A long time ago, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him. Thus, feeling inferior(低等的),the seed gave no importance to his existence(存在).
Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. Later, he was given rain.
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side.“Thank God for this. I really need some rest,”he heard the traveler say.
“What are you talking about?”the seed quickly asked. He thought the man was making fun of him. No one ever spoke to him like that.
“Who just spoke?”the shocked man asked.
“It is me. A seed.”
“A seed?”The man looked at the big tree.“Are you joking? You are not a seed. You are a big tree!”
“Really?”
“Yes! Why else do you think people come here?”
“What do they come here for?”
“To feel your shade(树荫)! Don’t tell me you didn’t know you had grown over time.”
A moment passed before the traveler’s words brought him pride.
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life. The years of torture(折磨) by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up.[来源:

When I was 15, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my short-comings(缺点). Week by week her list grew. I was skinny(瘦的), I talked too loud, I was too proud, and so on. I put up with(忍受)her as long as I could. At last, I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to my outburst quietly. They he asked, “Are the things she says the true or not?”True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?[来源:
“Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. ”Go and make a list of every thing she said and mark the points that are true. You needn’t pay attention to the other things she said.
I did as he told me and discovered to my surprise that about half the things are true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the time in my life I began to get a quiet clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy, but he wouldn’t take it.“That’s just for you,”he said.“You know better than any else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you’ve got to learn to listen, not close your ears in anger or hurt. When someone says something about you, you’ll know if it’s true or not. If it is ,you’ll find it will echo(共鸣)inside you.”
“I still don’t think it very nice of her to talk about me in front of everybody.”
“Mary, there is one way you could stop others talking about you ever again, and criticizing(批评) you—just say nothing and do nothing. But then, if you do that, you’d find you were nothing. You wouldn’t like that now, would you?”
“No, I admitted(承认)”
60. One day the writer ran to her father in tears and anger because__________.
A. she found she talked too much. B. she found she was too proud.
C. her classmates were not friendly to her. D. a girl pointed out many of her shortcomings.

B. not to pay attention to what her“enemy”said about her.
C. to pay attention only to the points that were true about her.

Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.
64. The underlined sentence “Everyone gets sick of hearing”in the first paragraph means“________”.
A. there is something wrong with everyone’s ears
B. all people fall ill when they hear something
C. many people don’t pay attention to wearing seat belts
D. none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice
65. More than two-third of 1,627 children were killed because ___________.
A. they weren’t using seat belts B. they were too careful when they walked on the road
C. they were not old enough to sit in the car D. they wore seat belts
66. You must get your children to put on seat belts in order to ________.
A. keep them comfortable in the car seat
B. keep them safe
C. keep them awake in the car all the time
D. prevent all kinds of traffic accid
