【解题导语】 作者由儿时偷拿别人玩具的经历认识到尊重自己的重要性；于是，作者教女儿要尊重自己、尊重他人。
1．A.funnier C．safer

2．A.important C．fragile

B．experience D．expectation
A 解析：根据本文第一句中的“understanding”可知，进入中年以后，“我”发现“我”对世界的看法(view)又重归简单。
5

玩具了。

One possible version： Dear__Lisa，
I’m delighted to know you are going to take part in a Chinese poetry reciting contest. The fact that you are so interested in Chinese culture makes me happy. Now I’d like to offer you some practical advice.
You should have a thorough understanding of what you are going to read. Only by doing this can you appreciate its beauty. Moreover, correct your pronunciation by listening to Chinese radio programs because all the announcers speak standard Chinese. What’s more, it is a good idea to make some Chinese friends and communicate with them as often as possible, which can improve your spoken Chinese.
Wish you good luck and success.
Yours， Li__Hua
