At first, I thought Lucy was able to ride her bike along the track, but she quickly found that her bike was too low to the ground and kept getting stuck on top of the bump.Lucy looked at me with fear because she was still a biking newbie. I tried to encourage her too, but really, I was thinkingthis is going to be a disaster. Not because I thought she would get hurt. More because I thought she wouldnt be able to pick up enough speed to balance, then get really discouraged, and give up quickly. I imagined her throwing her bicycle to the ground and then crying all the way home.But I was only half right. Lucy did have a lot of trouble riding the bike. She couldnt find her balance. She fell many times. At one point, she almost started crying because younger kids were getting angry that she was slowing everyone else down. But she did not give up. She kept picking herself up and trying again. She even took the bike off the track and into the main park to practice pushing off and picking up speed on a flat ground. When she felt more confident, she came back. Then she did it over and over again until she finally reached her goal of going around the whole track without falling once. Then she didnt want to leave and everyone was cheering her on.This was not a day that ended in a disaster. It was a day when Lucy learned that perseverance pays off.（1）Why was Lucy taken to the park last weekend？ A . TO play other kids.B . To discover a track for fun.C . To find her speed was too slow.D .

The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that he also took some stones out from our bags at times, but we thought maybe he had just found better samples than the ones we already had.When we reached the house in the late afternoon, we were tired out. The backpacks were so heavy that we gave a big sigh of relief when we put them on the ground.Yet our uncles backpack was half-empty.Why did you give us so many stones? we asked.I didnt. You did, he said, You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（态度） test today.What do you mean an attitude test? we wondered. It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something with an attitude of gratitude（感恩） and positive（正面的） thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.We did. They were full.Your negative（负面的） thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is.
