A
David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister’s books to the library on his way to Jim’s house.
In his eyes, books and summertime just don’t go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he’d just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.
David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he’d be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked --- in a library.
David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn’t find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I’m locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.
He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn’t seem to be such a terrible thing.

Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly(蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle(挣扎;奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
61. From the story we know that the butterfly can’t fly because ________.
A. it gets out by itself B. the man feels sorry for it
C. it tries to challenge itself D. the man helps it come out
62. Dennis’s example shows that successful people should ________.
A. overcome the difficulties B. take up business early
C. become the leaders of tomorrow D. sell clothes from door to door
63. The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “________”.
A. wake up B. give up C. grow up D. bring up
. What is the writer trying to do in this passage?
A. Describe where a butterfly comes from. B. Encourage young people to face challenges.
C. Suggest how to become a successful businessman. D. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
65. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement
B. Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively
C. Countries Should Continue to Become Successful
D. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People

We had a discussion about whether we should be sent to school or not. We have two main ideas.
Some students think that it can save the students’ time if parents send them to school. And parents want to make sure the students are safe, especially when the weather is terrible.
However, our city is more and more crowded and polluted, so other students think going to school on foot or by bike is the best way . First of all, walking to school is a wonderful way to exercise and it’s good for our health. What’s more, if we walk,or ride a bike, There will be fewer cars in the city. More walking and less driving help make our city cleaner. The streets won’t be as crowded as they are now.
I hope more and more students will go to school on foot or by bike.下载本文
