on the grass by the roadside. He was breathing(呼吸) really    7  . I asked if he was OK. He said he was    8   tired to walk anymore. I thought he needed some    9  . So I began to look for some clean water.    40  , there weren’t any places to get water in    11   a nature park. I walked back to my car    12  

to see if there was some. Because I sometimes bring bottled water and leave    13  

in my car. Thankfully, I found some today.

Instead of (代替) drinking it myself, I drove back to the man and gave him my bottle of water. Then I gave him a    14   back to his car. He was so thankful! I could tell he was very happy and surprised that someone was    15   to come back for him and give him some water. And also, I was very happy that I could share my water with others.

A kind of little cars may some day take the place of today’s cars. If everyone drives such cars in the future，there will be less pollution from the cars. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities，and the streets will be less crowded. Three such cars can park in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.

The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer，too，as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city，but they will not be useful for long trips. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas(汽油).

If big cars are still used along with the small ones，two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the big，quick cars and other roads will be needed for the slower，smaller ones.

Long long ago, a young man found a spring of delicious clean water while he was going through the desert. He brought some back to the oldest man in his village, who had been his teacher before. After a four-day journey he sent the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village happily. The next day, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It went bad because it had stayed in the old leather container(皮革容器) for so many days in such hot weather. The student asked his teacher why he pretended(假装) to like the awful water. The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for love and kindness. And nothing could be sweeter than these."

　　I think we understand this lesson best when we receive small gifts of love from very young kids. Whether it's a slice of bread or a piece of colored paper, the natural and right response(反应) is to show our thanks and happiness because we get love from the gift.

　 To show our thanks doesn't always come naturally. Unfortunately, most children and many adults only see the thing itself. They never feel the meaning of the thing. We should tell ourselves and teach our children about showing thanks and happiness to the persons who give the gifts from their hearts because gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

1.Where did the young man find the water?

A．In a spring.        B．In a river.          C．In a lake.          D．In a village.

2.How long did the water stay in the old leather container?

A．Six days.          B．Five days.          C．Four days.         D．Three days.

3.What does the word “replied” mean?

A．smiled            B．cried             C．answered         D．got angry

4.According to the passage, what is the right response when we get gifts from others?

A．We eat it up at once.

B．We only see the thing itself.

C．We think about the meaning of the bread.

D．We usually show our thanks and happiness naturally.

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

A．We should never receive anything from others.

B．We should show thanks and happiness when we get the gifts from the heart.

C．We should pretend to love the things given by others all the time.

D．We should give gifts from our hearts.

Dear Ronny,

　　Years ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how could you do so   1.  in your life? You're still active to your life, but I'm already tired of   2. for my life. How can I get the same thing that you've got?"

　　I didn't know what to say to you. But when I know there are few days left for me, I tell   3.  that I should give you an answer. So here is what I believe.

First, you should know that life is filled(充满) with   4. , and many of them are good ones. If you don't keep your eyes   5. , you'll miss a number of good surprises in your life.　　

　　When you meet challenges, don’t run away, just welcome them. They'll make you stronger,   6.  and cleverer than you were before. When you do something wrong, you should be thankful for the things it gave you. And then, you should use this lesson to help you   7.  your dream come true. It's also important to decide what you want. Then keep your dream , work hard for it, and be ready to receive it. It will come true more quickly.

　　And always follow the rules, even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life will work well.   8.  you think you can live without the rules, you're only fooling(愚弄) yourself.

　　There will be more chances   9.  you are growing up. So you have to be brave enough to move from a known place to an unknown place. Life isn't just like climbing one mountain. It is also a part of your life to move   10.  one top to the next. If you rest for a too long time, you may fail at last. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the fight in your life.

　　The person that can win is the one who wants to win.

Love always,

　　Grandpa
