One day, Susie was unhappy when she came home from school. “What’s the matter, my dear?” asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling.

“All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I’ll have to go to school without a composition, for I won’t copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.”

“That’s right,” said her mother. “You’ll be happier with a poor composition, if it’s your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I’ll call you in half an hour. Don’t think about your composition now. Just have a good time.”

It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise.

Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. “Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we’ll talk about that later.”

Although Susie thought her mother’s request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested.

As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. “Oh, mother, what a sunset!”

“Don’t talk. Just write.”

The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!

Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, “Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?”

“Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I’ve never thought of it once. I’ve had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window.”

Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, “There, Susie, that’s a very nice composition, really.”

“A composition! Is that a composition?” Susie asked in surprise.

“Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it,” replied her mother. Then she added, “I’m sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it’s easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about.”

1.Susie was unhappy when she came home because _____.

A. she was punished by her teacher

B. she couldn’t write a composition

C. she forgot to take her composition home

D. she didn’t get on well with her classmates

2.From the story we can know Susie’s mother _____.

A. had never understood her daughter

B. had never talked with Susie’s teacher

C. knew how to write a good composition

D. wrote the composition for her daughter

3.The title of Susie’s composition might be _____.

A. My Helpful Clever Mother　　 B. The Beautiful Sights at Sunset

C. How to Please Your Teacher　　 D. How to Have a Pleasant Time

4.What might happen the next morning?

A. Susie’s classmates would laugh at her.

One morning, I was driving my father to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

"It's magic (魔法)." my father said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn't magic.

But now, I know he was at least right in some way.

Flying might not be magic, but it's certainly magical. What it brings to our lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially (尤其) I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, " You know you're growing-up when you no longer want a window seat."

Too often in these years, I've asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonder (奇观) of travelling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi's not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger (乘客) behind me wouldn't stop talking. "The clouds!" he kept saying. Look at the clouds!

I turned around,and saw two men,one seemed to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat went on for 20 minutes until,not patiently,I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed close enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colours, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and enjoy them for the rest of the flight.

I don't remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I've never forgotten those clouds.

1.Why did the writer's father say "It's magic." ?

A.He was excited by what he saw.

B.He seldom saw planes flying.

C.He was wondering how it happened.

D.He was joking with his son.

2.How did the writer feel when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?

A.Unhappy. B.Excited C.Interested. D.Nervous

3.The writer wrote this article to 　　　　 .

A.tell readers how planes fly in the air

B.advise readers to look up at planes from time to time

C.tell readers to enjoy the beauty around them

D.show views from planes are better than that on the ground

4.Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A.Is It a Wonder? B.Is It Magic?

C.What Soft Clouds! D.What a Strange Flight!
