Mother's Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated (慶祝) in the United States, English, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts (禮物) of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink (粉紅色) or red rose (玫瑰) or carnation (康乃馨花) , while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one. The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother's Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10,1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.
In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And , in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast (廣播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, "Love is invaluable."
On May 8,1999, just the day before the Mother's Day this year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing (罪惡轟炸).Her name is Shao Yunhuan , a heroic (英雄的) mother. All the Chinese will remember her for ever.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.
School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.
Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.
小題1: People go to school to _________.
A．learn several subjectsB．make a living
C．get an educationD．learn from teachers
小題2: According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _________.
A．to teacher his students everything he knows
B．to teach the students how to think
C．to know everything they want to know
D．to teach the students how to work out a math problem
小題3:To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.
A．only a certain formulaB．a(chǎn) certain fact
C．some factsD．the way to solve it
小題4:Why were many scientists so successful?
A．They received good education.B．They were very clever.

In 2013, China chose “中國夢(mèng),”which means “Chinese dream,” as the Character of the Year to symbolize the overall feeling of the past 366 days. It’s easy to see why the word “dream” would be chosen as so many Chinese dreams have been recently realized: space exploration, a China-made aircraft carrier and a Nobel Prize-winning author.

Finishing national dreams makes us proud, but realizing personal dreams makes us worthy in our own eyes. Though the media would try to convince you, there is no set of “approved” dreams that we should all go after. Some may strive for money, fame and power, but others have more humble dreams that are just as important: learn English, study abroad, achieve inner peace, and be of service to humanity. It’s normal for people to create lofty New Year’s resolutions and just as normal to start strong and give up a few weeks later on our goals. How do we make sure that we achieve our dreams? Make your resolutions SMART and they’ll come true.
S — specific, detailed goals are easier to accomplish.
M— measurable goals enable you to complete a fixed amount of something.
A— achievable goals are possible, not ones that would take magic or miracles to accomplish.
R— relevant goals are meaningful to you.
T— time bound goals have an ending date. They’re not infinite. You know when you’re done.
Trip Bethel, a local college professor suggests that all goals should be positive and future-focused. “You can’t make a goal about being perfect. You’ll always disappoint yourself. But you can make a goal about perfecting your process. Then, you’re always on the way to a better life.”
Trip says many people write endless lists, but he just writes his resolutions once. He states them simply on a piece of paper and then puts the paper away for a year. “Often, when I look at the paper a year later, I’ve accomplished everything, or gotten close. There is something about writing things down that makes goals real and the opportunities to achieve them will come into your life.”
小題1:In 2013, China chose “__________” as the Character of the Year?
A．dreamB．smart
C．futureD．Chinese dream
小題2:What if you finish our national dreams? We will feel___________.
A．worriedB．proudC．worthyD．excited
小題3:What does “SMART” means? It means Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and ____.
A．TogetherB．TodayC．TimeD．Tomorrow
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Dreaming in 2013B．Dreaming Big in 2013
C．Dreaming Big in 2012D．Dreaming in 2012
