My dad bought me a new Jeep when I was 17, but the real gift was what he taught me about life through this car. Every month, on the first day, he asked me to pay him $150 if I wanted to continue driving my Jeep. If I didn’t pay, I couldn’t drive my car (or “his car”, as he often reminded me, since he owned the title (所有权). My dad was (and still is) a successful businessman, who makes a very good living. To a 17-year-old student who only had a part-time weekend job, $150 was more than I usually made every month. I had to work harder. Although I was unhappy about my father’s request, I always made sure to give him $150 on the first day of each month, and did so for two years.
The day I graduated from high school, my dad pulled me into his office at our house for a talk. “Kevin,” he gave me a white box and said, “here is your graduation present. To be honest, this is actually a present you gave yourself.” I opened the box carefully, and almost started crying when I found he just gave me $3,600! It was 24 car payments that he had saved for the last two years. Every payment I gave him went straight into this box. By asking me to pay him every month, he was teaching me how to save, how to use my money and how to be responsible. My dad is and will forever be the best man I have ever known.
Four years later he gave me the title to the Jeep, as my college graduation gift.

Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.
In 1954, life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.
In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.
In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖). He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.
He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, "I do not write for children. I write for people."

In most schools in Asia, English is taught as the main foreign language. School children in China and Japan begin to learn English at an early age. English is the official language of more than seventy-five countries including Britain, Canada, the United States and Australia.
Many different languages are spoken in some countries. However, English is often used as an official language to help people communicate with each other. India is a good example. English is the common language in this country, but at least twenty-four languages are spoken there.
Do you know the history of English? Old English took many words from the French language. Most English words came from French, especially those words used for describing the law and the government, such as "damage"," prison(监狱)"and " marriage". Then, English became what language experts (专家) called Middle English. The history of English continues as Middle English, and then it becomes Modern English, and it is spoken today.

【推荐1】Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition. Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture.
It is said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5,000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. The servants began to make water hot enough to turn into gas for him to drink. Dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The king drank some, and found it could make him feel less tired. Also as a scientist, Shen Nong was interested in the new drink. And so, tea was created in 2737 BC.
Drinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following helpful advice.
•Drink it hot. Tea oxidizes(氧化) quickly, so it is suggested that you drink it hot.
•Do not drink too much strong tea. It will probably be harmful to your stomach and make you feel sick if you make the tea too strong.
•The best time to drink tea is between meals. It may not make you have a strong wish to eat when your stomach is empty, or cause stomachache when your stomach is full.
•Do not drink with medicine. It may change the medical result. You can drink tea two hours after you take medicine.
•Green tea is the best choice for office workers. Why? Because green tea helps stop the bad result of the computer.

【推荐2】Perhaps you’ve already watched or heard about Readers(《朗读者》), a TV show that has recently become popular. It invites different people to read aloud on the stage, as well as tell the touching stories behind them. They can read everything, like poems(诗), books, and letters.
Many people are fans of the show and begin to enjoy reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions(朗读亭) are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi’an.
The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. There is a microphone(麦克风) in it and it records people’s voices. Everyone can read anything they like for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later pick out some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.
People of all ages have come and read in the pavilion, according to People’s Daily. “Reading should be just like singing and talking,” said Dong Qing, the hostess of the show. “We can actually express our deep feelings through reading aloud.”
Both the TV show and the pavilion are promoting (推动) reading among the public, reported China Youth Daily. In fact, this is also what our country is trying to do now.

【推荐3】This is a tale of two friends, 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi. One is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are "disabled". But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China's Hebei Province into a rich, green forest.
Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.
When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi's direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. Though hard-working, the men don't make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, "We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter."
Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!
1. Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?| A．Haixia needed someone to help him. |
| B．They both needed a way to make money. |
| C．They wanted to improve the environment. |
| D．They were required to do so by local officials. |
| A．Their story |
| B．Their strength. |

| B．They do not cost money. |
| C．They can grow very quickly. |
| D．They are preferred by animals. |
| A．they hope to make the forest even better |
| B．the fruits from their trees are very sweet |
| C．they are proud not to depend on others |
