During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them. One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me why wouldnt she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out? When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didnt need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others in need.

But when bad weather gives you trouble, can you still make it before the bell rings? In northern China during spring, big sandstorms often make trouble for students and everyone else. When the sky is dark with sand, buses and cars all move much more slowly. Sometimes, people cant even see for 20 metres. Sandstorms usually happen in spring. This year, sandstorms started in late March. They have happened in more than 10 provinces in northern China this year. More than 70 million people have had problems in those places because of the sandstorms.People in southern China dont have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from Gansu and Inner Mongolia. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and dont get much rain. People there have been cutting down too many trees. When there arent many trees, the ground cant keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes looser. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky. Sandstorms are bad for peoples health. If people breathe too much sand, they may cough or have asthma（哮喘）. Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never get back home. The winds also tear down farmers houses. What can you do to stop sandstorms? Heres an idea: Ask you parents to help you plant some trees this spring. If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them from cutting.( )62. Which of the following provinces in China is often hit by sandstorms?A. Fujian Province. B. Yunnan Province. C. Jiangsu Province. D. GansuProvince.( )63. The underlined phrase “tear down” in the sentence means “_”.A. 使哭泣 B. 弄倒 C. 刮走 D.加固( )64. According to the passage, what CANT be caused by sandstorms?A. Health problems. B. Traffic problems.C. The loss of farm animals. D. The loose ground( )65. Which is NOT true according to the passage？_ .A. Trees can help keep enough rain water B. More trees need to be planted C.

Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well. Courage may make you confident of your success. If you have courage, you wont show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous. With courage, you may still smile even if you are badly ill and know you are at the end of your life. How can we build up our courage? Believe that you will be successful. Take chances and know that you have your own talents . Besides, your family and friends are always there for you. Exercise your courage. Its like a muscle. The more we use it, the stronger our courage will be. Never give up. Its much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong. Fight to control your fear. Courageous people may still be afraid, but the difference is that they can control their fear. They dont let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they dont go on.Get courage by reading inspiring stories of brave people. Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of. 76 to build up our courageEveryone needs courage to do everything.
