Once upon a time ， a poor family had only one small roll of expensive gold wrapping (包装)paper. The father had no money to buy any more. On Christmas Eve his 5-year-old daughter decorated (装饰)a shoe box with all the gold paper and put it under the Christmas tree. The father was quite unhappy about it.
The next morning the little girl ， filled with excitement ， brought the gift box to her father and said ， "This is for you ， Daddy ！"
As he opened the box, the father found it was empty. At once he shouted at her, "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present, there should be something inside the package ！"
The little girl almost cried out. She looked up at him and said ，" Daddy ， it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."
The father was moved. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his pretty little girl. He asked her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
Before long an accident took the life of the child. The father kept that little golden box by his bed for the following years of his life. Whenever he was faced with difficult problems, he would open the box, take out an imaginary(想像的)kiss and remember the love of his beautiful child who had put it there.
In a very real sense ， each of us, as a human being ， has been given an invisible (隐形的)gold box filled with true love and kisses from our children, parents and friends. There is no more valuable thing than this.

Very soon you are going to change from a junior high school student to a senior high school student. You will experience a new school life. Then how should you work in senior high school? Here is some advice for your new term.
Plan ahead. Get a wall calendar(日程表).Mark the dates of important events such as tests. Set your own goals and follow them. When your calendar starts to fill,learn to say "no" to other activities until you have reached your goal.
Stay ahead. Try not to fall behind. If you feel that you've fallen behind and started to feel worried ,let your teachers know. It's better to get help early than to wait, thinking you can face the final exams. Almost everyone is struggling with a special subject or class. If you have trouble with a special subject or homework project, ask your teacher for help after class. Taking a few minutes to solve the problem right away can save time ， and if your teacher knows that you' re struggling with something ， he or she is likely to be more understanding of the situation.
Listen up. Paying attention in class can actually help a lot. Sure, it's often easier said than done ， but listening actively can make you understand better what you are learning.
Take notes. Taking notes during classes can make recalling(回忆)information easier. If you take notes and review them before class or while studying for an exam ， you can ask a teacher to go over anything you don't understand. It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class.
Have a good attitude(态度)to tests. Tests may show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. So don't be too worried if you don't pass a test. The world won't end.
37. Which of the following is the writer's suggestion about your plan?
A. You shouldn't give up other activities at any time.
B. You shouldn't let other activities affect your plans.
C. You shouldn't forget the dates of important events.
D. You shouldn't care too much about your wall calendar.
38. Why does the writer think it necessary to ask teachers for help in time?
A. It can help you save face. B. It can help you save money.
C. It can help you save time. D. It can help you save punishments.
39. From the passage we can learn that .
A. notes will help you remember what you learn
B. listening actively will improve your hearing
C. struggling will make your school life colorful
D. tests will decide if you can go on with the subject

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish (珍惜)it like it is the most valuable thing in the world.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes. That is only natural ： most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and that we should try to avoid(避免)mistakes. We’ve been blamed when we make mistakes―at home, school and work.
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow.
If you think about it that way ， mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world ： they make learning possible ， and they make growth and improvement possible.
Think about how you learn ： you don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming. ..and know how to do them right away.
Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from ano
