    Make the right choices

    What is life’s greatest gift?1.Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt (雕刻)our life. The tool doesn’t come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.2.The reward is happiness.

    Life is not still. It is a flow.3.We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.

    4.And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.

    A. It is free will or choice

    B. You have to make choices every day

    C. Make the best moves you can under the circumstances

    D. But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return

    E. Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals

    F. Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get

    G. Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to

    I took my 9-year-old daughter, Suzan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping centre. As we got there，we saw a big sign that said, “Petting Zoo”. The kids jumped up and asked, “Daddy, can we go?”

    Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, “Sure”, giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.

    A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场)pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.

    A few minutes later, I saw Suzan walking along behind me, I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

    She said sadly, “Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter.” Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭), which is “Love is Action!”

    Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only do the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.

    Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.

    “It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.

    Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags(拉杆包).

    But even with rolling bags, getting upstairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs or necks because of the heavy school bags.

    But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.

    Scott Bautch, a doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.

    Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

    One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!

    1.From the passage we can know that .

    A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags

    B. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

    C. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags

    D. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags

    2.If a child carries a heavy school bag, .

    A. his back or neck will be hurt B. his head and arms will be hurt

    C. his hands will be hurt D. his feet will be hurt

    3.According to Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over ________.

    A. 5 kilos B. 3 kilos

    C. 5.5 kilos D. 4.5 kilos

    4.Some students think the best answer to this problem is that .

    A. they should have a little homework to do after they get home

    B. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework

    C. they should only take home library books they will read that night

    D. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick ones
