Paul answered,“Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing?Sir,I wish…”He hesitated(猶豫),Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted,but what the boy said surprised him greatly.“I wish,”the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise,and then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes,I’d   love to ,”the boy answered.

I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box and put the ants into it. Soon they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. With my mom’s help, I kept a record of what happened each day and named the ants.
One day when I had put my face close to the structure (building), accidentally I knocked it over, and all the tunnels fell in. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of “frustration (挫折)”. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Over the years, I came to realize the ants have the spirit of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each worked at their task. The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance (毅力) are indeed the keys to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently —Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment.
So I try to live my life like those hardworking ants. But, unlike them, I try not to let frustration defeat (擊敗) me. I will have to keep building my tunnels.
小題1:The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _________.
A．for the ants to live inB．to get sunlight in
C．to keep the sand cleanD．for the boy to watch
小題2:Which of the following is NOT the lesson from the ant farm?
A．The ants have the spirit of teamwork.
B．The ants give up when they face frustration.
C．The ants should be admired for their hard work.
D．Teamwork and perseverance are indeed the keys to success.
小題3:What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A．To share a personal experience.
B．To tell readers a story about ants.
C．To warn readers not to build an ant farm.
D．To call on readers to learn from the ants.
小題4: What did the writer think of the ants?
A．Persistent (執(zhí)著) and friendly.
B．Selfish and foolish.
C．Clumsy (愚笨的) and lazy.
D．Hard-working but pessimistic (悲觀).

"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. When the baby was lying in her arms and she moved the cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped(吃力地喘著氣). The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Luckily, time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. Though the misfortune(不幸)happened to him, he grew into a handsome boy. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others.
“You should get in touch with other young people,” his mother told him, with a kindness in her heart. The boy’s father talked with the family doctor about his ears. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got,” the doctor replied.
Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You are going to the hospital, Son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need, but it’s a secret.” The operation is a big success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交的)service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.”
“You could, my son,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.”
The years kept their secret, but one of the darkest days did come. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材). Slowly, the father stretched forth(伸出) a hand
and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.
