In his travels he meets a series of strange and delightful characters and an untamed fox. The Little Prince is a heartwarming tale of the power of friendship and trust. Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White Who doesn’t love a novel about talking animals? It opens the door to imagination, asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like. On a more serious note, it challenges us to ask ourselves how we’d treat animals if they could talk. If they could tell us their joys and their fears, would mankind treat them more humanely? To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee The story centers on Jean Louise Finch, an unusually intelligent girl who ages from six to nine years old during the novel. Her father, Atticus Finch, a well-known and respected lawyer, defends Tom Robinson, an African American who is falsely accused of killing a young white woman.

What it would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in a room? What it would be like to be able to get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife wouldn't email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back. Yes, I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful people. To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room, or to be the life of the party and have everyone fawning(奉承) over me as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body? But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so fragile. As you get older, your body changes; as you get older, the money changes. Your body never looks the same; the clothes become more and more expensive to maintain. And once you have crossed the line, suddenly you are out. The next fresh face comes in and you are quickly forgotten. All through growing up I was never an attractive person. I was overweight and picked on. But that didn't stop me from being a nice person—a good, clean, funny and helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. And in the long run, I will be the one you remember, not the new face, or the fresh style. In closing, I would like to say that we, as people, have developed into looking for things that are bigger and better instead of what will last. I don't know about you, but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down, more than the hot girl I just saw walking down the street. I wish I could teach the world some more jokes. 1.How did the author react to his wife's questions? A. He took them seriously. B. He went on coding the page. C. He replied to them right away. D. He wondered why she had done so. 2.What can we learn about the author? A. He cares much about appearance. B. He has a clever and beautiful wife. C. He is always ready to help others. D. He doesn't like beautiful women. 3.According to the text, the author would agree that one should ________． A. try a new and fresh lifestyle B. tell jokes to live a meaningful life C. wear fancy clothes to attract people D. be the person who brings joy to others 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What Is Wisdom? B. What Will Last? C. Three Questions D. Three Answers 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4.

What it would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in a room? What it would be like to be able to get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife wouldn't email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back. Yes, I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful people. To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room, or to be the life of the party and have everyone fawning(奉承) over me as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body? But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so fragile. As you get older, your body changes; as you get older, the money changes. Your body never looks the same; the clothes become more and more expensive to maintain. And once you have crossed the line, suddenly you are out. The next fresh face comes in and you are quickly forgotten. All through growing up I was never an attractive person. I was overweight and picked on. But that didn't stop me from being a nice person—a good, clean, funny and helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. And in the long run, I will be the one you remember, not the new face, or the fresh style. In closing, I would like to say that we, as people, have developed into looking for things that are bigger and better instead of what will last. I don't know about you, but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down, more than the hot girl I just saw walking down the street. I wish I could teach the world some more jokes. 1.How did the author react to his wife's questions? A. He took them seriously. B. He went on coding the page. C. He replied to them right away. D. He wondered why she had done so. 2.What can we learn about the author? A. He cares much about appearance. B. He has a clever and beautiful wife. C. He is always ready to help others. D. He doesn't like beautiful women. 3.According to the text, the author would agree that one should ________． A. try a new and fresh lifestyle B. tell jokes to live a meaningful life C. wear fancy clothes to attract people D. be the person who brings joy to others 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
