Poor, but so rich at heart
Two years ago, my parents died in a car accident. __(A)__then, my elder brother and I have had to work part-time to make a living. I have been working as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for six months, and now I’ve just got my salary(薪水).
I was walking back to school and saw the notice board in the lobby(大厅). There was a notice __(B)___ for donations for the earthquake. A girl called Amanda was reading the same notice.____(C)____. You could see that easily from her fancy clothes and gadgets(小玩意儿).
“Aren’t you going to donate?” I asked, (D)“People there must be having a really hard time. All their houses have been destroyed by the earthquake. They’ve got nothing ____(E)____, no place to live, nothing to eat or…”
“Sorry, I don’t have money to spend on that!” she laughed. “I have 10 new dresses to buy. I need to get a new phone. And then I’m ____(F)___ to fly to Paris for the weekend.” (G)With these words, she walked away.
I took the money from my pocket and walked to Mrs. Tawreen’s office.
“Excuse me, ma’am.” I said. “I don’t have too much for a donation, just 300 yuan. Could I just donate this?”
Mrs. Tawreen smiled: “Wow, 300 yuan, my dear? Well, (H)I have to tell you that, of all the donations we’ve received from our students so far, it’s the largest amount. And yes, you may donate right now.”
I put the notes into the donation box. Maybe my brother and I would have to miss a few meals this month, but it would make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate(幸运的) than us.

Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking.
Educators (教育家) call it "automaticity (自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With more and more practice, he stumbles less and less. As a result, he can read by the phrases and soon by sentences. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so that he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 t0 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
【小题1】"Reading is the key to school success" means that reading_______.
A.helps school develop faster |
B.is a key to a successful school |
C.helps students go to a key school |
D.can improve students' learning results |
A.know how to read the words |
B.pay attention to the meaning of the text instead of the words |
C.read by themselves without any help |
D.do not have to think while reading |
A.结结巴巴地读 | B.全神贯注地读 |
C.心不在焉地读 | D.声情并茂地读 |
A.IQ is the Key- to the Automaticity |
B.TV is Bad for Children's Reading |
C.Automaticity Needs a Lot of Practice |
D.Automatic Readers Must Be Successful |

Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it’s a very dangerous sport that people should be careful about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned by the water below—this could not be further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph (miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very important.
Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never dive because a diver’s body position at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety. Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves.
Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive. To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical. This is safer because it makes the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress on the body.
Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good idea, they actually increase the force of impact because they increase the surface area of the diver at impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver’s body and can lead to broken bones. Without a doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go.
Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person’s physical and mental skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What’s more, a person should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive.
【小题1】What does “this could not be further from the truth” mean?
A.There’s no doubt that this idea is definitely true. |
B.This idea is thought to be completely wrong. |
C.It depends on the real situation on the spot. |
D.Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not. |
A.Because wearing shoes can put more weight on to the diver |
B.Because wearing shoes can cause the diver to feel uncomfortable |
C.Because wearing shoes can make the point of contact bigger |
D.Because wearing shoes can certainly lead to broken bones |
A.well-prepared and skillful | B.professional and strong |
C.creative and smarty | D.confident and brave |
