Several Musts for the New Term
With a new university term looking for either returning or new students, here are some musts to consider for the school year ahead.
Storage bag with handles
Whether you’re a freshman or returning for a new year, you have to move to your university. This is where moving boxes come in, but if you’d rather not be troubled by luggage, these storage bags are a nice choice. They have strong handles and keep water out.
Led alarm clock
Make sure you wake up on time for all of your lectures with this LED alarm clock. It’s also multi-functional, doubling up as a mirror that you can use through the day. It has one USB port, as well as a wall hook and a stand for keeping it upright.
Trouser hanger
We’ve all been there, not having quite enough room for your clothes and wondering how you can magically fit more clothes into the same space. In University the problem is worse, but this simple hanger set can conveniently hold jeans, trousers, skirts and more, helping to ease this common problem.
Mini humidifier(增湿器)
Humidifiers don’t often get talked about too much in terms of things that would be good to have in a bedroom, but there are benefits to having them. They make the room air properly wet to aid with dry skin, nose and throat issues and improve sleep.

Do you like travelling No matter travelling alone, with friends, or with a tour group, they all have advantages and disadvantages.
The best thing about travelling alone is that you can do what you want to do. No waiting around in places you aren’t interested in, no missing a bus because your friend was late. Your experience will be greatly improved by travelling alone. The main worry is loneliness, but believe me, it’s not difficult to talk to and meet people. Just remember everyone is on the same boat; everyone wants to meet new people, have fun and be friendly! There’s a problem of safety in some countries, especially for women travelling alone. You should always check the foreign office of your country for advice on safety. Buying a personal alarm is a good idea for women travelling alone.
Travelling with a friend does sound nice, but it depends on how well you get on: If you have similar interests or travel ideas, it should be wonderful. You will find it much cheaper to cook food in developed countries and share a room. However, a lot of people I meet travelling together don’t seem to be having as much fun and often go their separate ways.
Tours are great when they go well. Some of my best memories have been with tour groups. The key there is when they go well. A terrible tour guide, quiet group and terrible food can ruin our time. My advice would be never to do a tour that is too long especially in countries with safety problems or poor transport.
All in all, travelling alone is the best, but it is good to mix it up. Invite a friend from home to meet you for a few weeks. Try a tour or two—some people love them—perhaps start with a day tour.
4. How many ways of travelling are mentioned in the passage
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
5. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence
A. Other travellers have to learn boating with you.
B. Other travellers will help you make a boat.
C. Other travellers have similar feelings to yours.
D. Other travellers will teach you new rules.
6. What’s the author’s suggestion on travelling with friends
A. Don’t be late for the tour bus.
B. Always listen to others’ travel ideas.
C. Cook food when travelling in developing countries.
D. Choose those who have common interests with you.
7. Which of the following may the author agree with
A. We can try different ways of travelling.
B. Travelling with friends is more interesting than with a tour.
C. It is not necessary to get an alarm when travelling alone.
D. A terrible tour guide won’t affect the trip much.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了3种旅行方式，独自旅行，与朋友，或与旅游团一起旅行，并分析了它们的优缺点。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“No matter travelling alone, with friends, or with a tour group, they all have advantages and disadvantages. (无论是独自旅行，与朋友，或与旅游团一起旅行，它们都有优点和缺点。)”可知，文中提到了3种旅行方式，独自旅行、与朋友，或与旅游团一起旅行。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“everyone wants to meet new people, have fun and be friendly! (每个人都想认识新朋友，玩得开心，友好！)”说明每个人，包括你和其他人，都有同样的想法，从而推知划线词句“Just remember everyone is on the same boat (只要记住everyone is on the same boat)”其中划线从句意思是“其他旅行者和你有类似的想法”。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Travelling with a friend does sound nice, but it depends on how well you get on: If you have similar interests or travel ideas, it should be wonderful. (和朋友一起旅行听起来不错，但这取决于你们相处得如何：如果你们有相似的兴趣或旅行想法，那应该很棒。)”可知，关于和朋友一起旅行，作者建议选择那些和你有共同兴趣的人。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“All in all, travelling alone is the best, but it is good to mix it up. Invite a friend from home to meet you for a few weeks. Try a tour or two—some people love them—perhaps start with a day tour. (总而言之，独自旅行是最好的，但把它们混在一起也不错。从家里邀请一个朋友来聚会几周。尝试一两个旅行团——有些人喜欢——也许可以从一日游开始。)”推知，作者可能同意我们可以尝试不同的旅行方式。故选A项。
C
You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—“Multicultural London English”.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different ethnic backgrounds and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not approve of. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Besides, Yoof would use “kind-a-thing,” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To share a story. B. To make a comparision.
C. To show the author’s experience. D. To introduce the topic.
9. Which of the following statements about “Multicultural London English” is TRUE
A. It’s now spoken by people around the world.
B. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
C. It’s a modern accent that crosses educational divides.
D. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
10. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Watch out. B. I see. C. My pleasure. D. Hurry up.
11. What does the author want to tell us
A. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
B. Learning English well is very easy.
C. Languages are always changing.
D. It is important to communicate with a native speaker.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了许多人听不懂母语人士说的英语，并分析其原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. (你可以学习英语多年，但当你遇到一个以英语为母语的人时，你仍然听不懂。许多学习语言的人都知道，母语人士说的很多东西你在字典里找不到。)”结合第二段首句“ Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases.(在英国，许多地区都有不同的方言，也就是说，他们有自己独特的词汇和语法短语。)”以及下文内容介绍母语人士讲的英语听不懂的原因，可推断，本段的作用是引入文章的话题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—‘Multicultural London English’.( 伦敦有很多不同的口音，因为一个人的口音不仅仅是由他在英国的出生地决定的，语言和口音也因社会阶层和教育水平而异。因此，最近兴起了一种20世纪末创造的新口音——‘多元文化伦敦英语’。)”可知，“多元文化的伦敦英语” 是一种跨越教育鸿沟的现代口音。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For example, instead of saying something like ‘That’s good!’ or ‘I understand’, yoof will use a single adjective like ‘Safe!’, or ‘Sorted!’(例如，代替说‘那很好!’或‘我明白’时，年轻人会使用一个形容词，比如‘Safe!’或‘Sorted!’)”可知，“Sorted!”在“yoof(年轻人)文化”中是“我明白”的意思。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about ‘international English’, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language. (作为英语学习者，我们可能想知道我们能和以英语为母语的人交谈得多好，但也许我们不必担心这一点。英国文化协会委托进行的一项研究表明，当今世界上94%的英语使用者都是非英语母语者。事实上，当我们想到‘国际英语’时，并不存在母语人士或非母语人士之分。英国不再拥有英语。)”可知，作者想告诉我们如果你听不懂母语人士的话，不要担心。故选A项。
D
Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded (反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a, sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan, would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
12. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A. Its population is increasing. B. It has already died out.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
13. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A. Charity organizations. B. Federal agencies.
C. Protections of the ESA. D. Local companies.
14. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts
B. Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses
C. Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off
D. Protection of American Native Species Works
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了木鹳由于保护，种群数量增加了两倍，这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》提供的野生动物保护。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.(这些鸟已经适应了新的筑巢区域，近年来，它们的种群数量增加了两倍，从29个增加到99个)”可推知，木鹳的数量在增长。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.(这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》（ESA）提供的野生动物保护，该法案可以对这些物种所在地区的各种活动施加限制，例如开发、采矿和石油钻探。这一举动救了木鹳，也起了作用；保护和重建整个东南部的重要栖息地，这改善了水质，并使无数以该地区为家的其他物种受益。自1973年以来，《濒危物种法案》拯救了99%的濒危物种，其中100种动植物因恢复或至少稳定而被除名)”可知，ESA的保护最有助于恢复木鹳的数量。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.(美国内政部长Deb Haaland说：“拟议中的木鹳摘牌是联邦机构、州和地方政府、部落、保护组织和普通公民为保护和恢复我们最濒危的物种所做的辛勤工作的一个重要里程碑，也是一个了不起的成就。”)”可推知，Deb Haaland对木鹳被摘牌持积极态度。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list. (1984年濒临灭绝的木鹳，在佛罗里达州和其他南方州已经恢复到足够的数量。美国野生动物官员建议将水禽从濒危物种名单中删除)”结合文章主要说明了木鹳由于保护，种群数量增加了两倍，这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》提供的野生动物保护。可知，B选项“拯救濒危木鹳的进展”最符合文章标题。故选B。

A girl went to her mother and told her mother about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots (锅) with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the water came to the boil. She placed carrots into the first pot. Then she placed eggs into the second pot. Finally, she placed ground coffee beans into the last pot. She let them boil without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She took the carrots, the eggs and the coffee out with a scoop and placed each of them in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, the mother asked, “Tell me, what do you see ” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” the young woman replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked her to drink the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted it.
The daughter then asked, “What does it mean, Mom ” Her mother explained that these objects had faced the same adversity (逆境) —boiling water, but they reacted differently. The carrots had been hard. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, they softened and became weak. The eggs had been weak. Their thin outer shells had protected their liquid interior (内部). But after sitting through the boiling water, their inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. “Which are you ” the mother asked her daughter.

【答案】参考范文：
The girl became silent and fell into thought. She asked herself, “When adversity knocks on my door, how do I respond Am I a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean ” She hesitated for a moment, and then had an answer in mind. She didn’t want to be the carrots that were easily defeated. She decided that she would learn from the eggs to have a hardened heart after experiencing hardship. More importantly, she was determined to become the coffee beans to change the hot water. She started to believe that she was able to overcome all the difficulties and finally got success.
The girl changed completely from then on. She became strong and brave and didn’t give up easily. She began to face life with a positive attitude. No matter what problems she came across, she would always remember the lesson her mother had taught her. She knew that more difficulties would only make her stronger, and after having overcoming them, she could change them into something nice. Finally, after accepting many challenges, she was able to live the life she wanted.

A
Several Musts for the New Term
With a new university term looking for either returning or new students, here are some musts to consider for the school year ahead.
Storage bag with handles
Whether you’re a freshman or returning for a new year, you have to move to your university. This is where moving boxes come in, but if you’d rather not be troubled by luggage, these storage bags are a nice choice. They have strong handles and keep water out.
Led alarm clock
Make sure you wake up on time for all of your lectures with this LED alarm clock. It’s also multi-functional, doubling up as a mirror that you can use through the day. It has one USB port, as well as a wall hook and a stand for keeping it upright.
Trouser hanger
We’ve all been there, not having quite enough room for your clothes and wondering how you can magically fit more clothes into the same space. In University the problem is worse, but this simple hanger set can conveniently hold jeans, trousers, skirts and more, helping to ease this common problem.
Mini humidifier(增湿器)
Humidifiers don’t often get talked about too much in terms of things that would be good to have in a bedroom, but there are benefits to having them. They make the room air properly wet to aid with dry skin, nose and throat issues and improve sleep.

●If you show interest in the goods above, you can click the link to know more about them.
1. The alarm clock can also be used to________.
A. make up B. watch videos C. monitor health D. make calls
2 Which is helpful for improving sleep
A. The alarm clock. B. The trouser hanger.
C. The storage bag. D. The mini humidifier.

Do you like travelling No matter travelling alone, with friends, or with a tour group, they all have advantages and disadvantages.
The best thing about travelling alone is that you can do what you want to do. No waiting around in places you aren’t interested in, no missing a bus because your friend was late. Your experience will be greatly improved by travelling alone. The main worry is loneliness, but believe me, it’s not difficult to talk to and meet people. Just remember everyone is on the same boat; everyone wants to meet new people, have fun and be friendly! There’s a problem of safety in some countries, especially for women travelling alone. You should always check the foreign office of your country for advice on safety. Buying a personal alarm is a good idea for women travelling alone.
Travelling with a friend does sound nice, but it depends on how well you get on: If you have similar interests or travel ideas, it should be wonderful. You will find it much cheaper to cook food in developed countries and share a room. However, a lot of people I meet travelling together don’t seem to be having as much fun and often go their separate ways.
Tours are great when they go well. Some of my best memories have been with tour groups. The key there is when they go well. A terrible tour guide, quiet group and terrible food can ruin our time. My advice would be never to do a tour that is too long especially in countries with safety problems or poor transport.
All in all, travelling alone is the best, but it is good to mix it up. Invite a friend from home to meet you for a few weeks. Try a tour or two—some people love them—perhaps start with a day tour.
4. How many ways of travelling are mentioned in the passage
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
5. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence
A. Other travellers have to learn boating with you.
B. Other travellers will help you make a boat.
C. Other travellers have similar feelings to yours.
D. Other travellers will teach you new rules.
6. What’s the author’s suggestion on travelling with friends
A. Don’t be late for the tour bus.
B. Always listen to others’ travel ideas.
C. Cook food when travelling in developing countries.
D. Choose those who have common interests with you.
7. Which of the following may the author agree with
A. We can try different ways of travelling.
B. Travelling with friends is more interesting than with a tour.
C. It is not necessary to get an alarm when travelling alone.
D. A terrible tour guide won’t affect the trip much.
C
You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—“Multicultural London English”.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different ethnic backgrounds and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not approve of. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Besides, Yoof would use “kind-a-thing,” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To share a story. B. To make a comparision.
C. To show the author’s experience. D. To introduce the topic.
9. Which of the following statements about “Multicultural London English” is TRUE
A It’s now spoken by people around the world.
B. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
C. It’s a modern accent that crosses educational divides.
D. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
10. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Watch out. B. I see. C. My pleasure. D. Hurry up.
11. What does the author want to tell us
A. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
B. Learning English well is very easy.
C. Languages are always changing.
D. It is important to communicate with a native speaker.
D
Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded (反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a, sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan, would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
12. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A. Its population is increasing. B. It has already died out.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
13. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A. Charity organizations. B. Federal agencies.
C. Protections of the ESA. D. Local companies.
14. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts
B. Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses
C. Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off
D. Protection of American Native Species Works

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A girl went to her mother and told her mother about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots (锅) with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the water came to the boil. She placed carrots into the first pot. Then she placed eggs into the second pot. Finally, she placed ground coffee beans into the last pot. She let them boil without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She took the carrots, the eggs and the coffee out with a scoop and placed each of them in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, the mother asked, “Tell me, what do you see ” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” the young woman replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked her to drink the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted it.
The daughter then asked, “What does it mean, Mom ” Her mother explained that these objects had faced the same adversity (逆境) —boiling water, but they reacted differently. The carrots had been hard. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, they softened and became weak. The eggs had been weak. Their thin outer shells had protected their liquid interior (内部). But after sitting through the boiling water, their inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. “Which are you ” the mother asked her daughter.
