One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write? ”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”
What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this story.
The first is: Treasure(珍惜)what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative(有創(chuàng)造力的). Think differently. There is always a better way!
小題1:Who sat on the steps of a building asking for help?
小題2:A man walked by and gave the boy a few coins, didn’t he?
小題3:What did the man do to the boy’s sign?
小題4:What happened to the boy’s hat soon?
小題5:How did the man write the sign?
小題6:Which sign do you prefer, the first one or the second one ? Why ?(answer the question in no more than 20 words)

小題1:A blind boy
小題2:Yes,he did
小題3:He took the sign,turned it around and wrote some words on it\He wrote some words on the back of the sign
小題4:The hat began to fill up.
小題5:He wrote the sign in a different
小題6: the second one,because it is creative.

試題分析:這篇短文主要介紹了一個聰明的過路人幫助盲人把標(biāo)牌改了,這樣有更多的路人幫助哪位盲人,所以說我們要學(xué)到珍惜你所擁有的別人沒有的,還要注意說話的藝術(shù)。

What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest(最簡單的) inventions is the toilet(沖水式馬桶). Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed(殺死) every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter.  After hay (干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter. The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
