Grandpa was a carpenter (木匠). One day he was making some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤兒院) in Egypt. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He drove back to the church, but his search turned out to be fruitless.

Suddenly, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His new glasses were heading for Africa!

Grandpa had six children and he had paid twenty dollars for the glasses that morning. “It's not fair,” he told God as he drove home. “I've been very faithful (忠誠的) in giving my time and money to YOUR work.”

Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on holiday in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that helped him in Egypt, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago.

“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, I had just broken my glasses. Then your boxes arrived. To my surprise, I found a pair of glasses in it and it fit me very well!”

The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses, but thought that the man must have confused their church with another. There were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas. Sitting quietly in the back, with tears in his eyes, Grandpa realized that God had played a big trick on him.

1.Where were Grandpa’s glasses lost?

A. In a church in Egypt. B. In the box he made.

C. On his way home. D. At the orphanage.

2.How did Grandpa feel when he found his glasses were lost?

A. Calm. B. Worried.

3.Who got the glasses in the end?

As you grow older，you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions--like whether to cut class or try cigarettes．Making decisions on your own is hard enough，but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder．People who are your age，like your classmates，are called peers．When they try to influence how you act，to get you to do something，it’s called peer pressure．

Peers can have a positive influence on each other．Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system．Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book，and now everyone’s reading it．These are examples of how peers positively influence each other．

Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways．For example，a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball．

It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure，but you can do it．Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do．

You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely．” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this．If you choose friends who don’t cut class，smoke cigarettes，or lie to their parents，then you probably won’t do these things either，even if other kids do．

If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle，talk to someone you trust．Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two．

1.For whom is the passage most probably written?

A． Students

B． Parents

C． Teachers

D． Doctors

2.In the last three paragraphs，the author mainly_____．

A． explains why friendship is so important

B． gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure

C． discusses how peers influence us

D． shows how to make more good friends

3.Which of following may help handle peer pressure?

A． Spending more time with classmates．

B． Taking up more relaxing hobbies．

C． Choosing friends with no bad habits．

D． Helping others who are in trouble．

4.What is the topic of the passage?

A． Friendship

B． Making decisions

C． Self-confidence

D． Peer pressure
