Passage 1

One day, the lion, known as the king of the forest, came to the wisest man in the world and said, “I am well-built so that I have enough abilities to rule the whole forest.” The wisest man smiled and said, “But that's not what you came to me for today, is it? It seems that you are worried about something!”

The lion said, “I really have something to ask for today, because even though my ability is so good, every day when the chickens crow(鸣叫), I am always awakened by the crowing of chickens. Please give me some advice so that I won't be awakened by the crowing of chickens. ”

The wisest man smiled and said, “Go to find the elephant, and it will give you the answer.”The lion hurried to the lake to look for the elephant. Before he saw the elephant, he heard the “thud” sound of the elephant's feet.

The lion ran to the elephant at high speed, only to see that the elephant was stomping(跺脚) angrily. The lion asked the elephant, “Why are you so angry?” The elephant shook its big ears and said, “There is a bad little mosquito that always wants to fly into my ear, which makes me itch(痒) to death.”

When the lion left the elephant, he said to himself, “Such a huge elephant will also be afraid of such a small mosquito. What can I complain(抱怨) about? After all, the crowing of chickens is only once a day, while mosquitoes trouble elephants all the time. In this way, I am much luckier than him. The wisest man wants me to see the situation of the elephant. He wants to tell me that everyone would have trouble, but he can't help everyone. In this case, I have to depend on myself! When the chickens crow, I can think of the crowing as a sign that it's time for me to get up, so it is good for me.”

Passage 2

It was a warm afternoon. A boy was reading a book in a busy square. As he read on, an old man sat down at his side and started talking to him.

“I've read the book. It's about the world's greatest lie,” said the old man, looking at the book.

“What's that?” the boy asked in surprise.

“We won't get what we dream of.”

“Really? Why are you saying that? Who are you?” asked the boy.

“I'm the king of Salem. I have power from the universe,” said the old man. “I always appear when somebody is working so hard to follow his dream, either in the form of a solution(解决方案) or a good idea. There are other things I do, too.”

The old man continued. Once, he appeared before a miner(矿工), and took the form of a stone. The miner had given up everything to mine for emeralds(翡翠). For five years he had been working a certain river and had examined hundreds of thousands of stones in search of an emerald. But sadly, he hadn't found a single emerald. The miner was about to give it all up, right at the point when, if he were to examine just one more stone—just one more—he would find his emerald. Since the miner gave up everything to follow his dream, the old man decided to use his power. He changed himself into a stone that rolled(滚动) towards the miner's foot. The miner, with all the anger of his five fruitless years, picked up the stone and threw it aside. But he threw it with such force that the stone broke, and there was the most beautiful emerald in the world.

“When you really want something, all the universe helps you achieve it,” the old man said.

Passage 3

In my first high school year, I joined my school's color guard(彩旗队) because I thought it would be fun to learn to toss(抛) a flag and meet new people. At first, it was easy, but a couple of months later we were taught the single-and-a-half toss. We tossed our flag so that it would turn one and a half times in the air and we had to catch the pole(旗杆) straight up and down with the flag at the top. Sometimes I dropped it, and other times it went to one side rather than toss my flag straight up. After an hour I was the only one who couldn't do it.

Our instructor, Angie, singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally, I got so tired of tossing that I didn't care about doing it right.

“Are you giving it up?” Angie asked.

“Yes, I am,” I shouted at her. She sent me inside the waiting room. There I was allowed to cry out my frustrations(沮丧). Then Angie came in and said, “You are trying to be more perfect.” She told me never to give up. She left me alone and I realized Angie was right—by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and myself. I kept practicing and by the next practice I had mastered the toss.

I realized that the color guard could teach me lessons about life. There were moments when I was going to fail, but the best thing I could do was to learn from my mistakes.

1. How was the writer's single-and-a-half toss at first?

A. Not so bad. B. Quite poor. C. Just so-so. D. Perfect.

2. What does the underlined word “ashamed” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Proud.  B. Tired.  C. Excited.  D. Embarrassed.

3. What did Angie encourage the writer to do?

A. To be perfect. B. To stay alone. C. To keep practicing. D. To ask for help.

4. What can we learn from the text?

A. We can make it by learning from mistakes.
