A teacher teaching math to seven-year-old  Laiq asked him, “If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple , how many apples will you have?”
With a few seconds Laiq          confidently, “Four!”
The confused teacher was expecting a(n)         correct answer, three. She was disappointed. “Maybe the child didn’t hear       ” she thought. She          , “Laiq, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?”
Laiq had seen the        on his teacher’s face. He         again on his fingers. But within him he was also   the answer that would make the teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, “Four.”
The disappointment stayed on the teacher’s face. Suddenly she        that Laiq liked strawberries. She thought maybe he didn’t like apples and that was why he couldn’t answer the question. This time with an excitement in her     she asked, “If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many will you have?”
Seeing the teacher        , young Laiq calculated on his fingers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new        to succeed.      a hesitating smile young Laiq replied, “Three?”
The teacher now had a       smile. Her approach had succeeded. She wanted to        herself. But one last thing remained.       she asked him, “Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple , how many will you have ?”
Confidently Laiq answered, ‘Four!” The teacher was        “How Laik , how?” She demanded in a little annoyed voice.
In a voice that was        and hesitating young Laik replied, “Because I already have one       in my bag.”
The story tells us:     someone gives you an answer that is        from what you expect, don’t think they are wrong. There shall be an angle(角度) that you may not have thought about yet.

举一反三
A man who failed to return more than 700 children’s books to five different libraries in the county was put into prison. Yesterday he was set free after a book publisher agreed to post his bond (担保金) of $1,000. The publisher said, “There’s a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can’t let go of them. He hasn’t stolen a single book. So what’s the crime? We think that Mr. Brush has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story.”
When asked why he didn’t return the books, Mr. Brush said, “Well, how could I? They became family to me. I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.”
He continued, “Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them with a soft clean cloth. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air.
“Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they’re all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now.”

“Tell me again how you learned to ride a horse,” I would ask my father when I was a little girl in Denmark. I was no more than four years old—too little to learn to ride a horse by myself. But I liked to hear my father tell his story. And then he would begin.
“When I was a little boy, as little as you are now,” he would say, “I wanted to ride the horses. But I was too small to mount a horse. So I would slip into my father’s stables to be with the horses and admire them. Such big, powerful animals they were!
“The gentle workhorses stood quietly in their stalls, eating their hay. I would climb up the side of one of the stalls and slide over onto the horse’s back.
“Then I would hold its mane and imagine us running quickly over the grasslands, down to the shore, and even into the sea.
“When I grew tall enough to mount a horse,” he said, “my wish came true.”
“You swim with the horses now,” I said. “You even swim with Fiery. And he has spirit!”
Everybody knew about Fiery, the great black male horse with the fierce temper, and how he behaved when he first came to the stables. He raised itself on its back legs with the front legs in the air. He snorted and kicked. He rolled his eyes. And everyone was afraid of him. Everyone, except my father.
I wanted to hear more. “Now tell me how you made Fiery your friend,” I begged. This was my favorite story.
“Well, little Else,” my father went on, “I just talked to him. I talked as a friend. You must talk to a horse like Fiery.
“I’d say, ‘No, little horse. No, my friend. You can’t run free. You must learn to let me ride you.’
“And soon Fiery began to listen. He knew from my voice that I would be his friend.”
So Fiery let my father teach him to carry a rider. Then Fiery would take my father across the soft green grasslands or even into the lively waters of the northern sea. I loved to see Father riding Fiery without a saddle(马鞍) into the sea. There they swam, Father and Fiery, out in the cold, clear water.
Often I would watch them from the shore, holding tight to my mother’s hand. They swam so bravely. I was so proud of them!
Then Father and Fiery would come splashing out of the water and run along the shore toward us. They made a fine stop—just in time!
Fiery towered over us. He tossed his head and shook sea water from his shining black coat.
Father was laughing and patting Fiery’s neck.
And I was making a wish.
I wished that someday I could have a horse, too . . . but a smaller one!
小题1:What is Fiery like when he first comes to the stables?
A.He is quiet and lazy.
B.He is wild and full of spirit.
C.He makes friends with everyone.
D.He only lets Else’s father ride him.
小题2:Where does Else most like to watch her father ride Fiery?
A.At the seashore.B.On the farm.
C.In the grasslands.D.In the stables.
小题3:In the passage, the underlined word “mount” means___________.
A.feed withB.talk aboutC.fasten toD.climb onto
小题4:How does Else feel about horses after watching her father ride Fiery?
A.She wants a horse just like Fiery.
B.She has no interest in riding horses.
C.She would like to have a smaller horse.
D.She thinks horses should not go into the sea.
小题5:What does Else learn from her father’s story?
A.How to train a workhorse.
B.How to swim with a horse.
C.How to make friends with a horse.
D.How to ride a horse without a saddle.

A house of cards? Sounds unbelievable, doesn’t it? Not if the architect is 31-year-old Bryan Berg. He’s made a career out of building fantastic card houses, stadiums, capitols, castles — and the world’s tallest card tower. How does he do it?
Bryan’s structures are amazing because they are made entirely of perfectly balanced, freestanding playing cards. He never uses glue, tape, or anything else to hold the cards together. Nor does he fold the cards. He’s discovered another way to make a strong house of cards, using a trick from nature.
To make plants strong, nature builds them with cells that have tough walls. Rows and rows of these cells form a grid(格子) that helps leaves and stems keep their shape. Bees use the same kind of repeating pattern to create strong honeycombs, where they live and store honey. Bryan designs similar grids, using cards to create a repeating pattern of cells.
He begins with a single cell made by balancing four cards against one another to form a box. Then he repeats the cell over and over, expanding outward to form the grid, which makes a good foundation for a strong card structure. The larger the grid, the more weight it can carry. Sometimes Bryan uses several cards, instead of just one, to construct the cell walls, making the grid even stronger. The trick, he tells kids when he speaks in classrooms, is to place your cards as tightly together as possible when laying out your grid, making sure the cards are not leaning at all.
After building this solid base, Bryan lays cards across the top to make the floor for the next “story” of the building. He may add towers, columns, steeples, or domes. Using the principle of repeating cells, Bryan builds structures of amazing strength.
In the Cards
Not surprisingly, Bryan has always been interested in building things. Growing up on a “big, old farm” in rural Iowa, he had plenty of room to play. “We were in the middle of nowhere,” Bryan remembers, “with lots of space to do whatever we wanted. I was always making something, using things like sticks or bales of hay.”
Bryan’s grandfather taught him how to stack cards. Bryan’s two interests — building and card stacking — soon combined. But stacking in his family’s farmhouse was challenging. “Our old house had wood floors that weren’t all level,” he reports. “And they weren’t very firm. When people walked around, it was like ‘earthquake action.’ It was a challenge to build something that wouldn’t fall down immediately.”
Bryan constructed tower after tower; he went through a lot of trial and error before he built anything taller than himself. When he placed a few decks of cards on top of his grid, he discovered how strong it was. Bryan’s towers began to grow taller.
How Tall Is Too Tall?
Bryan’s first Guinness World Record for the world’s tallest card tower came in the spring of 1992, when he was in high school. Learning that the world record was 12 feet 10 inches, Bryan built a slim tower that topped out at 14 feet 6 inches. Done as a project for his geometry class, it took him 40 hours and 208 decks of cards. Since then he’s gone on to win world records for even taller buildings. His latest winner measured 25 feet 3.5 inches and used about 2,400 decks of cards. The building, which tapered to a high, narrow point, had 131 stories.
Why don’t these towers fall down? The key is in a good solid base, a repeating pattern of stories, and a tapering top. Bryan likes to point out how card buildings resemble real ones. They are built cell by cell, story by story. The separate parts make one strong whole. The heavier the building, the stronger and more stable it is. But the weight can’t all be at the top.
After spending so much time building something so cool, Bryan admits it’s sometimes painful to see his structures destroyed. But he compares his work to the building of a sandcastle or an ice sculpture.
“They wouldn’t be as special if they were permanent,” he points out. “My buildings are like snowdrifts, or clouds in the sky. They can’t last forever.
小题1:According to the article, which natural structure is a model for Bryan’s card structures?
A.A sand dune.B.A honeycomb.
C.A snowdrift.D.A thundercloud.
小题2:What was Bryan’s first world record?
A.The tallest card tower.B.The widest card dome.
C.The heaviest card house.D.The sturdiest card structure.
小题3:Bryan’s hobby is the result of combining which two boyhood interests?
A.Plant cells and honeycombs.
B.World records and geometry.
C.Building things and stacking cards.
D.Playing cards and designing houses.
小题4:Why was it a challenge for Bryan to build card structures in his family’s farmhouse?
A.The floors of the house were uneven.
B.The ceilings in the house were too low.
C.The floors of the house were slippery.
D.The windows in the house were windy.
小题5:In the underlined sentence, the word “tapered” means the top of the building was_________.
A.olderB.shinierC.strongerD.thinner

My three-year-old granddaughter, Tegan, went with her parents to a family gathering at the home of her other grandparents. Everyone was having a wonderful time visiting and catching up on all the latest family news.
Like most children, Tegan was having a good time playing with all the toys that were different from her own and that were kept for children to play with at her grandparents’ house. In particular, Tegan had found a little tea set and had begun pretending that she was having a tea party. She set up all the place settings and arranged her table with the great care and elegance that only a three-year-old can create. Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea". Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan. He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.
After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is she getting this ‘tea’ that I"ve been dutifully drinking?" He quietly followed her, without her knowing, and his fears were growing stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door. Sure enough, there she was stretching up on her tippy toes reaching up to get her ‘tea’ water -- out of the container of water that grandpa used to soak his false teeth!

Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so       ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball       , Chuck Hart.         Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous      , he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn"t thinking about Hart" s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s       on the side of the box. The first indication that something was       came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was       for his amazing work in the community.
Travis’s hands       ; his heart stopped. It wasn"t that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be       by the other players. When he looked up into his dad" s eyes, however, Travis decided he      not tell him. ""Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes," Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they       in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Travis, wait a minute, look…” his dad said       ,“Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)      . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I       . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in      ?”
“No,” Travis said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)       when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,       you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good       , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes       . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful       .
