【推荐3】Imagine you’re taking an exam, and you find it difficult to answer those questions. And time’s running out. Would you waste the little chance that you get to cheat? Probably, some of us have once cheated in the test.

Certainly, it’s not correct. It’s important to follow the rules because the world would turn into a total mess without rules. However, with the time passing by and the development of society, some rules have become barriers (障碍) to people’s success. A famous person once said,   “We have so many rules in life about everything. But it’s impossible to be a creator if you’re too well-behaved. You have to think outside the box.

Some are created to restrain people, and some become old and boring. So sometimes, it’s okay to break the rules. In 1823, William Webb Ellis was a pupil at Rugby School. He was tired of playing football in the old way, so the player took the ball in his arms and ran with it during a school football match. In this way, he started a new sport: rugby (英式橄榄球), named after his school.

Since you’ve already known why someone wants to break the rules, now you need to learn how to do it.

Learn the rules first. Qi Baishi was a talented Chinese artist, but he spent much time learning traditional drawing and painting skills before he found his own styles. Master them before you break them—that’s what you can learn from great minds.

Evaluate (评估) if the result is worth them. Each person has his or her own values. Before breaking the rules, think over whether they will go against your values. And the moment you decide to do that, you must be ready to have a wise thought to face the bad results.

4. The author uses the example of Qi Baishi to tell us that ________.

A．we should master the rules before we break them	B．it’s important to follow the rules

A．How to Break the Rules	B．Ways to Follow the Rules

【推荐1】I was traveling by train from Circular Quay to Central in Sydney. Quietly sitting there reading, I suddenly found myself listening to the train guard’s announcement (通告). Usually, the guard’s announcement is quite boring or hard to understand. Few people will listen to these messages. But this one was different.

The guard said something along these lines, “Good morning, ladies, gentlemen and children. This is the 7:35 am service from Circular Quay to Central. You’ll be pleased to know that we are right on time. And what a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, the temperature is about 21 degrees, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. Thanks for catching my train this morning and I hope to see you again soon. Have a great day.”

Wow! Have you ever heard an announcement like that? I certainly hadn’t. As I looked up from my paper, I noticed that other passengers were also looking up and appeared to be listening. Not only that, everyone was smiling!

I started thinking about this. As I got off the train at Central, I walked up to the guardroom and started to thank him. “Well, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful announcement this morning. It made me feel cheerful. Most importantly, it got everyone’s attention and had everyone smile. Thank you so much for giving me and other passengers such a good start of the day. Please keep doing it.”

There is an important message for me in what happened today. When people are happy in their work, it shows in what they do and say.

【推荐3】I was 15 months old, a happy carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. A piece of glass cut my eye badly. From then on, my injured sightless (失明的), cloudy gray eye lived on with me. Sometimes people asked me embarrassing (尴尬的) questions. Whenever kids played games, I was always the “monster (怪物)”. I was always imagining that everyone looked down on me.

Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying. As a child, I thought Mom meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump (碰撞) into something because you are not looking.”

As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.

In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance (外貌).”

My mom’s love was the sunshine that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be confident but also to have deep compassion (同情) for others.

“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me lives on.
