important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren"t
just important to us; they make the world what it is. Scientists say that gravitational (重力的) force makes
the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families,
friends, even complete strangers. Even of you can"t see it, you know it"s there.
Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether
after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain-it is better to give than to receive.
Generosity is found everywhere and whether it"s a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all,
being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make
a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.
Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance.
Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to
discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions. You may fail, but every time you make
a mistake, that"s one less to make the next time.
There is an infinite (无穷的) number of things we value, but without love, generosity and perseverance,
we just don"t think that our life or the world would be the way it is.
B. gravitational force.
C. value
D. experience
B. you should be qualified
C. you should give all you have
D. you will find it good to give
B. People don"t understand the life they are experiencing at all
C. We can find love in complete strangers sometimes
D. What the world is like depends on gravity and love.
B. Three Values
C. Endless Love
D. Life Full of Hope
B. positive
C. indifferent
D. worried

they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they
rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on
the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not
particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked
about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another
city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond
the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came
into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to
join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were
smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was
surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me.
They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a
warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed
up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.

Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human
nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don"t want
to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human
nature went like this:"To err is human, to forgive, divine (神圣的)." This saying mirrors a deal people should
be forgiving of others" mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite-find someone else to pass the blame on to.
However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that
will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Commonsense tells you that you take an
umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine.
Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going
on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, "the right hand does
not know what the left hand is doing."
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art?
One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people. get the idea that it"s
okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary (直接推论) to that: if good excuse is "good" even
if it isn"t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
B. To achieve one"s ideal.
C. To make fun of others"mistakes.
D. To criticize others for one"s own error.
B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.
C. Making as few mistakes as possible.
D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.
B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.
C. A company"s next move follows a good plan.
D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.
B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.
D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.
B. To Blame or to Forgive
C. A Mark of Maturity
D. Truth or Excuse
I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying "thank you."
At first I was paid in candy. 2_____ I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on
weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 3_____
By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that the promoted me to selling
cosmetics (化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid,
women would ask me such things as "What color do you think I should wear?" I took a real interest in their
questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup (化妆) ideas. 4_____
The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn"t need to be a Rocket
scientist-you needed to be a great listener. 5_____ expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics
from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.
B. Before long, she let me sir there by myself.
C. I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics.
D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.
E. My grandma"s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.
F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.
G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.
others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to
discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon,
one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of
the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was
given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere "thank you", because they were never known.
This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase "pay it forward" is now used when
one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that
helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the
future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back
in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone
in the future.
Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to
repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than
to have you use her money to get a good education.
You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but
she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it. People with serious
needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools.
Some are elderly people who can"t afford their medicine or a doctor"s care. Consider how you can "pay it
forward" rather than pay money back to your grandmother.
B. they had solved the problems secretly
C. they were friends of the worried individual
D. they expected to be paid back in the future
B. to pay someone else who needs help
C. to help someone who has helped you
D. to help someone else who needs help
B. We should work hard to get a good education.
C. We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.
D. We should never forget to repay people for their help.
B. more children need help than elderly people
C. it costs a lot of money to "pay it forward"
D. nowadays many people help others without being repaid
B. mysterious
C. honest
D. unforgettable
