A blind(盲人) boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up(举起) a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins (硬币) in the hat. A man walked by. He put a few coins into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words. Soon the hat started to fill up(装满). That afternoon the man who had changed(改变) the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized(认出)his footsteps(脚步)and asked: "Were you the one who changed(改变) my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said: "I only wrote the truth.(真相) I said what you said but in a different way." His words were "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign said the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign only told people to put some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they could enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it, because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded(提醒)people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least(至少) two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

Many students feel it difficult to remember new words when they begin to study English. Now I will give you some advice. 1. Do not waste(浪费) time in learning a list(词汇) of English words. It is the hardest way to remember English words. How do you learn to speak Chinese? You did it by listening carefully to the people talking to each other.

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so many years went by.
【小题1】The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________.

A.escape in it
B.get to the other side of the island[
C.use it for food
D.go around the island
【小题2】To survive, the writer _____________.
A.kept goats for milk
B.made clothes from animal skins
C.worked in the cornfields
D.did all the above
【小题3】Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe?
A.Because it was too small for a long journey.
B.Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.
C.Because there was something wrong with it.
D.Because the writer was busy building a second house.
【小题4】From the story, we can learn that _____________.
A.the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the island
B.the writer had nothing to do on the wild island
C.the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failed
D.the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to have a rest or to stay with their family.
Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty (责任) to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the USA, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy."
