As I was cleaning the bookcase this morning, I saw a book on the top shelf (架子). I got it down carefully and took out the letter in it. My memories came back quickly. When I was a young boy, I was interested in crochet (钩针编织). I began to learn it by watching videos online. I found it was great fun. However, something unhappy happened. One day, an older boy at school heard of my hobby and laughed at me. “It’s silly for boys to crochet,” he said. His words hurt me deeply, and I decided to give it up. A few days later, my teacher Mr. Green noticed I was upset. When he got to know the truth, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he just brought me a special gift. Inside, I found a book about great people, and there was a letter in it. The letter read, “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do. Be yourself.” Thanks to him, I got the courage to continue my hobby. Over the following years, I worked hard to improve my skills and became an excellent crochet artist.

The teacher showed us how to center the clay and use our hands to shape it slowly. After many tries, I finally made a small cup. It wasn’t perfect, but I felt very proud. Now, I go to the class every Saturday. It’s not just a hobby — it teaches me to be patient. Zhang Wei I started learning to cook from my grandmother when I was ten.

The hall was full of people. When we started playing, singing, and dancing, the crowd got excited. Our parents cheered and took pictures. It was an amazing success!

People travelled from far and wide to buy his furniture. One day, a young man came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then passed the young man a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back confidently. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the young man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. He was so pleased with his work. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skill but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind. Life is like this — a successful person moves forward step by step. ( ) 41. Why did the young man visit the old carpenter? A. To travel around. B. To buy furniture. C. To help him. D.

As I was cleaning the bookcase this morning, I saw a book on the top shelf (架子). I got it down carefully and took out the letter in it. My memories came back quickly. When I was a young boy, I was interested in crochet (钩针编织). I began to learn it by watching videos online. I found it was great fun. However, something unhappy happened. One day, an older boy at school heard of my hobby and laughed at me. “It’s silly for boys to crochet,” he said. His words hurt me deeply, and I decided to give it up. A few days later, my teacher Mr. Green noticed I was upset. When he got to know the truth, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he just brought me a special gift. Inside, I found a book about great people, and there was a letter in it. The letter read, “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do. Be yourself.” Thanks to him, I got the courage to continue my hobby. Over the following years, I worked hard to improve my skills and became an excellent crochet artist. Now I have a shop where I sell beautiful crochet things I make. Even today, that letter still means so much to me. It reminds me to follow my heart, no matter what others say. 46.
