1、 There is a tradition at my school that when Changsha High School Entrance Examination is less than a month away, students in the lower grades, from Grade 7 to Grade 8, all gather together on the ground in front of the teaching building and cheer on the Grade 9 students who are standing upstairs.1. It wasn’t until I took part in the activity in person that I understood the true meaning of it.
2. 那时我上7年级。On that special night, all the Grade 9 students stood in the hallways and looked down at the younger students below. Various cheers started to resound throughout the school, wave after wave. “Believe in yourself! You will succeed!”
Seeing everyone’s smiling face around us,3.我们想起了一句著名的格言。It’s from the American philosopher (哲学家) Henry David Thoreau, 4.“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”
Soon it will be my turn to receive blessing in this way.5. That also means we will have to say goodbye to our school. Although it will be sad, being cheered on by so many students will still be one of the brightest time of my life.

24、 I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"
Both my wife and I were out of work. However;I said, "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.
A petting zoo is made up of hundreds of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场)pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.
A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.
She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭), which is "Love is Action!"
I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become art of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love is Action", it's "Love is SACRIFICIAL(牺牲的)Action!" Love always pays a price.
I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin(下巴)resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

26、 June 18 is the birthday of my late sister, Tanya. She would have been 49 years old this year, but that's increasingly difficult for me to imagine. She is frozen in time at 37.
Tanya died more than ten years ago and the wound left by her loss has healed into a scar(疤痕). It's a big scar. You can't know me for very long without discovering my scar. Trust me; if you haven't found it on your own I will point it out to you. I want you all to know that she was still here, and that she mattered.
When we first lose a loved one, we ask, “How will I live without you?' and wounds are open and weeping. We don't know how we'll deal with the pain. But then the wounds form scars, and we learn to live with our new skins.“How can I remember you?” we ask.
So many people don't want to talk about my sister. It is as though mentioning her will remind me that she is dead, and upset my balance when I am so stable and happy. But I never forget my sister, not for a moment.
And so I love it when people mention Tanya's name. Sometimes, I come across one of her friends, and they casually bring up a memory, and it is like a gift.
So if you have friends who have lost loved ones, please don't avoid talking about their loved one. You won't remind them of their loss, because it is always there. They haven't forgotten their scar. They just don't point it out to you.
Instead, try to reassure(使安心) them their loved one is not forgotten. Ask questions about the dead person’s life. Keep them alive in the only way you can after a person is gone, with your words and your memories.
I love hearing from friends on my sister's birthday. It makes her present, despite her absence.It reminds us all that she was here. She walked this earth. She was love, and she mattered. And on June 18, I embrace my scar.
【1】What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The death of the author's sister. B.The author's sister's birthday.
C.The “scar” in the author's heart. D.The author's love for her sister.
【2】How does the author feel when people mention her sister?
A.She becomes sad about it. B.She worries that she must defend her sister.
C.She doesn't know how to deal with it. D.She is happy to be reminded of her sister.
【3】What does the author advise us to do when talking to those who lost loved ones?
A.Avoid talking about the person who died. B.Keep them staying with you as long as you can.
C.Help them to forget their painful scars. D.Talk with them about the person who died.

It is said that the eyes are “the windows of our soul”. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.
Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.
A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.
You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.
We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.
Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
