St. Martins vs Doonsberg and Northerners vs TigersBAn old man was fishing by a river. A child was watching him. The old man was really good at fishing and it didnt take him much time to catch a basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was cute, and he wanted to give her the whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked ,“Why dont you want the fish?”The child replied,“I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”“It wont take long to eat up all the fish in the basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I wont be afraid of not having any fish to eat.” the boy answered.I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesnt know how to fish, she cant have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. Its useless only having a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod”, they will no longer fear the difficulties in life. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have the fish to eat.24. What was the child doing when the old man was fishing?A. She was talking with him. B. She was playing by the river.C. She was watching the old man. D. She was helping the old man.25. Where did the old man put the fish? A. In a basket. B. In a bag. C. In a glass. D. In a box.26. Why did the child refuse to get the fish? A. Because she wanted to get the old mans fishing rod.B. Because the fish was not enough.C. Because she didnt like eating fish.D. Because the fish was too small.27.The writer thinks the child is_. A. hard-working B. lazy C. clever D. sillyCOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have good friends, you have to be a good friend. But now can you be a good friend at school? ListenListen when they are talking. Dont say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes its not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings. Help themIf your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them.

Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need. Be there for themBe there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times.

Then I found that his eyes were filled with tears. “Whats wrong, honey?” I asked. “Its a big day tomorrow; you need to sleep.” “I am afraid of school, Mum,” he said, “I dont know much about it. I dont want to go.” To any parent of a child starting primary school, these words are heartbreaking. I sat with him and told him it was okay to be afraid. And then I explained that he was ready for school. He would learn new things and make new friends. But I didnt tell him that I was afraid, too. We had spent many weeks getting pencils, bags, water bottles and lunch boxes ready. We were prepared for the first lesson in every possible way, except mentally. At last, he went to sleep. I, on the other hand, had the most nervous night Id had in months. I was going to be a school mum. I wasnt ready for that! Then the morning came. We both put on a brave face. My husband and I drove our son to school. Before I walked into class, he looked at me with a smile, “Im okay, Mum. Im excited now.” His teacher asked him to follow her. He then said goodbye to us. And that was it. No shooting, no tears. As my husband and I walked out of the school gate, I tried to hide my tears behind my glasses. He didnt cryI was so proud and I knew he was no longer the baby I pictured in my head. 32. What was the problem of the authors son?A. He cried because he didnt sleep well.B.
