My dad was a son of a poor farmer and had to leave school early and worked in a factory. Education was for the rich at that time. So the world became his school He read everything he could get, listen to the town elders and learned about the words outside his tiny town. He usually said. "Though were born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. " He decided that none of his children would refuse an education.

So Dad asked us to learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, we all followed the request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned.

“ Felecia,”　 he 'd say, "tell me what you learned today. "

“I learned that the population of Nepal is..."

“The population of Nepal. Hmm, well…" he'd say. “Get the map and let’s see where Nepal is. "And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.

This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least six such facts.

As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together and taking part in one another’s education. And by listening to us and giving us a sense(尊严) , Dad no doubt influenced us most.

Later, I studied with some famous educators. They taught what I had learnt from Dad---the value of continual learning. And this has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been was though I can never tell whether knowing the population of Nepal might be really useful.

Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers.

The first story is from Ray. "My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to?' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."

The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird-a wild 'Mom' cockatoo（鹦鹉）from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo. 'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily."

After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should respect every life in the world.

1.________ is the owner of the cat.

A.Becky B.Julius C.Colin D.Ray

A.phone B.cat C.iPad D.bed

3."Mom" cockatoo didn't return to the wild because ________.

A.Julius caught it as a pet B.she was badly hurt and couldn't fly

C.she preferred the life in the cage D."Dad" cockatoo built a home in the tree

4.The main idea of the passage is that ________.

A.Ray, Becky and Colin are animal lovers B.we shouldn't use iPad too much

C.friends should help each other D.we should respect every life in the world

5.In which part of a newspaper would you probably read the passage?

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!

1.When did the writer want to take a part-time job?

A.When he decided to buy his mother a louse.

B.When he graduated from junior high school.

C.When he found it difficult to play baseball well

D.When he thought his big family was too poor

2.Whom should the writer thank most for his success?

A.His coach B.His mother. C.His himself. D.His teammates

3.By writing the article, the writer tries to tell us that _________.

A.to buy a house for his family is the dream of most young people

B.trying to become a sport star is the easiest way to realize a dream

C.something we want now often has to give away to a long term long goal

D.to succeed without help from others is impossible for the young

4.What can be a proper title for the text?

A.Part-time Job B.A House for Mom

C.A Strict Coach D.A Priceless Dream
