阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题（清注意问题后词数要求)。
Have you ever been hurt by words before? I know I have. Words can hurt as much as a hit in the nose or stomach. The words others speak can lower your self-esteem (自尊), but they can also make you feel proud or exited.
One time, as I was playing with my fried and my brother, my brother told an embarrassing secret about me to my friend. I was afraid of what my friend would think! But, instead of laughing at me, she told me that sometimes she did it too. Instead of bringing me down she kept my secret. I"ve never forgotten how she defended me.
When you laugh at people, they feel bad. When you say 'you only got 5120 on the math test', that"s embarrassing. Words can be used to make you into a bully or make you a friend. You don"t know the effect you can have on people with your words.
Our family did an experiment with rice inspired by Dr. Maseru Emoto"s rice experiment. My mom cooked up some white rice and divided it into two glass jars. One of the jars of rice had a mark with the word 'hate' on it; the other was marked 'love'_ We also 'talked' to the jars every day (I know it sounds strange but it"s true). We told the 'hate' jar expressions like 'I hate you', 'you"re so stupid', etc... To the 'love' jar we said words like 'you"re so pretty". After a week the 'love' jar looked like it had barely come out of the pot. The 'hate' jar looked like it had moldy cobwebs (发霉的蜘蛛网) inside of it. Now it has been four weeks since we started. The rice in the 'hate' jar is sticking to the bottom like soup. The rice in the 'love" jar looks fresh. Even my sisters, who can"t read, can tell :he difference!
People act just like the rice in their own ways. They can either grow, be proud of themselves, and grow well or they can wither (枯萎) inside. As Dr. Emoto says, 'Don"t undervalue the power of thoughts. They have the ability to change the world.'
56. What are the main functions of words according to the text? (no more than 8 words)
57. How would the author feel if her friend laughed at her when she knew her secret? (no more than 4 words)
58. What did they do :o the jar marked with the word 'love' in the experiment? (no more than 7 swords)
59. What did the rice in the 'love' jar look like one week from the start? (no more, than 5 words)
60. What word(s) can best describe thoughts according to :he last paragraph? (no more than 2 words)

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题（清注意问题后词数要求)。
Have you ever been hurt by words before? I know I have. Words can hurt as much as a hit in the nose or stomach. The words others speak can lower your self-esteem (自尊), but they can also make you feel proud or exited.
One time, as I was playing with my fried and my brother, my brother told an embarrassing secret about me to my friend. I was afraid of what my friend would think! But, instead of laughing at me, she told me that sometimes she did it too. Instead of bringing me down she kept my secret. I"ve never forgotten how she defended me.
When you laugh at people, they feel bad. When you say 'you only got 5120 on the math test', that"s embarrassing. Words can be used to make you into a bully or make you a friend. You don"t know the effect you can have on people with your words.
Our family did an experiment with rice inspired by Dr. Maseru Emoto"s rice experiment. My mom cooked up some white rice and divided it into two glass jars. One of the jars of rice had a mark with the word 'hate' on it; the other was marked 'love'_ We also 'talked' to the jars every day (I know it sounds strange but it"s true). We told the 'hate' jar expressions like 'I hate you', 'you"re so stupid', etc... To the 'love' jar we said words like 'you"re so pretty". After a week the 'love' jar looked like it had barely come out of the pot. The 'hate' jar looked like it had moldy cobwebs (发霉的蜘蛛网) inside of it. Now it has been four weeks since we started. The rice in the 'hate' jar is sticking to the bottom like soup. The rice in the 'love" jar looks fresh. Even my sisters, who can"t read, can tell :he difference!
People act just like the rice in their own ways. They can either grow, be proud of themselves, and grow well or they can wither (枯萎) inside. As Dr. Emoto says, 'Don"t undervalue the power of thoughts. They have the ability to change the world.'
