Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.

"I don't sing," said the man.

But the lady told the waiter, "I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!"

The waiter shouted across the room, "Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!"

So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!

He had talent(天賦) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.

Can you imagine a world without the Internet? It’s surprising to think about it.

Now, China has more than 162 million Internet users, according to the China Internet Network Information Centre. This is the second highest number of user in the world after the United States. Today, 66%of Chinese “netizens （網民）” are teenagers. “They spend about thirteen hours every week online,” said Qian Hulin, an Internet expert(專家). Doctor Song in Beijing Xuanwu Hospital said about 14% of Chinese netizens who are teens often lasted over ten hours to play online games.

The main reasons why teenagers surf the Web are to search for information, to communicate with others and to have fun. On the Internet, teenagers can find out almost anything. And surfing the Web can help students with their homework and widen their knowledge.

Li Dong, a teacher at No. 41 Middle School in Shijiazhuang, likes her students to use the Internet. “When we talk in class, students who surf the Net usually know more background information than the others,” she said.

In addition, people can use the Internet to write letters or stories and send e-mails. Many teens keep in touch with their friends online. It is cheaper than phoning somebody far away and also much quicker.

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(資源). Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river running through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.

Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeastern Asia. The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil（巴西）. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles up it.

Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun. In order to increase the supply(供給) of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大壩)across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.

However, large cities and industries that are located on rivers often cause problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of these natural resources.

1.The greatest river for navigation is ________________.

2.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

3.When rivers are dammed, people use the water for __________.

4.Most water in rivers is polluted with ___________.

5.The best title for the passage is _____________.

A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clean plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to schoo1．For every person they didn’t want to forgive in their lives，they were told to choose a potato，write on it the name and the date，and put it in the bag．Some of their bags were very heavy.

They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week．They would put it beside their bed at night，on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus，and next to their desk at schoo1．

Days of carrying the bags around with them got the students to get to know what a weight they were carrying in their hands．And they had to pay attention to it all the time (1)__________they didn’t forget it．(2)As time passed by，the potatoes went bad and smelt very terrible．

Too often we think of tolerance(容忍)as a gift to other people，and it clearly is for ourselves! Sometimes we choose to keep our sadness in our hearts，we have to carry them around all our lives．If everyone learns to forgive，our world will become a better one．
