Money was tight and he became very angry when the child tried to decorate a box under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, “Dont you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, its not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. Theyre all for you, Daddy.” The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is said that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God.

A sad story about a girl and her fatherB It is hard to believe that a game as fast and exciting as soccer had its origin in a religious ceremony several thousand years ago in Egypt. At that time, the contest was between teams of pretty girls who had first taken part in a beauty contest and parade. After putting on armor(盔甲), they were divided into teams and fought with sticks over a round stone. The stone is believed to have represented the sun, or possibly the head of the goddess of agriculture, and this ceremony is thought to be the origin of all ball games. The custom of teams competing for control of a round object, or a ball, spread across North Africa, the Arabic countries, and Persia. The people of Persia made the game still more exciting and dangerous by riding horses while they played. A variety of the Egyptian sports traveled to India, and records show that a type of soccer game was played in China as early as 112 AD. The ancient Greeks and Romans had their versions, too. The American Indians also developed similar games. Probably the most popular team sports in the world today are soccer, baseball, and basketball. Soccer, called football in many countries, is becoming more and more popular, and today millions of young men of all races and nationalities are enjoying it. Standard rules, established in 1863 by a group of men in England, have made international matches possible, and there are now huge soccer stadiums in almost every country of the world. A stadium in Brazil, for instance, holds seventy thousand people.61. What kind of game was soccer when it was first played? A. It was very fast and exciting.B. It was a beauty contest. C.

The peacock lived in a tree on the bank of the stream in which the tortoise had his home, and every day the peacock danced near the stream and displayed his gay plumage（羽毛）for the amusement of his friend. Unfortunately, one day a bird-catcher caught the peacock and was about to take him away to the market. The unhappy bird begged his captor to allow him to say goodbye to his friend the tortoise. The bird-catcher agreed and took the peacock to the tortoise, who was greatly astonished when he saw his friend become a captive. The tortoise asked the bird-catcher to let the peacock go, but the bird-catcher laughed at his request, saying that was his livelihood. The tortoise then said, “If I give you a handsome present, will you let my friend go?” “Certainly,” answered the bird-catcher. So the tortoise dived into the water and in a few seconds came up with a handsome pearl. To the bird-catchers astonishment, the tortoise handed it to him. This was beyond his expectation, and he let the peacock go immediately. A short time later, the avaricious man came back and told the tortoise that he thought he had not been paid enough for the release of his friend, and threatened that unless he received another pearl which matched the first one, he would again catch the peacock. The tortoise, who had already advised his friend to go to a distant place on being set free, was greatly enraged（使发怒）at the greed of this man. “Well,” said the tortoise, “if you insist on having another pearl like that one, give it to me and I will fish you out an exact match for it.” The cupidity（贪婪）of the bird-catcher prevented his reasoning that “one in the hand is equal to two in the bed of the stream”, and he quickly gave the pearl to the wily tortoise, who swam out with it, saying, “I am no fool to take one and give two!” and disappeared immediately, leaving the bird-catcher to be sorry for his greed.66. This passage is a _. A. joke B. fairy tale C. fable D. life story67. Why did the bird-catcher come back to the tortoise?A. Because he wanted to win a match.B.

The old mans hands trembled, his eyesight was not clear, and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfathers shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and the daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about Grandfather,” said the son. “Ive had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.” So the husband and the wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced at Grandfather, he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mum to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfathers hand and gently led him back to the family table. Let us all be wise builders and role models. Take care of yourself and those you love today, and every day!71. It was very difficult for Grandfather to have a meal because _.
