One’s education starts from family, especially from his or her mother. Here is a story__26__ happened in my childhood.
One Saturday morning, I was watching TV in the living room with my two brothers. My mum__27__ several apples of different colors and sizes. She put all the apples on the table, then __28__me and my younger brothers, “Which do you like ?”__29__ my younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. __30__ I could say “ The biggest one”, one of my brothers stood up and said what I wanted to say.
My mum __31__ the biggest apple and said to us, “It is __32__to get the biggest apple. Many people want the best thing, but few really get it. Now let’s start a __33__. Look at the lawn(草坪) in front of our __34__. I’ll divide it into three parts. Each of you must finish pruning(修剪) __35__own share. The best and quickest one will be__36__the biggest apple.” I won the apple finally.
Since then, I have learned to try my best to succeed whenever I get a chance. I work __37__to get what I want. That was what my mother advised me to do. I feel very thankful to my mum because she taught me a very basic but the most __38__lesson. It is quite fair that we can get what we want __39__competing (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)). My mother kept teaching us in this way and we followed her __40__ all the time.
I do believe that mother is the first teacher of children, who can teach them to be a No.1 pursuing person.

To err is human. To blame（責(zé)備） the other guy is even more human.
Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes（戲謔的引語(yǔ)）are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine（神圣的）.” This saying mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite – find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity（成熟）.
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary（直接推論）to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
小題1:Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?
A．A secretary works to a timetable.
B．A company’s next move follows a good plan.
C．A girl goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.
D．A man tries to manage everything in a large company.
小題2:What can we infer from the last paragraph according to the writer?
A．A good excuse is the same as honesty.
B．Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
C．Unpleasant truth is better than a good excuse.
D．Making a good excuse is sometimes a better idea.
小題3:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．A Mirror of Human Nature
B．To Blame or to Forgive
C．A Mark of Maturity
D．Truth or Excuse

As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠)woke up. There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its simple beauty, it was very happy. Around it were other dewdrops, some on the same leaf and some on other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.

Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed.
