25 December, 1883
My dearest family,
It is the afternoon of Christmas Day and it is truly a day for celebration. Five days ago we sold our first wheat harvest(丰收) and received a certain number of money , 1 10 bags of flour(面粉) for our own use. At last we feel that we will be 2 in our new land.
It has not been an easy road. There were times when I thought I was foolish to leave the comfort of family and the mild climate of England. In 3 first year, Mary and I worked side by side to 4 the scrub(灌木) and trees from a small part of our land to grow the wheat. We used the trees we cut to make walls and to build a small house for the kitchen.
My dear Mary has worked as hard as any man to make our dream come true. All through that first year we had only a tent to live in and had to 5 water from the lake for our bath and for the washing. Not 6 did she complain(抱怨).
Last spring, after the seeds(种子) were planted, I began work on our house, 7 Mary worked in our kitchen garden. It is a very poor home, just one bedroom and a living room, with a kitchen at the back. But we have a wide veranda(外廊) on the three sides of the house and it is here that we spend most of our 8 time when it is hot. We now have a 9 so we no longer have to make the journey down to
the lake. Our new bathtub(浴缸) sits proudly on the back veranda and bathing has become a pleasure once more.
We will soon start working on clearing more land for wheat, which is much needed in the new home. If we have a few more good 10 , I will be able to build Mary a better house and at last we can start our family. I have heard that in some years this land goes through terrible dry, but I wish that this will not
11 any time soon.
I wish you all a happy Christmas and that this letter finds 12 one of you in good health.
Your son and brother,
George

There once was a king who offered a prize to anyone who would
paint the best picture of peace. The king looked at all the pictures but
there were only two that he really liked.
The first picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror
for peaceful mountains. Overhead was a blue sky with white clouds.
Everyone who saw this picture thought it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell with lightning(闪电). On the side of the mountain was a waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the king looked closer, he saw a small tree growing in the rock behind the waterfall. In the tree, a mother bird had built
her nest(巢). There, in the angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest.
The king chose the second picture as the winner. He explained that peace did not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart.
1. What can you see in the first picture?

A lady in an old cotton dress and her husband, dressed in an old suit,
stepped off the train in Boston, and walked into the president of
Harvard?s outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such
country people had no business at Harvard. She frowned(皱眉). “We
want to see the president,” the man said softly. “He?ll be busy all day,”
the secretary said coldly. “We?ll wait,” the lady replied.
For hours, the secretary didn?t talk to them, hoping that the coupl e
would finally become tired and go away. They didn?t. And the secretary finally decided to disturb the president. “Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they?ll leave,” she told him. He frowned too. Someone of his importance didn?t have the time t o spend with nobodies.
The president walked toward them unwillingly. The lady told him, “We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to set up a memorial(纪念碑) to him somewhere on campus（校园）. ” The president was so surprised that he shouted sharply, “We can?t put up a statue(塑像) for every person who attended Harvard and died, this place would look like a cemetery.
“Oh, no” the lady explained, “we don?t want to build a statue. We thought we would give a building to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at their plain clothes, and said with surprise, “A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? The physical building at Ha rvard cost seven million and a half.”
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a univer sity?” Her husband nodded(点头). Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they
set up the university with their name -------a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
You can easily judge(判断) others by how they treat those who can do nothing for them or to them.

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said
to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of
Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and plantin g
apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding
richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, "An apple a day keeps
the doctor away." This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an "apple polisher". This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the "apple of our eye".
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a de ssert (甜点) , and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally, when it?s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is "the biggest apple" of all the American cities.
1. Why was Johnny Appleseed so famous?
A. He had a great love of nature.
B. He liked the American people.
C. He went throughout the country.
D. He collected apple seeds and planted apple trees.
2. What does the underlined phrase "apple polisher" mean?
A. Something for cutting apples.
B. A person who likes to please others.
C. A person who is dealing with fruits.
D. A machine for cleaning apples quickly.
3. Which of the following is TRUE with apples?
A. Apples are medicine.
B. Apples are the most important food.
C. New York is famous for its big apples.
D. The Bible says Adam was given an apple.
4. The passage is mainly about______.
A. stories about the apple

A Bag of Kindness
“Class, tomorrow I want you to bring a cup of macaroni（通心粉) for our craft class, OK?" These words from my teacher echoed（回响）in my mind all evening. I was afraid of the next day because I knew we had no macaroni at home. Living in an alcoholic(多酒精的) environment, we never had too much of anything except beer bottles.
I went home after school. Where could I find macaroni? I knew that the local bottle shop gave ten cents for a beer bottle, so I decided to sell some bottles to get money for macaroni.
I started collecting the bottles and put them in my wagon（大车）. After selling those bottles, I earned eighty cents. Although I did my best, I still had no macaroni for my craft class.
"Weren?t you listening when I asked you to bring it, John?" my teacher asked.
I was embarrassed（尴尬）. I didn?t know what to say and other children started laughing. Then a little girl, Rosalyn, who sat beside me, turned to me and said, "You can have some of mine.” She offered a bag of macaroni to me. The kindness in her eyes made me start to cry and I ran out of the room in shame.
I never took her macaroni or thanked her for her bag of kindness. However, I often think about Rosalyn and the way she turned to save me that day. Once, I spent a great deal of my life letting anger, hurt and shutting-out be around me. I kept kind people like Rosalyn away, but after that class, I changed my attitude. I thanked all the people like Rosalyn that made this world a better place to live in.

美文欣赏
Life is like a train ride. We get on. We ride. We get off. We get back on and ride some more. There are accidents and there are delays. At certain stops there are surprises. Some of these will translate into great moments of joy; some will result in profound sorrow.
人生就如一趟火车之旅。我们上车，前进，下车。接着，我们又回到火车上，再乘坐几程。这当中会有意外发生，也会出现延误的情况。在某些站点，我们会遇上令人惊异之事，或会化作喜悦时刻，或会以刻骨悲痛收场。
When we are born and we first board the train, we meet people whom we think will be with us for the entire journey. Those people are our parents! Sadly, this is far from the truth. Our parents are with us for as long as we absolutely need them. They, too, have journeys they must complete. We live on with the memories of their love, affection, friendship, guidance and their constant presence.
出生后，第一次踏上火车时，我们会遇见一些我们自以为将陪伴我们走完整个旅程的人，那就是我们的父母！令人难过的是,事实远不是如此。在我们的确需要我们的父母时，他们会在我们身边。但他们也有他们必须完成的旅程。带着他们的爱、深情、友谊、指引和时刻相伴的这些记忆，我们继续着自己的生活。There are others who board the train and who eventually become very important to us, in turn. These people are our brothers, sisters, friends and acquaintances, whom we will learn to love, and cherish.
还有些登上火车的人最终会成为对于我们至关重要的人。这些人就是我们的兄弟、姐妹、朋友和熟人，我们将学着去爱他们，去珍惜他们。
Some people consider their journey like a jaunty tour. They will just go merrily along. Others will encounter many upsets, tears and losses on their journey. Others still, will linger on to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.
有些人把他们的人生看作是一次无忧无虑的旅程，他们一路上都会快乐前行。另一些人会在他们的旅程中遇上许多烦心的事，泪流连连，每每失落。另一些人则会驻足停留，向任何需要帮助的人伸出援手。Some people on the train will leave an everlasting impression when they get off. Some will get on and get off the train so quickly, they will scarcely leave a sign that they ever travelled along with you or ever crossed your path.
火车上的一些人下了车，还会让你久久难忘。一些人匆匆上车又匆匆下车，几乎没留下任何曾和你一同走过一段旅程抑或曾遇上你的痕迹。
We will sometimes be upset that some passengers, whom we love, will choose to sit in another compartment and leave us to travel on our own. Then again, there?s nothing that says we can?t seek them out anyway. Nevertheless, once sought out and found, we may not even be able to sit next to them because that seat will already be taken.
有时，当我们所爱之人选择坐在另一节车厢里，留我们独自旅行时，我们会感到心烦意乱。但话说回来，也没规定说我们不能主动去找他们。然而，一旦找到，我们却会发现，自己也许已不能坐在他们身旁了，因为那个位置已被别人占了。
That?s okay …everyone?s journey will be filled with hopes, dreams, challenges, setbacks and goodbyes.没关系……每个人的旅程都将充满希望、梦想、挑战、挫折和离别。
We must strive to make the best of it… no matter what. We must constantly strive to understand our travel companions and look for the best in everyone.
无论如何，我们必须努力使我们的人生之旅过得充实精彩。我们必须不断努力去理解我们的旅伴，从他们每个人身上发掘最亮的闪光点。
Remember that at any moment during our journey, any one of our travel companions can have a weak moment and be in need of our help. We, too, may vacillate or hesitate, even trip. Hopefully, we can count on someone being there to be supportive and understanding…
记住，在旅程中的任何时刻，我们的任何一位旅伴都可能有脆弱的时候，并需要我们的帮助。我们也会有犹豫不决、迟疑，甚至跌倒的时候。只是希望我们能依靠身边的人给予我们支持和理解……
The bigger mystery of our journey is that we don?t know when our last stop will come. Neither do we know when our travel companions will make their last stop. Not even those sitting in the seat next to us. Personally, I know I?ll be sad to make my final stop… I?m sure of it! My separation from all those friends and acquaintances I made during the train ride will be painful. Leaving all those I?m close to will be a sad thing. But then again, I?m certain that one day I?ll get to the main station only to meet up with everyone else. They?ll all be carrying their baggage, most of which they didn?t have when they first got on this train.我们的旅途较为神秘之处在于，我们不知道我们何时到达人生的最后一站，也不清楚我们的旅伴，甚至是那些就坐在我们身旁的人何时走完他们的最后一程。就我个人而言，我知道走最后一程时，我会悲伤……这点我很肯定！和所有在旅程中遇见的朋友和熟人分别，我会很痛苦。离开所有我亲近的人是件让
人难过的事。但话说回来，总有一天,我会到达中心车站，和其他所有人会合。他们都会提着各自的行李,而其中大部分行李是他们初次踏上这列火车时不曾有的。
I?ll be glad to see them again. I?ll also be glad to have contributed to their baggage and to have enriched their lives, just as much as they will have contributed to my baggage and enriched my life.
再次见到他们，我会很高兴。自己曾作为部分记忆被装进他们的行李箱，丰富了他们的人生，就像他们曾作为部分记忆被装进我的行李箱，丰富了我的人生一样，对此，我会感到开心。
We?re all on this train ride together. Above all, we should all try to strive to make the ride as pleasant and memorable as we can, right up until we each make the final stop and leave the train for the last time.
我们所有人一起乘坐着这趟火车。最重要的是，我们都应该尽可能地使我们的人生之旅过得愉快而难忘，直到我们每个人都抵达最后一个站，最后一次走下火车。
All aboard!
乘客全部到齐！
Safe journey!!
一路平安！！
BON VOYAGE!
旅途愉快！
