As I was walking around their bedroom, I  39 little reminders of them. Some Christmas gifts were still  40 in boxes. There were  41 on the wall, which I guess must have a  42 meaning to them. What took my breath away was seeing my dad’s emblems(徽章)from his military service of our country  43 he was young. My father never  44 to us about the Korean Wars. As I looked at those emblems hanging  45 with all the photos that he treasures, I  46 that this was an important part of his life, but I never spent the  47 in talking with him about them. The photos of my mom with her close  48 made me realize her life before she was my mom. I had been so  49 running my business to raise my own family that I  50 the chance to know about their past and experience.

So I still have time to talk with them. I hope that readers will  55 from my story and find the time to talk about those things in their life that mean so much to their parents.

举一反三
Boys need friends, suffer when they don"t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人).
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15­year­old boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature(成熟), the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life—and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds(关系) with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.
小题1:The common belief of adults is that boys________.
A.don"t care about others as much as girls
B.don"t value friendship as much as girls
C.have the same friendship as girls
D.have healthier friendship than girls
小题2:According to the text, boys" friendship________.
A.is usually built around active play
B.tends to be in small groups
C.can bear mutual hurt between friends
D.doesn"t suffer from failure
小题3:The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________.
A.many people believe girls are better at relationships
B.most boys consider their friends very important
C.boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D.boys may be more active in a friendship
小题4:As a boy gets older, he tends to________.
A.widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people
B.shift his focus from his friends to himself
C.leave his parents out of his friendship
D.be confused about what a friendship is
小题5:What"s the best title for the text?
A.Friendships between Boys and Girls
B.Boys and Their Friendship
C.Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
D.Tips on Making Friends with Boys

Can you become a creative person? Can you learn to come up with great ideas or learn to create new things? The answer is yes.
The first step to becoming creative is to remove the words “I am not creative” from your vocabulary. Seriously, do not say them or do not say them even inside your head.
Now you need to start looking what other people are doing. The more you see what they are doing, the more you can get a feel for how they think, and how they come up with creative ideas.
Find a way or a place where you feel totally relaxed. This is important so you can let your mind come up with ideas. Write them down as you get them. For me a relaxing place is outside in nature where it is quiet and sunny, or when I take a long drive in my car by myself.
The last step is to write down a few ideas every day.
Repeat the process of reading and observing what similar people are doing and how they are being creative, finding a relaxing place to write down your thoughts, and writing down a few ideas every day until you start seeing this kind of results you are happy with. It may take a few weeks to a few months, but this is the training process you need to put your mind through to become creative.
Remember, looking at things from different angle(角度) can also make a big difference to creativity. Question the way that everyone else is doing something using the same method and see if being different and doing it another way will produce something cool.
小题1:The first step to be creative is to _____.
A.have confidence in yourself
B.look up “creativity” in the dictionary
C.understand the meaning of being creative
D.learn many new words by heart
小题2:The writer develops the fourth paragraph by ______.
A.the order of timeB.the order of space
C.giving examplesD.explaining reasons
小题3:It can be inferred that ______.
A.creativity is a gift people are born with
B.not everyone can be creative
C.it is a piece of cake to be creative
D.creativity can be gained through practice
小题4:The purpose of writing this text is to tell us how to _____.
A.learn to be creative
B.solve problems easily
C.come up with good ideas
D.improve the ability of thinking

An old woman had two large pots, one on each end of a pole. She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”

Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.
Life is like a game and maybe you can award points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.
What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.
It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact, you should be always realistic(现实的). Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “give up” be a part of your vocabulary.
小题1:By saying “To err is human”, the author means that____________.
A.human beings should try to avoid making mistakes
B.no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes
C.mistakes and failures make up our life
D.human beings make mistakes easily
小题2:What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Try to reach 50 points.B.Try to get as many points as you can.
C.Award yourself for your successD.Don’t be afraid of missing your points.
小题3:The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through____________.
A.examplesB.numbersC.experimentsD.stories
小题4:The underlined word “despondent” in the last paragraph means____________.
A.frightenedB.disappointedC.surprisedD.excited

Mother’s Day is the time you say “thank you” to your mom. Stop shopping at the store. Flowers and other things in stores are too common to mention. You can choose a special gift for Mother’s Day! Just try staying close to home—and heart —write a Mother’s Day poem for her.
Use your head. Think of special moments when you were a child, times you’ve shared with your mom, things she did for you, and why you love her. Write down how those moments influenced you. Write down everything you can think of. This is your inspiration for the poem.
Look at what you wrote and pick out those things that are connected(有联系的). See if any words rhyme(押韵). It’s fine to write a free poem(one without rhymes), but many people find poems with rhymes are easier to work with, easier to read and quite catchy(容易记住的). If no words rhyme but you want your poem to, try to find connecting words that can help connect memories.
Once you have a few sentences, put them in a good order. For example, you could start with a childhood memory and end with something you remember from last month.
Add a title that shows the feeling of the poem. Even something as simple as “For Mom” can work, although something more personal might be better.
Write it in pen if you have beautiful handwriting. Read the poem over breakfast on Mother’s Day, and then hand it to your mom. Let’s wait and see the smile and tears of happiness on her face.
小题1:Why does the author suggest writing down everything you think of?
A. Because it will show your mother’s love.
B. Because it will bring you inspiration.
C. Because it can be shared with others.
C. Because it can help answer questions.
小题2:It’s better to write a poem with rhymes because     .
A.it is easier to read and remember
B.it makes the poem more interesting
C.it shows the unforgettable moments
D.it shows how things are connected
小题3:The best title for the poem should be one that        .
A.can be read easily and quickly
B.includes a few sentences
C.has some special words.
D.shows the feeling of words.
小题4:The passage mainly tells us         .
A.what to do on Mother’s Day.
B.what to buy for Mother’s Day.
C.how to write a Mother’s Day poem.
D.how to write good poems for Christmas.
