    In my living room, there is a plaque(匾) that advises me to “Bloom(开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s，when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.

    Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.

    From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom(忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with  a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.

    Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.

    1.“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph I refers to ________．

    A. a course given by the author

    B. an organization sponsored by Union College

    C. a program directed by Dorothy

    D. an activity held by the students

    2.Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by ________．

    A. the sight of poke greens

    B. a warm welcome

    C. Dorothy's latest projects

    D. a big dinner made for her

    3.What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?

    A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.

    B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.

    C. She received her Ph.

    D. degree.

    4.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

    A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.

    B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment

    C. However poor you are, you have the right to education.

    D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.

    Those who are used to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza, Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.

    Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with his two friends, to establish a unique bookstore with the idea of “A Single Room, A Single Book.”

    Like its offering, the bookstore is simple. The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants. Morioka has also chosen books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and Akito Akagi.

    To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever methods. For example，when selling a book about flowers, he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore!

    Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it. Things can get better considering that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries.

    1.What inspired Morioka to open such a bookstore?

    A. A Swedish novel B. His present partner

    C. A bookstore clerk D. His working experience

    2.Why is Morioka Shoten unique?

    A. It is popular with foreigners .

    B. It sells books of different topics.

    C. It is decorated with colorful flowers.

    D. It sells various copies of a book in a week.

    3.Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?

    A. To introduce his bookstore.

    B. To advocate his philosophy.

    C. To make books better understood.

    D. To help readers connect with each other.

    4.What’s the author’s opinion about the bookstore’s future?

    A. Risky B. Optimistic

    C. Unpredictable D. Hopeless

    One year ago, I was in great trouble. I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to learn it. But I failed to pass the mid-term examination, which made me great disappointed. So I asked my grandpa for help when I got to home. Hearing that I told him, he said, “Examination results are sometime unexpected by your study level. You can’t judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged myself to work hard for a long time to check my results. I took my grandpa’s advices. Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is more better than before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen opinions from old people.

    I have a Rewards Card for Showcase Cinema that allows me to earn rewards points with each purchase that I make at the theatre and periodically provides me with a free popcorn, soda or movie ticket coupon(优惠券). I had recently accumulated enough rewards points to obtain a coupon for a free popcorn.

    Standing in the movie theatre ticket line on Saturday, I noticed just ahead of me, a father with his 2 small boys also waiting to buy their tickets for the Matinee Movie. Knowing that movies can be quite expensive for families nowadays, I tapped the Dad on the shoulder and asked, “I have a coupon for free popcorn and don’t plan to use it, would you like it for one of your boys?” He said, “Yeah, sure. That’s great! Thanks!” and took the coupon.

    A few minutes later, after they had purchased their tickets, one of his small sons who appeared to be about 9 or 10 years old, walked up to me and silently held out a shiny penny to show me. I took it and said, “Wow that’s cool! It’s really shiny!” He quietly replied, “It’s a 2011”.

    As I handed it back to him. He pushed the penny towards me once again and quietly said, “You can keep it”. Showing my gratitude, I replied, “Wow that’s awesome, thank you very much” and asked, “Where did you get it!” and he said quite softly, “I found it in my Dad’s car”. I said, “Oh that’s cool, thanks!” He smiled, quietly turned and walked back to his Dad who returned my smile with a knowing smile of his own.
