It was nearly dark. The sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home with tears in his eyes.

“What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance(機會).” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road.” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There are many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet.” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. For often, achieving(獲得) what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”

It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery(風(fēng)景) is on the way.

1. Tom got back home_____________ when the sun was dropping.

When I began to move to Auckland to study the law, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried about the shortage of jobs and the cultural differences that I would face.

I came to New Zealand in July 2013. I found the people were very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a part time job to make a living.

Deciding to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job. However, I received a little or no reply. This became my daily activity after college for a few weeks.

One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job chances. The people there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in that way. As I was about to leave, a secretary in the building came up to me and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.

Along the way, I realized I had run out of copies of my resume (簡歷). The man stopped at his friend’s office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking. I handed out my resume and went home. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.

It seemed that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing (祝福).

1. The writer moved to Auckland to ______.

A. avoid the job shortage

B. face the cultural differences

D. study the law in college

2.After staying in New Zealand for a short time, the writer realized ______.

A. he needed to find a job to make a living

B. people there were not very friendly

C. he should always stay confident

D. it was easy to get a new job

3.What is the story mainly about?

A. How a secretary offered the writer a job.

B. How a secretary turned out to be a real hero.

C. How a stranger helped the writer to get a job.

D. How the writer made a living in a new country.
