Jim is a boy who thinks a lot and learns a lot. One day when he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He saw a group of elephants and these big animals had a rope around their front     . The rope was very      , so the elephants could break it easily. But to his surprise,      did not.
Jim saw a trainer near the elephants. Then he walked over and asked him   . “Well,” the trainer said, “When they were very young and much smaller , we used the same       ropes to tie around their legs and, at that age, they were sure they      hold(約束)them. As they get bigger and bigger, thy still believe the ropes can hold them, so they     try to get away.”
Jim thought a lot     that. These animals could break their ropes at any time, but because they       they couldn’t, they didn’t give it a try.
Like the       many of us believe that we can’t do something in our life, just because we didn’t do it successfully in the past.

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Long Zhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn’t what I expected. It didn’t look like a school at all!

I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. So, I really doubted whether there was any love between my parents. Every day they were working hard to pay for my high school. They didn’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books and saw on TV, and they certainly didn’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day (情人節(jié)).
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was any love between her and my dad. She stopped and raised her head in surprise. Then she went on with her work without saying anything. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her feelings. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (線). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring.
My mother suddenly got seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for about a month. Every morning and evening after she returned from the hospital, my father helped her walk slowly along our country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone through the leaves. All of this made the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love is just a thread in the quilt of our lives. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
小題1:What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph suggest?
A．There is beautiful scenery where the writer lived.
B．There is true love anywhere in the world.
C．There is no love without beautiful flowers.
D．There is true love between the writer’s parents.
小題2:Why didn’t the writer’s mother answer his question immediately?
A．Because her husband didn’t love her.
B．Because she was thinking of a better answer.
C．Because she didn’t love her husband.
D．Because the writer had hurt her feelings.
小題3:What is the best title of this passage?
A．Love Is EverywhereB．Love Is Always Romantic
C．Love: Thread in QuiltD．Love Can Last Forever

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking before you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brother and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that someone wants to walk past you.

There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely(智慧地), we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of the thing in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌). We need to know how to make a choice(選擇) when we shop.

Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is nicer? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.
We have to realize that the choices we make can affect(影響) the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice affect?
