    “Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.”
    After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer(播音员). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.
    I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
    As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
    I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!
    On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: “Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.”

    试题分析：“一切总会好的”母亲无论发生什么事都对我说。“别担心,有一天你的运气会改变。”妈妈是对的，因为我发现，在我完成我的大学教育。我决定试着在电台找个事儿做。我想主持体育项目。我去了芝加哥，但是我被拒绝了。在我回家的路上，想起妈妈对我说的话，“有一天，你的运气会改变，儿子。当它发生时，它会感觉加倍的好，因为所有的努力工作你已做到。”那一刻，我知道她是什么意思。最后经过努力终于找到了工作。

    Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:
    "A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost un-bearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home.
    Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father——just two lines:
    "Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars."
    The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.
    She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it.
    The desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart  to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.
    A change of attitude could change everything.
    After reading the article, I was deep in thought (陷入沉思)…
    小题1:At first, the woman          the life with her husband in the desert.
    A．could stand.B．could accept.

    ★How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?
    ★ Do I have a good place to do my homework?
    ★ Have I tried different ways of studying?
    If your worry is about a fight you had, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

    On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
    I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”

    Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.  Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests.  They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.
    Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem.  Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!  As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America.  They paid $25 per acre.  The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.
    So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river.  They saw alligators and crocodiles.  In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest.  “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.  They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.
    Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture.  During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities.  They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.
    Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.
    小题1:How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?
    A．$25B．$75C．$80D．$2000
