“Thank you for   6  me. You are so kind. I will make any of your dreams come true.” said the fairy.
The little girl thought for a moment and then said, “I want to be   7 !”
The fairy said, “Very well. I will help you.” And she said something in the little girl’s ear. Then the fairy disappeared.
As the kind little girl grew up, she was   8  ready to help people in need and was popular among the villagers. No one in the village was as happy as she was. Everyone asked her the   9  of her happiness. She always smiled and   10 , “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a kind   11  when I was a little girl.”
When the kind girl became a very old woman and was dying, the neighbours in the   12  all gathered (聚攏) around her bed because they were   13  that her secret of happiness would die with her. They asked, “Please tell us what the kind fairy said.”
The lovely old woman still   14  and said, “She told me that everyone needed me, no matter how safe they seemed, no matter how rich or poor, no matter how old or   15 . She said that helping others would make me happy all my life.”

小題15:前面是“rich or poor”,此處是old和young進(jìn)行對比,no matter how old or young是“無論老幼”的意思。

Well,to be honest,I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering(發(fā)現(xiàn))a new star.I was daydreaming (做白日夢)at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”

Saturday morning was bright and fresh. There was a song in every heart, cheer on every face, and a  spring in every step.
Tom appeared with a bucket of white paint in one hand and a brush in the other. His Aunt Polly told him to paint the fence around the garden. It was thirty yards long and nine feet high. He felt very depressed.
Then he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and started to work.
Soon Ben came along the road. He was happily eating an apple. He stopped to look at Tom. Tom went on painting and pretended(假裝)not to see Ben.
“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to go swimming, Tom? But I guess you can’t. You have to stay and work, don’t you?”
“Work?” Tom said. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?”
Ben  thought  about  this.  Tom  continued  painting  carefully. Sometimes he stopped, stood back to look at the fence like an artist, and then added a bit more paint in just the right place. Ben was watching Tom paint with great interest. He was getting more and more eager to have a try himself.
After a while, Ben asked Tom if he would let him paint a little. Tom thought about it, and said,
“No, Ben, I can’t. You see. Aunt Polly wants it to be done well. Aunt Polly said that I must paint it with great care.”
“Oh, please, Tom,” begged Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. Just let me try. I’ll give you half of my apple. Well, I’ll give you all of it!”
“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “You must be very careful.”
He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple. All day, boys came to make fun of Tom, but they ended up staying to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy was waiting. He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint. Then Johnny offered him twelve marbles, and so on.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (彈跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present” Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
小題1:The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is special.
A.be afraid of difficulties

小題3:The best way to keep love is to ___________.
