I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘). Then he gave her some _________, “Don’t treat her any _________ from the other girls. Demand more.” And she did!
My mother had to work to _________ my family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the _________, “Mom, I can’t peel(削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n) _________for anything again!” Of course I could peel potatoes—with my good hand, while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a way, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard _________,” she said, “you can do anything.” Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars(攀爬架). When it was my turn, I _________ my head. Some kids laughed. I went home crying. After work the next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by_________ I practiced, and she praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget the next time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I _________ I can’t handle things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to _________ anything. And she taught me I could, too.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn"t look like any doctor I"d ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person. When Dr. Gibbs wasn"t saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest. The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled(毁坏) them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅的) roots(根), and how trees that weren"t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. He"d planted an oak(橡树)and instead of watering it every morning, he"d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree"s attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They"re very big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I"ve been thinking that it"s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There"s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won"t be beaten down.
小题1: We know from the passage, the doctor______. | A．didn"t know how to plant trees at all | | B．wasn"t good at his own medical job | | C．had his own ways of planting trees | | D．had nothing to do but plant trees |
小题2: When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early on.", he meant that______. | A．some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning | | B．he would choose the weak trees to water earlier | | C．the weak trees would be sent to his patients later | | D．he would not plant weak trees so early anymore |
小题3: The passage tells us that the writer______. | A．should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper | | B．didn"t often water his trees | | C．didn"t have a large field | | D．took too much care of his trees |
小题4:The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that______. | A．his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs" | | B．his trees will not be beaten down | | C．his sons will be better at planting trees | | D．his sons will be able to face difficulties |
小题5:Which can be the best title of the reading? | A．Watering Trees | B．Growing Roots | | C．Doctor and his Neighbor | D．Father and his Children |

There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn"t have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is because they can"t grow much the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.
So he and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is ; it"s like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His __ watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became . As he coughed terribly , he up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You"re crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can"t eat so many; they"re not good for you! People use them a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can"t just eat them by the handful like that; they"re not !" So the silly master said, "No, I can"t stop! I paid money for them, now I"ll eat them. It"s my !"
And you think that master was silly, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. we still continue just because we"ve money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn"t stop because he didn"t want to waste the money he"d paid.
