“Never give up!” It is my law of life. It has brought me      . I learned the law from my father’s          story.
My father was         in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then         in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework          midnight. Life was hard, because they had no        !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where         people can become rich.
        don’t I go to America?”he thought to himself, full of hope.
So my father came to America. “I had thought it was easy to        money in America,”he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire me because I spoke         English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables,      dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was         for the first few years. I worked from 10 am to 11 pm. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t        the schooling.”
My father      working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,”he often says to me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come         in life.”That is what I learned from my father.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter.Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life.It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family,such as stairways and fire escapes,but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings,escaping through windows is possible,learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground.An average(平均高度的)person,hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground.It is about the height of an average man.Of course,it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help.Be sure to keep the door closed.Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗)into the room.
On a second or third floor,the best windows for escaping are those that open onto a roof.From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.Dropping onto cement(水泥)might end in injury.Bushes(灌木丛)and grass can help to break a fall.

German scientists say that eating a little chocolate every day may keep you away from cardiovascular(心血管的) disease. The scientists have found that chocolate, especially dark chocolate , can help you cut down 39 percent of heart disease, including taking a very small amount . However, the study advises people not to eat too much chocolate, because too much chocolate is bad for our bodies. So the scientists advise people to eat small amount of chocolate instead of sugar or high-fat snacks.
Scientists said, “Dark chocolate shows the greatest effects, milk chocolate fewer , and white chocolate no effects.” The results showed chocolate may cut down blood pressure, but they also say that further study is needed.
In the eight-year study, people’s daily diet, exercise habits, and blood pressure were studied in 19,357 persons aged 35 to 65. They found that people who are an average of 7.5 grams of chocolate a day had a very lower chance of heart disease than those who ate much less chocolate , and average of 1.7 grams a day.

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test. ” he said. “And because I know you are all able to understand these questions. I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test. ’’
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said. “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. ”Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that. but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons. whether from school education or from events in their lives,and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight,80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However,there is nothing you can’t do or leant to be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰)said,“We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves. ”
小题1:Some students left the classroom because _________.
A.they were happy with the grade the teacher would give them

C.they knew the teacher didn’t like them to take the test
D.they thought the exam was so easy that they don’t need to have a try

A.they answered all the questions in the exam correctly
B.they didn’t believe themselves
C.they believed themselves in what they had learned
D.they had been working hard for each exam
小题3:The underlined word “conquer’’ means __________ in the passage.
A.发现B.控制C.探索D.征服
小题4:What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
A.He wants us to know what our limits are.

As we know, everyone has problems. And      we don’t deal with our problems, we can easily become unhappy. So how do we deal with our problems? Here are some ways.
By learning to forget
Most of us have probably been        with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn't like, or you felt unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may       .
Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements, and decide         to each other. However, this usually does not.            for long. This is an important.         for us: we can solve a problem       learning to forget.
By regarding problems as challenges
Many students often complain about       . They might feel they have      work to do sometimes, or think the school rules are too      We must learn how to change these "problems" into "challenges". Education is an important part of our development.      young adults, it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education       the help of our teachers.
By thinking of something worse
By comparing.         to other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist,     regards his many physical problems as unimportant. He can't walk      even speak, but he has become very famous and successful. Don’t worry about problems. Let's face the challenges instead.

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet viewing of the wonderful paintings.
A young couple were viewing the paintings in front of me and chatting with each other without stop. I watched them for a moment and noticed the man’s wife was doing all the talking. I was surprised to see that the man was so patient and could stand his wife’s words, but I still moved on.
I met them several times when I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard she continued talking about the paintings, I moved away quickly.
I was buying some gifts in the museum shop when the couple came near to the gate. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out something brown. He turned it into a long stick and then tapped(轻敲) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man,” a clerk beside me said. “Most of us would give up if we became blind at such a young age. During his treatment, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot , more than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting, so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience(耐心), courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person who was blind and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to make his life different. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away holding each other’s hands.

A young man went to visit a wise man living deep in the mountain for the wisdom of life.
“Excuse me! Could you please tell me what the most           day in our lives is?Is it the day when we were born or the day we           ?Is it the day when we fall in love or the day we succeed?”The young man asked.
          The most important day in our lives is today. ”The wise man replied calmly.
“Why?”The young man felt more than           . “Is it because there is a moving event taking place today?”
“No. Nothing has happened today. ”
“Is it because of my visit?”
“Even if nobody visited me today, today is            very important because today is the only wealth we have. No matter how memorable yesterday is, it has gone by like a ship going down into the sea; no matter how bright tomorrow may be, it is yet to come; but no matter how common today is, it is           our control (控制). ”
The young man still wanted to ask something, while the wise man           him and said, “When we are talking about the meaning of today, we have           a lot of it. ”
The young man nodded and then went down the mountain.
Actually, today is the only           we have. So, what we should do now is to           yesterday and tomorrow and catch fast today!
