The New GirlDA wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning.One day, when he was walking along the shore (海岸), he saw a young man moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.He called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man stopped, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide (潮夕) is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us.

He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint. Then Johnny offered him twelve marbles, and so on.By late afternoon Tom had gained all sorts of toys, and the fence had gained three coats of paint.

She did not like her ugly colour. She was attracted by the colour of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the colour of that beautiful lake very much.Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath，she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.”Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.Now Coyote was a trickster(骗子)---and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended(伪装)to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed, he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn't believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.Convinced (确信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped(滑倒)and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes has the dull colour of dust to this very day.1. How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful bl ue feathers?A. Three times.B. Four times.C. Five times.D. Six times.2. Why was Coyote a trickster?A. He wanted to fly like Bluebird near the mountains.B. He wanted to eat Bluebird but pretended to be curious.C. He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.D. He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn't know the words.3. Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?A. To the lake.B. To the tree.C. To the cave.D. To the hi l l.4. Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?A. Because his fur had the dull colour of dust.B. Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.C. Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.D. Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful.5. What words does the writer use to help you imagine the colour blue?A. sky, lake, mountainsB. bird, coyote, stormC. flapped, climbed, bathedD. fur, feathers, dustEEveryone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.

Some people read very rapidly(很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better? The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions(说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one.
