An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily(平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.

The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks（脸颊）. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.

Wechat is popular among us, but if someone deletes you or blocks(屏蔽）you on it，does it mean you’ve made him or her angry?

It depends.

Maybe you have just left messages too often without much valuable information. For example, the questions are those like ‘how are u? ’ ‘what are u doing? ’ ‘do u love me? ’ too often. You know, people may feel bored after answering such kinds of questions time after time.

Another possible reason may be that you’ve sent something unpleasant to your friend or in your friend circle. I just blocked one of my middle school classmates yesterday because she was trying to sell fake goods in the friend circle, and I hale it quite much.

Some people delete the one's name from friends’ list because they no longer want to see it (maybe ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend) and they don’t want the one to see their“ Moments” (动态） on WeChat (maybe they publish very private pictures or life or thoughts they don’t want to share with him or her.)

So why you are blocked may depend on his or her mood or preference (喜好）, and the reasons a person gets blocked are various from person to person. So I suggest you to write an email or make a phone call to that person if he or she really means a lot to you to see why he or she is dissatisfied with you ,and to find out how you can make up for the case.

1.From paragraph 3, we can know if you are blocked that is because ______.

A. you are asking too many boring questions

B. your friend is angry

C. your friend doesn’t like answering questions

D. your friend has no time to reply

2.In paragraph 5 ,the underlined word "it" refers to ______.

A. the goods B. the name C. the private life D. the friend circle

3._______causes of being deleted or blocked are mentioned in the passage.

A. 4 B. 2 C. 3 D. 5

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Friend Circle B. Why Are You Blocked?

C. A Popular Way of Communication D. How to Make Your Friend Satisfied

What is life’s greatest gift? It is choice. Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal. 1. The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists. Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt（雕刻）our life. The tool doesn’t come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility. 2. It is enjoyment.

Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It’s the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices. 3. We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals?

4. And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. Foe example, you decide which stores to shop at and which bus station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

Life is like a chess game. 5. All chess lovers realize that it isn’t necessary to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.

A. Why is choice so great?

B. The pleasure is in the playing.

C. In fact, we have to make choices every day.

D. But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.

E. Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.
