Several months ago， my husband and I were on an island for a long weekend with our five-year-old twin daughters. As we went back and forth about what to do next， our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum，” said Emily and Hanna.

As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum， we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flapped their colorful wings.

My girls were jumping up and down， and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun.

I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious (好奇的)， and asked， “How long do butterflies live?”

She said： “About ten days.”

“What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked.

The guide stopped， looked at me， and said， “They make the world a more beautiful place.”

“Wow，” I said， “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you.”

After we said goodbye， I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day， we can make a difference.

Appreciate (欣賞) the impact you can have on your family， friends， co-workers and neighbors. Like a butterfly， you have your own way of making the world more beautiful for everyone.

Children should be allowed to get angry. I remember many years ago, when I was visiting my sister in Australia, and I told my oldest son that he wasn’t allowed to do something he really wanted to do. He thought about it for a minute and said, “Mom, I’m very angry with you.” I replied, “That’s OK, darling, it’s what you do with your anger.” I then asked him if he wanted to talk to me about it but he was too angry to talk to me. Then he stormed off(憤然離開).

My sister looked at me surprisingly. Now she has a son the same age as mine and she said angrily, “How can you allow your child to be angry with you? If my son learns that from you, I will never forgive you.”

Then it was hard for me to stay with her, I ended up leaving earlier. Why shouldn’t my son have the right(權(quán)利) to tell me when I have made him angry? If he can’t tell me then how can he tell others in his life?

Children need to be able to express how they feel. We need to teach them ways to do this in a right way instead of saying nothing. I want them to tell me. Bottling up anger is not healthy for anyone and usually makes things worse.

1.What should children be allowed to do according to the passage?

A. Fight. B. Get angry.

C. Drink wine. D. be rude to their parents.

2.How did the writer’s sister feel when she saw the son was angry with his mother?

A. Happy. B. Sad. C. Pleased. D. Surprised.

3.Why did the writer end up leaving earlier when visiting her sister?

A. Because her sister was angry with her and she felt it hard to stay there.

B. Because she had a meeting later.

C. Because her son was angry with her and left.

D. Because her sister asked her to leave.

4.The underlined words “Bottling up” means __________ in Chinese.

A.瓶子 B.裝滿瓶子

C.強(qiáng)忍著不說 D.打碎瓶子

5.What’s TRUE according to the passage?

A. Children can’t be angry with their parents.

B. Children shouldn’t be able to express how they feel.

C. Bottling up anger is not healthy for anyone.

D. We shouldn’t allow students to be angry with us.

Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves.

There was one thief who worked in a bank of the United States. He paid for everything he needed by check. Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank’s computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer’s work. They soon found out what was happening.

Another thief， who worked for a bank saw customers( 顧客）filling in deposit forms (存款單). Many of these people did not know their account numbers， so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left empty places for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account number in this place. When the computer read these forms， it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers’ names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief’s account.

Also there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every customer’s account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank’s customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every month. But then someone did notice and told the bank. That was the end of that little game!

1.What was the first thief?（不超過5個(gè)字）

2.How did the last thief steal money from the bank?(不超過25個(gè)字）

3.What did many customers only write on the deposit forms ?（不超過5個(gè)字）
