When he was small，Hill was a famous bad boy.
At the age of 9，his father married his stepmother.At that time they lived poor in the countryside while his stepmother was from a wealthy family.
His father introduced Hill to his stepmother as he said，“Dear，I hope you notice in the entire shire this is the worst boy，who has made me have no other way.Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you，or do a bad thing you will never imagine.”
To Hill's surprise，his stepmother went up to him with a smile，held up his head and looked at him carefully.She then turned around to tell her husband，“You're wrong.He is not the worst boy in the entire shire，but the cleverest and creative boy.Only he doesn't find a place to show himself.”
His stepmother's words warmed his heart，his eyes full of tears.With this，he started building friendship with his stepmother.And this became the drive of his life，making him create 28 successful golden rules，which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success.
Before his stepmother came，no one praised him smart，and his father and neighbors considered him as a bad boy.However，his stepmother's words changed his life.
When Hill was 14 years old，his stepmother bought him a used typewriter and said to him，“I believe you will become a writer.” Hill accepted his stepmother's gift and expectation，and started writing things to a local newspaper.He understood his stepmother's strong feeling of interest in his family while he saw with his own eyes she had changed his family.Therefore，he would do as well as she expected him to.
The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century.
Praise will never be unnecessary，especially for children.A sincere (真诚的)praise may be better than 10，000 bad words.

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son.He had never seen such beautiful falcons before.He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months,the king came to see how the training was going on.He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky,while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly,just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly.But none of them succeeded.One day,while the king was taking a walk in the forest,an idea came to his mind.Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem.He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning,the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely.“It is unbelievable!”shouted the king.“How could you make it happen ”
The farmer replied,“It’s very easy.I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings.We all have“two flying wings”in our hearts as well,but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort.We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the“branch”we are resting on breaks.

( ) 17.Why did the king call all his falconers together
A.Because he wanted to get more falcons.
B.Because he wanted the other falcon to fly.
C.Because he wanted them to see his falcons.
D.Because he wanted to know more about falcons.
( ) 18.Who finally made the other falcon fly in the sky
A.The king. B.The king’s son. C.The farmer. D.The best falconer.
( ) 19.How did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky

What an Unforgettable Day
Last summer vacation I decided to visit my grandparents because I haven't seen them for many years.
That day when I was about to leave for the bus station, I found I had left my ID card and mobile phone on the bed. After I got to the bus station, I found I had arrived the station two hours later. While I was waiting in the waiting room, a woman came and asked me if I could help her look after her two boys for a while. I agreed and we played games until the woman came back. After they left, I found my wallet had been stolen. I called the police right away. They told me that the woman had cheated me. That made me really disappointed and worried. Finally, I got to my grandparents' home with the help of the police.
It's a lesson to me. But I think we still should keep a kind heart, although the society isn't good enough.
