“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend．It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question．Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister．We hung out together．We gave each other advice．

         “Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door．“Thanks．”

         “Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly．

         “Okay．See you later then…” and I closed the door．

         “Who was that at the door?” my mum asked．

         The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends．I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting．A fight won’t stop us from being friends．Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two．”

         I stopped reading and started laughing．I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her backyard．I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship．

The Pillow

At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.

We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.

On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."

The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.

When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.

That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.

As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"

    "A pillow," she replied.

    "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.

    "When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.

    "Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.

Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"

We know exactly what he means.

1．The writer’s first volunteer project was         .

        A．working on a poor trailer  B．helping a poor family

         A．the family lived in a trailer         B．he expected to get some toys

         C．he didn’t know what a bed was         D．the boys had no bed to sleep in

3．From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen       before.

         A．a trailer      B．a truck        C．a pillow      D．a house

4．By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writer’s father means that        .

        A．what they want to get may be unnecessary

         B．they should not waste money on small things

         C．they should do more volunteer work for the poor

D．what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow

    We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.

    The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.

    Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.

    I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.

    But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.

    I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"

    She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I 'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much?"

    I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.

    Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

1. The underlined expression ' make a big "to do" over' (Paragraph 4) means ______.

   A. show much concern about                B. have a special effect on

   C. list jobs to be done for                   D. do good things for

2. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ______.

   A. beautiful hair      B. pretty clothes       C. lovely smile       D. young age

3. Kristen felt sad and cried because ______.

   A. the guest gave her more coats to carry

   B. she didn't look as pretty as Kelly

   C. the guests praised her sister more than her

   D. her mother didn't introduce her to the guests

4. We can conclude from the passage that ______.

   A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children

   B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt

   C. people usually like the younger children more

   D. adults should treat children equally

     The story of how the song Happy Birthday to You came to be, began as a sweet one, that later
soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and
Dr. Patty Hill, the headmaster of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, named Good
Morning to All. As the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist(风琴师) for her church,
Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's knowledge in the area of Kindergarten Education,
Good Morning to All was sure to be a success.  
     The sisters published the song in a collection called "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893.
Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education
at Columbia University's Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the
song, without the sisters' permission. What was worse, he added a second lyric, the familiar Happy
Birthday to You
     Mr. Coleman's addition of the second lyric made the song famous and popular and, eventually, the
sisters' original first lyric disappeared. Happy Birthday to You the one and only birthday song, had
altogether replaced the sisters' original title Good Morning to All.
     After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, discussed the issue
together and took Mr. Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody
(曲调). Because the family legally owns the song, they can earn royalties(取版税)on it, whenever it is
sung for commercial purposes.
1. Why was the song Good Morning to All successful?
A. Because both of the two sister liked music a lot.
B. Because the two sisters are experts on music and education.
C. Because both of the sisters are passive and patient.
D. Because the two sisters are teachers of kindergarten.
2. What do the underlined words later soured mean (in Paragraph 1)?
A. The song was completely changed in the end.
B. The song later had a sad development story.
C. The son didn't become popular years later.
D. The song is meant for commercial use later.
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Hill family got a lot of money eventually.    
B. Mr. Coleman got a lot of money from the song.
C. The Hill sisters got support from the court.          
D. Mr. Coleman published the song secretly.
4. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. The origin of a famous song.    
B. The addition of a famous song.
C. The life of the two sisters.
D. The story of a family's fame.
