 One day a lonely girl found two weak birds while she was walking in the woods (树林). She took them home and put them in a small cage. She fed them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a beautiful song. The girl loved them very much and wanted their singing to last forever. One day the girl left the cage"s door open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew out of the cage. The girl watched worriedly as it circled (盘旋) high above her. She was afraid that it would fly away and she would never see it again. So when it flew close, she grasped (抓) at it wildly. She was very happy that she held it tightly within her hand! Suddenly, she felt something had happened to the bird. She opened her hand and was surprised to find the bird was dead. Her love for the bird killed it. She noticed the other bird jumping in the cage. She could feel that it wanted to be free. It hoped to fly into the clear, blue sky. She lifted (举起) it from the cage and flew it into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times… When the bird was flying happily in the sky, she was so glad. Just then the bird flew closer and sat softly on her shoulder.

| If you"re into sports, you"ve seen it happen-tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match; football players exchange jerseys (运动衣) after ninety minutes of knocking each other around; even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event, from spelling bees to golf (高尔夫球), act in this way. It"s all part of sportsmanship (体育精神), a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match. Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years, you might see some players celebrate a goal (进球) with a long victory dance or talk big about their ability. However, it"s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It"s the golden rule of sports. Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules, talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. At the school sports meeting, for example, it"s more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition-as in life-you may not always win, but believe me, sportsmanship will help you get through, and there is always the next match. |

| A. Tennis. B. Football. C. Golf. D. Spelling. |
| 2. The underlined word "bees" in the passage means ________. |

| 3. Why do you think good sportsmanship is really important? |
| A. It"s all part of sports. B. It"s all part of celebration. C. It"s the golden rule of sports. D. It"s how to stay cool. |
| 4. Winning the game will make it possible for players to ________. |
| A. celebrate a goal. B. exchange jerseys. C. shake hands. D. feel great. |

| Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. They was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading. After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. "I wonder why that woman doesn"t wash her window. It really looks terrible." One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean! Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?" I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly. |

| A friend of mine asked me the question, "Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?" Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isn"t fair. It"s a bummer, but it"s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It"s not and it won"t. One of the nice things about surrendering (承认) to the fact that life isn"t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it"s not "life"s job" to make everything perfect it"s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has his own strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel cheated or unfairly treated. The fact that life isn"t fair doesn"t mean we shouldn"t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. Instead, it suggests that we should. When we don"t recognize or admit that life isn"t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity is a self-defeating (自我挫败的) emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn"t fair, however, we feel compassion (同情) for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heatfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the unfair world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can push you out of self-pity and into helpful action. |

| A. We cannot just feel sorry, but take actions. B. We may feel worse when we realize the unfaimess. C. Life will become fair someday through our great efforLs. D. Pity is a self-defeating emotion delivering loving-kindness. |
| 3. The best title for the passage is___. |
| A. Push You out of Self-pity B. Face the Problems in Your Life C. Encourage Yourself to Do the Best D. Surrender to the Fact that Life Isn"t Fair |
