Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons
before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other one was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly without moving.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make it fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. He decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to solve the problem. Then he sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. "It is unbelievable!" shouted the king. "How could you make it happen?"
The farmer replied, "It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested." It is always the same to humans.

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope (羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, "I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed."(1) the first thing the lion thinks about is,"I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death." So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.
This is life: full of chances and challenges.(2) For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word "exam" meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up,I got to know competition well.(3) .
Each time I saw children playing games,and heard their laughter,I wished I were that age again.(4) So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.
I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English﹣speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly.(5) It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.
A. When a lion wakes from his dream B. I suddenly knew what competition was C. There must be competitions in one' s life, so people can improve D. However, I remembered my parents' words, "You must work very hard in order to have a good future." E. Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises |
A number of years ago, a man went to visit a circus(马戏团) in New York.He was able to walk around looking at the lions, monkeys, bears and other circus animals.As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped.He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg.No chains, no cages.It was clear that the elephants could,at anytime,break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away."Well,"the trainer said,"when they are very young and much smaller,we use the same size rope to tie them and,at that age,its enough to hold them.As they grow up.they still believe they can not breakaway.They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free."
"How could it be?"said the man.These animals could at anytime break free from ropes.But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.

Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy.. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.
One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo's sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie's face was very sad.
"Poor boy!" Jo thought. "He's all alone. He needs some friends." She couldn't stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?
Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie's grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.
"What are you going to do, Jo?" asked her sister Meg.
"To clear the garden path." Answered Jo.
When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.
Jo laughed and shouted, "How are you? Are you ill?"
Laurie opened the window and said," I'm better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week".
"I'm sorry," said Jo. "Are you bored?"
"Yes, very." he replied.
"Don't your friends come to visit you?"
"No. But I don't want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache."
"Girls are quiet."
"I don't know any girls."
"You know us."
"That's true! Can you come and visit me?" cried Laurie.
" I'm not quiet, but I'd like to come," replied Jo. "I must ask Mother first." She ran back into her house.
A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie's house. A servane took her upstairs.
"Here I am!" she said brightly. "Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange (牛奶冻) for you."
"That looks delicious," Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.
Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.
"A nice room!" she said. "I can read to you if you like."
"No, let's talk," replied Laurie.
"All right," said Jo, "I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop."
"You have three sisters﹣Amy, Beth and Meg." Laurie continued.
"How do you know this?" Jo was surprised.
"You call each other's names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven't got a mother."
Jo felt sad when she heard this.
"Why don't you come and visit us?" she said, "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time."
"Thank you. I'd like to come very much." Said Laurie.
"We know all our neighbours except you." Jo said, " I'm glad we're friends now."
She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said," Besides(除了……之外) plays, I also love books." Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.
"Wow!" she said, "All those books!"
Laurie said, "A person needs more than books."

D. People should relax themselves besides reading
This story is about Mrs. Jones, an 82﹣year﹣old lady. Although her life was hard, she was always nicely dressed every day. This morning Mrs Jones was moving to the nursing home. The nursing home was very busy. After hours of waiting, Mrs Jones still smiled sweetly when she was told that her room was ready.(1)在去她房间的路上,我告诉她房间是什么样子的.
Suddenly she said, "I love it!"
"But Mrs Jones, you haven't seen the room yet!" I was surprised at her reply.She stopped and said,"Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is placed. (2)It depends on how I decide to think about the room. I have already decided to love the room before I actually see it."
Then she continued, "I have a choice. I can spend the day in bed and consider how tiny my room is.Or I can just get out of bed and be thankful that I can still enjoy a new day. Each day is a gift. (3)I'll enjoy my life and all the happy memories. I have stored them in my bank account (账户) before."
Life is like a bank account. You can take out what you've put in. (4)If you have put a lot of happiness in your bank account, you can take out some of it when you feel sad.
Attitude (态度) is everything.
