BreakthroughofMiddleSchoolEnglish：不要让昨日的沮丧令明天的梦想黯然失色!　　在一次讨论会上，一位著名的演说家没讲一句开场白，手里却高举着一张20美元的钞票。面对会议室里的200个人，他问：“谁要这20美元?”一只只手举了起来。他接着说：我打算把这20美元送给你们中的一位，但在这之前，请准许我做一件事。”他说着将钞票揉成一团，然后问：“谁还要?”仍有人举起手来。他又说：“那么，假如我这样做又会怎么样呢?”他把钞票扔到地上，又踏上一只脚，并且用脚碾它。尔后他拾起钞票，钞票已变得又脏又皱。“现在谁还要?”还是有人举起手来。　　“朋友们，你们已经上了一堂很有意义的课。无论我如何对待那张钞票，你们还是想要它，因为它并没贬值，它依旧值20美元。人生路上，我们会无数次被自己的决定或碰到的逆境击倒、欺凌甚至碾得粉身碎骨。我们觉得自己似乎一文不值。但无论发生什么，或将要发生什么，在上帝的眼中，你们永远不会丧失价值。在他看来，肮脏或洁净，衣着齐整或不齐整，你们依然是无价之宝。”话说得阅读者得天下，而强大的阅读能力是锻炼出来的。NotasufferingtoliveHeandsheweresittingfacetoface.Atthismoment,thelandlordcameinandasked,“Areyousureyoudonotrentthehouseanymore?”Hekeptsilentandsheonlyshookherhead.Theyweregoingtodivorce,soitwasobviousthattheywouldnotcontinuerentingthehouseanymore. Thenthelandlordbeganexaminingthehouse.Afterlookingaround,thelandlordscreamed,“DamnGod!Seehowyouhaveruinedmyhouse?Thewallsarefullofnails!HowcouldIrentthehousetoothers?”Hesaid,“Theroomistoosmallandcanhardlyaccommodateallofourthings.Sowecouldonlyhangthemonthewalls。”Thelandlorddidnotlistentohimandturnedarounduptothefloor。Shebeganlookingaroundherfamiliarroom.Fouryearsago,shebecamehisbridehere.Onthenightoftheirmarriage,hefeltdeeplyguiltytoher,saying,“Ifeelso6\nsorrytoyouforhavingyouliveinthissmallroom.InthefutureIwillearnalotofmoneytobuyourownhouse。”Theroomwasonly13squaremeterswithtwonailsonthewallnexttothedoor,oneforhertohangherbagandtheotherforhangingumbrellas.Atthattime,shethrewallherstuffsuchasherbagandumbrellaontheflooroncesheenteredtheroom,staringatthewholemessandfeelingterriblyupset。Therewerethreenailsontheleftwall,onwhichhunghisclothesyesterday.Afterhelivedintheroom,heremovedalltheclothesboxesandboughtheradeskinthesparedroombecauseheknewshelovedwritinganddrawing. Therewerefournailsontherightwallthatwereusedtofixtheirweddingphotoframe.Butnowtherewereonlyfournailswithouttheframe.Shestillrememberedhegothurtonhisfingerswhentryingtodrivethenailshome.Itwasherwhopushedhimtoreceiveaninjectionagainsttetanusinthehospital. Thelandlordtookatoolkitdownandtriedtoprythenailsoutwhengroaningatthesametime.Afterthenailswereremoved,thewallswereleftwithnumerousholes.Allofasudden,shefeltharshlyheartbrokenasifherheartwaspiercedthroughthoseholesandbleedingnonstop。Shesprangfromtheseatandexclaimed,“Stoppryingthenails!Wewillcontinuerentingthehouseandwillonlymoveawayafterwebuyourown!”Helookedatherwithgreatsurprise,andthenturnedround,tearingoverhisface.Shefinallycametounderstandthatmarriagewaslikeawallandthatallquarrels,“coldwars”andsuspicionswerelikethenailsonthewall.Whenallthenailswereremoved,onlyawallwithnumerousholeswouldbeleft.Butifallthenailswerestillintheirownplaces,thewallwasstillintactandreliable.Butinthepast,whatshesawwasonlythoseprovokingnails。Theyhungallthethingsbacktothewall.Heaskedher,“Areyoureallywillingtoleadatoughlifewithme?”Shepattedawaytheashesonhandsandlookedatthewallswithloadsofstuffonthemsatisfactorily,saying,“Yes!Forme,itisnotasufferingtolive。词汇积累：写作：Buttheteachercried　Thesix-year-oldJohnwasterriblyspoiled.Hisfatherknewit,buthisgrandmadotedonhim.Hehardlyleftherside.Andwhenhewantedanything,heeithercriedorthrewatempertantrum.Thencamehisfirstdayofschool,hisfirstdayawayfromhisgrandmother'slovingarms.　Whenhecamehomefromschoolhisgrandmamethimatthedoor.　"Wasschoolallright?"sheasked,"Didyougetalongallright?didyoucry?"　"Cry?"Johnasked."No,Ididn'tcry,buttheteacherdid!"【完形填空】6\nItwasasmalltowninEngland．Thepeoplethereworkedhardbuttheyalwaysgotpoor  1  Theweatherwascoldandwetanditwasbadfortheir  2  Therewasonlyaprimaryschoolinthetownand  3  peopleweresopoorthattheycouldn'tsendtheirchildrenthere．MrMorgan,  4  fatherwastheheadmaster,wassenttoauniversityinthecapital．He  5  lawthereandknewmuch．Heusually  6  tohishometownduringhisholidaysandalotofhisfriendswantsto  7  him．Theyaskedalotaboutthecapitalandhopedtobegivensomeadviceontheirown  8  Theyoungmanwaswarm-heartedandwas  9  tohelpthem．Hewasbusytherebuthedidn't  10  it．MrWaley,oneoftheMorgans'neighbours,hadashopinthecentreofthetown．HehadbeenasoldierinFranceandalways  11 heknewmoreandlikedtotalkwithothers．Buthegotintotroubleand  12  MrMorgancouldhelphim．Butbeforetheyoungmansaida  13 ,hetalkedonandoninaflawofeloquence（口若悬河）．MrMorgan  14  himfornearlyanhourandthenhebegantopourhimacupoftea．Thecupwasfullbuthedidn't  15  andwentonpouring．Theshopkeeperfelt  16  andsaid,“Haven'tyoufoundthecupisfull?Youcan'tpouranyteaintoit．”“You're  17   ,MrWaley,”theyoungmanstoppedtosay．“Yourbrainhasbeenfullofallkindsof  18  likethefullcap．HowcanIhelpyou  19  Igiveyouanemptyone?Youcomeheretoaskmefor  20 ,youknow!”1．A．education B．harvestsC．soilD．government2．A．healthB．livesC．cropsD．animals3．A．mostB．fewC．afewD．no4．A．hisB．whichC．thatD．whose5．A．hatedB．discussedC．studiedD．explained6．A．returnedB．agreedC．repliedD．wrote7．A．playwithB．flightwithC．offerD．visit8．A．studiesB．businessC．farmingD．science9．A．readyB．successfulC．properD．impossible10．A．forget B．rememberC．likeD．mind11．A．advisedB．thoughtC．describedD．discovered12．A．madeB．orderedC．hopedD．suggested13．A．storyB．WordC．passageD．reason14．A．heardB．talkedw
