The father and the son went on walking. The sun was well up in the _______. They soon drank up their water, and there wasn’t a house or even a tree for them to _______. Allan felt too

A successful man was driving his new car down a street. He saw a kid was throwing stones at the cars, and then he slowed down. But as his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a stone hit the car’s side door! He drove his car back to the place where the stone had been thrown. The angry man jumped out of his car, caught the kid and shouted, “What was that all about? That’s a new car and that stone you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?”

The young boy was apologetic. “Please sir... please, I’m sorry... I didn’t know what else I could do. I threw the stone because no one stopped...” With tears in his eyes, the boy pointed to another boy. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He fell out of his wheelchair (轮椅) and I can’t lift him up.”

The man lifted the boy back into the wheelchair in a hurry. Luckily, the boy wasn’t hurt.

“Thank you very much,” the child said to the stranger.

The little boy pushed the wheelchair toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the car. The damage was very noticeable (明显的), but the man never repaired the side door. He kept the dent (凹痕) there to remind him of this message: Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a stone at you to get your attention!

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.

The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever. Soon he was surrounded(包围) with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim (认领) it soon.”

After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “It’s a lottery ticket(彩票),” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist.

The violinist was a student at an art college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, “At that time you needed money to pay the tuition and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?”

The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.” Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us.

You may like reading novels for fun. But you need to get organized(有系统的) if you are reading a novel for school.     41    

    42     What do they do in the novel? What do they want? Everything is about a character can help us to understand him, from his appearance to the kind of food he eats.

Besides, the order of the story and the plot(故事情节) are important in the same way. Make sure that as you read, you make a quick note of what happens in each chapter(章节). This will help you bring the things you have noticed about the character, setting, language and so on together.     43    

Next, themes.     44     It is a must to get the hang of the theme if you want to fully appreciate the novel. Perhaps love is an important theme.

Finally, novels are made up of language.     45     They may use metaphors(暗喻) invent symbols, or show different characters’ personalities through their speech styles.

One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my son from school. I got there a little, early,     46       I parked my car in front of a small park, near the school, and waited for him.

As I looked outside the car window, I saw     47       little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass in the park. His mother watched him from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face.     48     (Sudden), the boy fell to the grass and got up without looking back     49     his mother. Then he ran as fast as he could again. He was still running with a smile on his face, as if nothing     50       (happen).

At that moment I thought to     51     (I), “Why aren’t most adults like this?” When they fell down, most of them didn’t even make a     52     (two) attempt(努力). When someone saw them fall, they would be so embarrassed that they would not try again.

However, when kids fell down, they didn’t consider their falling down as a     53     (fail). Instead, they treated it as a     54     (learn) experience. They tried again until they     55    

I learned a lot from that observation（观察）. Since then, I’ve always believed that all of us should have the same courage as a little child, just like that boy in the park.
