling detail that abortionists often plan in advance how to harvest desired organs, even telling the group that a “huddle” is sometimes held with clinic staff early in the day, so that targeted organs can be harvested from unborn babies. Her description gets more chilling as she describes how abortions are conducted specifically to harvest intact organs: “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part. I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.” She also described an abortion technique that appears to be partial-birth abortion. She further describes that the cost of organs and tissues harvested from aborted babies as ranging from $30 to $100.
The sale of human tissue is illegal in the United States. It is also illegal to arrange an abortion if the cause of the abortion is the procurement of organs or tissue. Do we have a culture of death in the United States? It is absurd to know that our government supports Planned Parenthood with almost a half a billion dollars annually.
Another circumstance is the killing of the lion in Africa. It was tragic. I am not in favor of the cruel treatment of animals. But I have heard more about the lion than the atrocious activities of Planned Parenthood. I believe that life starts at conception. I believe that every conceived child deserves the right to live as God has given you and me. Every conceived child is important and precious to God.
Another circumstance is gambling. It has reared its ugly head again. I get amazed how prominent personalities gets succored in. The gambling industry never tells how many losers there has to be before there can be winners. Dr. Joe Godfrey, Director of ALCAP, was correct in his interview with ABC 33/40 when he said that government that supports gambling becomes an accessory to the degradation and fragmentation of the family. Gov. Bentley was correct when he alluded to the fact that government who advocates gambling only becomes a corrupted government.May our elected leaders never be afraid of doing what is godly, holy, and right.
What is the response of the church? As a church we cannot afford to be silent regardless how many people try to silence the church. Our response is not hate speech. It is spiritual truth that is taught in God’s Word, the Bible, and it is moral truth.
In an article titled “The Freakishness of Christianity” (August 4, 2015), the author stated that the “assumption that evangelicals own American culture and politics has ended.” May the church never relinquish its God-given purpose. We are seeing the results of a nation who forgets its God.
As the people of God, “we shall know the truth and the truth will set us free” (John 8:32).。
