It was never able to fly.
The boy acted with       but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of      out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be      to fly.

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.
In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.
Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.                      He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”                                                                         
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.            
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”                   
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.                                                          
小题1:What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?                                   
A.Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B.She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D.Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
小题2:Why did her father listen to her quietly?                                          
A.Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B.Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D.Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
小题3:Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?                          
A.Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C.My Father
D.My Childhood

Happiness is for everyone, and you don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with         and swimming pools or those who have nice cars         a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often         lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are  in         at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always         good care of your life and your health; when you get        , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to         it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel        , too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always         you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are        , you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to         yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes: Life is like a revolving(转动的)door. When it        , it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then        ? Here is an example.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something        about how he grew it. The farmer      his seed(做种子的) corn to his neighbors.
"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked.  "You know they are taking part in the       with you each year. "
"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The      picks up pollen {花粉)from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field.

The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve      his neighbor's corn improves.
As a great man says, "We make a living by what we       ; we make a life by what we give." We can't      without food, clothes, and many other things.

One morning, a blind* boy sat in front of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign* which said,“I am blind. Please help me. There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps* and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
    Special low prices on all clothes  
 
LIST PRICE标价
SALE PRICE卖价
Shoes
$48
$32
Skirt
$180
$95
Coat
$420

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty* of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure*what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.
小题1:On the sign what the man wrote was,“_______.”
A.Treasure what we have already had.
B.Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.
C.We are so lucky that we are not blind.
D.Try your best to help those who need your help.
小题2:The word“recognized”here in Chinese means______.
A.承认B.接受
C.表扬D.认出
小题3:From the passage we know that _____.
A.the boy always has a hat on his head.
B.the man is one of his friends.
C.the boy is blind and needs help.
D.the boy works for the man.
小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The hat began to fill up after the man wrote some words on the sign.
B.The man took away all the few coins from the hat.
C.The boy wanted to get enough money to go to school.
D.Nobody wanted to give any coins to the blind boy.
