六.任务型阅读 (10分。)
When I was very young, I did not like to do things with my own hands. I did not need to learn to do anything. My parents were always there to do everything for me. They got the meals ready for me, washed the clothes for me, made the bed for me, and even took off the shoes for me.
After I was old enough to go to school, I often had to do some homework after I came back home from school. At first, I was very lazy and did not want to do any homework, so I still wanted my parents to do it for me. My dad said that he could do the homework for me, but my mum asked him not to take this crazy idea into his mind. She said to my dad, “If you do not let your son learn to do his own homework, he will never learn to do anything!” So my dad had to ask me to do the homework for me. In this way, I began to learn to do my homework all by myself. However, he said that he would help me by checking my homework for me. In this way, I began to learn to do my homework. To my parents’ great surprise, I did most of the homework very well! My parents were so glad that they both held me in their arms and said, “You are really great!”
Hearing my parents say so, I was very excited. I was so excited that I decided to learn to do more things by myself. To my parents’ pleasant surprise, I can even help them do some housework. I am really glad that I can do so many things myself.

A man walked in the desert for two days without any water. While he was feeling hopeless, he suddenly found a small house. He pulled his tired body inside. This was a small airless house and in the corner he discovered a water pump (抽水机).
Excited, he went forward to draw (抽取) water, but no water came out no matter how hard he tried. Too tired to do anything more, he fell to the ground. Then he saw a small bottle. On the bottle was a note, which read, “You must pour the water from the bottle into the pump before you draw water! Don’t forget, before you leave, refill the bottle with water!” He opened the bottle and found it was filled with water!
At that moment he thought, “It might be a little selfish, but as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be sure to leave this room alive! However, if I do as the note says and pour the only water into the pump and no water comes out, I will die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?” It was five minutes later that he chose to pour the only water into the pump and began to draw water. After a minute, water started to come out!
After he had drunk enough water, he refilled the bottle. He added the following words after the note: Before you get something, you should first learn to pay.
