I bought a jasmine（茉莉花）plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom（开花）and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.
In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.
Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man isn’t useful to himself and to others. If one is too lazy to work ,he will probably beg (乞讨) or steal (偷).So every boy, when he is young, should learn some useful work.
But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put all his heart into his work, and not waste his free time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is important for young people as for the old.
The habit of getting up early is helpful to diligence(勤奋), and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed(形成) when one is young. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and make use of (利用）his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed(成功) in life and become useful to one’s country. So we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
小题1:After reading the passage we know that those who are too lazy to work will become______.| A．beggars | B．thieves(小偷) | C．beggars or thieves | D．useful men |

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn`t mean more happiness.
If money were everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true .But can love be bought ?I`m afraid not . Love means to give , not to take . To every person , health and long life are probably the most precious things . Well , can health and a long life be bought with money ? The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
