Once upon a time there was a writer who liked to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the beach. As he looked down the beach, he saw someone moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to cateh up. As he got closer, he saw that a young man was reaching down to the shore, picking something up and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer, he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man stopped, looked up and answered, "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"

"The sun is up, and the tide(潮汐) is going out, and if I don't throw them in, they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you see that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely, then picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one." And he kept throwing starfish.

There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us can make a difference in life. If we know that, we have the power to shape the future.

1.When did the writer meet the young man?

2.Why did the young man throw starfish into the ocean?

3.What can we learn from the passage?

Once upon a time， there was an old woman who lived in a small house. She planted a lot of beautiful tulips (郁金香) in her garden.

One night，the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing woke her up. She looked out of the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulips， but she could see nothing.

The next morning she walked among her flowers， but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.

On the following night she was again wakened (弄醒) by the sounds of sweet singing and babies laughing. She got out of bed and walked softly into her garden. The old woman looked closely and she noticed that a fairy (精灵) mother was singing softly， and that in each tulip-cup was a little fairy baby， laughing and playing.

The old woman went back to her house quietly. From then on， she never picked a tulip. She didn’t allow her neighbours to pick the flowers， either. When the old woman died， all the tulips disappeared overnight. But her grave (坟墓) looked beautiful， because the fairies sang above it and kept it green.
