【推荐1】Hi, boys and girls. My name is Bob and I’m in Grade 7. I go to school from Monday to Friday. Monday is my favorite school day. Do you know why? Because we have a Chinese class at 9:00 on Monday and our Chinese teacher Mrs. Miller tells us Chinese stories (讲故事). I love Chinese stories!

Then we have two math classes in the morning. That’s OK because our math teacher Mr. Green is very nice. And I’m good at math!

We have a music class at 2:00 on Monday afternoon. Music is my favorite subject because the teacher Mr. Singer is interesting! He doesn’t talk (说话) in his classes. He sings (唱歌)! Then we have a P.E. class at 2:45 p.m. I like it because it’s very relaxing.

【推荐1】Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track in my neighbourhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am faster than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes me feel proud.

One day, a short man came. He didn’t look like much of a runner. I saw him get out of the car and warm up before running when I passed by two walkers. He started running a few meters ahead of me. He was fast but I sped up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great difficulty in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, so I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe easily without sounding like I had a lung disease (肺病) and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow.

I learned several lessons. There will always be slower and faster ones. Some have natural talent, and some have trained harder. Don’t judge (判断) the capacity of a person by how he or she looks.

The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often end up hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up, but run your race to your best. Don’t run fast when you should be running slowly. Don’t run at all when you should be walking. Don’t walk when you should be running.

1. What was the writer’s first impression of the short man?

A．He must be an amazing runner.	B．He was too proud of himself.
C．He couldn’t be good at running.	D．He could be an experienced driver.

2. What happened to the writer when he slowed down?

A．His foot didn’t hurt any more.	B．His breath became much heavier.
C．He felt angry for falling behind.	D．He started to have a lung disease.

3. What does the underlined word “capacity” probably mean?

A．hobby

B．advantage

C．personality

D．ability

4. What’s the best title for the passage?

A．The slower, the healthier	B．The faster, the better
C．Keep fit through running	D．Enjoy your own speed

【推荐2】When my teenaged son became seriously ill, terrible times for my family began. Our once-happy home became tense and depressed. My husband and I were tired out under the great stress of caring for my son. It was as if we forgot how to communicate, we couldn’t have a simple conversation without a fighting. Our marriage was on the point of breaking up.

One evening, my son and I were talking about gifts. I remembered my Christmas present from my husband, a kazoo. I was awkward (令人尴尬的) when I received it because I couldn’t get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone (萨克斯) player. However hard I tried, it just never worked. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten. But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it. After some trouble, I found it.

“You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed. He took the kazoo and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound. Frustrated (沮丧的), he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear. We burst into laughter. My son took a turn to play the kazoo. He did no better than us, causing more laughing.

Seeing his face light up, we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in. It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years.
