It was Molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work．

One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag．This one was worn and held together with staples（訂書釘） 。

“Why two bags?” her father asked．“The other is something else,” Molly answered．“What’s in it?” “Just some stuff．Take it with you．”

Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both bags into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off．At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons（絲帶）, three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies… The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly’s stuff included．

That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper．

“Where’s my bag?” “What bag?” “The one I gave you this morning．” “I left it at the office．Why?” “I forgot to put this note in it,” she said．

“And, besides, Daddy, the things in the sack are the things I really like — I thought you might like to play with them．You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?”

“Oh, no,” he said, lying．“I just forgot to bring it home．I’ll bring it tomorrow．” While Molly hugged her father’s neck, he unfolded the note that read: “I love you, Daddy．” Molly had given him her treasures — all that a 7-year-old held dear．

Love in a paper bag, and he missed it — not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket．So back he went to the office．Just ahead of the night janitor（看門人）, he picked up the wastebasket．He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully．The bag didn’t look so good, but the stuff was all there and that’s what counted．

After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack．It took a long time to tell．Everything had a story or a memory．

“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life,” he thought．

We should all remember that it’s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey．That journey with the people we love is all that really matters．It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten．

1.Why did Molly give her father a second bag?

A．She didn’t want to keep the things in the bag．

B．She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father．

C．She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things．

D．She enjoyed playing with her father．

2.How did father deal with the bag after he opened it?

A．He kept it in the drawer．

B．He took it back home．

C．He threw it into the wastebasket．

D．He put it on his table．

3.Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage?

A．An important journey B．Two bags

C．Father and daughter D．Love in a paper bag

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world．Because in some ways, it is．

Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves．

And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes．We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work．Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．

Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow．If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible．

By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly．

Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible．

Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it．You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away．Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something．That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults．Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do．You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey．Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey．

So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes．They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible．

1.Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?

A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot．

B．Because it’s a natural part in our life．

C．Because we’ve been taught so from a young age．

D．Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers．

2.According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?

A．We should try to avoid making mistakes．

B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes．

C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn．

D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．

3.The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means_________．

A．a(chǎn) small child learning to walk

B．a(chǎn) kindergarten child learning to draw

C．a(chǎn) primary pupil learning to read

D．a(chǎn) school teenager learning to write

4.We can learn from the passage that_________．

A．most of us can really grow from success

B．growing and improving are based on mistakes

C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error

D．we read about something and know how to do it right away

When you begin to research your family history， you’ll get to know your parents and grandparents in a different way. You’ll see them through their memories of others. Here are some tips on how to write your family history：

1. Record their memories on paper，on audio cassette or videotape.

Take photos of relatives. They should include the old homes where they lived and the places where ancestors are buried. 2.

Read every old letter. Go through any old letter you might have saved from your parents and relatives. 3. These will give you insight into common everyday events that almost everyone has forgotten.

4. You may want to collect this history only as a family record for yourself and your children. Or you might want to have it printed in booklet form for family and any others who are interested in what your family has done. Nowadays，with desktop publishing programs，you can even publish the family history yourself，without having to take it to a printer.

Keep memories alive. Family histories are fascinating. 5. There are always some people who neglected to write down the tales of the past and record the family stories. If you don’t do this now，some day you’ll say，“I wish I’d written all that information down for my children and future generations. ”
