First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.（1）What did the writers family do for him when he was seven?A . They built a farm of ants.B .

The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Luckily, time proved that the babys hearing was perfect. Though the misfortune(不幸)happened to him, he grew into a handsome boy. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others.You should get in touch with other young people, his mother told him, with a kindness in her heart. The boys father talked with the family doctor about his ears. Could nothing be done?the father asked.

Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need, but its a secret.The operation is a big success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交的) service. One day, he asked his father, Who gave the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.You could, my son, said the father, but the agreement was that you are not to knownot yet.The years kept their secret, but one of the darkest days did come. He stood with his father over his mothers casket(棺材).

Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we dont talk to someone, well certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didnt have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, theyll be angry!”But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesnt need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So youre halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!（1）Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?A . What can they do about this?B .
