Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why. One day, a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The other boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left. The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have in the process (过程) of digging!” The boy’s goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keeping working! Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning. 1.What did the boy do after watching the program? A. He bought a glass jar. B. He started to dig a hole. C. He played with some visitors. D. He bought a bike. 2.What did the other boys think of the little boy? A. He was silly. B. He was strict. C. He was strong-minded. D. He was tall. 3.When did the boy find the stones? A. Before he met the other boys. B. When he wanted to give up digging. C. After the older boys laughed at him. D. When he had a rest. 4.What does the underlined sentences “It is the digging that life is lived.” mean according to the article? A. Life is to make a big success. B. Life is to find the colorful stones. C. Life is on the way to achieve the goal. D. Life is difficult. 5.Which is the best title for this article? A. Enjoying the Process. B. How to Achieve Goals. C. A Journey through the Earth. D. A boy.

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it's not bad to make mistakes, and here is why. At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is，“You can't.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things. Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn't work. Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes. We shouldn't spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited (有限的). There is an old saying, “If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed. 1.If you are making a mistake, that means________. A. you're careful B. you're kind C. you're growing D. you know nothing 2.If you never try new things, you can't________. A. improve B. create C. spend D. A and B 3.After Edison failed 10,000 times, he________. A. gave up B. invented the light bulb C. invented the computer D. invented 10,000 new things 4.When you make a mistake, you are closer to________. A. time B. money C. success D. everything 5.What's the main idea of the passage? A. Never make mistakes. B. You can make mistakes without thinking. C. Sometimes it's good to make mistakes. D. Making mistakes is terrible.

Lightning(闪电)is shocking, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes(袭击)every day in the world—that’s thirty strikes every second. Lightning can also be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28,000 degrees centigrade. American Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times! So, why does lightning strike? Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub(摩擦)together, and cause atmospheric(大气层的)changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge(静电电荷). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth. It’s the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans. About 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result. Lightning is certainly not something to toy with. When lightning strikes, it’s best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Trees attract lightning. Also, do not lie down on the ground, otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease. 1.Lightning strikes ________. A. happen three billion times each day B. will start when there are big fires C. can reach very high temperatures D. kill all those who work in a park 2.What does “surviving” in paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A. 目睹 B. 幸存 C. 制造 D. 遇难 3.We can infer(推断)from paragraph 3 that ________. A. lightning strikes are caused whenever ice and water meet B. lightning between two clouds is the most dangerous for humans C. lightning strikes create static charge D. about one tenth of the people struck by lightning die every year in America 4.Which expression means “to toy with” in the last paragraph? A. to play with B. to take seriously C. to show off D. to take it easy 5.Where’s the best place to be when lightning strikes? A. On top of a hill. B. In a swimming pool. C. In a tree. D. Inside.

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mystery. Every year it received more than 750000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rise on the longest day of the year. For many years , historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England more later ,” he points out. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind calendar. The large stones are put together in a certain way .On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines direct into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent ill and keep people healthy.
