7 . 阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。

When I was in my second year in senior high school, I found a four-dollar-an-hour part-time job at Villanova Pizza. Like many of my friends, I longed to earn some pocket money from the job as well as gaining social experience. Just one week after I worked there, Stubby, the manager, called me into his office. As the saying goes, “life isn’t a bed of roses”. My first job ended in failure. His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others. “Oh, I’m a loser,” I thought to myself. I believed that thought was shared by my brothers, neither of whom had ever been fired, and my mother, though she would never express it in those terms.

“I am too sad to do anything,” I complained to my father.

After listening to my words, he laughed.

“It’s not funny; I’m a loser,” I said.

“No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my dear daughter,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.”

I looked into my father’s eyes and I could see he really trusted me. And I believed him. Since then, “Trust me. You are good enough” are the only words I have repeated to myself. I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished every chance I have got.

Finally, I succeeded in entering a good university. After graduation I found my dream job. I couldn’t wait to call my father and show my gratitude.

Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone around believing in you. When they believe in us, we begin to believe in ourselves, too. They tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it.

9 . In some places, people collect honey from wild bees. This is common in many parts of the world, especially South Asia. Honey hunting is a local tradition in southern India but it is not an undemanding job. The bees in southern India can grow up to the size of the smallest adult human finger. And these giant honey bees build their hives (蜂窝) on the sides of mountains!

It takes many years for a honey hunter to learn to collect honey from these hives. From a young age the honey hunter learns everything about bees. He practices climbing hundreds of meters above the ground. Before the honey season, the honey hunter prepares for many days.

When the day of the honey hunt season arrives, the honey hunter goes to the edge of the mountain early in the morning. He climbs down with a rope and lights some dry branches (树枝) on fire. The smoke makes the bees leave the hive. With the bees flying around the honey hunter, he uses a long sharp stick to gently get pieces of the wax (蜜蜡) filled with honey. He then takes them back to the village in a box made of bamboo.

Usually the hunter takes some honey and leaves some of the hive on the mountainside. He does not take the part of the hive with the baby bees in it since he does not want to destroy the home of the bees. When the honey hunter returns, the village celebrates!

“They have been hunting honey in this way for more than 2,000 years. Honey was and still is an important part of their diet, cooking and medicine,” Simone Gie from the organization Slow Food International, said.

10 . Some people express themselves through beautiful art; others are masters of the page and speak silently through writing. I, on the other hand, express myself with the greatest instrument I have, my voice.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than public speaking. At age eight I started giving speeches in local competitions. Soon I was able to participate in (参加) state competitions. During March of eighth grade, I had the best opportunity ever to practice my speaking skills. I was chosen, out of all the students entered in New Hampshire, to write and read a four-minute speech on national television. My job was to introduce Elizabeth Dole, who at the time was interested in running for president.

I was notified the day before the event and so had only one night to write and memorize my speech. When I arrived the next morning in Belford, New Hampshire, I was greeted by photographers and newspaper reporters! Soon it was time for my speech. I had a feeling of complete excitement flowing through my body. When I finished, everyone stood up and clapped. Mrs. Dole surprised me by giving me a great hug and thanking me for my comments (评论) on the importance of education. But even after she finished speaking, the excitement was far from over.

Since then I have participated in different competition and events. My favorite by far was Young Chatqua, a wonderful summer program. In Chatqua I gave a speech on the life of Margaret Bourke-White, a pioneer photographer, in a 12-minute speech that took a month to research, prepare, and memorize. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

After Chatqua, I participated in my first play, Everybody’s Crazy, and I am now organizing a debate (辩论) team. I plan to continue competitions, do volunteer work, go to Chatqua next summer, and hopefully participate in the American Legion’s Oratorical Contest next year.
