My nephew came for a visit one hot, July week...

My nephew's 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot，July weekend. I persuaded him to　 inside and joined him in a game. After　 for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I fell into my favorite recliner（躺椅）to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped out of the room and I was catching a few enjoyable moments of peace and quiet.

"Look，Alice，”he said　 as he ran over to the chair where I was sitting"I found a kite. Could we go outside and 　 it?"

Glancing out a nearby window, I noticed it was　 outside.“I'm sorry, Tripper,.” I said, sad to see his 　 eyes. "The wind is not blowing today. The kite won't fly.”

The　 10-year-old replied,“I think it's windy enough. I can get it to fly,”he answered as he ran out to the back door 　 Up and down in the yard he ran, pulling the kite 　 to a small length of string. He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten year-old legs would carry him, looking back　 at the kite behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination, he came back in.

I asked, "How did it go?"

"Fine，”he said, not wanting to admit 　 ．“I got it to fly some”

As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the　 ．”

At that moment I heard another Voice speak to my 　 . "Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the Wind.，，

And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to 　 what we want to do. We wait for the Wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted（耗尽） our own　  ．We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!

My nephew came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to stay inside by joining him in a Nintendo game. After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player, I suggested that we relax for a while. He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of peace and quiet.

“Look, Alice,” he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it?”

Glancing out of a nearby window, I noticed there was not a breeze (微风). “I'm sorry, Tripper,” I said, sad to see his disappointed eyes, but thankful for the short period of rest from more activities. “The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly.”

The determined 10-year-old replied. “I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered, as he hurried out through the back door. I peeked through the curtains to watch determination in action. Up and down the yard he ran, pulling the kite attached to a small length of string. The plastic kite, proudly displaying a picture of Batman, remained about shoulder level.

He ran back and forth, as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination, he came back in.

I asked, “How did it go?” “Fine,” he said, “I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, “I guess I'll have to wait for the wind.”

At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart. “Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.” And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do. We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength. We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!

I recently came in contact with celebrity magazines. My family isn’t one to give money for pictures of skinny, drunk celebrities with paragraphs about their relationships and shopping cart times. Thus, I was excited to finally get a chance to read about other people’s attractive yet troubled lives.

Right away I noticed how each magazine seemed to be a copy of the other. They had headlines and pictures that were almost the same. Still, the pictures of perfectly constructed faces with cute designers outfits going on with their daily lives made me read on.

Wait, celebrities taking their dogs for walk? Spending an afternoon at a park? All of these things seemed so ordinary—things my own family and I do together often. I suddenly realized how unextraordinary the people in these magazines were. They are simply normal people who happen to have a cool job and much money. For some reason, pictures of them doing things like buying milk at the store appeal to millions of readers. Then, when these regular people mess up, their mistakes is painted onto hundreds of newspapers and internet sites.

What if every time we made a mistake, it was made public? Have you ever failed a test? Imagine seeing pictures of you on the front of a newspaper with headlines like, “Regular Schooling Isn’t Enough”. You’d be embarrassed. Now, I’m not necessarily taking the celebrity’s side. I’m more realizing the fact that these people we were crazy about are just ordinary human beings with many photographs following them around. Role models? I’d think not. Personally, I’d rather look up to people in any community who have accomplished a lot instead of an ordinary person walking his dog in Berverly Hills.

1.What do we know about the author’s family?

A.They admire celebrities very much.

B.They often buy celebrity magazines.

C.They are not interested in celebrities.

D.They are curious about the life of celebrities.

2.What does the author think of celebrities?

A.They live happy life.

B.They seldom do usual things.

C.They deserve people’s admiration.

D.They are just ordinary people like us.

3.Who is most likely to be the author’s role model?

A.Celebrities who live ordinary live.

B.Common people who do great things.

C.Extraordinary people who accomplish a lot.

D.People who make great contributions to communities.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To describe the actual life of celebrities.

B.To ask us to be realistic about other’s mistakes.

C.To show people’s different attitudes towards celebrities.

D.To advise us to have a right attitude towards celebrities.

One day in my class, the children were busy preparing for the coming concert. Suddenly Patty came up to me and said, “Every year I-g-g-g-get to be a quiet student. The other kids are always in a p-p-p-play or something. This year, I w-w-want to recite a p-p-p-poem myself!”

Watching her eager eyes, I had no way to refuse her request. So I had to promise her that she would have a “reciting” part. That promise proved to be very difficult to keep. None of my books had any proper poems for her. So I had to spend most of the night writing a poem for her. It was not excellent, but it was enough to cope with Patty’s speech problem.

From then on, Patty spent a lot of time practicing the reciting every day. With my help, she made great progress. However, an unexpected thing happened when the concert was about to start. The MC（报幕员）came to me with anger, waving his printed program. “There has been a mistake! You have listed Patty for a recitation. That girl can’t even say her own name without stuttering.” Because there was not enough time for explanations, I said to him angrily, “We know what we are doing.”

The concert was going very well. When it was time for Patty’s recitation, the MC again said that Patty would embarrass everyone. Losing patience, I shouted to him loudly, “Patty will do her part. You do yours. Just introduce her number.”

The curtain parted to show Patty, excited and confident. In perfect control, Patty uttered each syllable clearly helped by my gestures. At last, she made her bow, with tears in her eyes.

The curtain closed. At first silence held the audience, then the silence gave way to warm and lasting applause. Patty threw her arms around me and said to me excitedly, “We d-d-d-did it!”

1. What was the challenge for Patty to prepare for the concert?

A. She hadn’t enough time to practice.

B. She wasn’t popular with the students in her class.

C. She couldn’t recite words clearly owing to stuttering.

D. There weren’t proper poems for her at all.

2.The author yelled at the MC loudly because_____.

A. he made a mistake about the printed program

B. he showed no respect for the author

C. he didn’t list Patty for a recitation

D. he was unwilling to include Patty in the performing list

3.From the passage we can learn that_____.

A. where there is a will, there is a way

B. experience is the mother of wisdom

C. strike while the iron is hot

D. the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
