【推荐1】When I was a little child, my mom sometimes liked to make breakfast food for dinner. And I remember one night she made breakfast after a long hard day at work.

That evening, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and very burned (完全烤焦的） cookies in front of my dad. I remembered waiting to see if anyone would say anything. But all my dad did was to reach for his cookie, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I didn't remember what I told him that night. But I did remember watching him eat bite of that cookie!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remembered hearing my mom say sorry to my dad for burning the cookies. And I'll never forget what he said, “Dear, I love burned cookies.”

Late that night, I went to kiss Dad goodnight. And I asked him if he really did like his cookies burned. He gave me a big hug and said, “Your mom had a hard day at work today, and she's very tired. Besides, a little burned cookie never hurt anyone!”

【推荐2】When you look at a giraffe, what do you see? A leopard’s coat? A camel’s head and neck? A cow’s feet? Or a sake’s tongue? Why does the giraffe have so many different characteristics (特征)? The giraffe needs all of them to survive (生存).

Giraffes have long necks for two reasons. First, they eat from the tops of very tall trees. Second, they need to see over the tops of the trees. They can see danger, like a lion, from far away. Then they have time to run away or hide.

The giraffe’s coat is also important to its survival. It has brown spots and is very thick. The spots help the giraffe hide among the trees. The giraffe’s thick coat protects it from the sun.

Two other important characteristics of the giraffe are is large eyes and long thick eyelashes. With its large eyes, it can see very well. The eyelashes protect its eyes. The giraffe sees better than most other large animals in Africa.

A giraffe’s hard feet and strong legs are also important for self-protection. If a lion comes too close, the giraffe can kick it on the head. That usually kills the lion.

One last characteristic is the giraffe’s long black tongue. It is about 18 inches long with their tongues, giraffes get food far above their heads. They also clean their eyes and ears with them. Why is the giraffe’s tongue black? The color protects it from the sun.

Maybe the giraffe looks like four animals. But of course we know it is not. It is one animal, with many characteristics. Its characteristics help it survive.

1. Which of the following characteristics for a giraffe to survive is NOT mentioned?

A．Thick eyelashes.

B．Long neck.

【推荐3】根据短文内容，判断正误。

Once upon a time, there were four seeds(种子) who were good friends. They travelled by wind and came to a forest. They hid themselves in the ground, and hoped that they would be able to grow into big trees.

But when the first seed began to grow, they realized it would not be such an easy task. There lived a group of monkeys, and the smallest monkeys loved to throw bananas at any plant that started to grow. They threw so many bananas at the first seed that she was almost cut into two. When she told the other seeds what happened, they thought that it would be better to wait until the monkeys went away.

They all agreed with that except the first seed. She thought she would at least try it. When she tried harder, she was hurt by bananas. The other seeds asked her to stop trying. But she had make up her mind to become a tree. She tried again and again. Every time she was hit by bananas, she would try harder. The scars(伤疤) left by the bananas helped her grow stronger than the other seeds. Later, she could withstand(经受住) the hit of the bananas. She had already grown so well that the monkeys couldn’t hurt her badly. At last, she grew into the biggest tree in the forest. The other seeds still hid themselves in the ground, hoping the monkeys would go away soon. That’s the way with a lot of things. The final victory always belongs to those who keep trying.

1. The seeds in the passage came to a forest because of a wind.
2. The four friends hoped to grow into big trees with the help of the monkeys.
3. The monkeys in the forest all loved to throw bananas at plants.
4. Only the first seed tried her best to overcome difficulties to grow up.
5. The passage mainly tells us that we should keep trying to get what we want.
