Can the Time Go Slower?
Can the time go slower?
I’m still thinking of
The answers.
Can the time go slower?
My head is not
Yet clear.
Can the time go slower?
For me the rules of math are
Too hard to remember.
Can the time go slower?

Really cares about.

Oh! NO!
There are still lots of questions
To be answered!

We were doing the best to control the fire of the burning garage. Outside, I heard the sounds of cats crying. I couldn’t stop- I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.
It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage. There, crying and huddled together, were five frightened kittens . They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.
I wanted to find the mother cat. It was obviously that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by one----unbelievable.
We finally found her. Her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. You could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. She could hardly move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.
The veterinarian told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they weren’t confident about the about the mother’s chances.
About a week later, I found out she was going to live. We named her Scarlet because of her reddened skin.
I was happy to see Scarlet get together with the kittens again. She touched each of them, nose to nose. She had risked her life five times-and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.
As a firefighter, I see heroic acts every day. But what Scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.

A．Because he was amazed at the mother cat’s courage.

B．Because the cats attracted many people’s attention.

C．Because he didn’t want to see any living things die .

D．Because it had taken him much time and effort to save them.

小题3:The writer talks about the cat’s story to show that____.

A．animals should be taken good care of.

B．mother’s love can be great and brave.

C．it is meaningful to help others .

One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!
小题1:What does the word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?

A．break	B．change
C．win	D．Complain

小题2:What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?

A．Holding peace and quiet in mind.	B．Waiting until sufferings disappear.
C．Experiencing more bad times.	D．Hoping for a better tomorrow.

小题3:What would be the best title of this passage?

A．Memories of Bamboo	B．Be Like Bamboo
C．Enjoying Bamboo	D．Characteristics of Bamboo

True friends are hard to find. Often you thought you could believe in someone, b小题1:later he or she may let you down (让你失望).
A true friend is someone who will always be there for you. Through good times or b小题2:times, they will stand by your side. They will not l小题3:you alone when things get difficult. They will accept you i小题4:of trying to change you. A friend will b小题5:new and exciting things into your life and make it richer.
True friends will be honest and you can always b小题6:in them. If you talk to someone who you believe in, you don’t have to w小题7:about what you may say. We can enjoy this freedom only with friends.
Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend and keep the friendship b小题8:you, you must do the same thing as well. Be there for your friends when they are in n小题9:and share the good times with them. Offer them the same things they give to you.
You will find that there is nothing more valuable t小题10:having a true friend by your side to share life with, just as someone says, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized (珍惜) than true friendship”.
