     I have this old clock that belonged to my mom. My dad gave it to me years ago after mom passed
away.
     I have mixed feelings about having the clock. I love it because it was my mom"s, but it also holds
some bad memories.
     You see, it chimes. It counts out the hour and rings once on the half hour. Or at least it used to. Now
you never know what number it will ring.
     When my mother was at home dying from cancer, she asked for the clock to be unplugged. Hearing
the hours count down really angered and frightened her.
     Mom passed away. I decided I wanted to get the clock fixed so I could remember the good hours
we had with her.
     I took it to a local clock shop the other day.
    "I know this has no particular value as a clock, but it was my mom"s and I need to get it fixed," I said
to the shop owner.
     I went on to describe the problem.
     "We get a lot of these in," he told me. "Here"s what I do. We remove the clock works (机件) and
replace it with a battery-operated movement (机芯) that chimes electronically," he told me.
     "You can"t fix this?"
     "No, we don"t have the time nor the parts."
     I thanked him and went home. I called a few other places and was told the same thing.
     "How incredibly sad," I told the last one disappointedly.
     How incredibly sad that we have become a society that replaces craftsmanship with convenience
and easy fixes. We copy the original instead of creating something new. We duplicate (复制); we don"t
originate (发明).
     Sadly, the same goes for our attitude to life itself.
     Each of us is an original, one of a kind. But we find it so much easier to copy another style than to
develop our own.
     We are wannabes (崇拜别人的人) rather than hey-world-look-at-mes.
     We fail to see the real value in who we are, so we spend our lives trying to be someone else.

1. Why did the author decide to get the clock fixed?
A. Because it was a really old and valuable clock.
B. Because it was the only thing that her mother had left her.
C. Because it brought her memories of being with her mother.
D. Because it left the author with mixed feelings.

2. What did the clock shop owners tell the author?
A. The parts that the clock needed were electronic.
B. It would cost a lot to repair the clock.
C. They had never repaired a clock like this before.
D. They could only make the clock electronic.

3. The author intends to ________.
A. criticize the irresponsible clock shop owners
B. criticize people who do not value things with a history
C. criticize people who do not have a creative attitude toward life
D. criticize people"s ignorance of traditional craftsmanship

     An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa
was up early sitting at the kitchen table   1   his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and
tried to   2   him in every way he could.
     One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read that book just like you do,   3   I don"t
understand it, and what I do understand I   4   as soon as I close the book. What   5   does reading
the book do?"
     The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket
down to the river and bring me back a basket of   6   ."
     The boy did as he was told, but all the water   7   before he got back to the house.
     The grandfather laughed and said, "You"ll have to move a little more   8   next time." Then he sent
the boy back to the river with the basket to try   9   . This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket
was   10 before he returned home.
       11   , he told his grandfather that it was   12   to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a
bucket   13   .
     The old man said, "I don"t want a   14   of water; I want a basket of water. You"re just not trying
hard enough."   15   he went out of the door to watch the boy try again.
     The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran as hard as he could, but when he  16   his
grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See, Grandpa, it"s useless!"
     "So you think it is useless?" the old man said, "Look at the basket."
      The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was   17   . Instead of a
dirty old coal basket, it was   18   , inside and out.
     "Son, that"s what   19   when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything,
but when you read it, you will be   20 , inside and out."

     "I"d be better off dead." he said, without any hesitation. Hearing those words come out of my best
friend"s mouth tore my heart apart. He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind
continually plays it over like a voice recording.
     I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles
with depression. Sadness was not the only feeling that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so
outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was hurt physically and mentally as a young child,
causing him to have the thought of killing himself.
     He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in
his family. However, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore,
when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or
what I am doing, for he always comes first.
     Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees
it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to
ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices,
I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best
friend seems to give him the safety he needs to keep on going.
     My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my
encouraging words helped him not to take his life. Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word
can influence someone’s life. Life is not easy for every one, which makes me strongly believe in the
necessity of encouragement.

1. According to the first paragraph, hearing his friend"s words, the author felt______.

A. puzzled
B. painful
C. frightened
D. hopeless

2. By saying "convenience is not in my vocabulary", the author means ______.

A. he is always ready to help his friend
B. he hardly spares time to help his friend
C. he has no good excuse for refusing his friend
D. he is not good at communicating with his friend

3. The author"s friend got into depression mainly because __________.

A. he lived without his parents
B. he had poor health
C. he received little care at school
D. he had a terrible childhood

4. What is the best title for the passage?

A. I enjoy friendship
B. My friend and I
C. I believe in encouragement
D. The story of my friend

    When I was young, my father had a small   1  . Each of the seven children in our family worked in our
father"s   2 . As we worked and watched, we   3   that work was about more than survival and making a
sale.
     One   4   is still existing in my mind. It was shortly before   5  . I was working evenings, straightening
the   6   section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He looked poor to me-too poor to   7   to
buy anything. He looked around the toy section,   8   this item and that, and   9 put them back in their
place.
     Dad came down the stairs and   10   over to the boy. His blue eyes smiled as he asked the boy   11
he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas present for his brother. I was   12
that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his time and look around.
He did.
     After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy plane, walked up to my dad and said,
"How   13   for this, Mister?"
    "How much you got?" Dad   14  .
    The little boy held out his hand and   15   it. In his hand lay 27 cents. The   16   on the toy plane he"d
picked out was $3.98.
    "That"ll be   17   about to do it," Dad said as he closed the   18  . Dad"s reply still rings in my ears. I
   19   about what I"d seen as I wrapped the present. When the   20 boy walked out of the store, I saw
a child with a treasure.
