A
Long long ago, some frogs (青蛙) had a race (比赛).If someone could get to the top of the very tall tower, he would be the winner. A crowd of frogs came around the tower to watch the race.
The race began. No one in the crowd believed that the frogs could get to the top of the tower and they often said, “They will never succeed” or “The tower is so tall” to each other.
During the race some of the frogs could not keep climbing, yet other brave frogs kept climbing higher and higher. Some frogs in the crowd continued to say, “It’s too diffcult. No one could succeed.”
More and more frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued to climb. This one would not give up! In the end, he got to the top!
All the other frogs wanted to know how he did it. At last, they found out that the winner was deaf— he could not hear the crowd at all!
Never listen to the bad things other people say because they will take your most wonderful hopes and dreams away from you — the ones you have in your heart! Without hopes or dreams, you can never succeed.

When you pat (轻拍)your dog, he wags (摇)his tail (尾巴). That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention to it, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things.
Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, he shows friendliness; if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready to fight; and if his tail is behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight.
Unlike dogs, cats? tail language is not so meaningful When a cat feels threatened (受到威胁的),he tries to appear big and his tail shakes with a big movement. And when he doesn’t like something, he moves his tail quickly.
The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, dogs and cats were predators.
They used to hunt other animals for their food.
When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language became useful. When they were close to each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone, so they didn’t need to use tail language too often. So cats’ words in tail language are much fewer than those of dogs.
( )31. What does it mean when a dog’s tail is straight?
A. It has a lot to say to you.
B. It wants to stop fighting.
C. It’s going to fight.
D. It likes to be patted.
( )32. A cat tries to appear big when it is .
A. facing a danger B. excited
C. ready to hunt D. hungry
( )33. Which of the following does the writer mean to say?
A. Dogs and cats are not good friends.
B. Dogs are much friendlier than cats.
C. Dogs and cats are easy to keep.
D. Dogs use tail language more than cats do.
( )34. What does the underlined word “predators” mean?
A. Animals that follow other animals.
B. Animals that kill and eat other animals.
C. Animals that live in the zoo.
D. Animals that are kept by people.
A. Body language in ancient times.
B. The tail language.
C. The differences between dogs and cats.
D. The use of animals’ tails.

What’s the most important thing in your life?
I thought about this question when I was a little girl. I loved playing with my friends. So I thought friendship was the most important thing in life. If
I had no friends, I would be very sad.
When I got older, I thought the most important thing was music. I was crazy (狂热的)about music at that time. To me, if I didn’t sing or listen to music, my life would be boring.
When I was 12, I read a book that told a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful.
Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. "Happiness is the destination
(目的地)for everyone,” the writer said.
Soon I began to understand friendship, music, love and happiness were all very important to us.
These important things make our lives colourful and beautiful. What’s the most important thing in life now? I still don’t have the answer. However, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life. I hope everyone can find the important things in their life, and
cherish (珍惜)them.
