【推荐3】Oscar Bloom was unhappy. It was his eighth birthday. All his friends were going to come over that evening. His little sister Samantha had made him the brightest, friendship-birthday bracelet. He had heard his dad whispering to his mom the day before about “picking up the little puppy,” and had a feeling that one of his presents might be a little dog that he had been wishing for ever since he was five.

So what was wrong?

Oscar was sad because there was one very, very, hugely important person who was missing today — his beloved Grandma Rose. Last year she fell ill and then one day she just wasn’t there.

“Grandma’s gone, but she still loves you very much,” mom explained.

“I miss Grandma Rose,” Oscar said.

“Well, Grandma has a present for you!”

A present from Grandma? How?

Mom pressed ‘play’ on the CD player, and Oscar heard his grandmother’s voice!”My dear Oscar, ”the recording began. “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you today to celebrate such an exciting day, but I’m with you in spirit. I’m with you all the time. As your birthday present, I’d like to tell you about the day you were born, which was the very first day I met you. That was exactly eight years ago. What a tiny little thing you were back then! The doctor hardly had time to pick you up before you started to make sounds! Every doctor waits for the baby to cry, to make sure the baby is healthy, but you, Oscar, you changed the rules on them. Your mother doesn’t remember this because she was so tired, but I will never forget it. You opened your mouth, and you gave a little laugh! That’s right, you laughed! And only then did you open your mouth wider to start crying like all of the rest of the babies in the hospital. I hope you remember this story for the rest of your life, young man,” Grandma Rose continued. “This is the beginning of your oral history! My present to you!”

Oscar couldn’t believe his ears. His own Grandma Rose was telling him a story he had never heard before. A big smile grew across Oscar’s face. What a special birthday this had turned out to be!

A．She was dead.

A．He didn’t make a sound.

B．He didn’t laugh but cried.

C．He laughed before he started to cry.

D．He cried because the doctor didn’t pick him up.

3. According to the passage, which present is the most valuable to Oscar?

【推荐1】As a student, I was very afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.

One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class. So he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said.

“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard (硬纸板) folded (折叠的) in half, wrote their names in bold (加粗地) with the most eye-catching color, and then put the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”

“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.” After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

1. What did Mr. Black want the students to do in his class?

【推荐1】A scientist made an experiment. She divided people into three groups and asked them to walk to a village.

The first group didn’t know the name of the village or how far the village is. They are made to follow the guide. Some people started to say they were unhappy to continue and show their dissatisfaction when they walked halfway. After then, most of them gave up walking on.

The second group were told the name and the distance of the village. When they walked halfway, they still had the courage to keep on. However, while they were walking to three quarters of the way, some people were tired and bored.

Not only had the third group gotten to know the name and the distance, but also there were some stones which showed how far they were from the village. They sang and talked along the way and finally got to the destination happily.

From the experiment, we found that the first group had the hardest time in reaching the destination because they didn’t know where the village was. However, the third group reached the village easily because they had goals on the way. People are more likely to succeed when they have their goals on the way of achieving their dreams.
