There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves, and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit in the tree, full of life and harvest(收获).

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life. He told them “You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature —the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.”

If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, harvest of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

1.Why did the man ask his sons to go and look at a pear tree in turns?

2.Did the four sons have the same answer?

3.What did the man think about his sons’ answers?

4.请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。

5.请给短文拟一个适当的英文题目。

As students, you may have many dreams. They can be very big like becoming Superman, or they can be small, just like one of the ten best students in your class.

If you find a dream, what do you do with it? How will you make your dream come true?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge(挑战).

“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects or you can't win in the end. The ideas stop you from getting your dream,” the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first important thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want, step by step(一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster. A big dream is many small dreams.

Never give up (放弃) your dream. There will be difficulties on the road. But the biggest problem comes from yourself. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will bring you better exam points. Saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. When you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. Then you can learn more skills and find new interests.

1.Follow Your Heart is _______.

A. the first thing you must do to make your dream come true

B. the most important dream to have for students

C. the name of a book by Andrew Matthews

D. the name of a famous Australian writer

2.The underlined word “it” in the sixth paragraph refers to ______in the passage.

A. your ideas B. your dream C. your school subjects D. your problems

3.What shouldn't you do to make your dream come true?

A. Watch TV to get better exam points.

B. Do what you should do step by step.

C. Always remember what your dream is.

D. Read more books, learn more skills and find new interests.
