Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.
Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “Why should I suffer this ” “Isn't there a better way to do this ” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progress in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.
There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.
How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine (机器) let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution; he put a huge X ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.
“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way，” a worker said.
“Really How？”
“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”
See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.
1. Some students spend less time on schoolwork but do better in exams ________.
A.because of their hard work
B.because of different education
C.because they try to find a better way
D.because they study for a much longer time
2. Someone wrote to the soap factory and complained that ________.
A.the soapbox he bought was empty B.their soap was too expensive
C.the soap he bought was terrible D.their service was very bad
3. The soap factory could only ________ near the packing machine to solve the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way.
A.set some soapboxes B.set an X ray machine
C.put two large computers D.put a huge fan
4. The phrase “blow away” in the passage means “________”.
A.停止 B.远离 C.吹走 D.逃脱
5. The article mainly tells us we should ________ in order to succeed.
A.work hard for long hours and study all the time
B.work hard like the engineer and think smart like the worker
C.spend much less time on our schoolwork than before
D.spend enough money repairing the machine for any problem

四、任务型阅读。
“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were young. Why aren’t some parents so friendly in their children’s eyes
One of the most important reasons is when someone becomes a parent, he / she often worries about things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born (出生). They do a lot for you. Though something would make you angry, they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice (选择) of friends, the food you eat, your study at school, how much sleep you get and so on. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you get home later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Talk about your ideas with them and they may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. When you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.
