A

Lily and Lisa were best friends. They were always together. But things changed one day. That day Lisa was sent to sit beside another girl called Alice. They soon laughed happily together.

The next day, when Lily went to Lisa’s house, she saw Lisa and Alice laughing and playing happily together. Lisa was playing so happily then that she didn’t even notice Lily when she arrived. Lily felt very depressed and went home. She thought Lisa had changed and was afraid she’d leave her. She didn’t want to lose her best friend. Thinking she might lose her one day, she couldn’t help crying.

Just then, Lily’s mother came back. Seeing she was crying, her mother asked her why. Lily told her everything. After hearing what she said, her mother couldn’t help laughing. She said, “Don’t be sad. You should be happy.” Lily was confused. She didn’t understand why she should be happy. Her mother explained, “Now, Lisa has a new friend. And you’re friends with Lisa. It means that you have a new friend, too. Just make friends with Alice, too.”

Hearing that, Lily stopped feeling sad. She liked the idea of having one more friend. So the next day, when Lily saw Lisa and Alice playing in the classroom, she happily went to them and joined them. The three quickly became good friends.

Dear Editor (编辑) Buddy,

On my way to work every morning I drive by a farm where I can see some horses off the woods. They are there every morning no matter how cold or rainy or windy it is. There is a shed (牲口棚) on the farm, but it doesn’t seem that the horses are ever taken into the shed. Is this right? I don’t think horses should be treated(对待) like that.

Sam

Dear Sam,

Thanks for taking an interest in those horses. The care of horses is different from that of cats and dogs. Think of wild horses that spend their whole lives outdoors finding food and shelter(遮蔽) on their own. The point is that horses don’t require as much shelter as other farm animals. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t need shelter.

It is hard to tell from your letter whether the situation for those horses is unacceptable. Do you know the people who own the horses well enough to just talk to them? Maybe they will tell you that the horses do go in the shed at night. If direct contact (联系) is not a choice and you can see that the horses’ situation is poor, then call 911 and report it.

If you just can’t see enough to prove such a report, call the Oswego County Humane Society at 207-1070 for help from the Large Animal Assistance Project (LAAP). A volunteer from the project will help solve the problem.

Speaking of volunteers, since you appear to be a horse lover, why not talk to the LAAP about volunteer opportunities for yourself? The project always needs knowledgeable horse people to help.

A famous professor (教授) did a study in a primary school. At the beginning of the school year, teachers were given the names of five children. The teachers were told that these students were the best students in the class while the fact was that these students were only average(中等的). But by the end of the year these five average students scored the highest in the class.

What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in the teachers’ attitudes (态度). Since the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. So these five average students began to expect more from themselves.

You know, if you expect the best from others, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”

It reminds me of another story of 7-year-old Johnny. His teacher got so tired of him. One day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest (最淘气的) boy in this class!” The next year Johnny had a different teacher. The new teacher said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you. But I don’t believe a word of it.” Johnny’s new teacher treated him as if he was one of the smartest, best-behaved students. Well, you guessed it. After just a few months, Johnny became one of the top students in that class. Later on he became a great leader.

Therefore, it’s the power of our love, belief, and encouraging attitude towards our children that matter.

9. The five average students became top students mainly because of________. A. the professor’s help

B. the teachers’ confidence in them

C. the change in their teachers’ attitudes towards them D. the change in their attitudes towards their teachers 10. Why does the author mention the story of Johnny? A. To show how to make a top student. B. To show how successful Johnny was.

C. To show the importance of encouragement.

D. To tell the difference between Johnny’s two teachers. 11. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Expect the best B. The power of love

C. How to take right attitudes D. Encouragement brings success

D

“Farm to table” is the name of a movement that encourages people to eat

locally grown food. The farm-to-table idea has become more popular in recent years. But there is also a movement that brings “table to farm”. Its purpose is to connect people to the land and to honor local farmers by creating a sort of restaurant without walls.
