A mother is devastated, crying, yelling all she can in that dark corner. There was nobody tohear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle, silence filling the air. Loneliness was alreadykilling her，but no one knows what made her cry.

Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really the pain you can ever overcome.Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accidentwas terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air withher child hugged tight in her arms.

The whole time she walked with her child in her arms. The only thing that worried her wasAryan's future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child’s growth, and figuringwhat she would have in store for him. But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow? Life canchange in a second.

On that deserted road, were a few streetlights barely enough? It was this one light that couldbe seen from a distance, but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. That light changedRadha's life into darkness forever. A speeding car came down that road. The driver came at aspeed of 110 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk,and the speed took everything in its path. Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again.

But the mother wasn’t hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn’t seeAryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby,but alas! ... The child hadn’t even seen life.

Simply, don't drink and drive. You could take a life, but kill a number of people.

From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. 1.

The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

2. Your level of self-esteem(自尊) is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(長期的) victims. They are leaves tossed(搖擺) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. 3.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. 4. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent on our level of confidence.

If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks(挫折).

In short, in all areas of your life, you are responsible. 5. .

A. Failure is the mother of success.

B. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success

C. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

D. Developing confidence is the key to future success.

E. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

F. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.

G. You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem.

Poets use different forms of poetry to express them. The nursery rhymes may not make sense of and even seem contradictory. List poems have a flexible line length and repeating phrases what give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. The cinquain and haiku can give clear picture use the minimum of words.

People hold different views on what or how much homework should be. It is partly due to(由于) the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework.

Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce (鞏固)what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it’s the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

However, many parents seem to have different ideas. Elisa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that third-grade students in DC elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. She said, “They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternate (交替的) ways of thinking about books, reading and writing.”

Some education reformers (改革者), such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track. But it’s often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks.

1. How many opinions do the teachers have on “homework”?

A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.

2. According to the experts’ opinions, ___________.

A. what Cohen’s thinking about is correct

B. teachers shouldn’t work too hard or too long

C. teachers should give necessary work to the students

D. teachers should let the students repeat what they didn’t have time to get in class

3.What’s the problem with Elisa Cohen’s twins in writing about their book report?

A. They find homework really hard.

B. They simply copy one repeatedly.

C. They get different ways of thinking about their work.

D. They aren’t given much thinking about what they read.

4.Some education reformers think we should improve our school education by_____.

A. increasing homework B. changing schools

C. changing teachers D. reducing homework
