　　Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of ears．One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman．Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box．

　　Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy．He could also see several large fish in the boat．Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish．“Just a few hours, ” replied Pablo．Martin asked, “Why didn't you stay longer and catch more fish? ” “I have enough for my family, ” Pablo said．“And what do you do with the rest of your day? ” asked Martin．“I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life．” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money．With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish．By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets．

　　“Then what? ” asked Pablo．“Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business．Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars, ” replied Martin．“How long will that take? ” asked Pablo．

　　Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years．

　　“And then what” asked Pablo．

　　“Well, that's the best part, ” Martin said．“You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards．”

阅读下列材料，从各题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

　　Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College．He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的)kindness．His students did not understand the homework and didn't know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions．He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves．

　　One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories．One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless．Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend．Students were energized(给予活力)by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too．With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others．They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind-not surprising as Professor Wall is blind．

　　Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world．Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13^th, to celebrate World Kindness Day．Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity．Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place．

　　This March, the H7N9 virus(病毒)hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and so on．It seemed that most people who were infected(被感染)with H7N9 had the common flu．Some people suffered from a fever or a cough．

　　Don't be afraid-it's not easy to be infected with the virus．Here is some advice to help you protect yourself when it comes．

　　Wash your hands．You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses．

　　Cover your nose and mouth．When someone sneezes(打喷嚏)or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you'd better stand a proper distance(距离)while talking to someone who has a cold．And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands．

　　Wear a mask(口罩)．Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80％, but if you don't wash your hands often, it's no use wearing a mask．And it's necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people．

　　Do sports often．Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist the virus．

　　We spend hours, days and years of our lives in school．Imagine(想象)you could design(设计)your dream school, what would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought．Here is what they said：

　　Richard from the USA：My dream school would have a big swimming pool and two soccer fields．It would also have a cinema, a gym and a shopping centre．My school has none of these, and I think there should be more pleasant things for students to do while they are studying．

　　Sonia from Italy：I'd like a room where we can relax and play computer games．I'd also like to have a music room．I think there should be a place for everyone to go and relax after class．

　　Wu from Beijing：I think it would be great to have another day off(休息日)every week, besides the weekend．If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week．What fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o’clock, and finish earlier．

　　Hannah from Australia：In my dream school, I think the teachers should give us more freedom(自由)and choice about how we study and what we study．I also think it's not necessary for us to wear school uniforms every day．I really don't like wearing it．

　　You can reach almost any goal if you want to-but sometimes it takes great efforts to realize your dream．

　　That was quite true for me．When I was 17 years old，I broke my father's 　　1　　．He had saved enough from an average income to send me to college to become a lawyer．Three months later I was home telling him that I had left college-and for the first time I saw him 　　2　　．

　　“Son，I'm always going to love you even though you'll never achieve anything，’’he said with tears(眼泪)in his eyes．

　　When I walked out of that room，I was burning with something within my body．Not everyone has the chance to feel it．I did not just want to 　　3　　-I had to．

　　But I couldn't see how to do it and all the time my father's words were in my mind．I become a salesperson．It was not 　　4　　 because I knew almost nothing about marketing．

　　Then a man introduced me to the Edwards training course．I went and learned a lot of useful 　　5　　．I tried my best to put them to work．Soon after that，I started tasting the sweet fruits of Success for the first time．

　　Dear Liz，

　　My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life．

　　Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city．There are Mr．and Mrs．Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．

　　I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda．The school teaches about 70 percent in English，and 30 percent in Thai．I've learned some spoken language，but Thai writing is very difficult．The cooking lesson is my favourite．I'm learning all about Thai food and culture People don't use chopsticks here，but spoons and forks．When I come back，I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal．

　　Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next，we’re going to travel to Mr．Phairat，s hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they have two elephants．I'm going to ride those elephants-and even wash them．Sanan and Chinda say it's really fun．

　　I'm amazed by everything in this country，especially by the elephants．Elephants are an important pan of Thai culture and way of life．They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace．In the seventh century，a Thai king trained 20，000 elephants for battle．

　　I'll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳击)lessons next time I write．

Love,

Mandy

　　Jack walked up to the woman and said, “Hello．Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while? ”

　　“Of course, please sit down, ”Sue said．

　　Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together．

　　Put 2 February in your diary! It is World Wetlands Day! It marks the date that the

　　Convention(公约)on Wetlands was signed(签署)in1971．This special day was first celebrated in 1997 and it is celebrated every year．

　　The celebration is a call for action．It is a way to show people how important and

　　useful the wetlands are for people．On World Wetlands Day, people around the world take part in many wetlands activities．People take trips to the local wetlands．There are talks about how important the wetlands are．People get together to clean up their local wetlandsChildren draw pictures to advertise the day．People also compete(比赛)in boat races．

　　The World Wetlands Day is important! If there are no wetlands, there will be no water for anyone in the future．Wetlands help protect nature and resources(资源)like fresh water．Already, more than 10000 million people in the world do not have fresh water．

　　Many people do not know how important the wetlands are．They can understand why an elephant or a tiger is important because they are big, beautiful animals．It is much harder for them to understand how important the animals in the wetlands are．These small animals, such as frogs and snails, play a very important part in keeping the balance of nature．

　　All plants and animals are part of the food chain(链)．If the small wetlands animals die, some animals in the food chain will have nothing to eat．They will also die．People need the wetlands to keep the balance of nature in the world．If we do not protect nature today，it will be gone tomorrow．
