He was right. We always plan or dream to do something great so that we can change the world. For example, we h2. pollution, so we try to find new energy sources (能源) to keep the environment clean. H3., we still litter on the ground in our lives. Also, we are not satisfied with the traffic, so we plan to build more highways to s4. it, but in fact, the main reason for it is that many people don’t f5. the traffic rules.

Now, lots of students always think their homework is very difficult and they find it hard to pass exams. In their eyes, the p6. on papers are too difficult. But actually, the real r7. is that they don’t study hard. They never think about changing their attitudes (态度) t8. study or working hard on their lessons.

In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we should change ourselves first. As c9. people, it is not easy for us to change the world, but we can easily give up our bad habits, such as littering, breaking traffic rules and always complaining (抱怨) about how difficult the exam is. If we can do that, we’ll be strong e10. to change the world some day and make it!

One of the best-known American writers is Samuel Langhorne Clemens, whose pen-name is Mark Twain. Born in 1835, Twain grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. Like many other boys of his day, Twain dreamed of becoming a pilot(舵手) of a river boat in order to travel along the river happily. His early life in the river town was written into his two most famous books, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

As a young man Twain held many jobs. He was a printer, a gold miner, and for a long time, he was a pilot of a river boat. During his pilot days, he changed his name into Mark Twain. When he travelled by boat, he began to write down what he saw along the river and what he talked with the local people. Finally, Twain became a famous writer. His works were sold out in America and Europe, and were translated into many languages, including Chinese, Japanese and French. Twain’s style of writing was simple and direct.

I teach economics in a university three times a week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.

His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.”

“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I exited(离去) the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashes on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “ Δ .” I replied, smiling.

“Your car breaks down but it is not a bad day. What do you mean?”

“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,” I replied. “Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient way.”

I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.

Working as a vet (兽医), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic with their dying dog Coco. I examined Coco and found he was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia (安乐死) would be best for the dog.

On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm , petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.

The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.

Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."

He said, "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.

For too many people, the harm begins early in life. Four out of ten babies born in the United States do not form a strong relationship with either parent, and they will pay for that in the rest of their lives.

New research from Princeton University confirms what other researchers have already found: the number of babies who are lack of the close relationship is rather big, which prevents them having a fair chance of having a successful life.

That finding is supported by many other research projects, including a study from the University of Rochester showing that nearly one third of US parents don’t know what to expect from their newborns, or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others. Babies, as others have pointed out, don’t come with an owner’s guide book.

The basic problem, according to the Princeton’s study, is that 40 per cent of babies in the US live in fear or distrust of their parents, and that will turn into aggressiveness (侵犯), defiance (违抗) and hyperactivity (多动) as they grow into adults.

Of that number, 25 per cent don’t have a close relationship with their parents because the parents don’t satisfy their needs. And 15 per cent find their parents are so troubling that they will avoid them whenever possible.

That will not necessarily result in a lifetime of violence, but it will make living a successful life much more difficult.

“They can overcome(克服) it,” sociologist Sophie Moullin of Princeton, the leader of that study, said in a telephone interview. “It’s not a make-or-break situation, but they might find it harder to control their behaviour.”

Moullin, along with his teammates from Columbia University and the University of Bristol in England, studied more than 100 research projects, to reach their conclusions.

Many reasons lead to the problem, including poverty(贫穷), ignorance(无知), and stress among parents who are so busy with their own problems that a new child is sometimes more than they can deal with.

Yet strong relationships, the researchers say, are amazingly simple to achieve.

1.According to the writing style of the passage, it may be a___________.

A. news report B. book report C. novel D. review

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. About 40 % of the newborns do not form a strong relationship with either parent.

B. Some parents are too busy with their own problems to deal with a new child.

C. Parents’ failing to satisfy their babies’ needs may cause future problems.

D. Babies who fail to have close relationships with their parents are sure to have an unsuccessful life.

3.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. Findings of other projects similar to this topic.

B. Examples of the results of lacking strong relationships.

C. Simple ways of achieving strong relationships with a baby.

D. Reasons for failing in building up strong relationships with a baby.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. It’s harder to control children’s behaviour

B. What a little love means to a little one

C. The problems of the parents in the United States
