“Mum, I want to make you a bet,” I said. “If I go a whole year without TV, will you give me a hundred dollars?”
“Well, if you can 1 do it, …”
“Of course I can,” I replied, trying to convince 2 .
In fact, all this started from my 3 of a picture in the newspaper. I couldn’t bear to look at that boy. He said that he had 4 one year without TV for a hundred dollars, 5 me with mocking eyes. It seemed he was saying, “I did it, 6 you can’t!”. I glared at the boy’s face.
That year I did a lot of things. For example, my father taught me to 7 , which became my favorite sport. 8 winter afternoons snowball wars with my neighbors offered daily drama. I went on bike trips with my friends and swam as much as a fish.
It was unbelievable how much 9 I had without TV. I learned so many new games. I guess the 10 thing I learnt, though, was self-motivation(上进心).
I started to do my homework. I went from a D student to an A student within a couple of 11 .
I used to 12 reading if there were no 13 , but now I began to read and enjoy it. I could arrange off all the pictures just the way I wanted them—my own little TV, right 14 my head!
I’m surprised what I did. I got a lot more from the 15 than just the 100 dollars!

举一反三
During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us a test. I was a hardworking student and I did well in all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grades.
“Absolutely,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and to say hello.”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson of my life. I also learned the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.
小题1:How was the writer at the nursing school?
| A．She didn’t study hard. | B．She was one of the top students. |
| C．She loved telling jokes. | D．She often asked questions in class. |
| A．She had only a little hair. | B．She was not tall. |
| C．She looked young. | D．She always smiled. |
| A．She felt guilty. | B．She felt surprised. |
| C．She felt excited. | D．She felt comfortable. |
| A．The last question was a part of the quiz. |
| B．The students needn’t answer the last question. |
| C．Only one student didn’t know the answer. |
| D．None of the students knew the woman’s name. |
| A．You should pay attention to everyone around you. |
| B．You should work hard to get good grades in school. |
| C．You should be friends with the cleaning lady. |
| D．You should try to make as many friends as you can. |
One day, a man found the cocoon (茧) of a butterfly and he brought it home.
A few days later, the man saw a small hole in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it stopped.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a knife and cut a bigger hole in the cocoon. The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it had a weak body and small, thin wings. The butterfly didn’t start to fly.
In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The man acted with kindness but he didn’t understand that he had done something wrong. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon forces the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into wings. It helps the butterfly be ready to fly. If the butterfly never has to force itself out of the cocoon, its wings never get the fluid and it can never fly.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.
So, the next time you are faced with a challenge or a problem, remember the butterfly.
Struggle a little – then fly!
小题1:Why did the man cut a bigger hole in the cocoon?

| D．the man broke its wings |
| A．Kindness in our lives can help us grow. |
| B．Try to be ready to help others. |
| C．Without other’s help we can still succeed. |
| D．Hard work leads to success. |

| C．How To Help a Butterfly Fly | D．Kindness and Rush |
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 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, 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 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 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| A．Watering trees |
| B．Growing roots |
| C．Doctor and his neighbor |
| D．Father and his children |

You may know the song Happy Birthday very well. But do you know who wrote this song and for whom it was written?
Let me tell you a story.
About one hundred years ago, there was a girl in the USA. She loved children very much and wrote many songs for children. One of them was the song Good Morning To You. The song was very popular at that time among children, but not all grown-ups ( 成年人 ) knew it.
The girl was very poor. Once her friends invited her to a little child’s birthday party. She felt happy but sad because she had no money to buy a present for him. Finally she decided to sing the song Happy Birthday in the melody( 曲调 ) of Good Morning to You for the little boy.
When her friends heard the song at the party, they were very happy. “How wonderfully she is singing! We have not heard this song before. It’s a special present,” said someone. And they learned to sing it together.
Later, the song became very popular throughout the world. People like it because it’s simple and friendly.
小题1:The song Happy Birthday is a song from America.
小题2:Happy Birthday is an old song. Nobody knows who wrote the song Happy Birthday.
小题3:The girl knew the song would be popular before she came to the party.
