If you knew you had only three years left to live, how would you use your time?
题型：不详难度：来源：
If you knew you had only three years left to live, how would you use your time? It’s a hard question and few of us would even like to think about it. But 18-year-old Huang Ge has to answer this question and he says, “I want to thank the people who have helped me.”
At the age of one, Huang’s mother left the family. Six years later, he was badly ill. He has been using a wheelchair（轮椅）since 9 years old. Doctors said he would only live to be 18.
After Huang’s story went on TV, hundreds of Chinese sent money to help him. The boy was so moved （感动）that he decided to thank everyone of them. But it is not an easy job, because Huang was too sick even to drive a mosquito(蚊子) away from his leg. Huang has to be tied（系）to his wheelchair to stop him from falling out. And the family can only afford a three-wheeled motorcycle(三轮摩托). Since 2003, the father and son have traveled 14,000 kilometers to 10 provinces, and thanked more than 30 helpers.
“I am moved by the story of this boy. We need the courage(勇气) to face death, and we should also feel the thankfulness for those who help us,” reads an online article on CCTV，com.

举一反三
Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will jump back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
小题1:The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is special.| A．be afraid of difficulties | | B．be afraid to learn | | C．run through life so fast | | D．compare yourself with others to look down on your worth |
小题2:The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.” means that_____.| A．Nothing is possible | | B．If we don’t give up, there is always hope | | C．You should learn to give up | | D．Although you try, nothing will change. |
小题3:Why can’t we use time carelessly? ___________| A．Because time is too expensive | | B．Because time never returns. | | C．Because we are too poor | | D．Because times will get back. |
小题4:According to the passage, which is the best title? ___________| A．Nothing is impossible. | | B．Glass balls are easy to be broken. | | C．Things you can’t do. | | D．Treat your life in a right way. |
