【題目】 I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun, planting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows (烏鴉). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our garden.

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I thought they'd go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise. I felt a little disappointed.

Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground. I found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little bird I forgave (原諒) the crows.

To be honest, I've never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds.

They're basically living dinosaurs (恐龍).

I wish they'd chosen another garden. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can't do any gardening out there. But I'm also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature. It's pretty amazing.

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.

【1】The arrival of the two crows________.

A.angered the writer's neighborsB.made the writer's dog mad

C.was harmful to the writer's gardenD.broke the order of the writer's life

【2】Why did the writer lock her dog up?

A.She wanted to take some photos.B.The parent crows were to attack the dog.

C.She wanted to protect the little bird.D.The dog kept making loud noises.

【3】The writer changed her thoughts to the crows when________.

A.she planted flowers in her gardenB.she locked her dog inside

C.she saw the little bird in her gardenD.she thought of living dinosaurs

【4】The passage is mainly to________.

A.share a personal experienceB.advise readers to protect birds

C.show an unpleasant situationD.ask advice on dealing with crows

【題目】 I looked into the mirror and checked if I was dressed up properly. YES! My hair was clean and my tie was straight. So I confidently went to the stage, imagining how proud my parents would be! That evening, I was the pianist playing in the school concert for the first time. When the concert was over, I couldn’t wait to share my joy with my family. However, only my mother was there. She explained, “Son, your dad is called out to work.”

I was a little unhappy, though not very surprised. Because it was not the first time that my father was absent. As a manager in a big telecommunications(電信) company, my father was very busy with his work all year around. In fact, I didn’t have much time with him. Every time when I complained about it, my father always said, “Everyone has his duty(責(zé)任), and I have mine.”

Later, I had a chance to visit father’s company. He pointed to a big iron tower and said, “Son, that is a base station. Do you know that about 25 percent of the calls in our country are through the network we built?” “Wow!” “But it’s hard work. You know, China started late in many ways. We have to work hard and sometimes even give up time with family.”

Now, more and more people are amazed at the Chinese miracle(奇跡). If any foreign friend asks me what makes the Chinese miracle, I want to tell that behind the miracle there is always a story like my father’s.

【1】Was the writer’s father absent from his school concert?

【2】How many percent of the calls are through the network built by the writer’s father’s company?

It might not be easy to find a mentor in real life, but you can learn from virtual (虛擬的) mentors. By reading their books and watching their interviews, you’ll know what advice they would give to you.

Supporters (支持者). Just like a sportsperson needs supporters, you also need supporters. These are people who encourage you to keep going in difficult times. These are people who believe in you no matter what happens. Having supporters can be very important.
