Several days ago, one of my students came into my office, looking down. He thought he had too much stress — he has homework to do every day, he has too many after-school classes every weekend, he doesn’t like his history teacher, his younger sister is crying all the time when he needs a quiet environment to study, his parents always compare him with his classmates, ...

The problems are commonly seen on most of the Chinese students. I comforted my student with one sentence: Don’t you know you were much stronger than you thought?

Why did I say so? Because everyone has strength.What is strength? It is not always about physical strength. Rather, it is about will, training and the ability to get things done. I know some students who are clever, but they get very little done in their studies. And I know others find work extremely challenging, but are able to move mountains through hard work. They have inner strength. More interesting is that those hard-workers often don’t even notice the stress. When they are asked “How do you make it?”, the answers usually comes back: “I just work harder than the others.”

Some losers often have self-imposed(自己强加的) boundaries(边界) — I can’t do that(Why?); that is too much for me(How do you know?); I can’t put in that much effort(What would happen if you did?). All these are limits(局限).

Then, how can they get stronger? By pushing themselves until the boundaries disappear. By pushing themselves until they get better.

1.What can we know from the student’s words？

A.He was looking for something.

B.He was worried and unhappy.

C.His parents didn’t love him.

2.Most Chinese students have problems with the following aspects（方面）EXCEPT _______.

A.schoolwork B.social relationship C.teachers’ suggestions

3.Why do some clever students achieve little？

A.Because they are not willing to spend time working hard.

B.Because the work is too challenging.

C.Because they know how much the stress is.

4.If your friend complains(抱怨) “I’m not smart enough to solve that,” what the writer may say to him?

A.Let it go.

B.Believe in yourself.

C.Are you really sure about that if you haven’t tried hard?

5.What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A.Hard-workers don’t have any stress.

B.People can find their inner strength through hard work.

C.By pushing themselves, people can get whatever they want.

There was once a little boy with a bad temper (脾气). He often had fights with his friends. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails (钉子) and told him to hammer (敲) a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy listened to his father and did what his father told him to do.

The first day, the boy drove 17 nails into the fence. Then the number of nails became less and less in the following days. The boy found that it was easier to keep his temper than to drive the nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and his father asked him to pull out one nail each time he was able to keep his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same as it was before. When you say some words in anger, your bad temper will leave a scar just like the hole. Even if you say you’re sorry, the wound is still there. If you hurt a person with words, the wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are rare jewels (稀有珍宝). They make you smile and feel happy. So never hurt your friends.”

Since then the boy had never fought with his friends. He learned how to get on with others and he never lost his temper again.

1.What did the father ask the little boy to do each time he lost his temper?

A.To have fights with his friends. B.To hammer a nail into the fence.

C.To listen to light music. D.To eat much chocolate.

2.What did the father ask him to do each time he was able to keep his temper?

A.Pull out one nail. B.Drive one nail into the fence.

C.Lose his temper. D.Tell his father about it.

3.What does the story tell us?

A.We need to buy a bag of nails. B.Friends are not important at all.

C.Lose your temper when you are angry. D.We should keep our temper and get on well with others.

One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn’t think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn’t the type I would like to become friends with.

During that year, I didn’t talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.

But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong.

“Haven’t you got any friends?” a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down.

“No, he hasn’t got any friends. He’s too stupid and shy，”I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had over seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.

That night, I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t get Christian’s face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive me. But I thought I should.

The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never realize what your apology(道歉) has meant to me, Jimmly.” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends. ”

We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.

When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was. Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.

Samuel was back at the thrift shop（旧货店）. He had walked into the shop with only one goal in mind—to find a book that he had NOT bought yesterday. The book was one of seven that he had planned to buy yesterday. But at the last moment, he changed his mind. He put all seven back on the shelf.

Samuel had a personal library at home with over 1,000 books, almost all unread. He had more reading material in his small house than he could finish in two lifetimes. But he couldn’t help himself buying more books. He finally put his foot down. Not one more book, he told himself, unless it was really special. Yesterday’s book fit the bill. It was a biography（传记）of one of his favorite authors—Stephen King. King was one of America’s most popular fiction authors. Samuel wanted to be a great writer. King was his role model.

Within minutes, Samuel found all the books that he had chosen yesterday except one—the Stephen King book. “What a surprise,” he thought. “the book that I really want to find is the one book that I can’t find.” Samuel took a walk throughout the store, knowing that people often pick up a book in one place and then leave it in another place. The book was a thick paperback with a red cover. But it was nowhere to be found.

So for Samuel, the big search was on. He was now a man on a mission. Every thrift shop he went to would be a search for the King book. This new search added purpose to his thrift shop life.

Samuel had held something special in his hands except that biography. But only when he let it go did he realize its value. When he found it again, he would place the King book prominently（显眼地）on his bookshelf. It would almost certainly be his favorite book that he never got around to reading.

A.buy a new book B.sell an old book

C.find a special book D.return a book

2.According to the passage, Stephen King was 　　　　　　　　 .

B.Samuel liked buying books very much.

C.Reading books was Samuel’s favorite hobby.

D.Samuel was a careless but responsible person.

4.What happened at the end of the story?

A.Samuel didn’t find the book he wanted most.

B.Samuel would read all the books he had.
