There was a pilot and four people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong with the machine while it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only four parachutes(降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses(借口).
“I must go and mend the machine,” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do,so he jumped out.
The first person stood up. “I’m a doctor”, he said. “I help people live longer and I save lives.” He also took a parachute and jumped out.
The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person. I have to go to an important sport match. I know I’ll win the game because I’ll be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.
Two men were left---an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old but you’re still young. You take the last parachute.” The young mountain climber smiled. “Don’t worry,” he said, “We can both jump to safety because there are still two parachutes.

Our world is full of rules. Everyone needs to obey them. But      your idea about your school rules? Now many students like to talk about the rules that they have      . At their school, they      wear uniforms every day. The problem is that all the students think the uniforms are        . They think young people should look smart and so they would like to wear their own clothes.      , their teachers believe that if they did that, they would think       of their clothes than their study.       the students disagree. They would feel more comfortable and that is good for      . If they can’t do that, they        design their own uniforms. That would be a good way to      both teachers and students happy.
It’s also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening.  Although they get        sometimes, they can learn a lot from each other. They also think that vacations should be longer. At present they’re too      . Longer vacations would give them time to do things like volunteering. On Friday afternoons, many students are sleepy after a long week of classes. They think it’s better to have Friday afternoons        to volunteer and help others.        , it is helpful for students to go to an old people’s home to sing and perform a play for them. It will help them understand the meaning of love. It’s also better to volunteer at the local hospital. It would be a good         for them because some of them want to be doctors when they grow up.

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway should pay me back£12, so you owe me the money,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man who was working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely, “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her, “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered, shyly, “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”
“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly, “I’ll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said, “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“Er, well…”woman looked at the child, “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe£1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”

Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out. Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79,the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance can lead.
When he was 15 in 1948,Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end,understand everything about how cells actually work,”Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996,the first cloned mammal in the world.
In 2006,Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors the prepared mind,”Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize the chance. ”

Life is full of happiness and bitters. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bittery one?
In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小题1:Happiness is for          
A.those who have large and beautiful houses
B.those who have cars
C.those who have lots of money
D.all people
小题2:When you do something wrong,          .
A.people around you will help you
B.you will have no chance to challenge yourself
C.your classmates will laugh at you
D.you will be happy

A.When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.
B.You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C.You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D.All of the above..
小题4:We say “Happiness is not the same as money.” because          .
A.money always brings happiness
B.money doesn’t always bring happiness
C.everything can be bought with money
D.only rich doesn’t always bring happiness

A.HappinessB.Happy and Lucky

I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.
“Which one of you did this?”
We all looked down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. I was very frightened. I hope no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so scared. When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, dad.” The other denied(否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us must have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find courage to tell the truth.
To find out who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I tried my best to write the words differently. I didn’t want dad to be able to tell it was me.
He gathered up our paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will say yes, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!
“I did it.” My sister walked forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. she was punished for a month.
We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry because of it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me. I told myself, “One must see to what he or she has done.”
