A man was fishing on the bank of a river. A boy came to see him fishing. The

man was really good at fishing and he could catch a full basket of fish in a short time. The man saw that the boy was very cute, and he wanted to give him a whole basket of fish. But the boy shook his head. The man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish? '

The boy replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands. "

The man asked," Why do you want the rod?"

"I will eat up all the fish in the basket soon,but if I have the fishing rod,I can use it to catch a lot of fish by myself.”

As a child，one of my favorite things to do was to go to the river and sit on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet. Watching the river, listening to the chirps（鸟鸣 ）of the birds and the sound of moving leaves in the tress relaxed me after a hard day at school.

I noticed that the bamboo trees would bend(弯曲) in the wind. However, after the wind had died down they would stand up again.

When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability. the word “resilience” comes to mind. This word means the ability to overcome shock, low spirits and other difficult situations quickly.

Have you ever felt like you are about to break suddenly? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived(幸免) such an experience.

During the experience you probably had mixed emotions(情感). You felt very tired.

Life is a mixture of good times and bad things, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are having a bad time or unhappy moment, bend but don’t break. Try your hardest not to let the situation take control of you.

Hope will get you through the unhappy times. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.

If life gets hard and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!

1.Why did the author like to sit on the river bank when he was young?

A. Because he liked to play in the water.

B. Because he did not want to go to school.

C. Because he wanted to enjoy some peace and quiet there.

D. Because he thought it was more fun than staying at home.

2.What does the word “resilience” mean?

A. Being able to forget things quickly.

B. Being able to deal well with problems.

C. Never letting yourself get into trouble.

D. Being at the breaking point.

3.According to the story, Which of the following situations is acceptable(可以接受)？

A. Allen failed in the exam yesterday and he was too afraid to tell his parents.

B. William failed to win the contest prize, so he gave up after that and never tried again.

C. Nancy has good grades in every subject, so she thinks she is better than everyone.

D. Grace lost in the last game, but she kept practicing and finally won next time.

After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.

When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Who’s there?”

“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”

Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.

A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.

On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t break up. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.

We decided to leave at once. It’s all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.

1.What happened LAST in the story?

A. George saw a big house.　　 B. George got some new clothes.

C. George found Jim on the ground.　　 D. George jumped off the raft into the water.
