When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch(接球) with me. I wasn’t very good at it, 16 we would play anyway. He was always telling me “Keep your eye on the ball” as I would not be able to catch even the 17 of throws.
As I got 18 , we didn’t play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his 19 , he would try to 20 with me and say “Keep your eye on the ball”. We would both laugh 21 usually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me 22 .
My father became 23 in 1995 when I was 23. There weren’t any more conversations, as he suffered from a stroke(中风). 24 could not speak. He could only give 25 words, which were sometimes hard to understand. I seemed to be pretty good at 26 his lips(唇) after a while, even better than the 27 who were caring for him there.
During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend. 28 , I could read his lips: “Keep your eye on the ball.” We both smiled.
That was the last time I saw my father 29 he passed away.
Sometimes, all these years later, when I get in trouble, I just 30 myself “Keep your eye on the ball”.

Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by --- the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter.

The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears.

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.

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. |
