When I was about 12, I hated a girl. I even thought of her as an enemy. She liked to pointed out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was too thin; I was not a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. At last, I couldn’t stand her. I ran to my father.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Jane, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. I couldn’t change some of them, like being very thin, but more I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a pretty clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,”he said. “You know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth.”
Daddy’ s advice has returned to me at many important moments.In my life,I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

B. She felt too good about herself.
C. She was of medium build.
2.What did the father ask Jane to do?
A. Mark the true things.
B. List the girl’s shortcomings.

3.How did Jane feel after she made the list?
A. She felt hurt and wanted to give up.
B. She didn’t lose heart and decided to change.
C. She was happy because she could draw a picture.
4.What does the sentence “In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.”mean?
A. She didn’t like her father’s advice.
B. Her father gave her better advice after she grew up.
C. Her father gave her the best advice in her life.

Margeaux Wolberg was sitting with the other 12-year-olds in her class when one of the girls turned to her and asked, "Is your mom dead?"
She never came to school like the other mothers to volunteer in the library or help the teachers. It was always Margeaux's dad who did that.
Margeaux reached for her computer, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of information with her mother's name and job titles, from CEO at Salesforce.com to her present role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. "See, my mom's not dead," she said. "My mom's famous."
Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She is not trapped by an uneasy feeling these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is glad that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.
Long before neither of her kids was born, Wolberg and her future husband Michael had a talk about how they would divide household and childcare duties. "I said, 'Listen, one of the things that's really important to me is to have a parent at home full time, '" she remembers. "'And it can't be me.'"
Michael Wolberg, 43, worked for years for a medicine company. But when Margeaux was born, he offered to give up his job and became a stay-at-home dad. And he has never felt sorry for himself. Spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.
"She's spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further," he says, "and this lifestyle of cleaning the floor and changing diapers(尿片)and all kinds of other things are not for her."
1.From the first three paragraphs we know that Margeaux felt .
A. sorry for her mother B. proud of her mother

A. He was tired of his job.
B. He was forced to leave the job.
C. He is more suitable by nature to stay at home.
D. He and his wife reached an agreement after the kids' birth.
4.From the passage we can learn that .
A. Kirsten can achieve greater success in her career
B. Kirsten is neither a good wife nor a qualified mother
C. Michael loves his kids better than his wife does

Just tell me how much it costs.”
Just then the pharmacist’s brother came in. “How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents.” “Well,” smiled the man, “It’s the exact price of a miracle for little brothers!”

九年级英语单选题简单题查看答案及解析
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she loved nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always ready to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, "If I could see the world, I would marry you."
One day, someone gave away a pair of eyes to her. When the bandage came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend, for the first time. He asked her, "Now that you see the world, will you marry me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was blind. She had never expected that. She would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life. She refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a note to her, saying, "My dear, take care of your eyes. Before they are yours, they were mine."
This is how the human brain often works when our status (地位) changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before. And we often ask for more than we need. Life is a gift. Today, before you complain (抱怨) about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you complain about life, think of someone who lost his life early. Before you complain about your old house, think of the people who are living on the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs.
So enjoy what you have and don't forget your past.
1.The blind girl loved everybody except her boyfriend because he was never helping her.
2.The reason why she didn't feel like marrying her boyfriend after she could see everything was that he was blind at that time.
3.From the passage, we know that in order to let the girl see the world, her boyfriend gave away his eyes to her.
4.A great number of people remember what life was like before in our daily life.
5.From the story, we realize that we should value what we have and never forget the past.
