My pet dog died recently. But before you feel too sorry for me or my dog, you should know that Matty
— we named her after the famous baseball player Christy “Matty” Mathewson — was about 17 years old.
She lived a long, happy life before she got so sick that we had to put her to sleep.
I have to say that when we first saw Matty, I did not want a pet. But Matty turned out (结果是) to be a
wonderful dog. Matty was a big part of our family life for years.
That’s a good lesson. Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you thought they would. They turn out
better. See if this sounds familiar (熟悉的) to you. You join a sports team. After some practice or games,
you find you don’t like the team as much as you thought you would. Maybe you don’t like the coach or the
other kids. Or perhaps you find out you’re not going to be the next LeBron James or Mia Hamm. You want
to give up, but your mum and dad say you have to at least finish the season. You don’t want to, but you stay
with the team. And, surprise: Things get better. You make a friend or make a few good plays. Maybe the
coach tells you you’re going to be a good player.
Most kids and adults (成年人) are pretty sure they know exactly what they want. For example, I was
positive years ago that I didn’t want a dog. But life is full of surprises. We change with time. That’s why
it’s important for us to try new foods, new hobbies and new sports
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1. We can learn from the first paragraph that Matty ________.
A. lived a hard life

2. Mia Hamm is probably a(n) ________.

3. The underlined word “positive” in the last paragraph means “________” in Chinese.

B. 庆幸的
C. 失望的
D. 肯定的
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Matty was an important part of the writer’s family.
B. The writer didn’t want Matty when he first saw her.
C. The writer learned a lesson from his pet dog.

Nicolas Come is a nine-year-old boy. He was a picky (挑剔的) eater. He especially disliked healthy
foods and wouldn’t go near most fruits and vegetables.
Nicolas’ dad, Stephane, tried to think of ways to get Nicolas and his younger brother to eat more
healthily. “I thought they would give more foods a chance if they grew the foods themselves,” says
Stephane. So the family started a garden in their yard. They planted strawberries, carrot s, tomatoes, lettuce,
potatoes, and many other fruits and vegetables. It worked. Nicolas learned to care for these foods and
started tasting them. “I discovered that I like them a lot!” says Nicolas.
At the same time, Nicolas found that many kids were eating unhealthy foods. One day in his family’s
garden, Nicolas came up with an idea of writing a book that would help other kids. His dad suggested a
smartphone app (应用程序). Nicolas liked the idea and decided to start his own business.
Nicolas’ parents helped him develop a business plan. A group of app makers joined Nicolas’ team. The
app (it’s free) was ready in May 2013. It helps children and families create meal plans with easy recipes (食
谱). Nicolas shows kids how to prepare healthy food through his app, his website, and YouTube videos.
Thousands of kids (and parents) are now his fans (迷), and newspapers and TV shows have shared Nicolas’
story.
Nicolas has plans to improve his app and wants to add games that let kids get “healthy” or
“unhealthy” points for food choices. He has also started putting “Nicolas’ Seal of Approval (正式认可)” on
restaurant menu items (项目). He explains, “It will help me and other kids find healthy, tasty foods in
restaurants.”
Nicolas likes hearing that other kids think his app is “very cool.” But what he likes most is, “I’m
helping other kids get healthier. That’s what I wanted to do.”
