There was a kingdom long，long ago. It was ruled by a king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse，he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. “I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle，” the king said. “Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses.” He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. “Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it，” the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads.
“How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it？” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt(泥土) over the line to hide it.

A week passed，and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour(面粉)．
“Your Majesty，” the baker said to the king，“I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it.” Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line. The line the baker made was longer than the king's line.
“Now，good king，” the baker smiled，“your line is shorter.”
The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands.“You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.”

Sarah stood in front of the mirror(镜子). “It looks like a raincoat on me，” she said.
“Perhaps the blue，” said Mama，gently.
“Sure，” the shopkeeper said. But when he took the blue coat，there on the shelf behind all of the dark coats，hidden like a spring flower in winter darkness，there，as if by magic，was a pink coat.
“A pink coat！” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.”
“That coat is smaller than the other ones，” Papa said.
Sarah spoke up. “I'm small，too. Papa，please let me try it on，Mama? Please？”
“It wouldn't hurt to let her try it on，” Mama said.
Without a word，the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah.
“Ohhh！” Sarah said. The coat was smooth and shiny inside like her sister Sylvia's blouses. “Ahhh！”
Sarah stood very straight and looked in the mirror. She looked for a very long time. In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower.
“Sarah！” Mama said.
Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.
“I'm afraid the pink coat will only fit one year，” Mama said，taking a step closer.
“And there's no one to pass it on to，” said Papa.
And the shopkeeper said，“It's wise to save money.”
Sarah backed away. No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted to be a flower.
“Sarah！” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You're old enough to know that you can't always have your own way，” he said seriously.
“Wise and true，” said the shopkeeper.
Sarah took off the pink coat，slowly.
“It is her colour，though，” Mama said.
“Ahh，” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings out the roses in her face.”
Papa looked thoughtful for a moment.
“We are lucky.” continued Mama，“that it is only one little coat for Sarah and not also new coats for Sylvia and Susan and Sally.”
Papa looked from the brown coat to the pink coat. “The cows will give milk soon enough，” he said “And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one？”
“Papa！” Sarah cried，putting on the pink coat back，quickly. She threw her arms around Papa's neck. “__3__” she whispered.
“Like a rose in spring，” Papa said.

Do you know what you'd like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita，it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two，she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child，she loved coloring in her coloring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children，so they took away her coloring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and coloring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old，she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class，her teacher was amazed at the young artist's unusual style of painting. Alexandra's work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honor，but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra's first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was，but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She_just_cannot_imagine_doing_anything_else_that_would_bring_her_such_joy_and_satisfaction.
Today，Alexandra is a full?time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.

Summer is finally here for most of us. Sadly，summer is not so pleasant to people in a bit less lucky places，where air conditioning(空调) is not easy to get for most of them.
But as a saying goes，where there is a will，there is a way，especially for those who like doing it yourself(DIY). A young man from Bangladesh(孟加拉国) designed an air conditioning system called the Eco Cooler，one that does not require power，and is made of the world's most common waste—plastic bottles.
The Eco Cooler is super simple to build—no special engineering skills are required. First，to fix it，a window should be taken away and replaced(替代) by it. Second，a board should be cut into the size of a window. Some bottle?neck sized holes should then be cut onto the board. Then，the funnel?shaped(漏斗状的) bottlenecks，cut from the plastic bottles，should be put into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame(框) with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.
The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5℃—a big difference when looking at comfortable 25℃ compared to uncomfortable 30℃.
The idea of the inventor，Ashis Paul，was to show his great product to as many people as possible. For this purpose，he received help from some groups of volunteers. Together，they offered to help local people build and fix the units，as well as teach them how to make them themselves.
Yes，the Eco Cooler is not a super high?tech air conditioning system，but it is one that can make a big difference.

I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave. I found a big tree and chopped it down. This took three days. Then，I chopped off the branches. This took another two days. After that，I chopped the wood away from one side，and then from the other side. This took more than one month. Altogether it took forty?two days. In England，two men with a good saw could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.
I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds，so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn. After that，all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later，I would have enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to grind the corn into flour，but the rocks on the island were not hard enough. I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks. Not having an oven，I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes. This baked the dough，and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.
I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island. I went to the ship's boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck. However，I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it，but none of them were successful.

Martina looked out of the window. A robin was singing a lively song in the tree. At this time，Grandpa，who lived with the family since Grandma had died，came in. He looked at the floor as if looking for something. He said，“When the robin sings...” he stopped，trying to remember what he had started to say.
“Spring is here，” Mum finished the sentence. “And I'm thinking of our spring cleaning，” Mum suggested. “Martina，you can help me，right？” Martina agreed unwillingly.
They cleaned the house. They cleaned upstairs，downstairs，inside，outside，until everything was clean. Then Mum pointed to Grandpa's sofa and shouted. “That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one.”
It was true and Martina had to agree. The sofa was really old. As they tried to move the sofa，Grandpa stood in their way. “You can't take my sofa，” he shouted.
“It's old，”Mum said. Grandpa tried to push his sofa back into place. “We'll buy you a new one，” Mum promised.
“I don't want a new one，” Grandpa insisted. Mum let go of the sofa. “We'll talk about it tonight when John gets home.” John，Martina's dad，was still at work.
“Why don't you let us take away the sofa? It's too old！” Martina asked when the family were having supper. Grandpa shook his head and said，“I sat in this sofa，with your grandma right here，when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago，but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes I feel she is near.”
“It's amazing，” Martina thought，“how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything.”
The old man smiled to Martina and went on. “And the night your father was born，I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the_little_baby into my arms.”
“I think I'm beginning to understand，” Martina said. “Many years later，” Grandpa continued，“I sat in this sofa when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her，but the sofa gave me the comfort.”
“I do see now，” Martina looked at Grandpa. “This is not just an old sofa. This sofa is more like a friend.” “Yes，” Grandpa added. “We've got through a lot together.”
The whole family agreed that the living room would be boring without the old sofa.

A young woman turns around and around quickly，and jumps high. In the background，a young girl reads a rejection(拒绝) letter from a ballet school. “You have the wrong body for ballet，” it says，“and at thirteen，you are too old.”This was one of the most popular advertisements(广告) of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theatre's principal(主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.

She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was s difficult life，but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007，she became a solo(单独的) performer，and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.

Edward rose early on the New?year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
When he came back，his father gave him two bright，new silver dollars.

I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to control myself.

There was a kingdom long，long ago. It was ruled by a king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse，he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. “I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle，” the king said. “Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses.” He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. “Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it，” the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads.
“How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it？” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt(泥土) over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked，and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
A week passed，and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour(面粉)．
“Your Majesty，” the baker said to the king，“I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it.” Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line. The line the baker made was longer than the king's line.
“Now，good king，” the baker smiled，“your line is shorter.”
The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands.“You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.”
The baker was excited. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.

Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table. There was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and Alice's first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.

Sarah stood in front of the mirror(镜子). “It looks like a raincoat on me，” she said.
“Perhaps the blue，” said Mama，gently.
“Sure，” the shopkeeper said. But when he took the blue coat，there on the shelf behind all of the dark coats，hidden like a spring flower in winter darkness，there，as if by magic，was a pink coat.
“A pink coat！” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.”
“That coat is smaller than the other ones，” Papa said.
Sarah spoke up. “I'm small，too. Papa，please let me try it on，Mama? Please？”
“It wouldn't hurt to let her try it on，” Mama said.
Without a word，the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah.
“Ohhh！” Sarah said. The coat was smooth and shiny inside like her sister Sylvia's blouses. “Ahhh！”
Sarah stood very straight and looked in the mirror. She looked for a very long time. In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower.
“Sarah！” Mama said.
Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.
“I'm afraid the pink coat will only fit one year，” Mama said，taking a step closer.
“And there's no one to pass it on to，” said Papa.
And the shopkeeper said，“It's wise to save money.”
Sarah backed away. No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted to be a flower.
“Sarah！” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You're old enough to know that you can't always have your own way，” he said seriously.
“Wise and true，” said the shopkeeper.
Sarah took off the pink coat，slowly.
“It is her colour，though，” Mama said.
“Ahh，” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings out the roses in her face.”

Do you know what you'd like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita，it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two，she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child，she loved coloring in her coloring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children，so they took away her coloring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and coloring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old，she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class，her teacher was amazed at the young artist's unusual style of painting. Alexandra's work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honor，but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra's first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was，but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She_just_cannot_imagine_doing_anything_else_that_would_bring_her_such_joy_and_satisfaction.
Today，Alexandra is a full?time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.

That year，I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However，it was difficult to get back to normal(正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything，walking，talking，and yes，maths.
To help me with that task，Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by，I made progress.
I remember very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays，sat with me at the kitchen table，and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents,17 cents,63 cents. It was challenging，but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half，I had progressed a lot，both in body and mind，to return to school. Seven years later，I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.

She made progress everyday and was moved out of ICU(重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.
One day，I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly，“Happy New Year to you and your family，Michael. Thank you for everything you've done for me.” I quickly said，“Thank you for everything you've done for me.”

My father was German，but he worked in England. He married my mother，who was English. Her family name was Robinson，so when I was born in 1632 in England，they called me Robinson，after her.
My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job，and live a quiet，pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life.
“I want to be a sailor and go to sea，” I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.
“Please don't go，” my father said. “You won't be happy you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.” And because I love him，and he was unhappy，I tried to forget about the sea.
But I couldn't forget，and about a year later，I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me，“We are sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us？”
On September 1st,1651，I went to Hull，and the next day we sailed for London.
But a few days later，there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous，and the ship went up and down，up and down. I was very ill，and was very afraid.
“Oh，I don't want to die！” I cried. “I want to live! If I live，I will go home and never go to sea again！”
The next day the wind stopped，and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.
“Well，Robinson，” my friend laughed，“How do you feel now? The wind wasn't too bad.”
“What？” I cried. “It was a terrible storm.”
“Oh，that wasn't a storm，” my friend answered，“just a little wind. Forget it，come and have a drink.”
After a few drinks with my friend，I felt better. I forgot about the danger，and decided not to go home. I didn't want my friend and family to laugh at me!
I stayed in London for some time，but I still，wanted to go to the sea. So，when the captain(船长) of a ship asked me to go with him to Guinea in Africa，I agreed. And so I went to the sea for the second time.
It was a good ship，and everything went well at first，but I was very ill again. Then when we were near the Canary Islands，a Turkish pirate(海盗) ship came after us. They were famous thieves of the sea at that time. There was a long，hard fight，but when it finished，we and the ship were prisoners. The Turkish captain and his men took us to Sallee in Morocco.

Summer is finally here for most of us. Sadly，summer is not so pleasant to people in a bit less lucky places，where air conditioning(空调) is not easy to get for most of them.
But as a saying goes，where there is a will，there is a way，especially for those who like doing it yourself(DIY). A young man from Bangladesh(孟加拉国) designed an air conditioning system called the Eco Cooler，one that does not require power，and is made of the world's most common waste—plastic bottles.
The Eco Cooler is super simple to build—no special engineering skills are required. First，to fix it，a window should be taken away and replaced(替代) by it. Second，a board should be cut into the size of a window. Some bottle?neck sized holes should then be cut onto the board. Then，the funnel?shaped(漏斗状的) bottlenecks，cut from the plastic bottles，should be put into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame(框) with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.
The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5℃—a big difference when looking at comfortable 25℃ compared to uncomfortable 30℃.
The idea of the inventor，Ashis Paul，was to show his great product to as many people as possible. For this purpose，he received help from some groups of volunteers. Together，they offered to help local people build and fix the units，as well as teach them how to make them themselves.
Yes，the Eco Cooler is not a super high?tech air conditioning system，but it is one that can make a big difference.
( )1. When building the Eco Cooler，we should pay special attention to ________.
A. the shape of the window

( )3. What's the best title of this passage?
A. DIY air conditioning made from plastic bottles

C. Why do we need an Eco Cooler in summer?
D. A strong?willed inventor and his DIY dream

I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave. I found a big tree and chopped it down. This took three days. Then，I chopped off the branches. This took another two days. After that，I chopped the wood away from one side，and then from the other side. This took more than one month. Altogether it took forty?two days. In England，two men with a good saw could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.
I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds，so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn. After that，all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later，I would have enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to grind the corn into flour，but the rocks on the island were not hard enough. I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks. Not having an oven，I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes. This baked the dough，and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.
I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island. I went to the ship's boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck. However，I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it，but none of them were successful.

Martina looked out of the window. A robin was singing a lively song in the tree. At this time，Grandpa，who lived with the family since Grandma had died，came in. He looked at the floor as if looking for something. He said，“When the robin sings...” he stopped，trying to remember what he had started to say.
“Spring is here，” Mum finished the sentence. “And I'm thinking of our spring cleaning，” Mum suggested. “Martina，you can help me，right？” Martina agreed unwillingly.
They cleaned the house. They cleaned upstairs，downstairs，inside，outside，until everything was clean. Then Mum pointed to Grandpa's sofa and shouted. “That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one.”
It was true and Martina had to agree. The sofa was really old. As they tried to move the sofa，Grandpa stood in their way. “You can't take my sofa，” he shouted.
“It's old，”Mum said. Grandpa tried to push his sofa back into place. “We'll buy you a new one，” Mum promised.
“I don't want a new one，” Grandpa insisted. Mum let go of the sofa. “We'll talk about it tonight when John gets home.” John，Martina's dad，was still at work.
“Why don't you let us take away the sofa? It's too old！” Martina asked when the family were having supper. Grandpa shook his head and said，“I sat in this sofa，with your grandma right here，when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago，but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes I feel she is near.”
“It's amazing，” Martina thought，“how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything.”
The old man smiled to Martina and went on. “And the night your father was born，I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the_little_baby into my arms.”
“I think I'm beginning to understand，” Martina said. “Many years later，” Grandpa continued，“I sat in this sofa when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her，but the sofa gave me the comfort.”
“I do see now，” Martina looked at Grandpa. “This is not just an old sofa. This sofa is more like a friend.” “Yes，” Grandpa added. “We've got through a lot together.”

She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was s difficult life，but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007，she became a solo(单独的) performer，and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.
Copeland is now a dancer，author and Broadway performer. She also starts in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland，anything is possible，“My career(职业) really is just now beginning.”

Edward rose early on the New?year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
When he came back，his father gave him two bright，new silver dollars.
His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.
He left the house with a light heart，expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street，he saw a poor family.
“I wish you a Happy New Year，” said Edward，as he was passing on. The man shook his head.

“My dear boy，” said his father，“here are some books for you，more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New?year gift.”
