     Once President Roosevelt's house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. 1 this, one of
Roosevelt's friends wrote to him and 2 him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt 3
immediately, saying, "Dear friend, thank you for your letter to 4 me. I am all right now. I think I should
thank God. This is because of the following three 5 : Firstly, the thief only stole things from me 6 did not
hurt me at all; 7 , the thief has stolen some of my things 8 all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was
the man 9 me who became a thief."
     It is certainly 10 for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt had three reasons to be
11. This story tells us we should learn to be grateful in our life. There is a  12 from Mahatma Gandhi-Live as you were to die tomorrow; learn as you were to live forever. Great people are always 13 their love to
the world, just as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and so on. How about us?
     You can not do 14 , but still you can do something. So, be grateful to your life, all the people and the

smell.
     Be grateful to your parents, for they 16 to you and taught you right from wrong.
     Be grateful to your  17 , for they taught you with great patience.
     Be grateful to your friends, for you have known  18  since you were 9 or 10 and faced the 19 together

Compared with other children on the European continent，children in the UK start school at a very early age．But we are not persuaded that it gives them any educational advantage．

My three-year-old son and I went shopping for his school uniform over the summer holiday．As he stood in the changing room，swimming in even the smallest trousers，several people commented that he looked too young to start school．I couldn’t agree more．Hardly will he have blown out the candles on his fourth birthday cake，when I’ll be waving him off at the school gates．The poor little boy still puts his pants on back to front and thinks baby pigs come out of eggs．How is he going to cope with literacy and maths，let alone the horrors of school toilets?

Yes，I am all over-anxious mother but I’m surely not the only person who feels that British children start school far too young．Research suggests that sending children to school at such a young age leads to a sense of failure and disaffection（不满）that will follow them throughout their school career．

The law states that the legal age for starting school in the UK is the term after a child’s fifth birthday，but it is common practice in England and Wales to admit children to reception class（小班）at the beginning of the year in which they become 5．Because of this，most children start school at the age of 4．The latest government figures indicate that around 80 percent of children enter school before their fifth birthday．

By comparison，children in France，Portugal and Belgium start school at 6，while the school starting age in many Scandinavian countries is 7．This is the starting age in Finland，where students recently beat those from 39 other countries to come out tops in maths．science and reading．

1．When her son is going to attend school，the writer feels very __________．

A．excited B．concerned C．surprised D．puzzled

2．In the UK，the law states that children should start school at the age of ________．

A．4 B．5 C．6 D．7

3．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph mainly shows that the author’s on ______．

A．is still too young to go to school B．knows how to dress himself

C．still has some childish thoughts D．is too short to wear school uniform

4．From the passage，we can learn that _________．

A．children have some advantages over others if they start school early

B．students in Finland perform no better than those in the UK in maths and reading

C．starting school too young may have negative（消极的）influence on children later on

D．the UK government encourages parents to send their children to school before age 5

5．Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．Do Our Children Start School Too Young?

B．The Educational Performance of British Children

C．Young Students Are Likely to Fail

D．Different Starting School Ages in European Countries
