     I will never forget the very moment that caused me to leave my gift behind because I wanted the gift that
my older sister Maria had.
     My family was spending a week at the beach. One morning, Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed
behind to finish a drawing of a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top
gymnast (体操运动员). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze
me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her.
     I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take a
gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners' class.
     If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear
that I didn't have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it.
     During this time, drawing and painting-which had been my two favorites-all but left my mind. It must
have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just
would not give up.
     At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing
for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms.
White. "Alice, you won the contest!" she said loudly.
     "Really?" was all I could reply.
     "Yes," Ms. White said. "They're going to give you a prize. And that's not all. The winner is also accepted
into Wildale's Summer Fine Arts Institute." I couldn't believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists
were accepted each summer.
     That night I didn't go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria's gift, not
mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own.
1. Alice wanted to be a gymnast because ________.
A. she had been good at sports
B. her sister's show was perfect
C. she hated drawing and painting
D. her parents wanted her to do so
2. How did Alice feel about learning gymnastics at last? 
A. Satisfied.
B. Worried.
C. Hopeful.
D. Regretful.
3. From the story, we can infer that ________.
A. Alice's parents disagreed with her choice of gymnastics
B. Alice did not realize her gift in drawing and painting at first
C. Alice spent a hard time preparing for the art contest in the town
D. Alice couldn't believe the news that she got the prize for painting
4. What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage?
A. We should value our own gifts.
B. It takes time to find one's gifts.
C. We could develop different gifts.
D. It's never too late to show our gifts.

How I study English

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest(爱好)in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject – English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(词汇). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不论何时)I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

     I need friends who can share my emotions (情感). When I get very happy or excited, I need someone
to share with me. When I was full of sorrow or sadness, I need to talk about it with someone. I need friends
who can give me a hand when I come across difficulties or am in trouble. Of course, we take time to make
friends. We choose a friend and are chosen by a friend. We may get a lot from a friend but also need to give
much to a friend, and that is friendship. We know that it is very difficult to get help or to have a friend when
we are in trouble. So we take time to make friends so that we can have good friends to get help from if we
come across difficulties. I need friends to spend my spare time to avoid loneliness. A lot of activities require
a partner. For example, when we play table tennis or badminton, we need a partner. In this way, a friend can
make my life more exciting and meaningful.
      It seems that everyone needs a friend to live a happier life. Without friendship, life is not complete. We
need friendship for different purposes, and different purposes may need different friends. Life is made up of
friendship. Let us open our hearts and make more friends to live a happier life.
