    Collecting opens new worlds for you, but this is only one of the reasons to collect. Here are some more.
    Collecting tells stories. There is a story behind every object (物品) in a collection. There is your story:
the story of when and where you get each object and what it means to you. The objects themselves also
tell stories. If an object is old, it may tell the stories of other people who once owned (拥有) or used it.
If it's new, it can tell you a lot about its own time and place.
    Collecting teaches you many things. Historical (历史的) objects teach us about important events, great
heroes, or everyday life in the past. New objects show today's technology (技术) and our way of life.
Plants, animals and stones teach us about nature. 
    Collecting lets you share your knowledge with others. When you show your collection to your family
or friends, you teach them new and interesting things. Kids all over the world are collectors, so while you're
having fun learning about your collection, you can also make new friends and share your knowledge.

    A great French writer has said that we should help everyone as much as we can because we often need
help ourselves. The small even help the great.About this, he told the following story.

at all. The poor ant got too tired but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity, the bird
threw a piece of wood. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in
grass she heard a man coming up. He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun in his hand.
As son as he saw the bird, he wished to kill her, and he would certainly do soon, but the ant bit him in one of his
feet and at that moment the bird flew away at once. It was an animal mucher weaker and smaller than the bird

      Being a youth (青年) is one thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these
qualities(品质): First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches (财富). Without it, nothing can be
done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take medicine day after day. Even you can't work,
do sports and so on. Secondly, one must have a kind heart. Always do something for others. Help those
in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a wonderful world it
would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability(能力) to work with others. Cooperation (合作) and
communication are two important keys to better human relations (关系). Everyone needs friends because
no one can live through life alone.
      Patriotism is also something we should never forget. Patriotism means a love for one's country. It is
one of the highest qualities of humans'. Everyone should love his country. But people sometimes think that
patriots (爱国者) must be fighters fighting for their country in hard times. That is wrong. A good youth's
work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do. 
      I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be
able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more.

2．If you want to have better human relations with others, what are very important?

        Oftentimes one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were youngsters
again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age
gives him without wasting his time in useless things. 
        Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities (责任) to think about. A child is usually fed, looked
after and loved by his parents. He will never be expected to do anything in return. In addition (另外), life is
always presenting (呈现) new things to a child, but the things that have lost their appeal (吸引力) for the old
because they are too well-known. In the meanwhile, a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes
to, he is continually (不断地) being told not to do a certain thing, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
        After a child grows up, he starts to make his own living. He can no longer expect others to pay for his
food, his clothes, or his room, and he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time
playing about in the way he used to play as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he
used to break the laws of his parents, he may go in prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and
has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society.

     As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel
Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
     Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
     Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge.
You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible for you to become a
writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
     In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come
true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
     You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the
biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of
watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream
means you can buy a new book.
     As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn
something more useful and find new hobbies.
1. The biggest difficulty on the road to your dreams comes from ______.
[     ]
A. yourself

[     ]
A. can't be realized
B. can be very small
C. will come true
D. can be very big
4. How do you make your dream come true faster?
[     ]
A. Remember what your dream is.
B. Don't let your dream leave your heart.

    Don't worry if you have a problem! This is easy to say if you don't have one yourself, I know. But the only
people who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. We call them cemeteries (坟墓).
    If you're breathing, you have difficulties. That's how life is. But believe it or not, most of your problems may
actually be good for you! Let me explain.
    Maybe you know about the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), running some 1800 miles from New Guinea
(新几内亚) to Australia. Tour guides often take visitors to see the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an
interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale (苍白) and lifeless, while the
ocean side is lively and colorful. Why is this?"
    The guide answered:"The coral (珊瑚) around the lagoon side is in still water. With no challenge to its survival
(生存), it dies early. The coral on the ocean side is always being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to
fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and grows healthy, it grows strong." He
added, "That's the way it is with every living thing."
    That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral by the sea, we grow. Physical
problems make for a stronger body. Stress makes for a stronger mind.
    So, you have problems-no problem! Just tell yourself,"There I grow again!"
1. From the beginning of the passage we know _______.
[     ]
A. we needn't worry about our problem
B. problems follow us for ever
C. it's natural to face all kinds of problems
D. above the all
2. Who has no problems according to the passage?
[     ]
A. The persons who are very famous
B. The persons who are living in the cemeteries.
C. The persons who have been born
D. The persons who have much money.
3. In the writer's opinion, ________.
[     ]
A. problems bring us much trouble
B. we should try to stay away from any trouble
C. problems have two sides, good or bad.
D. the fewer things we do, the less trouble we'll meet
4. The reason why lagoon side of the reef has no life is _______.
[     ]
A. it hasn't got any sunlight
B. it never faces any challenge and tests
C. it has less energy than others
D. it has no work to do every day
5. After reading this passage, we should ________.
[     ]
A. regard any problem as challenge
B. learn from the lagoon side
C. worry your problem
D. enter into cemeteries

     Learn to relax. Overwork is the main reason why so many students feel tired and stressed (紧张). Cut
down some of the jobs you need to do each day so that you can only focus on the most important things.
Leave time for activities that are relaxing and fun. This might mean reading a good book, listening to the
music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.
     Get a good night's sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form.
If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to concentrate
(集中) on the things you need to do.
     Exercise regularly and eat well. Don't rush through your meals. Eat less junk food (垃圾食品) or fast
food. Eat healthy food instead.

as your friends and spend more time with them and you'll be as happy as them.

your mind. Knowing that you are able to solve problems is a good way to build up your self-confidence
(自信).

     Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your
studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with
your warm heart, you'll find that the whole world smiles to you.
     While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on
your teacher's face when you did a good job?
     One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very
sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don't you sit down and listen to the free
concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely (及时的) rain, crops in the fields will grow better
and better and farmers will have a food harvest. 
     Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure (失败) can't be avoided
(避免). I think failure is not terrible and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When
we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish
what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success."
     Attitude (态度) decides everything. With an optimistic (乐观的) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let's
smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
