A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbour. Within a few days the whole neighbourhood knew the story. The neighbour was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible (负责) for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm. 
“Go to the marketplace,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck (拔) its feathers and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. 
The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.” 
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. 
“You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”
| A.happy about | B.angry about | C.sorry for | D.excited about | 
| A.The gossip didn’t hurt anyone at all. | 
| B.The wise man was not kind enough. | 
| C.The woman found all the feathers at last. | 
| D.The woman was given a lesson. | 
| A.覆水难收 | B.无中生有 | C.欲速不达 | D.得道多助 | 
We all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others.
Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories.
Spencer Johnson’s story Who Moved My Cheese? shows changes exist in(存在于)our life. Life changes and so we do. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail.
Just look at the cycle(循环)of the seasons. Trees bud(发芽)in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter comes, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. Since we know there are cycles in nature, we can prepare for them. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.
Since we accept the cycles of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life.
We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible(灵活的). We can regard the changes in our life as chances. As we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life.
| A.changes exist in our life | 
| B.we should move others’ things | 
| C.we should use books to share our life experiences | 
| D.there are difficulties in our life | 
| A.we should wear warm clothes in winter | 
| B.we should accept the changes in our life | 
| C.we should prepare for the weather | 
| D.leaves turn yellow in autumn | 
| A.I have no chance to pass the test. | 
| B.Exams are hard for me. | 
| C.I have bad luck. | 
| D.It’s good for me because I know there are more to learn. | 
| A.Weather changes in different seasons. | 
| B.Who Moved My Cheese? is a good book. | 
| C.We should change ourselves when life changes. | 
| D.We should not lose heart when we meet with difficulties. | 
Barack and Michelle Obama have two daughters: Malia, born in 1998, and Sasha, born in 2001. Before his inauguration, President Obama published an open letter to his daughters in Parade magazine, describing what he wants them and every child in America “to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world.”
While living in Chicago, they kept busy schedules. Soccer, dance and drama for Malia, gymnastics and tap for Sasha, piano and tennis for both. Malia and Sasha attended the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. The Obama girls began classes there on January 5, 2009. In his victory speech on the night of his election, President Obama repeated his promise to Sasha and Malia to get a dog to take with them to the White House. On April 12, 2009, it was reported that the Obamas had adopted a six-month-old Portuguese water dog given to them as a gift. The dog was named Bo by Malia and Sasha.
Though Malia and Sasha Obama are the president's kids, it doesn't mean they'll be catered to. The girls are still required to do their chores. Besides bed-making, Malia and Sasha must clean up their rooms and keep on top of their homework. The Obamas want their girls to grow up in a “normal” way.
| A.Sasha is two years older than Malia. | 
| B.Sasha is three years older than Malia. | 
| C.Sasha is two years younger than Malia. | 
| D.Sasha is three years younger than Malia. | 
| A.a cat | B.a dog | C.a horse | D.a doll | 
| A.soccer and dance | B.gymnastics and tap | 
| C.piano and tennis | D.dance and piano | 
| A.To do some housework. | B.To grow up in a different way | 
| C.To do their homework well. | D.To achieve their dreams. | 
| A.Obama wants every child in America happy. | 
| B.Bo was six months old when it was taken into the White House. | 
| C.Malia and Sasha are the students of Sidwell Friends School. | 
| D.Obama published an open letter to his daughters in the newspaper. | 
Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination(决心). A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
 One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt(尝试) at something new, so we should not feel disappointed (失望)and should try again. Besides(此外,而且), if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
 Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson (教训)that we learned is wasted.
 Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us improve our lives. If we never challenge (挑战)ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
 In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Further more, if we give up, we have no chance of achieving our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed in the future.
Topic: Never Give Up
