One day a lady who was riding in a coach saw a boy on the road without wearing any shoes and was seemingly very painful.She asked the coachman to take him up,and said she would pay for him.
When the coach reached the end of its journey,the kind lady found that the poor boy was going to the nearest sea port,trying to find a job as a sailor.
Twenty years afterwards,on the same road,a sea captain who was on a coach saw an old lady walking tiredly along,and he made the coachman pull up his horses.He put the old lady inside,saying,“I’ll pay for her.” Feeling thankful,the old lady said,“I am too poor to pay for a ride now.
You are such a kind man!”
The captain told her that he always felt sorry for those who had to walk as she had been doing;then he added,“I remember,twenty years ago,near this very place,I was a poor boy walking along the road,and a kind lady paid for me to ride.”
“Ah,” she said,“I am that lady! But things have changed with me since then.”
“Well,” said the captain,“I have made a fortune.I’m rich now and have come home to enjoy it. I will allow you twenty-five pounds a year as long as you live.” The old lady burst into tears,and gratefully accepted the sailor’s offer.

The lady had thrown her bread upon the waters and was rewarded (奖赏) with more bread.She had done a kind act to a poor boy; and,after many years,he in return was able to do her a great kindness.

One Bite at a Time
One summer day when I was heading for the teaching building, I met Philip, one of my colleagues ( 同 事 ), who worked in the same office with me. Beside him stood another young man. Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen. He told me that Stephen would take one of my classes Introduction to American History. Stephen asked if my class was going to be hard. I felt he was worried about failing before the opening day of classes. We talked about what the class would cover and I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.
Then I remembered a classical dialogue: Question: “How do you eat an elephant?” Answer: “One bite at a time.”
I told him to deal with his work that way — to do all his assignment (作业) and to hand them in on time. I added that most successful students I knew made a timetable in order to plan their study well.
As time went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had difficulty in study when he was in the middle school. Family members, including his mother, kept telling him that he was a failure. He told me that before coming to our college no one had believed he had much potential (潜力).
Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignment on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course he began to build up bit of self-respect.
Every time I saw him, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” He told his friends that he was succeeding when he was supposed to be failing. His secret, he said, was that he was practising what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”
1.What is the relationship between the writer and Stephen?
A.Father and son. B.Teacher and student.
C.Classmates. D.Colleagues.
2.To plan their study well, most successful students .
A.made a timetable B.chose many courses
C.asked teachers questions D.took notes carefully
3.Stephen’s story mainly tells us that .
A.it is hard to pass courses in college B.we all need good luck to make a success
C.bad things can turn out to be good sometimes D.taking one bite at a time can help students succeed

4., after I passed him, I realized that I missed my turn. I went nearly six blocks (街区) past it and had to turn around and go back.
Isn’t it just like life? We often focus on (集中注意力于) competing with others, trying to show that we are better than them. We spend our time and energy 5. after them and we miss out on our own road in life.
The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’s a never-ending cycle (循环). There will always be 6.ahead of you. So stay focused and live a healthy life. Run your own race and wish others well. There is no need to always 7.others.
