His parents had tried everythingtutors, cards, special learning centersin short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的)school. After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didnt kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening. Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女)? ”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then, ”she asked again, “WHAT was it? ”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed(钉)to the plus sign, I knew they werent joking. ”【语篇概述】本文叙述了Tommy学习一直不用功, 其父母想尽了一切办法都不奏效, 最后将他送进了一所天主教的教会学校。看见钉在十字架上的人, Tommy担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上, 很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见, 误解有时也可以起到好的作用。21.

At home, he asked his mom, “Am I more stupid than other kids? How come I always lag behind? I just cant come up with an answer. ”Mom was aware that her sons self-respect had been damaged by the ranking system, but she didnt know what to say to help. She was tempted(想要)to say that intelligence differs and that yes, her sons friend really was the smarter boy. But that would upset her son. Thank goodness she resisted the temptation to say it. Her son and his friend went on to high school that year, but despite trying as hard as he could, her sons friend still did better than him. But she was proud of her boy for his hard work, sincerely proud. It was around this time she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip, she at last found an answer for him. Today her son no longer cares about rankings. He doesnt have to, for he himself is now the top of the classat the top of the national university he attends. Invited to speak to his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience, “Once, on a trip to the sea, my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me, Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The“clumsy”seagulls(海鸥)are far less agile(灵活的)and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these“clumsy”birds prove to have the biggest, strongest wings, which open the widest and allow the birds to travel the furthest. When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls. ”【语篇概述】这是一篇叙述文。文中讲述了母亲通过一次旅游帮助孩子由自卑走向成功的故事。25.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone. ”Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents. In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own. Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person, ”said the 30-year-old. Richardson describes travelling alone as“a shot in the arm”, which“makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try. ”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. ”【语篇概述】文章介绍了现在年轻人中流行的新的旅游方式独游。29.

A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song Happy Birthday to the melody(旋律)of Good Morning to You to her little nephew(侄子). She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, Archie! Happy birthday to you!
