He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day, he shuttled(穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life was without waves. One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance. It was a little stone that tripped him up(绊倒). He observed the stone that had embarrassed(难堪) him, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel(宝石)covered with dust. The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a bold thought—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How magnificent it will be! His ordinary life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds. Gradually, his small bag couldn’t hold his stones any more and he needed to use a wheelbarrow to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones. After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle.

Although I didn’t have any interest in being a school bus driver, I became one. Many years later, I was still working on the school bus. There are so many good reasons. Firstly, the talk brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter(安慰者) for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home. Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a little insect would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit. I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and sobbed(抽泣) all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus, she threw her arms around my neck and cried that her grandfather had died the night before. A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back. Now, it’s important to think how many lives I’ve been responsible(负责的) for, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely during the 20 years. I’ve enjoyed it, but it’s time to rest and park my school bus. 1. What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to (所指)? A. toy bearsB. kids C. school buses D. secrets 2. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Children didn’t like the driver. B. The driver likes the job all the time. C. The little girl was excited at seeing the camels. D. Children sometimes talked about their family secrets on the bus. 3. The writer didn’t give up her job because . A. driving was her hobby B. children made her valuable C. drivers were paid well D. children loved her toy bear

It seems that there’s a good reason why dogs are always seen as man’s best friend. Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotion(情感)in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry. When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the person’s face first. A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions. Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have “left gaze bias(左视偏好)”, but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has been known to do like this before. Dr. Kun Guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. The dogs’ eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs. Guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions. “Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. If true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first.” 1. Why are dogs seen as man’s best friend according to the passage? A. Because dogs are the closest animals to humans. B. Because dogs can read the emotions in humans’ faces easily. C. Because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad. D. Because dogs are good at expressing emotions. 2.The dogs’ left gaze bias helps them _______. A. get along well with humans B. express emotions quickly C. have more understanding friendsD. remember more new faces 3.The passage mainly wants to tell us that _______. A. dogs have been man’s best friends for thousands of years B. humans have a “left gaze bias” C. the “left gaze bias” works on all animals D. dogs can read emotions the same as humans

Life as a teenager can be so hard. We are trying not to go wrong or get hurt while still trying to make sense of life. I tell you, I have been there. But, looking back, I will tell you how to enjoy every experience in life. Let this be your little guide to enjoying life as a teenager. You know, half the problems as a teenager arise because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities. That is exactly why you have so much drama in your life; your parents won’t let you have a night-out with friends because you didn’t clean your room or your teacher is threatening to take you to the headteacher because you haven’t finished your homework. When you go wrong, you go back to bed every night blaming yourself for the mistakes you have made. If you don’t make mistakes, you won’t learn. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself and move on. Don’t repeat them because there isn’t plenty of time to go wrong. Learn from your mistakes and others’, and it will help you to develop your character. Don’t try so hard to be right all the time, or you will not end up being satisfied with yourself. Most of us want to be popular in school and so, you beg your parents to get you the best clothes, which they obviously don’t. To deal with that situation, I’d say that if your parent is not willing to pay for all those expensive clothes for you, get yourself a part-time job or spend your money wisely. No matter what you do, you should take full responsibility for your own choices. And, instead of trying to be one of the crowd by having similar habits, dare to be different because not everyone does. Most teenagers often tend to have the blues during the teenage years. If you think that ending your life would be better than dealing with all the depression, you are not alone. All we need is someone to talk to us and listen. So, find a listener. Just talking it through helps get rid of the stress of school, friends and everything else. You shouldn’t really be wasting your time when you time when you could develop your hobbies and interests! I wish someone had given me all these tips to enjoy life as a teenager. In your teenage years, life is all about experiences and learning from them, so enjoy every bit of it to the fullest. Title: How to enjoy life as a teenager
