举一反三
A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. Hw asked his father, “Why does my apple turn brown?” His father answered,”“When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the apple causes oxidarion. This changes the apple’s molecular structure and results in a brownish color.”The boy asked,“Dad，what are you
talking about?”
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right.
The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.
Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.
Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”
So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.

小题3:What do Dr. Leo Buscaglia’s words mean?| A．We can search the answers when enjoying life itself. | | B．We must make right choices as often as possible. | | C．People have many desires when they enter the world. | | D．It is hard to lead a happy and satisfying life. |
小题4:What can be concluded from the passage?| A．We should try to learn and understand the answers to questions. | | B．We should learn from our mistakes and try again. | | C．It is very important to try to avoid(避免) mistakes. | | D．It is our duty to make the world a better place. |
小题5:What is the style of the passage?| A．novel | B．news | C．poem | D．essay |

Since the end of World War I(WWI) in 1918, Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifice our soldiers have made in different ways, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.
Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI, a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide. As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI, today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution. They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.
That’s why we wear the red poppy(罂粟花)；that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you”; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request. Yet this message is fading away, year after year. Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school. Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.
It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem in Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid. It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history, no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice. Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.
Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.
小题1:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today?| A．Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead. | | B．Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers. | | C．Wearing a red poppy to show respect. | | D．Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform. |
小题2:What can we learn from the passage?| A．War history is too violent for school children | | B．The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army | | C．Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies. | | D．More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories. |
小题3: The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to_______.| A．the death of so many soldiers in wars | | B．the fact that there were so many wars after WWI. | | C．people’s ungratefulness for the freedom they have. | | D．removing children from Remembrance Day events. |
小题4:The writer believes that ______.| A．the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be remembered. | | B．Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiers. | | C．school no longer think Remembrance Day is necessary. | | D．people should be forced to learn about the realities of war. |

I have always been an independent person, but I have come to know that being independent does not mean refusing help. I may still be 16 with asking for help, but I try to accept. Furthermore, I will even 17 help and when my offers are refused, I am 18 willing to walk away. And all these changes came from a disaster on an island.
Sometimes a person’s independence is a 19 of pride, daring, stubbornness and luck. I used to be too 20 since I was little. I was once a traveler who never asked for 21 , choosing instead to struggle with maps and signs until I found my way.
Then one day on the island of Koh Phangan, in Thailand, everything 22 . I was swimming in the ocean with Sean, my fiancé, when he was 23 by a box jellyfish(箱型水母). He 24 within three minutes, 25 years old. Yet when onlookers and travelers asked if I wanted 25 , stubborn pride and force of habit 26 me accepting. But two young Israeli women stayed. 27 my protest(反对), they were with me even when the police tried to cover up the 28 of Sean’s death. It was listed as drunk drowning to avoid hurting the 29 industry. The Israeli women 30 have walked away. 31 , without even telling me, they 32 their schedule rather than leave me behind.
33 I didn’t realize it at that time, I would not have 34 the disaster without these great women. Actually, the person who needs help the most is usually the last person to ask for it. I have learned 35 is better than refusing because it not only helps you walk out of trouble, but also helps you know the real meaning of life.

They crossed in front of me as I was driving out of the store parking lot．My first reaction was filled with anger at being delayed for a whole ten seconds．But I quickly became patient when I realized that this was an elderly couple．
The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him．He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind．The two of them worked as one—each needing the other to function in this fast-changing world．
That little example of true strength changed my whole personal perception(理解)of life that day．Suddenly I wasn’t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays．I had my strength，and I was still relatively young．
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week．My life wasn’t so bad after all．I had my health and a good job．I had a wonderful，supportive wife．I started to think—not only was I lucky to have these all, but also was that wonderful old couple，who，despite the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world．
There are so many people out there just like that couple．My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset．That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort．Just remember，none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders．We all should spend a little extra time and patience when it comes to helping our elder friends．
小题1:When the author was about to drive away，the couple ．| A．entered the store | B．hit his car | | C．got in his way | D．asked him for help |
小题2:What did the author think of the couple?| A．They lived a happier life than he | | B．They were admirable for their lasting love | | C．They didn’t live a life without hardships | | D．They wouldn’t be respected for walking together． |
