A game of “catch” is just two people throwing a ball back and forth (來(lái)回地). They might have baseball               , or they might use their hands.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball          to make you get used to using a ball and a glove. But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than that.
Playing catch is a time for kids to be with their          . It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about besides catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as smoothly as the ball itself back-and-forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to spend time          .When you ask some adults(成年人) to          the good memories of their dads, they nearly always say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very          with their work. A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has his or her dad’s attention. There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away          you. For the time of playing a game of catch—your dad is all          .

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test. ” he said. “And because I know you are all able to understand these questions. I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test. ’’
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said. “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. ”Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper： Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that. but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons. whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight，80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However，there is nothing you can’t do or leant to be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗瑪峰)said，“We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves. ”

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet viewing of the wonderful paintings.
A young couple were viewing the paintings in front of me and chatting with each other without stop. I watched them for a moment and noticed the man’s wife was doing all the talking. I was surprised to see that the man was so patient and could stand his wife’s words, but I still moved on.
I met them several times when I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard she continued talking about the paintings, I moved away quickly.
I was buying some gifts in the museum shop when the couple came near to the gate. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out something brown. He turned it into a long stick and then tapped(輕敲) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man,” a clerk beside me said. “Most of us would give up if we became blind at such a young age. During his treatment, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot , more than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting, so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience(耐心), courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person who was blind and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to make his life different. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away holding each other’s hands.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填空，每空填一詞。
小題1:When I stayed at the art museum, I ___________ to look at the wonderful paintings without any ___________.
小題2:To my ___________, only the wife kept talking about the paintings all the time while her husband just listened to her ___________.
小題3: I didn’t realize that something was wrong with the young man’s ___________ until I noticed him using a long ___________ to trap his way.
小題4: The man can see each painting in his ___________ because his wife ___________ it to him.
小題5: The young couple not only share a common interest in ___________ but also share their strong ___________.

We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though,
we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.
In fact, this is one of the ways that we're tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of（失去對(duì)….的意識(shí)） time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (腎上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details(細(xì)節(jié))over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps（午覺(jué)）． Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive（感知） time again.
Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
小題1: According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long ?
A．weekends and holidaysB．weekends and work
C．classes and workD．holidays and work
小題2:Which is NOT the wrong impressions that we often have about time according to the website listing?
A．negative emotionsB．positive emotions
C．a(chǎn)drenaline D．scientists
小題3:According to the passage, in which situation do we make mistakes about time?
A．We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.
B．We have a math test when we fall down from a high place.
C．We may have trouble telling what time it is after a long nap.
D．We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays.
小題4:According to the passage , what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger ?
A．Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.
B．We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.
C．Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.
D．We will forget far more details over a short period of time.
小題5:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?
A．Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time.
B．When we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and we are able to feel like time is going more slowly.
C．If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will take a while before we can correctly perceive time again
D．Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

In front of my daughter, Shelly, was a bowl filled with cabbage. She hated cabbage. She only sat there in silence with tears in her eyes.
“Shelly, my dear, why don’t you eat a little? If not, your mum will shout at us.”
