How do you feel about your looks? Is it important to have a beautiful face? Are there other things that can make a person special? The way you look is special. Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look-our own face.

Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or strange. But our differences are what make us special.

I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. He was born with a strange-looking face. His mother always worried that he would face many difficulties in life. But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little. Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him. But he didn't care at all. He decided to accept his face and feel confident (自信的) in himself. He has made a decision to live an amazing life.

It's hard when you feel like you don't look "normal" or "perfect". But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.

根据短文内容，判断下列各句正（T）、误（F）。

1.According to the writer, all of us look a little different. _____

2.The writer recently watched a speech by Robert Hoge's mother. _____

3.Hoge's mother used to worry that he would face many difficulties in life. _____

4.When strangers made fun of him, Hoge lost his confidence. _____

5.The writer tries to tell us that we are special no matter what we look like. _____

Sometimes, I doubt whether there is any love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money. They don’t act romantically the way couples do in books and on TV. They never say: “I love you.” It’s not their style.

One day, my mother was sewing (缝) a quilt (被子). I sat down beside her.

“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.

“What?” she asked while still working.

“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her.

She didn’t answer right away.

I thought I had hurt her.

“Susan, look at this thread (线),” she said finally. “Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt strong. If life was a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere, but it’s still important.”

The next spring, my father suddenly got very sick. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

After they got back, she helped my father walk slowly down the road every day. My father had never been so fragile (脆弱的).

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.

“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. “I just like walking with your mom.”

Once, I thought love meant flowers and gifts. Now, I know that love is the thread that holds a family together.

1.How did the writer’s parents appear to act at first?

A.They often argued with each other.

I grew up poor-living in a big family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and a wonderful mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.

My dream was sports. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour baseball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One-special incident（事件）with him changed-my life forever.

It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and I was offered a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket—money for dates with girls, money for a new bike, new clothes, and I could begin to save money for a house for my mother.

Then I realized, to do that work, I would have to give up summer baseball training. When I told coach Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work." he said, "Your time for playing isn`t long. You can't afford to waste it”.

I stood before him with my head banging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.

"How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he asked.

"Three point five an hour." I replied.

"Well," he asked, "is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?"

That simple question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal for the future. I practiced hard that summer, and within the year I was chosen by a famous team to play baseball, and was offered $ 20,000 a year.

Later, I was given a baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona, which led me to an education. In 1984, I began to play the Denver Bronces for $ 1.7 million a year, And Certainly, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

In some parts of Holland the land lies so low that the people have to build great walls of sand and earth, to keep out the sea. These walls are called dykes(堤坝).

Sometimes the water from the sea break down these walls, and then the sea rushes in through the beach, and spreads over the land.

Houses and trees, cows and sheep, have been thus washed away, and many people drowned(溺水).

Once, when a little boy was going home in the evening, he saw a hole in one of the dykes, through which the water was flowing(流出）.

His father had often told him that when this happened, unless the water was stopped it would soon make the bole so big that the sea would flow over the land.

At first he thought he would run home and tell his father. But then he said to himself," It may be dark before father can come, and we shall not be able to find the hole again. Or it may get so large that it will be too late to stop it. I must stay now, and do the best I can alone.

The brave little boy sat down, and put his hand in the hole, to keep back the water. There he stayed, hour after hour, in the cold and the dark, all through the night!

In the morning, a man came past and saw him. He could not think what the boy there. So he called out to him, “What are you doing there, my boy?”

“There is a hole in the dyke,” said the boy,“ and I am keeping back the water.”

The pilot, Antoine De Saint-Exupery, who wrote The Little Prince, died long ago, but the fictional pilot, who told the story, is as alive today as he was many years ago, along with his Prince, the fox, the rose and the snake.

This timeless tale touches upon childhood and growing up. It opens with the reminder: All grown-ups were once children—but few of them remember it. The pilot in this story loses that part of himself. After a stay in the desert with the little prince, he finds his inner child again. It is a simple story with life lessons. Here are some.

One only understands the things that one tames (驯服). Seeing the thousands of roses that look just like his rose makes the prince feel as if he was tricked by his flower. The fox shows him taming someone takes time. The prince understands the nature of relationships: the time he has wasted on his rose makes her so important.

The fox, as his parting gift, shares his secret with the prince: “One can see rightly with the heart. What is essential (very important and necessary) is invisible (not be seen) to the eye. ” When the pilot shows his picture about the snake eating the elephant, adults only see it as a hat. Adults can’t see what’s inside the snake. What is on the surface is not what matters. This truth sets the little prince free. He decides to join his rose back on his planet.

Has he returned to his planet and his rose? The ending exists in the imagination of every reader as well as the pilot. After all, it is a book with something for everyone.
