Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school.

New York is the biggest city of the USA. A long time ago, it was called Lenapehoking. In 1626, Dutch(荷兰) people bought the land for only $24! They called it New Amsterdam. Then in 1664, the British took it over and changed the name to New York.

By 1835, New York became the largest city in the United States. New York City used to have five smaller towns but now they are all part of the same city.

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道) though he had lost his left arm in a serious car accident. The boy began his lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, but he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.

“Sensei (老师),” the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, and this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first competition. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match seemed to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient. The boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced(有经验的). For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Thinking that the boy might get hurt, the referee (裁判) called a timeout. He wantedt to stop the match when the sensei said to him, “No, let him continue.”     

Soon after the match restarted, his opponent made a big mistake. The boy won! He was the winner. On the way home the boy tried to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei, how could I win the competition with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered.”First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense (防御) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

A．He fell down on the ground.	B．He forgot to throw the boy to the ground.
C．He grew more and more impatient.	D．He tried to catch the boy’s left arm.

36. What can we learn from the story?

B．One should always listen to what the teacher tells him or her to do.

C．One should not be discouraged because of his or her weakness.

任务型阅读
A speaker was giving a speech to his student on what to do with stress(压力). He held up a glass of water and asked the students, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students’ answers were different，from 20g to 500g.
“It does not matter on the exact weight. It depends on(取决于) how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will send me to the hospital. It is the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
“If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time, we will not be able to carry on, because the burden is becoming heavier and heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, have a rest for a while and then hold it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can cheer up and are able to carry on. So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.
Life is short, enjoy it!
