He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family's cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch(鱸魚)with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(魚餌)and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.
When his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a perch . The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish. Then the father lit a match(火柴) and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.--- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
"You'll have to put it back, son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
"There will be other fish," said his father.
"Not as big as this one," cried the boy.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could know everything by his father's clear voice that the decision could not be changed. He slowly worked the hook(鉤) out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.
The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father's cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
He was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish---again and again---every time he comes up against a question of ethics(道德規(guī)范).
小題1:When did the story happen?
A.Early morningB.Late afternoonC.Late nightD.In the bass season
小題2: Why did the father ask his son to put the perch back?
A.Because the father disliked the perch.
B.Because the father was afraid of being fined.
C.Because the ethics must be observed.
D.Because the son was more experience in fishing than his father.
小題3:When does the architect (the father’s son) think of that perch put back?
A.When he takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
B.When he builds many famous buildings.
C.When he pays a visit to his old father.
D.When he faces some problems about ethics.
小題4:Which word can not be used to describe the boy’s father?
A.honestB.unselfishC.seriousD.generous
小題5:From the passage, we can learn _________.
A.how we can get the handsome fish
B.how we master some skills of going fishing
C.how we understand our parents’ words is very important
D.how we do things in good and right ways.

Do you know how to write an English letter?
When we write a letter in Chinese, we always put the date at the end of the letter. But it is different in English. We have to put it on the top of the right corner. And above the date, we also write the number of our house and the names of our street, city and country. To begin the letter, we always use words like “Dear sir” “Dear Mr /Miss/ Mrs…”.To the end of the letter, we usually use words like “Yours” “Yours ever” or “Truly yours”.
It is also different to write an English envelope. If you write to an Australian friend named Jane Shute, write your name and address on the top of the left corner and write hers in the middle.

“Memorize (記住) these words.” “Learn this spelling rule.” “Don’t forget about the exam tomorrow.” You remember things every day, but how do you do it?
When you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term (短暫的) memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about half a minute. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it. This information is in your long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years. The major reason for forgetting something is because you do not learn it well at the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and right away you forget their names. You hear the names but you do not learn them, so you forget them.
