I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box and put the ants into it. Soon they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. With my mom's help, I kept a record of what happened each day and named the ants.
One day when I had put my face close to the structure (building), accidentally I knocked it over, and all the tunnels fell in. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of “frustration (挫折)”. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Over the years, I came to realize the ants have the spirit of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each worked at their task. The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance (毅力) are indeed the keys to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently —Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment.
So I try to live my life like those hardworking ants. But, unlike them, I try not to let frustration defeat (击败) me. I will have to keep building my tunnels.

A. for the ants to live in B. to get sunlight in

A. The ants have the spirit of teamwork.
B. The ants give up when they face frustration.
C. The ants should be admired for their hard work.

A. Persistent (执着) and friendly. B. Selfish and foolish

Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a fresh man at Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target (对象) of taunts and laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother was simply not able to buy him new clothes.
Two of the kids were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their hurtful words felt like bullying (霸凌) and Todd seemed to slowly fall apart. Something finally became clear.
"I felt like I needed to do something", Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett made a plan. They went home and hunted through their own rooms. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was surely afraid about being called out by the larger boys.
"He wasn't smiling or anything, and I was like, 'I think this is going to make you smile,' Graham says, "I told him, 'We're in the same third period, and I am sorry for laughing at you and I want to give something to you to make it up." He then handed Todd a large heavy bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. "I was very happy," he told WATN-TV, "Shocked, completely." And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe(衣橱). He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now, he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.
"I've been bullied my whole life," Todd told CBS News. Thinking of the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he added, "The best day of my whole life, basically."
（1）What does the underlined word "taunts" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Tears B. Unkind words C. Interesting stories D. Joy
（2）Why was Todd afraid when called out by Garrett and Graham
A. Because Garrett and Graham were larger boys.
B. Because Todd's spirit was destroyed.
C. Because Garrett and Graham may bully him again.
D. Because Todd's mother couldn't afford his new clothes.
（3）According to the passage, what do you think truly made Todd feel happy
A. A new wardrobe. B. A brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
C. The kindness from Garrett and Graham. D. Clean shirts and shorts.
（4）What is the best title for the text
A. Stop Bullying B. The Story of Best Friends C. A New Wardrobe D. The Best Day Ever
