The rose tried to move its roots away from the cactus,but it could not move.As the days passed,the red rose would look down on the cactus and say insulting things,like: “This plant is useless.” or “How sorry I am to be hisneighbour!”
But the cactus never got upset and he even tried to advise the rose,saying,“God did not create any form of life without a purpose,dear rose.” The rose ignored the words from the cactus and continued to be her proud self.
Spring passed,and the weather became very warm.The rainfall was less and less as the days went by.Life became difficult in the forest,as the plants and animals neededwater.Because of lack of water,the red rose began to wilt.

“We are sure we are living in asocietythat we all care about our children.But we feel so sad andangrywith that.For the children like my son!We can’t help them We can’t protect them?” said the father.

A Russian dog named Shavi was hit by a car and the driver left without offering help.She was saved by a woman named Nina who took her in,nursed her back to health,and then found her a home.But Shavi escaped from hernewhome andwalkednearly 200 miles back to be with her guardian angel after twoweeks.
Last winter,Shavi had been trying tosurviveas a streetdogduring the cold Russian winter when her life nearly ended.She was the victim of a hit­and­run,which resulted in two badly brokenlegs,among other injuries.She nearly froze to death,but two cyclists found her and brought her to a vet.They wanted tofindShavi a home to the public,and only one person responded—Nina.
The woman brought the injured dog back to her home,and nursed her back to health.She even taught Shavi how to walk again,and trained her to understand basic commands.
Shavi was a fighter,and on the first day after the surgery,wouldn’t even move herself on the blanket set out for her.Rather,she tried to make it outside,and was found lying on the doorstep.Nina looked after her and spent the next six monthshelpingher recover.Some parts were easy; Shavi was a smart student,and easily learned commands.But she was terrified of strangers and cars,and it took a long time to get her accustomed to the outside world again.
Though she would have loved to have kept her,obstacles prevented Nina from doing so.Herapartment_was too small,especially with three cats and two other rescue dogs,and her job and family commitments kept her from giving the new one as muchattentionas sheneeded.
As much as it pained her to do it,she searched for someone to take her in,but the onlyfriendswilling to do so lived 180 miles away.They lived out in the countryside,and Shavi would have more room to walk around.Nina believed the newownerwas truly the best choice for her.

【答案】However,only days after arriving at her new home,Shavi went missing after she dug a hole under the fence.Worried,her newownerscalled Nina to tell her their sad news—Shavi was once again living by herself out on the streets.Almost twoweekslater,Nina was walking down the road when she was surprised at something touching herleg.It was Shavi!Nina burst into tears,hardly able to believe that this dogwalkedso far just tofindher.
What was most fascinating about the reunion is that Shavi also moves others.Nina’s family had moved to a biggerapartment.“I’ve heard amazing stories about dogs’ loyalty,but I never imagined this sort of thing would ever happen to me.Even now,I can hardly believe this dog traveled such a long distance to find us,” said Nina,“I would never give this kind offriendaway again.I never grow tired of repeating this—animals are the most devoted and loving creatures.Theyneedour love and care.”Day3

A mother was angry with her daughter’sschoolafter the youngster was sent home because hertrouserswere believed tootightby teachers.Teachersat Barnsley Academy,South Yorkshire,have been lining up pupils and measuring their trouser width with a ruler if they don’t look appropriate.
The school introduced a strict uniform policy just after Christmas and it has made some parents and pupils angry.On its website Barnsley Academy states trousers must be at least 10cm wide and says smart,tailored,plain,black school trousers of waist height to ankle length are to be worn.A spokesperson for the school,said: “The academy has a strict uniform policy which parents and students are fully aware of and which is being properly carried out.All students are expected to adhere to the policy.Ouruniform_policy here at Cardinal Newman Catholic School is well established and we are simply reminding students of the policy as they come back to start a new term.”
Jane Ogden,36,the mother of Ellie,14 and Mollie Young,12,who bothstudyin the school,is one of the parents less thanimpressedwith the rule.Her daughter Ellie was_stoppedfrom going to school between Monday and Wednesday last week for her trousers being too tight,even though,she claims,they were 13cm wide. Ellie was not alone when she was given suchorders—19 other girls were also being sent home on the same day.
Mrs Ogden,who spent £72 on trousers for her seven children at the start of the year,said teachers were going too far.She said:“The school said that it was a changing problem and that they needed to show the children how to be respectful.I pride myself in my children giving me respect but I think we should respect them as well.” The school has thought these trousers suitable.Mrs Ogden,said:“Ellie is in year 10,so it’s an important GCSE(普通中等教育证书) year in hereducationand now she has to catch up with work.”

I was moved to hear them,inspired even,I did feel slightly conflicted(斗争).Here I was,acollege_dropout_who is having a second try in her early 30s not because she has to,but because she wants to.Having gone through my life and reaching where I am today without the much desired college diploma,I find the education is a sure­fire ticket tosuccess.
And whatvaluablelearning she is experiencing at this young age,that with her education she can one day impart knowledge and skills to other children who come from similar backgrounds to hers.If at the age of nine she has such noble dreams,I am certain this girl,should be given theopportunityto pursue the education she so dreams,will be an instrumental agent of change in the society.Isn’t that inspiring

【答案】To me,it is not education that makes the person but the learning that the person does.There is a clear distinction betweeneducationandlearning.What happens in aclassroom,what is taught to students—that is the education.Learning Learning is what the student takes from the education that is given to them.Education is passive,learning is active.Learning can be done anywhere,sometimes muchbetteroutside the classroom.
As I was listening to the two of them,I was thinking all of this in my head.How do I,as the nextspeaker,go up there after them,talk about mydreamsand about pursuing them despite not having a degree Should I remove that part from my talk and change my opening statement,“I am acollege_dropout”? How do I look at the mother and daughter and tell them that education is important but it is not everything But then again,I was quite wrong in thinking that way.It is easy for me to say that education is not everything.

A month ago,my3­year­oldmet myfifth­gradeteacher.I had not seenMrs.Eldersince I invited her to my high school graduation.She was the only adult to join myliving_roomdancing,and instead of feeling any embarrassed,I felt delighted.I have_treasuredthat memory over the last dozen years,wondering if she was well.I figured she surely had retired,and as I began teaching full time I tried to put my finger on what it was that made her so important to me.
My mom ran into Mrs.Elder at University Place this fall.I say that like it is entirely natural,but I can only imagine running into my ownstudents’ parents 20 years from now and having them remember me.What is it that makes her so memorable
They exchanged email addresses,and a few days later I wasdelightedto get an email from her.She said she’d love to meet with me.So one December night,Barbara Elder came back into my life.
I searched her face and she seemed just as I remembered her when I was 11 and graduating from elementary school in Chapel Hill.Her voice was calm and happy and kind.That’s the memory and the experience!I realized I have carried with me all these years.Elder presented a small gift to mydaughter.
“This is for you,” she told my 3­year­old,hervoice_comforting to hear even as an adult.My daughter knelt with her and together they tore open the wrapping paper to get a brightly colored calendar.“Do you know what this is?” Mrs.Elder asked,and my daughtershookher head.“This is to help us count to Christmas,” she said,“and since today is the first of December,we get to find number one.”

【答案】As Mrs.Elder patiently explained its purpose,my daughter listened carefully and held it like a treasure.It seemed this was exactly whereMrs.Elderwanted to be,on a former student’sliving_roomfloor,introducing a calendar to a3­year­old.I think this method helped her students unlock aspects in themselves,like wonder and joy,to become explorers of themselves and their learning.Watching Mrs.Elder with mydaughter,I felt a sense of new hope; this is the kind of teacher I want to become.And it turns out Mrs.Elder still had something to teach me.
Rather than adding over­excitement to a busy season,the calendar added wonder.Each day my daughter remembered to ask me for her chocolate; together we talked about what day it was and she hunted for the number.When she found the hidden piece,she examined it indelightand showed me.I smiled back,and each day silently thanked my_fifth­grade_teacher,whose kindness had unlocked joy in my life once again.

Where were you when you first heardMy_Heart_Will_Go_On You know that love song that took over the world in the late 1990s,the one that ruled radios and television screens,that trilled through the air when you rang your neighbour’s doorbell,or rang out of a Valentine’s Day musical card—thesongwe love to hate now because it is almost shameful to admit how much we listened to it in 1998.I’m no fan of the song,but I’ll tell you one thing—it saved mylife.
I remember where I was when I heard the song,13 years old,only a few weeks away from receiving myclasseight report card.When my mother and I went to collect it from school,the skies were grey.On the left side of the report card was the failure of my choosing—Maths,Physics and Chemistry—on the bottom of the right hand side it said Not Promoted(不升级) in red ink.My mother,an English teacher in another Calcutta school,was too proud to beg the principal for the three marks I needed in Chemistry to be promoted to class nine.I walked along,thinking of the last song I waswatching_on MTV before we left for school.It was Dion’s all­knowing hitMyHeartWillGoOn:“You_have_come_to_show_you,go on...”
I was a fool to have ever thought that I could get away with notstudyingand watching MTV for hours on end.Till class eight,my father hadrefusedto get a cable connection on the grounds that my brother and I would forever be glued to the screen,not study andfailthe exams.The year after he gave in to his desire to watch late night football,I proved him right.I failed class eight because I was in love with the Backstreet Boys and would watch MTV all the time so that I wouldn’t miss a single video.That’s the whole truth and the band will never know the price I paid for my love.

【答案】Failing the year changed the world as I knew it.Overnight,it seemed as though everything had changed.I lost my friends in school because every conversation was filled with pity,theirs,and shame,mine.I was stopped fromwatchingTV. At school,some teachers ignored my raising hands because I’d alreadystudiedthe text before butfailed.I used to love singing,now mylifewas filled with sadness.
Some months later,when the talent competition was announced in school,I was picked for the final round.On the day of the contest,I stood before the entire school,closed my eyes and sang thesong.In that moment,I realised what “You_have_come_to_show_you” meant to me—I had come to show me to my classmates and my teachers,to show them that I wasn’t just a girl who got held back,that failed,that I was good for something,that I was enough the way I was.Sometimes,when you sing like you mean the words,chances are you might win.Day7

A former Mayo doctor is calling it “a Christmas miracle” that he survived being trapped overnight Dec.19 on a_frozen_North Dakotafieldafter breaking hislegon a hunting trip.
Richard Olsen said the biggest lesson from his accident is people shouldn’t let fear and uncertainty prevent them reaching out to see if someone is all right,something Olsen said probablyhelpedsave his life.
Olsen was hunting on a cousin’s land near Watford City.On Dec.19,he tried a new spot and forgot to bring his cell phone,the only time on the trip.He walked more than half a mile with two dogs to a harvested wheat field.Suddenly he stepped on a thin crust ofsnow.It collapsed and dropped him four feet to the bottom.
“I knew immediately I was in trouble and I was going to hurt myself,” Olsen said.“I was suddenly picking up a lot of speed.” His left leg hit,which was badlyinjured.
He lay on his side to reach for his gun,unloaded it and used it as a stick.He spent an hour and a half climbing.When he was partly up,he slipped and slid back down.“I told myself that if I didn’t get myself out of thatcave,I wasn’t going to have a very goodnight,” Olsen said.
He worked his foot free and climbed more slowly and carefully out of the cave.Olsen immediately realized the task before him.The accident occurred about 4 p.m.,and it was nearing 7 p.m.with the road far away as the sun was setting.
Olsen focused on crawling(爬) to safety.Even with his gun,Olsen found it wasimpossibleto walk.Instead,he sat down and pushed himself backward less than 40 inches at a time with his good leg.“I’ve always been stubborn.We all face moment when we must be very persistent.Crawling on my backside was worth it to get back to my family,” Olsen said.Progress wasexhaustingand required frequent breaks.

Getting my daughter to answer her cell phone almost always results in hearing Lady Gaga screaming back at me.If I send her amessage,I will get a response within 30 seconds.What I receive,though,is a number of letters and jargon(胡言乱语) that I don’t understand,such as “ttyad” for talking to you after dinner,“hk” for hugs and kisses or “idk” for I don’t know.
There is something greatly missed when a human voice isreplaced_by a buzz(蜂鸣声) on my cell phone.As technology becomes more advanced and realtime,a gap betweenparents_andkidsis created.Plain and simple,the skills of basiccommunicationare becoming out of date.Cyber slang(网络俚语) and acronyms(首字母缩略词) are replacing the inherent need for real conversation and humaninteraction.
As this generationdevelopsa languageunderstoodby their peers exclusively,parents are less in tune with what their kids are mixing with.
As a mother,it is my opinion that this new way of interaction will do harm to their social skills.As these kids enter into adulthood and into the workforce and mature relationships,they will be at a disadvantage.True communication is not justwords;it is body language,voiceinflectionand the way we carry ourselves.

________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The two generations are no alike in their viewpoints and preference.Teenagers are increasingly seen to be beyond control.Nowadays,manyparentshave difficulty communicating openly and honestly with theirkids.They don’t have much in common.Parents can’t keep pace with their children.Teens can’t just talk about whatever they need with their parents and they don’t want to share thoughts and feelings with their parents.Thecommunicationbetween them becomes hard.
There are many reasons why teens and their parents cannot communicate effectively.Most obviously,it is because parents are unable tounderstandtheir kids:their clothes,language,likes,dislikes,and so on.On the other hand,young people nowadays are very casual in usingwords_to communicate with their parents regardless of the feelings of them.So parents and children should understand each other and communicate with each other frequently.Thus they will get along well with each other.Day 2

Tim recently graduated from the university and was looking for a job.After searching on the Internet,he found out that a famous online businesscompanyis recruiting a newoffice_manager.Many candidates applied for the entry exam,but only one would be accepted in the end.
Tim noticed the resumes(简历) of othercandidatesand was surprised to see that some of them held a Master’s Degree or even a Doctor’s Degree.But Tim was only a Bachelor,and barely met the lowest requirement of the diploma.Tim felt a bit frustrated because he had noadvantageover other candidates who were excellent students.
All the candidates entered the exam hall after handing up theirresumes.Tim scanned through the pages of the test paper and found out that the questions were very difficult for him.Tim tried to calm down and focus on the questions themselves instead of their difficulty level.He started with the easiest ones and moved on to the more difficult ones slowly.
There were two invigilators(监考人) in the hall,one of them was tall and thin,while the otherinvigilatorwas of the opposite: he was short and fat.They seemed to be quite confident about thehonestyof the candidates and were absent­minded.After about 10 minutes,one of the invigilators left to answer a phone call.The other invigilator soon went out too.
The atmosphere in the exam hall changed after the invigilators had left.Some of the candidates took out notes and books,some of them brought tablets to search for answers,and some even called others for help.Tim looked back,and he saw the candidate sitting behind him cheating too.The man winked to Tim,as if telling him tocheatin the test because everyone was doing so.Tim shook his head and continued doing the difficult problems at a slow pace.
In about half an hour,the invigilators returned to the exam hall.Tim still had one question left blank at the end of thetest.He was almost sure that he was not going to beaccepted.

Tim then understood everything that had happened.Thetestwas carefully arranged to test whether thecandidateswere honest even if noinvigilatorwas there.The chief manager continued to say that theircompanywas established based onhonestyof the employees.The job of office manager would require the candidate to be independent and honest.In consideration of this,they found that Tim was the most suitable candidate to hold this position.

On the day when students were given their respective roles,my little sister came home without any expression,and her lips tightly closed.
“Are you chosen?” We asked her carefully,trying to not hurt her feelings.
“Yes,” She said awordonly.“Then why are you unhappy?” I asked.
“It’s because of my role!” She shouted angrily.
We all knew that “Christmas Eve” only had four characters: the father,the mother,the son and the daughter.“What is yourrole?”
“They asked me to play the role ofthe_dog!” After saying that,my sister rushed upstairs,leaving us watching each other in silence.We did not know whether to congratulate her or to comfort her for her role as a dog.Dad talked to my sister after dinner,but we did not know what they had talked about.
Anyway,my sister did not quitthe_performance.She was active in eachpracticeand rehearsal(排练).We were puzzled about what was there to practice in order to play the role of a dog.But my sister was really into the practice,and even bought protection cap for her knees,so that she would not feel the pain when shecrawled(爬) on the stage.She also told us that the dog’s name wasDanger.
I noticed that every time when my sister was back from the rehearsal,her eyes shone excitedly.I did not know about the real meaning of her excitement until the day of the performance.
On the grand day itself,I opened the pamphlet and found my sister’s name “Jane—Danger (Dog)”.I looked around,the hall was fully seated with many of my friends.I sat back quickly—it’s not such an honour to have a sister who acted as a dog.

Like many 8­year­olds,Dorian Murray wants to becomefamous.And he told his father that he wants to become famous inChina,land ofthe_Great_Wall—that “bridge” that people walk on,as he put it.Unfortunately,he doesn’t have much time for that.
The Westerly,Rhode Island native has been battling rhabdomyosarcoma (横纹肌肉瘤),a rare form of cancer,ever since he was four.When doctors told him and hisparentsthat histerriblecancer had spread and become untreatable,he decided to stop treatment and go home.
Ten days later,his mother wrote about his very special wish on the Facebook page “Praying for Dorian.” Word spread quickly halfway around the world.Internet users in China came out in droves to make the dying child’sdream_come_true.Xu Jin,one of the earliest users to spread the message on Weibo,went to the Great Wall on the outskirts of Beijing and took photos of herself and others,posing with a sign saying “D­Strong.” She also got a medal,in Dorian’s name,which reads “I have climbed the Great Wall.” Xu told CNN that she has sent both the medal and pictures to Dorian’s family,alongside a model of the Great Wall.
Photosof people holding up “D­Strong” signs at the Great Wall and other Chinese landmarks have since flooded social media in the country.Even staff members atChinaDailynewspaper have joined in.By Friday,the D­Strong hashtag(微博标签) was among the top 10 topics on Weibo,China’s dominant microblogging site.An official Weibo video of some of the best photos,uploaded Thursday,had gained more than 5,000 likes and 2,500 shares by Friday.

20.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The way people hold the belief that afun­filled,pain­free_lifestyleequals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtainingreal_happiness.If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness,then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact,the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness contain some pain.
As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage,raising children,professional achievement,religious commitment,self­improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment,for commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun,adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples,with infant children,are_lucky_toget a whole night’s sleep of a three­day vacation.We don’t know any parent who would choose the word “fun” to describe raising children.But couples that decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a childgrow_upor playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happinesshas_nothing_to_do_withfun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time: now we candevotemore hourstoactivities that can really increase our happiness.It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

The offering
Just as they weregetting_ready_toleave the street corner,they noticed a man walking toward them.He was obviously a wealthy man—they could tell that from the finely tailored business suit he was wearing and the gold watch chain that decorated his left pocket.
The first beggar whispered to the second with excitement,“He’s coming our way!”
The two tried not to look directly at the man as he stepped closer to them,butthey couldn’t help gazing up with expectation as he reached into his pocket and took something out.
“Thunk” was the only sound they heard as whatlooked_likea piece of hardcandy,wrapped doubly intissue_paper,hit each of their waiting hats.The rich man turned and continued on his way,not making a backward glance.
“How disgusting (令人作呕的)!” said the first beggar,as_soon_asthe rich man was out of sound range.“He could have easily left us a few coins or a spare bill,but he tricks us with a piece of rock candy.”
He looked at the wrapped offering with disgust.“Who does he think we are—children There’s no way we can eveneatthis—we have no teeth.”
The beggarpicked_up_the_objectwith the very tips of his fingers and threw it into the gutter(臭水沟).He watched as it floated a few yards in the stream of muddy water and disappeared into the drainat_the_end_ofthe street.Then,he gathered up his things and walked away.
The second beggar looked down at the morsel in his hat,then at his departing friend.His first impulse (冲动) was to throw the donation in the trashcan under the street light.

On a winter afternoon,a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house from a spot near her backyard.The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles(导弹,发射物) as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out intothe_yardlike comets falling from the sky.I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out.The stone was too smooth,however,so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window.At the sound of broken glass,we knew we were in trouble.
I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned aboutthe_old_ladywith the broken window in winter.However,a few days later,when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered,I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.She still greeted me witha_smileeach day when I gave her the paper,but I was no longer able to actcomfortablelyin her presence.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seenrainin almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The creeks and streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn’t see some rain soon,we would lose everything.It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing andwitnessedthe only miracle I have ever seen in my life.
I was making lunch for the family when I saw my 6­year­old son,Billy,walking toward thewoods.I could only see his back.He wasn’t walking with his usual way.He was obviously walking with great effort,trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again toward the house.I went back to make sandwiches,thinking that whatever he had been doing was completed.Moments later,however,he was once again walking in that unusual way toward the woods.This activity went on for an hour.Finally I couldn’t take it any longer.I walked out of the house andfollowedhim.
He was cupping bothhandsin front of him as he walked,being very careful not to spill the water he carried.I sneaked(偷偷地走) close as he went into the woods.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He might have a much higher purpose,I thought.As I came closer,I saw the most amazing sight.Several largedeerstood in front of him.Billy walked right up to them,at the sight of which I almost screamed for him to get away.A huge buck(雄鹿) was dangerously close.But the buck did not threaten him nor even move as Billyknelt_down.And then I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground,obviously suffering fromthirstand heat,lift its head with great effort to lap up thewaterin my boy’s hands.

And now I knew what’s going on.The week before,he had made the same trouble with our horses,which caused him a lecture from his father about the importance of not wasting water.That should be the reason he didn’t ask me for help.It took much time for the drops to fill hishands.His eyes were filled with tears,saying “I’m not wasting”.Now,I let him attend the babydeeralone for it was his job while I just stood on the edge of the woods watching.All I can say is that therainthat came that day saved our farm,just like the actions of one little boy saved another.Day 1

I started to walk away,but the vendor grabbed me and asked how much I wanted to pay.I had heard that when you buy something in an open­air market in China,you should bargain toget_the_price_downby about seventy percent,so I said thirtyyuan.He said that price was impossible and he couldn’t sell it for that.After a few minutes of bargaining,we agreed on forty­fiveyuan.

I have a “strange­sounding” name.I always knew when the teacher got to my name on the attendance,because of the long pause.
“Um... Ooooozma?”
“Is it... Ahhhzzzma?”
“Wait,I got this.Youz­ma,right?”
The other kids,all named Carla,Melanie,Sammy and Geoff,wouldlaughsecretly.I’d agree with whatever my teacher said,just to move past the annual,painful moment.It’s totally fine,though.Whatevershamesyou in grade school turns you into a strong adult later,so it’s all good.
I was shocked to learn,many years later,that my first name—Uzma,pronounced exactly as it looks—is quitecommonin India and Pakistan.I even know a few Uzma’s in Toronto.At least my teachers tried.When I was 12 my P.E.teacher called me “Ursula” because he couldn’t pronounce my name.Every time he called me by my newnickname,I pictured the scary octopus(章鱼) fromLittleMermaid. For the record,if I were to give myself a more user­friendly name,it would be Caroline.To 12­year­old me,it had a great sound.
Many of myfriendshave similar stories.Amreena became “Am,” Aqeela became “Angela” and—my personal favourite—Widad Ahmed somehow changed into “Woodward Anderson”.One teacher took one look at a friend’s name and threw up his hands.“I can’t pronounce this!” he said.Her name is Ayesha.
EveryparentI know gives the “how will this be important in school?” attitude when giving a list of babynames.For instance,“Butt” is a common South Asian last name,but in Canada it is sure to have differentmeaning.My own last name,at foursyllablesand 10 letters,is difficult to read.I drive cashiers crazy when signing receipts,holding up lines for an extra five to 10 seconds while I carefully write.
As a teacher,Ipay_attention_topronouncing names.“HAHSS­an?” I said with confidence.The class starts to laugh.“It’s Has­saaan,miss,” the students responded.No!It’s not! I want to yell back.I know how your name is pronounced! Mispronunciations(误读) happen so often that the proper pronunciation sounds wrong.

Paragraph 2:
Donamesreallymatter?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Yet many people stick to traditional ethnic names when it comes to their own kids.My own children’snames—Mustafa and Ibrahim—are threesyllableseach.They have goodmeaningsand are also constantly mispronounced.But few parentspay_attention_tothe culture differences,which will make their children beinglaughedat.So people should give children names with good meanings andcommoncharacters.
Do names really matter?Names are important.They tie you to family,history,tradition and identity.As for myself—I was named after my mom.When choosing a baby girl name,consider the name’s length and how it will sound with the last name.Remember thenicknamesand consider how her name may be regarded by her friends.But the funny meaning will make the children feel ashamed.In a word,a good name doesn’t mean people don’t have ashamed to work hard to succeed.If they want to get reputation,they have to make great efforts to realize their dreams.

Sometimes yourbiggest_weaknesscanbecome_your_biggest_strength.Every one has his own weakness,but God always offers his unexpected strength in his misfortune.We’d make full use of it just like the girl below,we are certainly fortunate to be given other blessings from Heaven.
The story of one girl who decided to study judo(柔道) despite the fact that she had lost herleft_arm_in a car accident.
The girl began lessons with an old Japanesejudo_instructor.The girl was doing well.So she couldn’t understand why,after three months of training,the instructor had taught her onlyone_move.
“Instructor,” the girl finally said,“Shouldn’t I be learning more moves It isn’t far enough to learn just this.”
“This is the only move you know,but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.
Not quite understanding,but believing in her teacher,the girl kept training.She didn’t dare tocomplain_aboutanything and it was apparent that since her teacher said so,she had to follow without any unhappiness.
Several months later,the instructor took the girl to her firsttournament.Surprising herself,the girl easily won her first two matches.The third match proved to be more difficult,but after some time,heropponentbecame impatient and charged.The girlskillfullyused her one move to win the match.Still amazed by her success,the girl was now_in_the_finals.
This time,her opponent was bigger,stronger and more experienced.For a while,the girl appeared to be overmatched.Concerned that the girl might get hurt,the_refereecalled atimeout.She was about to stop the match when the instructor interrupted.
“No,” the instructor insisted,“Let her continue.”
Soon after the match started again,her opponent made a critical mistake: she dropped herguard.Instantly,the girl used her move to hold her opponent tightly.The girl had won the match and the tournament.She was the champion.

【答案】On the way home,the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match.Then the girl took courage to ask what was really on her mind.“Instructor,how did I win thetournamentwith onlyone_move?Is there any magic power about it Is myopponentmuch weaker than me?Please tell me the secret.” Thejudo_instructorand his pupil talked excitedly as walking forward.She couldn’t wait to know the answer,but the instructor appeared unhurriedly.Finally he opened his mouth.
“Two reasons account for that you won,” the teacher answered.“First,you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.Second,the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab yourleft_arm.It is yourbiggest_weaknessthat makes you win the match.As a proverb says,‘Every coin has two sides.’ Making full use of your strength is your achievement.Please remember that in no case will you give up especially in trouble.God is fair to everyone.”
