初中英语人生感悟类阅读试题

My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body． Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer．

When I was younger， I thought sound was very important to us as humans． So I said， "My ears， Mommy．" She said， "No， many people are deaf． But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon．"

Several years had passed before she asked me again， Since making my first try， I had thought over the correct answer． So this time I told her， "Mommy， sight（视力） is very important to everybody， so it must be our eyes．" She looked at me and told me． "You are learning fast， but the answer is not correct because there are many people who can't see．"

Over the years， Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was， "No， but you are getting smarter every year， my boy．"

Then last year， my grandpa died． Everybody was hurt． Everybody was crying at the funeral （葬礼）． My mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa． She asked me， "Do you know the most important body part yet， my dear？"

I was shocked when she asked me this now． I always thought this was a game between her and me． She saw the confusion （团惑） on my face and told me， "This question is very important． It shows that you have really lived your life．" I saw her eyes in tears．

She said， "My dear， the most important body part is your shoulder．"

I asked， "Is it because it holds up（抬起） your head ？"

She replied， "No， it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry． Everybody requires a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life， my dear． I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you require it．"

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish （白私的） one． It is Sympathetic （体谅的） to the pain of others．

Once there was a famine（饥荒）．A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them， "In this basket there is a piece of bread for each of you．Take it and come back to me every day at this hour for more．"

In a hurry the hungry children got together around the basket，and fought over the bread because each wanted the largest piece．At last they went away without even thanking the good cook． Mary， a poorly﹣dressed girl， did not fight with the other children，but stood quietly in distance．When the badly﹣behaved children had left，Mary took the smallest piece，which was all left in the basket．She kissed the cook's hand and went home．

The next day the children were as badly﹣behaved as before． Mary got a piece of bread almost half the size of the one she got the first day．When she came home，her mother cut the bread open． Many new， shining pieces of silver fell out of it．

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there．They serve some certain purpose，teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become．You never know who these people may be：your classmate，neighbor，teacher，long﹣lost friend or even a real stranger．But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way．

Sometimes things happen to you．At the time they may seem terrible，painful and unfair．But later you realize that without overcoming those difficulties，you would have never realized your further ability and advantages．Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck．

The people you meet influence your life，and the success and failure you experience create who you are．Even the bad experience can be learned from．In fact，they are probably the most poignant and important ones．

Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can，for you may never be able to experience it again．Talk to people whom you have never talked to before，and really listen．You should set your goals high，hold your head up，tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself．
