There is an old story about an army of frogs that went jumping through the forest one day when two of them suddenly fell into a deep 1 . All of the other frogs gathered around to look 2 at their two fallen friends. They all began to 3 shake their heads and croak out warnings. “It’s too deep!”said one frog. Another said that there was no 4 they would ever be able to get out 5 .
The two fallen frogs began to continuously jump as they 6 to get out, but the frogs that were 7 kept croaking louder at them that they might as well stop 8 they were as good as dead and just 9 their time. One of the two frogs finally gave up, 10 their advice and died.
The other frog just kept on jumping harder than ever 11 all the loud croaks of disapproval from the frogs around the top of the hole. They kept croaking at him to 12 jumping and save himself from all the 13 and suffering as he jumped and fell back down to the bottom 14 .
Finally, to the 15 of all the other frogs, he jumped right out of the deep hole. The other frogs asked him, “Why did you keep jumping 16 we yelled and croaked at you to stop?” The frog explained to them he was 17 at that time and that he had thought they were cheering for him and yelling words of 18 to him the entire time!
A little encouragement can go a long way. We don’t often think about the 19 that our words have upon others. Our words do have the power to hurt or to 20 .

A long time ago, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him. Thus, feeling inferior (低级的), the seed gave no importance to his existence (存在). Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field in the sun. Later, he was given rain. Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side. "Thank you God for this. I really need some rest," he heard the traveler say. "What are you talking about?" the seed quickly asked. He thought the man was making fun of him. No one ever spoke to him like that. "Who just spoke?" the shocked man asked. "It is me. A seed." "A seed?" The man looked at the big tree. "Are you joking? You are not a seed. You are a big tree!" "Really?" "Yes! Why else do you think people come here?" "What do they come here for?" "To feel your shade (树阴)! Don’t tell me you didn’t know you had grown over time." A moment passed before the traveler’s words brought him pride. The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life. The years of torture (折磨) by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up. "Oh! That means I’m not a little seed anymore! I was actually born to make people feel comfortable. Wow! That’s great!"

Today, when a man steps on to the moon, or something new and important happens, the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There are only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct.
In 1904 the Wrights built a second machine. They called it “Flyer No. Two”. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly. Unfortunately, there was some mechanical(机械的) trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The newspapermen went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Wrights went on with their work. In 1905, they built an even better machine, “Flyer No Three”. They were able to stay upon the air for half an hour and more in the machine. Farmers and travelers on the road around the Dayton often saw them flying, but when three people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them.
The Wrights offered “Flyer No. Three” to the United States government. The government was not interested. They seemed to think the Wrights wanted money in order to build a plane. They did not understand the Wrights had already done this, and flown it as well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905, the two brothers took their planes to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden box. It seemed nobody was interested.

小题3:The Wrights took their plane to pieces because________.| A．they planned to go to Europe | | B．nobody was interested | | C．the government didn"t give them any money | | D．the newspapermen didn"t report their flights |
小题4:What does the underlined word “Flyer” mean?| A．Pilot. | B．Drive. | C．Plane. | D．Kite. |
小题5:Which of the following is NOT true?| A．Today, people are very interested in new things. | | B．People in the past talked little about new things. | | C．Reporters are now as interested in new happening as in the past. | | D．People in the past even told each other wrong things. |

Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb stated shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小题1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?| A．To get ready to fight | B．To frighten it away | | C．To protect the boy | D．To cool down |
小题2:What do we know about cougars?| A．They are afraid of noises | | B．They hesitate before they hit | | C．They are bigger than we think | | D．They like to attack running people |
小题3:How did Jeb try to hold the cougar’s attention?| A．By keeping shouting and hitting | | B．By making a wall out of his arms | | C．By throwing himself on the cougar | | D．By swinging his fists at the cougar’s eyes |
小题4:Which of the following happened first?| A．The cougar jumped from the rock | | B．Tom struggled free of his father | | C．Jeb asked Tom to get the knife | | D．Jeb held Tom across his body |

I was feeling a little blue because my mother had been laid off from her job and she had lots of bills to pay. It left me wondering what was going to happen to us now.
I got off the college shuttle bus and started walking. That’s 36 I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people and the traffic. I walked a little slower so that I could 37 where it was coming from. 38 the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a carriage next to her. She was singing songs about love, keeping on trying, and not underestimating (低估) the power within yourself. The way she was singing 39 me a bit. I stood there watching her play for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must 40 to perform alone in the middle of a crowded place.
She must have felt my 41 because she would 42 look in my direction. Then I walked over and put some 43 in her carriage and she said, “Thank you”. Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been 44 a rough time lately, but you’ve made me 45 again.”
“I’m happy that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
“Well, my mum told me she had got 46 from her job, and that made me sad. I’m not so sure what to do …”
“You see, here’s the problem,” she explained. “While you were 47 , your head was down. Don’t look 48 , because 49 comes in different ways and if your head were down, you might lose it.”
She also explained to me that she saw a lot of 50 people in the world and she tried to bring more 51 by sharing motivational (鼓舞人心的) music. She told me that when she wasn’t making music she studied 52 . So, that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.
I 53 a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing. So, after we 54, my heart was 55 and lightened by a musical soul!
