I had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was
getting some work done in my study while she 1 to be having a good time in the other room. No
problem, I figured. But then it got a little too 2 and I shouted, "What are you doing?" No response.
I 3 my question and heard her say , "Oh, … nothing." Nothing?
I got up from my desk and ran out 4 the living room, where I saw her running across the hall. I
followed and watched her a little behind, she made a quick 5 into the bathroom. I had her 6 ! I
told her to turn around. She 7 . I pulled out my big Daddy voice, "Young lady," I said, "turn around!"
8 , she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife"s new lipstick. And very square
inch of her face was 9 with bright red! As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, I heard 10 voice
that had been shouted to me as a child. " How could you… You should know… How many times have
you been 11 . What a bad thing to do…" It was just a matter of my picking out which old 12 I was
going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But 13 I could let loose,
looked 14 at the sweater on her. In big 15 it said, "I"m A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL (天使)! " I
looked back up into her tearful eyes and , 16 seeing a bad girl who didn"t listen, I saw a little angel
full of 17 that I had come dangerously close to 18 . "Sweetheart, let"s take a picture, so Mommy
can see how 19 you look." I took the picture and thanked God that I didn"t 20 the chance to prove
what a perfect little angel he had given me.

get it looking like it does today. We live on a corner and the yard is 1 by a rock wall. We call this area
our "rock garden".
Last summer, I found a tiny little 2 in the yard that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn"t
plant it. We 3 to let it continue growing until we could 4 what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the 5 plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. I decided
to treat it with care and 6 the weeds around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I
noticed something 7 . The sunflowers had not 8 where I saw the stalk (茎) began. It 9 had begun

That"s when I 11 that if a tiny little sunflower didn"t let a big rock stand in its 12 of developing,

Mr.Clinton and his 3-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday,
so Mr.Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no
ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers.
It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign
(牌子) that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket
was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and
handed them to Mr. Clinton.
“How much do you want?”
“Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.”
Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife
haven’t missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told
me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people
looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while.
You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed
of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true.”
How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is
the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over
30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”
A. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price
B. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price
C. people who buy tickets at a high price
D. people who sell tickets at a high price
grumpy. Not sleeping enough sleep can also make it harder to think clearly the next day.
Sleep scientists have long known that getting a good night’s sleep is very important. It helps kids be
able to do their best during the day.
A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem-solving skills and creative(创造性的) thinking. For the study, two groups of students answered a math problem. The group that slept for eight hours
solved the problem correctly more often than the group that did not get enough sleep.
While you sleep at night, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out(整理) all the information that you get in the day. Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking ability. That will surely
help you do your best at school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.

The sun was shining as Kevin walked to the old bench(长凳) where he met Mike every afternoon
after school. They were good friends and loved to play football. They didn’t have enough money to buy
a real football, but Mike had made a ball out of old socks covered with a piece of plastic. It wasn’t
beautiful, but it worked well. The two friends didn’t stop kicking and running until very late.
The next afternoon, Mike and Kevin met again at the old bench. Soon the home-made ball was
spinning(旋转) across the grass as the boys laughed and shouted happily. The ball was stopped by a
boy wearing a nice pair of sneakers(运动鞋). Kevin was upset when he saw it was Steven.
The next morning, Kevin’s mother gave him an envelope(信封). “Your uncle sent you a birthday
present,” she smiled. Kevin’s eyes grew big when he saw the $100 bill. Later that day, a pair of new
sneaker lay next to his chair, and in the corner, a real football.
The next afternoon, Steven invited Kevin to play football on the field next to the library. Steven did
not want Mike to join them only because Mike’s sneakers were dirty and he was not good at football.
When the game was over, Kevin and Steven walked past the old bench where Mike was sitting. Steven
picked up a stone and threw it at him. Kevin, holding his new football in his hands, walked on and did
not look back.
One afternoon, as Kevin walked past the old bench, he saw something lying under it. He looked
closer and saw it was the home-made ball. Kevin was full of sorrow at the sight of his old home-made
ball, and he let out a sad sigh(叹气). As his sadness turned to anger, he picked up his new football and
kicked it into the air. Kevin kicked it so hard that it flew past the library and over the school gate. Then
Kevin walked to the bench and picked up his home-made ball. Holding it in his hands, Kevin sat down
and waited.

I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 3 have scored more than

Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man 6 questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of

Consider my auto-repair man 9 . He had a habit of telling 10 .One time he said, "Doc, a deaf-and-dumb (聋哑) man 11 some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter
and made 12 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He 13 his head and
pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk 14 him some nails. He picked out the right size
and left. Well, Doc, the 15 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀). 16 do you
suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two
fingers. He burst out laughing and said, "Why, you fool,he used his 17 and asked for them. I"ve been
18 that on all my customers today,but I knew 19 I"d catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because
you are so goddamned educated. Doc. I knew you couldn"t be very 20 ".
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.
