Joe was driving home one evening.Ever since the Levis factory closed,he’d been unemployed，and with winter raging on，the chill had finally hit home.Most of his friends had already left the Midwestern town,but he stayed on.After all,he was born here. It was getting dark and light snow was coming down.He almost didn’t see the old lady,but in the dim light of day,he could see she needed help.He pulled up in front of her car and got out. Even with a smile on his face,she was worried.Was he going to hurt her?He didn’t look safe；he looked poor and hungry.Joe knew how she felt and said to her,“I’m here to help you,ma’am.Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm.”She had a flat tire and Joe set about replacing it immediately.All this put the woman at ease.She then rolled down her window and began to talk to him，telling him that shewas from St.Louis and was only passing through.Then the thankful woman asked Joe how much she owed him.But Joe told her that he had been given a hand in the past and if she wished to pay him back,she could give the money to someone who needed her help next time. A few miles down the road the lady went into a small café.A waitress brought a cleantowel to wipe her wet hair.The waitress was nearly eight months pregnant,but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude.The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger.When the waitress came back to give the lady her change from a hundred dollar bill,she found a message on a napkin：“Take this.Someone once helped me out the way I’m helping you now.If you really want to pay me back，here’s what you can do. Don’t let the chain of love end with you.” That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed，the waitress was thinking about what the lady had written.How could the lady have known that she andher husband needed the money?With the baby due next month,it was going to be hard.Knowing how worried her husband was,she whispered soft and low to him，“Everything’s gonna be alright，I love you，Joe.” (1).

I will never forget what my old headmaster had taught me.Normally when you are only 15 years of age you do not remember most of the things that are preached by your teachers.But,this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget.Every time I drift off course,I get reminded of this story. It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly,and he was addressing the students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what was important to us.This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London,and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway.He would take the train right to Central London,and then sit at the street corner and beg.He did this every single day for almost 20 years. His house was filthy,and a horrible smell came out of it.The neighbors could not stand the smell any longer,so they summoned the police officers to clear the place.The officers knocked down the door,cleaned the house and found small bags of money all over the house.When they counted the money,they realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house in anticipation to share the good news with him.When he arrived home that evening,the old man was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was now a millionaire. The old man said nothing at all.He went into his house and locked the door.The next morning he woke up as usual,went to the subway,got into the train,and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.Obviously,this old man had no great plans,dreams or anything significant for his life.We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing. We should remain true to our course,which may mean committing ourselves to thingsthat people around us would normally disapprove.Let nothing distract us from being happy；let nothing else determine our fate,but ourselves.What makes us happy is what matters in the end,not what we acquire. (1). The sentence“I drift off course”might be replaced by. (A). I do not pass a course at school (B). I am determined to do something new (C). I fail to stick to what I have been doing (D). I come across difficulties in my studies 答案：C (2). According to the passage，the old man. (A). lived in Central London (B). came from a poor family (C). began begging as a child (D). begged in London every day 答案：D (3). When they waited for the old man,the police expected he would be. (A). pleased to see the clean house (B). glad to know that he was rich (C). angry with what they had done (D). grateful for what they did for him 答案：B (4). The old man is admired mainly because. (A). he stuck to what he did (B). he had a splendid dream (C). he was confident in himself (D). he had great plans for the future 答案：A (5).

I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.And it is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between their parents and themselves.They are always complaining，more or less justly,that their parents are out of touch with modern ways of life;that they are possessive and dominant；that they do not trust their children to deal with crises；that they talk too much about certain problems；and that they have no sense of humour,at least in parentchild relationships. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles and music,yet this is not their motive.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted.So they create a culture and society of their own.Then,if it turns out that their music or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents，they will only get additional enjoyment.They feel that they are superior,at least in a small way,and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes they are rebellious (叛逆的)and proud because they do not want their parents to approve of what they do.If their parents do approve，they feel they are betraying their own age group.But in that case，they are assuming that they are the loser：they can’t win but a
