Some people believe that dreams can tell them what will happen in the future. Nobody
knows why, but there are many stories about people who have had dreams that came true. One
of these people was a man called John Chapman, who lived in the small town of Swaffham in
England. He dreamed that he was standing on London Bridge and a man told him how to
become rich. John Chapman was a poor man and he needed money, so the next day he set off
for London. He walked for three days and three nights and at last arrived at London Bridge.
There were plenty of people on the bridge, but they were not interested in him. They
all ignored him. After three days, he decided to go home, but before he could do this a
shopkeeper approached him.
“I’ve been watching you,” the shopkeeper said. “Are you waiting for someone?”
“Yes,” said John. “I had a dream about a man on London Bridge. He was going to lead
me to a lot of money.”
“Oh,” said the shopkeeper. “You shouldn’t believe in dreams. If I believed in dreams, I’d
be in Swaffham right now. I had a dream a few days ago about a man from Swaffham. His
name was John Chapman and he had gold in his garden near an old apple tree.”
John was amazed and immediately headed for home. As soon as he arrived, he dug in
his garden near the old apple tree. He soon found many pieces of gold. He was so delighted
that he gave some of the gold to his local church. He was a rich man for the rest of his life.

colonies(殖民地) into states.
In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men attended
college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek,
and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach 81
that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers
or teachers.
In 1782, Harvard started a 82 school for young men who wanted to become
doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, Harvard
began teaching modern 83 , such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek.
Soon it began teaching American history.
As knowledge 84 , Harvard and the other colleges began to teach many new
subjects. No one student could learn all the subjects that were taught. Students were allowed to
choose the subjects that interested them.
Special colleges for women were started. New state universities began to teach such
subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of
colleges and universities. Most are divided into smaller schools that 85 special fields of
learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements,
he was thought to be more creative than the average person. When he was asked w 86 he
was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an e 87 with his mother when he
was about two years old. “I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost
the bottle and it fell, spilling the milk all over the floor-----a sea of milk! I was f 88 and
I didn’t know what to do!” he said.
His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. “I was considering how to e
89 all this to her,” he said. Instead of punishing(惩罚) him, she said, “Robert, what a
great mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge sea of milk before! Well, since
the milk has a 90 been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while? We can clean
it up after that.”
Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you
make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up.” He used a sponge (海绵) and together
they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said,“You know, we failed in how to successfully carry a big milk
bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the
bottle with water to see if you can f 91 a way to carry it.” Then the little
boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both
hands, he could carry it w 92 dropping it.
What a wonderful lesson!
D. Answer the following questions.（根据短文内容回答下列问题。) ( 12分)
Working together
Some animals can be trained to help humans. For example, specially trained dogs help
blind people walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too.
They can learn how to help people who can’t use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the
phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework.
In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting
examples where they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to
find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs – a type of insect that lives inside a beehive（蜂窝）．教育资源分享店铺

It knows how to find beehives but it can’t open them and get the grubs. People like to eat
honey, but they aren’t very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each
other. The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and
take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins（海豚） work as a team. The
ocean isn’t very clean, so the fishermen can’t see the fish. However, dolphins can find them
easily by using sounds. When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell
the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish toward the beach. The fishermen wait in the
water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fishermen’s nets make it easier
for the dolphins to catch fish too. In Laguna, fishermen and dolphins have been working
together for many years. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins.
The dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the
humans!

When I was about 12 years old, I had an enemy. A girl liked to tell me about my
shortcomings (缺点): I was very short; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too
proud, and so on. I would become very angry and run to my father with tears (眼泪) in my
eyes.
One bad day, he was listening to me quietly, and asked: “Are the things that she said true
or not? Now you have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything that she said and
mark those that are true. Pay no attention to the other things.”
I made the list and found that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t
change, like being very short, but a good number of them I could. For the first time, I could
see myself clearly.
I brought the list back to my father. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know yourself
better than anyone else, but sometimes others’ opinions are also important. Don’t close your
ears in anger (生气). There are many people in the world who think that they know you.
Listen to all of them, but hear only the truth and do what you think is right.”
I have never had a better piece of advice in my whole life.
