Love is more powerful
Many years ago, my dad decided to volunteer at the local children hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the
perfect job for him. He would talk to them and play with them and do arts and crafts with them.
There was a girl, Karen, who had been admitted with a rare disease that paralyzed(使麻痹，使瘫痪) her from
the neck down. I don’t know the name of the disease, but I do know that it was very sad for a girl around eight or
nine years old. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed（沮丧的）. My dad decided to try to help
her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up against a backing,
put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. Only his head would move. He
would visit her whenever he could and paint for her. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you
set your mind to.”
At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the
little girl was discharged（允许出院） because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. Mydad also left the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had
recovered and returned to work, he was at the volunteer counter in the lobby（门厅） of the hospital. He noticed
the front doors open. In came Karen, only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged
him really tight. She gave my dad a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for
helping me walk”.
My dad would cry every time he told us this story. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than
doctors, and my dad who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture --loved every single child
in that hospital.

Mr. Swales wanted to find out what his students’ parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls burst
out laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbage man(垃圾清理工)!”
Everybody in the class laughed out loud, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.
“Silence!” Mr. Swales said, “Being a garbage man is a difficult and useful job. We should all be grateful to
Jodie’s father.”
,
Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual but she didn’t run up to him the way she
always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.
Her father came into her room, “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?”
Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn’t seem angry or hurt. “Well,” he said,
“they are right. Being a garbage man is a dirty job. Tomorrow is Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie.”
The place really smelt too bad. Jodie wrinkled her nose. “Don’t worry, kid. In five minutes you won’t smell a
thing.” said her father.
Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of
gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.,
It was fun but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie
felt very happy.
“Garbage is disgusting(令人厌恶的), but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make
yourself happy only by making other happy. That’s why I like being a garbage man so much.”
Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbage man daddy a big kiss(吻). She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbage-
girl!”
Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbage man! Everybody makes
garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know
how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test.” he said. “And because I know you are all able to
understand these questions. I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.’’
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest
students and said. “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. ”Two more students decided to go.
Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper：
Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should
give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing
because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons whether from schooleducation or from events in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80%
of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have
some limits(局限). However, there is nothing you can’t do or learn to be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to
reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰)said, “We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves.”
30. Some students left the classroom because_____ .
A. they knew the teacher didn’t like them to take the test
B. they were allowed to take another easier exam later on

For over 100 years, it is convenient for people to go from one place to another by taxi. But sometimes there
are no taxis coming to the place you are waiting. However, this has become a thing of the past since Uber app
appeared.
What is Uber
Uber is an American company that provides a taxi service through an app on the smartphone. It was set up in
March, 2009 and has grown quickly. An app, in fact, is a computer program working on smartphone, computers and
other communication devices. By using your smartphone, you can easily and quickly order a taxi that takes you to
the place you want to go to.
Uber app makes you feel good
The nicest thing about Uber app is that you can see where your taxi is or how long it will take to reach you on
your smartphone screen. And you can also find the telephone number of the driver in Uber app, so you can call or
send messages to the driver when you are waiting.Uber taxis are always available
Uber is always there 24 hours a days, 365 days a year. If you want to go somewhere, you can easily open Uber
app at home or anywhere in the open air, then it connects you to the nearest driver.
Usually it takes only between 5 and 15 minutes to get a Uber taxi by using Uber app.
The advantages of Uber
Uber is popular because it is simple and very user-friendly. You have nothing to do with a taxi company. If you
are not pleased with the ride and the driver, you can give the driver a low score through Uber app, so Uber taxi
drivers usually serve well. Generally speaking, Uber is simple, time-saving, and above all, very easy.
The cost of a Uber taxi
At Uber, the payment is easy through your bank card. How much you need to pay depends on the country and
the city that you are in. it is sure that Uber taxis are much cheaper than the taxis you used to take.
