Every Saturday, Grandpa and I walk to the nursing home to visit some of the old and sick people there because they can’t take care of themselves.

First we visit Mrs. Sokol. I call her “The Cook.” She likes to talk about the time when she was a well-known cook in Russia. People would come from miles, just to taste her chicken soup.

Next we visit Mr. Lipman. I call him “The Singer” because he loves to sing for us. Whenever he does, his voice fills the air, clear and full of energy.

I also enjoy Mrs. Kagan’s stories about her own experiences during the old days. I call her “The Memory Lady.”

One day Grandpa got very sick and the doctor said they didn’t think he would get better.

It was time to visit the nursing home again. I had to go alone. Everyone was surprised when I told them that my grandpa was ill and in hospital.

A few days later, Grandpa was not able to sit up, eat or even speak. I went to the corner of the room so Grandpa wouldn’t see me cry. Suddenly, I heard someone singing. I looked up. It was the Singer. Behind her were the Cook. and the Memory Lady. The Cook brought her famous homemade chicken soup. The Memory Lady held Grandpa’s hand and told us how Grandpa once came to visit her in a snowstorm, just to bring her some roses for her birthday.

Before I realized it, visiting hours were up. That evening, Grandpa called the nurse in and said he was hungry. Soon he began to sit up. Finally he was able to get out of bed. It is really a miracle (surprising event), isn’t it?

閱讀表達(dá) 請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下面問題，每題不超過5個詞。

Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失敗) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.

Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (責(zé)怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.

There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.

Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them.

1.What can failure become in fact?

________________________________________________________________________

2.How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children?

________________________________________________________________________

3.Who can always win according to the third paragrah?

_________________________________________________________________________

4.What should young people be allowed to experience?

_________________________________________________________________________

5.Who does failure hurt?

_________________________________________________________________________

Most people sleep at night, but Frank sleeps during the day and works at night. His work is to guard (看守) a large factory. He is lonely because nobody there talks with him in the evening.

Frank likes his work. He knows that it is important to guard the factory at night. If he hears any noise, he goes quickly to see what it is. Most of the time he walks around inside the big building, but he also walks around outside. When he is tired, he can sit on a chair by the door. It is very cold in winter. He always wears a warm coat when he is working.

One night when Frank went outside, he heard a noise near a dark corner of the factory. He went very quietly towards the noise to see if someone was there, but he only saw a small dog. Frank smiled and talked to the dog. It looked cold and sad. He took the dog inside the building, and the happy dog followed him around. During the rest of the night Frank was not lonely. A dog was a good friend for him.
