Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the top. Along
the way, he can stop and look around. And the h he climbs, the more wonderful his view (视野)
is. If he k climbing, he will have a new world b him. He will have a new way of
s everything.
Now learning another language is s like climbing a mountain. This new language can give
you a new view of l . And it is more than a look at the surface of things. It can open the way
into people"s minds and h , into a culture very d from the one of your own. This will
make you richer, richer in things that money can"t buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a
plane, you can be an armchair tourist through books.
Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to e the scenery around him, everyone
who is interested in reading will find pleasure in b as he fights on to learn more and more of
that new language. |

In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In 1 way, failure may be a way towards success.
The "Spider-story" is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a
cave from the English. He watched a spider making a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place
in the rock. He tried six times. On the 2 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said
to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light
bulb, made hundreds of models that failed 3 he found the correct way to make one. Once he was asked
4 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, "Failure? I
have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways that won"t work."
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it？Were conditions OK? Were you in top
from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 5 next time.
Second, is the goal you"re trying to reach a proper one? Try to do some 6 about what your real goals
may be. Think about this question. "If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent
failure in things you shouldn"t be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in ears about failure is that it"s a part of life. Learn to live with yourself even though
you may have 7 . |

Have you ever heard of the saying," If you want a friend, be one." What does it mean? There are
many different things that you can do to make friends. You may find out what they are if you watch
someone make friends.
Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of the
school. When the bell rang, the teacher smiled at all the students. Then she said, "Good morning.
How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year! I want to know each of you very much. I am
sure we will enjoy working together."
The teacher smiled, used a pleasant voice, and acted in a friendly way. She told the students her
name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them something she liked to do and hoped to do
with them during the year. The students knew that she liked many of the things they liked. Everyone
felt that she meant what she said. Each of them wanted to know her better and be her friend.
Then she let the students tell something about themselves. So they felt that the teacher knew them.
Could you make friends as the teacher did?
How do you get to know your classmates? One way is to find out more about them. During the
break you can talk to them. You may ask them their names and the names of the schools they went to
last year. They want to know about you, too. You may tell them about your interests or your holiday
experiences. It is often easy to be friends with whom people have the same interests and play the same
games. As you talk, the others may think, "I like to do the same things you do. It would be fun to be
friends with you."
Remember! Just talking together in a friendly way is one good way to make friends. |

What do you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as
singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all
different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on.
The trees feed the forest "People" by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and
minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying
out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the
farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks (售票员) to sell it
to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of
course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our
problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to
help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know,
being a volunteer is so great! |

A. the leaves of the trees

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it,
guide-book in hand. Of course, we may 1 with our guide-books the history and special developments
of a town and get to know them. 2 then, if we take our time and stay in a town for a while, we may
get to know it better. When we look at it as a whole, we begin to have some 3 , which even the best
guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 4 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its
streets 5 in this particular way, and not in any other way?
Here even the best guide-book fails us. One can"t find in it the information about how a town has
developed to the 6 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) design of a town. However,
one may get some ideas of what it 7 to look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine
8 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 9
to develop.
What is the point of studying towns in this way? For me, it is simply that one gets greater pleasure by
visiting and seeing a town with one"s own eyes. A personal visit to a town may help one better understand
why it is attractive 10 just reading about it in a guide-book. |

In today"s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it.
Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more
money doesn"t mean more happiness.
If money was everything, all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health
and a long life. However, this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are "I love you". 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 (宝贵的) 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 worshiped (崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate,
strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy
person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for. |
| 1. According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right? |
| [ ] |
A. Money is everything.
B. Money isn"t necessary.
C. Money is important, but not the most important.
D. With no money, with no success. |
| 2. What"s the most important thing for every person according to the writer"s ideas? |
| [ ] |
