A wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning.
One day, when he was walking along the shore（海岸）, he saw a young man moving like a
dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
He called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man stopped, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide（潮汐）is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted（赋予）
with the ability to make a difference.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
1.What was the wise man used to doing every morning?
A．Taking a walk on the shore.
B．Watching the young man dance.
C．Meeting up with the young man.
D．Helping the young man pick up starfish.
2.Why did the young man throw the starfish into the ocean?
A．To have fun.
B．To study starfish.
C．To feed some fish.
D．To save starfish.
3.What can we learn from the story?
A．Each of us should learn to protect starfish.
B．People living on the shore always try to save starfish.
C．Each of us has the ability to make an important effect on something.
D．People can come up with some good ideas when walking on the shore.

All the wisdom of the times, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books, but we must know how to make use of this treasure. The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
I’m very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people I’ve met could only be found in a writer’s imagination, then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends and new worlds.
Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writer’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate(分开的), in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related(相关的) ones, appear in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解决方法) according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on(专注于) books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won’ t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t suffer during the process.
1.Which of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?
A．You will never meet amazing people in your life unless you read.
B．You think actively instead of getting facts passively（被动地）when reading.
C．You will get much delight from any book that you are told to read.
D．You can relax yourself by reading because it involves little thinking.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A．We can often find something connected with ourselves in books.
B．Different writings at different times share the same characteristics.
C．The same problems will appear in different books with similar solutions.
D．Reading books which are written for your generation is more helpful to you.
3.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?
A．To advise us to enjoy ourselves by reading.
B．To encourage us to make full use of libraries.
C．To encourage us to find out solutions in books.
D．To advise us to discuss books with other people.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt.

For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters.
