One night,a little swallow flew over the city. He was very 1 and wanted to have a good sleep in the city. When he saw the Statue of the Happy Prince (王子) ,he flew down and got ready to sleep 2 the feet of the Happy Prince.

   Just as he was putting his head under his wing,some water fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked 3 ,he found the sky was so clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly,he saw some tears were running down the Prince's golden 4 .

   “Why are you crying?” asked the swallow.

   “In a little street,there’s a poor house.From one of windows, I see a woman 5 at a table.She’s sewing clothes for 6 women to wear.In a bed in the corner of the room,her little boy is sick. He's asking for oranges,but his mother has only water to give him,so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty 7 the mother is so sad. Little swallow,will you please take her the jewel from the top of my sword (寶劍)?”

   “It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place,but I will stay with you and do as you ask. ”

   The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman's room and 8 it beside the woman s needle.

   After he flew back,he told the Prince what he had done. “It ’s strange ,” he added ,“it's so cold but I feel quite 9 now.”

   “That's 10 you have done a good thing ,” said the Prince. The little swallow began to think about this,and then he fell asleep.【2013 江蘇宿遷改編】

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

   Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they are there to teach you a lesson,or to help you understand who you are or who you want to become.

   You never know these people who may be a classmate,a neighbour or a friend一but when you lock your eyes on them,you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.

   Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant,painful,or frustrating at first. But in another way,you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability,strength or will power (意志力) .

   The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact,they are sometimes the most important ones.

   If someone loves you,give love back to them in the way you can,not only because they love you,but because in a way,they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

   If someone hurts you,or breaks your heart,forgive (原諒) them,for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful of people around.

Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If you’re not confident,it will be hard for others to believe in you.

   Learn a lesson in life each day you live![2013 • 山西]

  If you can speak English,you know a lot of English words. You can read,speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body.

   All over the world,people “talk” with their hands,with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet,they bow (鞠躬;彎腰) . When Indians meet,they put their hands together. What do American and British people do?

   Americans are more informal (不拘禮節(jié)的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names;they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down,they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

   British people are more reserved (矜持的,緘默的) . They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you something of your home.

   When British and American people meet someone for the first time,they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,and men kiss women friends. When a man meets a man friend,he just smiles,and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other,or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
