Most of the kids in the first grade lost not only one tooth, but several. But my daughter kept waiting impatiently. Then, she finally got a loose (松的) tooth. I never saw her so happy — except on Christmas, Children’s Day or her birthday. Last Friday night, she was eating an apple, and the tooth started to become loose. Minutes later, my daughter shouted happily. The tooth was out!
I cleaned it off and put it under her pillow (枕头). When she went to bed that night, my daughter wondered, “Will the tooth fairy (牙仙) let me keep the tooth?” I told her she might and she’d have to wait and see.
The tooth fairy comes from an old story. It’s believed that when a kid loses his first tooth and puts it under his pillow, the tooth fairy will come to visit him when he is sleeping. If the tooth fairy sees the kid and loves him, she will leave some money under his pillow without taking away the tooth. If she doesn’t think the kid lovely enough, she will still leave some money but take the tooth away.
And then I put a dollar in my bag so that I’d remember to put it under my daughter’s pillow. However, I forgot. Luckily, her dear dad remembered.

A Talking Fish
One afternoon last summer, Mr. Stow went to a fishman to buy fish for his supper, because a friend of his would come to have supper with him that evening.
It was hot, and most of the fish were not so good, but the fishman said, “Sir, all of my fish are good and fresh. Would you like some?” Mr. Stow held one fish up to his nose and smelled it. “Why do you smell that fish? Do you think it bad?” asked the fishman. “No, I didn’t smell it.” “Then what did you do with your face so close to the fish?” asked the fishman. “I didn’t smell the fish, I only talked to it,” said Mr. Stow. “What did the fish say to you?” “He said he didn’t know the latest news of the river , because he was out of the river for more than a week.”

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours(荣誉) a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry(化学), medicine and literature(文学), and for world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.
Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a certificate saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money-about $40,000.
Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.
小题1:When was Alfred Nobel born?| A．In 1938. | B．In 1833. | C．In 1896. | D．In 1906.[ |
小题2:What kind of person would you say Alfred Nobel was?| A．He was a rich, happy and lucky man. | | B．He was a poor, unhappy and unlucky man. | | C．He was a rich, but unhappy and unlucky man. | | D．He was a poor, but happy and lucky man. |
小题3:When he died, Nobel left a large amount of money ________.| A．to his wife | | B．to his children | | C．for helping the poor people in Sweden | | D．for setting five prizes |

When I was about 12, I had an enemy (敌人), a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud (骄傲), and so on. I tried to hear all these as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are the thing she said true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever think about what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could --- and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a very clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He wouldn’t like to take it. “That is just for you,” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you will find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do the right thing.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important periods. In my life, I have never had a better piece of advice.
小题1:Which do you think would be the best title (标题) for this passage?| A．Not An Enemy, But the Best Friend | B．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had | | C．My Father | D．My Childhood |
小题2:Why did the writer’s father listen to her quietly? Because__________.| A．he believed that most of what his daughter’s “enemy” said was true. | | B．he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping quiet for some time | | C．he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment | | D．he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth |
小题3:What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?| A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said. | | B．He criticized(批评) her and told her to overcome (克服) her shortcomings. | | C．He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true. | | D．He wouldn’t like to take the list and have a look at it. |
小题4:What does “I got a very clear picture of myself” mean?| A．I had my picture taken and this time it was a very clear one. | | B．I asked someone to draw a very clear picture of myself. | | C．The picture I got this time was clearer than those I had got before. | | D．I came to know myself very clearly this time. |
