I think we should study ants.Ants have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part：they never give up. Thats a good philosophy. If theyre headed somewhere and you try to stop them, theyll look for another way. Theyll climb over, and theyll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy to never quit looking for a way to get where theyre supposed to go.Second, ants think winter all summer. Thats an important view. You cant be so naive (无知的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering their winter food in summer. An ancient story says, “Dont build your house on the sand in summer.” There is some reason in what it says. It is important to think ahead. In summer, youve to think about the storm. Youve got to think about rocks when you enjoy the sand and sun. The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This wont last long；well soon be out of here.” And on the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, theyll go back, but then they come out again if it is warm. They cant wait to get out.And here is the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can. What an incredible (难以置信的) philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy.What a great philosophy to have the ant philosophy! Never give up, look ahead, stay active and do all you can.56. If ants have trouble reaching somewhere, they will_.A. give up their effort at last B. 1ook for others helpC. wait for a chance to come D. get there in another way57. In Paragraph 3, people are advised _.A. to build their houses in winterB. to gather some food in winterC. to build the house on the sand in summerD. to think about the danger while in safety58. The third part of the ant philosophy is _. .A. more important than the other threeB. to believe in yourself and think about no difficultyC. to be active and full of hope for future D. that we should know winter is longer than summer59. Which of the following shows the “all-that-you-possibly can” philosophy? A. We should try our best to do what we can. B. One should think of what will happen in the future.C. One should get more pay for what he has done.D. We should spend more time doing our work.BWestern New Bridge Library AnnouncementShortened Library Hours for Spring BreakLibrary Hours have been shortened to 7 hours a day (900 a. m. - 400 p. m. ) for Spring Break from March 24 to March 30.Coming EventsOn Monday, March 24, at 1030 a. m. , Scott Sutton, a childrens writer, will tell stories to kids over seven.

The announcement is mainly intended for_.A. workers of the libraryB. parents of the school childrenC. the school childrenD. volunteers of the activitiesCOne night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didnt pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey！Kevin, do you want to talk?”No response. I tried again, “Why dont you come out of there?”Again, no response.So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you dont want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevins notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. Im not the youngest, and Im not the oldest, and Im not talented. Tommy thinks Im stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because hes better at basketball. And youre never around to even notice me.”Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and Im sorry I dont always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards, wrote on a torn up paper cup, “Thanks.”I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half-notice my family members anymore. Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset well smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”64. Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?A. Because he lost in the fight with Tommy.B. Because the author didnt help him win Tommy. .C. Because he felt no love from the family members.D. Because he hurt him when rushing up the stairs.65. What could be the reason that Kevin thinks his Dad doesnt like him? A. Kevin likes fighting with others.B. Kevin is not good at playing basketball.C. Kevin doesnt want to talk to others.D. Kevin is not talented as his brother.66. What did the author learn from the incident?A. Its hard to comfort young brothers at home.B. Its dangerous to half notice someone in the family.C. Its important for family members to show their love.D. The best way to communicate with family members is by writing.DIf I had to select a word that best describes the majority of American parents, that word would be guilt-ridden. How sad it is to see parents become the willing victims of the “give-me game”, only to discover that, no matter what they do, it isnt enough. In the end, they are looked down upon for their lack of firmness and blamed when their spoiled children get into trouble. With this in mind, I shall first answer this question: “What do parents owe their children?” and I shall start with what they dont owe them.Parents dont owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy. They dont owe round-the-clock car service, singing lessons, tennis lessons, an expensive car when they reach sixteen, or a trip to Europe when they graduate.I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can afford it, fine. But they must not feel guilty if they cant. If the children really want to go, theyll find a way. There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who cant afford to pay.After children marry, their parents do not owe them a house or money for the furniture. They do not have an obligation to baby-sit their grandchildren when the parents were on vacation. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation.In my opinion, parents do not owe their children an inheritance(遗产), no matter how much money they have. One of the surest ways to produce a loafer is to let children know that their future is assured.Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief obligations is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem is the basis of a good mental health.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.
