Anyone interested in easy ways to make a positive impact on their communities needs to lookno further than 12-year-old Danykah: Muck, a Michigan middle-schooler whose simple learning project is an inspiration to positive thinkers of any age. It all started with her way to school every school day. Every morning she would greet an old man in her neighborhood, who she still doesn't know his name, smiling or even simply offering a friendly word “hello”. And he would always nodand smile back. “It seems to considerably change the emotional energy around me in the community.”She noticed this in both directions, “That simple act can both change our entire day with how they greet me.”
Last spring, Muck brought an idea to her teachers. She provided them with a pile of sticky
notes she had filled with brief-sometimes one-word-positive messages. She then asked the teachers to place the notes on students' desks before they arrived at school the next day. She also gave pre-filled sticky notes to the lunch staff and to school administrators including the principal. The idea was to make it easy for teachers, staff and students to regularly encounter reminders that they matter and are valued. “You are enough just being you,” reads one favorite note. Muck's idea could be just the thing in an office, an assisted living facility or even at home for asmall family.
“Low-cost” positive interactions, like a friendly word offered to the postal worker or coffee shop servant, are shown by psychology researchers to build sympathy and abate loneliness. Ananonymous note sent into someone's inbox or stuck to their front door is perhaps the lowest-costconnection there is, with potential benefits beyond our imagination. Sometimes the small estencouragements have the biggest impact. What would you say on a sticky note to share with someone in your community?

A. Middle-schoolers are friendly to the elderly   
B. A simple act of kindness makes a difference.
    C. A community can be easily shaped by interest.   
D. Learning projects can inspire positive thinkers.
5. How did Muck help people in her school?
A. By writing thank-you letters.    B. By means of sticking notices.
    C. By talking with school leaders    D. By writing encouraging words.
6. What does the underlined word “abate” probably mean?
A.Measure.    B.Monitor.      C.Ease.      D.Stand.
7. The best title for the text is probably
    A. What a friendly word means to a stranger  B. Never be bothered by negative thoughts
    C. Brighten the community with positivity    D. How to build a harmonious community
Creaction to a book or an article
One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone (无人机) into a remote-controlled pollinator (授粉媒介) by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel to its underbelly.
