24、Decide to Do Well
Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.
I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.
I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you WANT to do?”
I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.
“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me. ” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.
Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.
Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.

D. It was his mother that made the decision for him.
【4】Why did the writer make the decision?
A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently.
B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.

25、Arguments (争吵) between teenagers and parents can be a problem and should be taken seriously.
A few examples of the arguments.
Parent: Mike is always making trouble in school. You’d better keep away from him. Ben: You don’t know him as well as I do. Stop trying to tell me who I can make friends with. |
Parent: Don’t spend so much time playing computer games. You should do something meaningful. Grace: I’ve already finished my homework. I just want to relax. |

26、“That Tom is going to make a lot of trouble. He kept putting cotton into Martha’s sack(麻袋),” Sambo told Legree that night.
“Then we’ll have to give him a lesson.” said Legree.
Slowly the tired slaves(奴隶) came into the room for the weighing of the sacks. First Legree weighed Tom’s sack, and it was enough. Martha’s sack was next. The weight was enough, but Legree shouted at her.
“You lazy animal! This is not enough! Stay here and wait.” He finished weighing all the other sacks, and then turned to Tom.
“Come here,” said Legree, “I want to give you a better job than picking cotton, and you can start tonight: take this woman and whip(鞭打) her—you know how.”
“I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “I can’t do it.”
Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his fists many times.
“There!” he said. “Now will you tell me you can’t do it ?”
“Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person”.
“I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul(灵魂).” he said, kicking Tom.
“My soul isn’t yours! You can’t buy it!”
“We’ll see,” said Legree, “Sambo, Quimbo, give this dog, a lesson.”
It was late at night, and Tom lay bleeding alone, among pieces of broken machinery. He heard a noise. “Who’s there? Please, give me some water!”
It was Cassy. She helped him drink and then she cleaned his wounds and put something soft under his head. Tom felt better.

27、
Reading is fun! In addition to reading for fun, though, we can also analyze (分析) texts to learn more from the texts and more about the texts. One way we can do this with story books, passages, or poems is by discovering what the theme is exactly.
The theme of a book is the “big idea” that runs throughout the text, which connects the characters and events. Many times, it is related to what the main character learned over the course of the story. Most of the time, the theme of a book is not written out in the words, you have to use clues in the text to infer it. Themes can be ideas like friendship, bravery, love, honesty or family. The theme might not be able to be said in just one word though. It might be an idea such as, “Be careful what you wish for.” There may also be more than one theme in a story.
To start finding the theme, first you need to make sure you’ve read the whole text. Characters change throughout the story, so what you might think is the theme in the beginning might not be true at the end!
After you read the text, summarize the plot. What important events happened during the story? What was the problem? How was the problem solved? How did the character(s) change? What did the character(s) learn?
Use the answers from those questions to see if you can recognize a pattern (模式). Did a lot of the plot revolve (围绕) around friendship? Did many characters solve problems with their families? Did hard work pay off for the main character? Did the main character learn the importance of fairness?
Once you’ve discovered what the big idea is, go through the text to find evidence that supports this idea throughout the whole text. If there was only one small problem with a character’s family, then ‘family’ might not be the theme of the text. You might find more evidence for friendship or bravery.
Now you are ready to find the theme of books, passages, and poems! Read them now and see if you can discover what the theme is exactly.
【1】What do we know from the passage?
A.The theme is often written out in the words.
B.There are usually more than one theme in a story.
C.We need to read the whole text before we decide the theme.
D.We have to find evidence before we recognize the big idea.
【2】The word “plot” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.events in the story
B.a drawn plan
C.a piece of land
D.a secret plan
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A.What the theme of a text is.
B.How to find the theme of a text.
C.Why to know the theme of a text.
D.Where evidence lies in a text.
28、 In modern-day society having a smartphone is considered normal, even essential. Most teens can’t imagine living without a mobile, yet I still don’t own one. Why? Because my mother does not consider it n【1】. This may seem unreasonable to many, but sometimes I agree with her. Of course, I experience the downside often enough. I feel a bit left out, when everybody in class talks about a post they saw the other day. Very often I feel embarrassed when I must e【2】 why I can’t be part of online groups.
During lessons our teachers like working with mobile phones. I do have a Nokia phone though, and I phone my father who works a【3】 nearly every day. I’ve grown up without constantly messaging someone or posting something and sometimes even going weeks without a mobile! I do feel angry that people are always telling me they have p【4】 on me because I don’t own one.
Being an outsider in this world of technology, I sometimes feel I’m the only one that notices the c【5】 in people when they get a smartphone. I’ve been to many birthday parties where everyone spends more time on their phone than talking to one another and I’ve seen my friends completely stuck in their online world. It makes me sad that so many people lose themselves in a world that doesn’t e【6】 and ignore the people around them.
I enjoy the freedom I get from not being available all day long and I feel able to spend most of my free time reading or doing s【7】 interesting. Maybe one day I will get a smartphone, but I am not going to be unhappy because I don’t own one. So trust me, when people say that it’s better to have a smartphone, they’re wrong!
29、When my twin sons, Chad and Brad, were born, I was worried about everything. Five years later, our little girl, Becky, _______ our family. I wanted everybody to be _______ and happy. I worked hard to see that they were.
As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other _______ childhood illnesses. I didn’t like it when the boys spent time “warming the bench(板凳)” during Little League football games. I worried about Becky when she _______ the ball while playing baseball. Before long, the children were in their teens. I stayed _______ late the night waiting for the boys to return home. Many times the _______ that I would call the police crossed my mind if they weren’t home on time. Luckily, they always arrived home safe and sound before I had to do that.
The day the boys moved away to college was a sad day indeed. I worried about their being able to take care of themselves. A few months after the boys left college, our _______ rang in the middle of the night. It startled(惊醒)us when we looked at the clock. It was 3 o’clock in the morning. “_______ must be wrong,” I shouted to my husband, Roy, as we both jumped up.We ran to the door, opened it, and there _______ a police officer.
“You need to __________ your sons,” he seriously announced. I picked up the telephone, but unfortunately, it was __________. A line outside had been accidentally cut. Roy and I jumped into the car and __________ to the nearest telephone. My stomach ached. My husband was __________ so badly that he could hardly dial the number.
On the first __________, Chad answered the telephone. “What’s wrong?” Roy shouted into the receiver.
“We were worried about you,” Chad told him. “We’ve been trying to call you all night, but you didn’t answer. We called the police and asked them to go and __________ you.”
For the first time in their lives, the boys were worried about us. And they were the ones who actually had to call the police.
