One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a
forest to see how the trees were growing.
In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometres from their camp (营地), it started to snow. More
and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob
knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white
snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?
Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took
the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!
It was getting late. They rode on and on. At last the horses stopped. Where were they?
None of them could tell. John looked around. What was that under the tree? It was one of their tents!

common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you
will naturally say to yourself, "it could just as easily have been me." Such a death has a way of reminding
us how fragile life is, and it may cause you to reassess (重新评价) the direction of your own life.
Jack"s story is a good example. A successful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didn"t spend
as much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years
ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while
celebrating his daughter"s eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old.
Not long after his friend"s death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical
check-up. He received a clean bill of health. But the chest pain continued. He kept thinking of the death
of his friend. Jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his
friend"s family to manage after he passed away.
Jack realized that he didn"t want to end up his life that way. He talked his feelings over with his wife
and children, and decided to change his way of life. The family moved to a small town where he stared
a simple life. Now he is running a small art gallery. He is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in
his life. And he has got no more chest pain.
B. a warning
C. an example
D. a direction of life
B. he had too much money
C. he had to work with his best friend
D. he was too busy
B. 回忆
C. 错过
D. 创造
words as if it were yesterday:"Kerrel, I don"t want you to take food from your father, because he has
AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
AIDS wasn"t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew
that this would be a family secret (秘密). My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone.
For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father"s other
children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn"t afford all the necessary medication (治疗) for him, and because Dad was unable to work,
I had no money for school supplies and often couldn"t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling
completely lost, the teacher"s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden (反应) with anyone, I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at
classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults (成人) could be cruel (残酷). When my
father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was
too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was
completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit
National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone
who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him. He had never spoken about AIDS to
anyone, even me. He didn"t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.
D. He told no one about his disease.
B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher"s words.
B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
C. She found no one willing to listen to her.
D. She wanted to obey her mother.
B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C. To draw people"s attention to AIDS.
D. To remember her father.
and brothers "what" and "why".
They couldn"t always tell him what he wanted to know. When they couldn"t tell him, Ben tried to find
out for himself.
Many years Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say, "That Ben
Franklin! He is always finding out something new."
Ben lived close to the water. He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them
across the water.
One day Ben said to himself, "Why can"t the wind help me float across the water? And I am going to try."
Ben got his big kite. He took hold of the kite string and ran with it. The wind took the kite up into the air.
Then Ben jumped into the water. The wind blew the kite high into the air. Ben began to float across the
water. Soon he was on the other side, and he had not worked at all.
One boy shouted, "Look at Ben floating across the water! His kite takes him to the other side without
work!"
"Yes," said another, "he is always finding new ways to do things."

and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean"s
family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.
So Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ. She likes being anonymous (不知姓名的,名字不公开的), talking
to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and
has made a lot of friends who she contacts quite often.
Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco.
David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance.
So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot the time. Of course,
they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking
young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and
small things to each other.
When Jean"s father told her that he was going on business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her
go with him, so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of
their favorite rock singer. But when Jean knocked on David"s door in San Francisco, she found that the
special friend she had written to was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim.
