“Mummy, I don’t like you,” my three-year-old daughter said.

That night, as I washed my face, I looked for a little longer time in the mirror — not because I
was hurt by my daughter’s 1 , but because I noticed there was no light in my eyes.

As we know, China is a great country with a long history. During the time, lots of great heroes appeared and
changed the world. Now let’s learn some information about them.
Confucius（551 BC—479 BC） was a teacher, politician（政治家） and
philosopher of Chinese history. He traveled a lot and formed his thoughts. He thought
the elders should be respected by their children. One of his sayings is “Do not do to

A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl
reads a rejection letter from a ballet school. “You have the wrong body for ballet,” it says, “and at
thirteen, you are too old.” This was one of the most popular advertisements of 2014 and it describes
American Ballet Theatre’s principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While
many dancers start at the age of three, Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-
old girl. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn’t have the perfect body type (She is only
157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But
Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and
spent time with her family only at the weekend.
This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was
fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets
over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo performer and danced alone on the stage. In 2015
she became its principal dancer.
Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A
Ballerina’s Tale. So what’s next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: “My career really is just
now beginning.”
1. How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?
A. 13. B. 14. C. 25. D. 33.
2. Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?
A. Because her family moved a lot.
B. Because she was too old.
C. Because she lived far away from the school.
D. Because she had the wrong body type.

A. difficult B. alone C. funny D. bad
4. What does the writer think of Copeland?
A. Copeland sets an example who never gives up.

C. Copeland has made her achievements by accident.
D. Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.

It is good to know that your parents will provide you a shoulder to cry on when you meet
setbacks (挫折). Would it still be welcome if your mother gave up her job in order to be closer to you
all the time?
Many parents in China have chosen to do so. They stay home to cook healthy food and help
children with their homework, reported 21st Century Business Herald and some even rent a small room
near their children’s school to save their time. Such parents have got the nickname of “helicopter
parents”, which means they always closely hover around their children.
“This is harmful to their children as they will not be able to learn self-dependence,” said Chicago
family expert Danielle Sines.
However, parents have their own reasons. “Most students in China are only children, and so
学科网（北京）股份有限公司parents are willing to do everything to help them stand out among the fierce (激烈的) competition,” said
China Youth Daily.
This June, Liu Lu began her last year in high school in Hebei. Her mother rented a small room
near her school so that she could do the washing and cooking for her. “I’ll have to be there for my
children as she is making that last push for college. What I do will save her a lot of time so she can
better prepare for the national college entrance exam. It’s worth it.” Her mother told the reporter. In
fact, schools in Northeastern states in the USA, such as Connecticut and New York, have the same trend
(趋势). In September, students moved into their dormitories but many had some extra equipment (装备):
their parents.
However, students are still advised to face new challenges standing on their own two feet.
1. The underlined expression “hover around” in Para.2 probably means __________.
A. deal with B. pick up C. look after D. turn to
2. Why did Liu Lu’s mother rent a room near her school?
A. To take care of her. B. To help her with her study.
C. To make sure she studies hard. D. To teach her to learn self-dependence.
3. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The study of “helicopter parents” in America
B. The parenting style— “helicopter parents”in China
C. The relationship between parents and children in America.
D. The importance of children’s self-dependence in China.
4. You can probably find the passage in __________.
A. a guide book B. a newspaper C. a novel D. a story
D
“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that
will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy (列夫·托尔斯泰), the famous Russian writer,
many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult
questions.
As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he
worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in
success. In 1850s, he wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories
about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy.
Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon
Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions
about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life.
He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These
学科网（北京）股份有限公司workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the
rich people he knew.
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their
families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo
Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his
most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina (《安娜·卡列尼娜》). Many experts say that
War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans
should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and
bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many
people all over the world.
