牛津深圳版英语九上Module 4 Unit 7 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer单元测试
A lesson in “heart” is my little 10-year-old daughter, Sarah, who was born with a muscle(肌肉)missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home on a beautiful spring day to tell me she had competed in “field day” 一 that's where they have lots of races and other competitive events.
Because of her leg support, my mind raced as I tried to think of words of encouragement for my Sarah, things I could say to her about not letting this get her down-things I have heard many famous coaches tell the players when they were faced with defeat(失败)—but before I could get a word out, she looked up and said, “Daddy, I won two of the races.”
I couldn't believe it! Then Sarah said. “I had an advantage.”
Ah. I knew it. I thought she must have been given a head start……some kind of physical advantage. But again, before I could say anything, she said, “Daddy, I didn't get a head start…My advantage was I had to try harder!”
Remember we used to see many fireflies(萤火虫) shining in the grass on summer evenings? Now we are lucky if we see one. Fireflies have become fewer and fewer all over the world because the lights at night keep them away and because there is too little land for them to live on. To bring these little flying friends back into our lives, we can: 1. Keep the grass taller and grow more plants. Fireflies like to live over tall grass or near the high points of plants. 2. Leave dry leaves or dead plants in the garden. Small animals like slugs, snails, and worms live under them. They are fireflies' favorite food. 3. Turn off lights in the garden or by the window. When it is too bright, fireflies don't know if the light is from other fireflies or from lamps. So it is difficult for them to find each other. 4. Build a pond in the yard and keep the water clean. Fireflies like to live around clean water. Let us know if you have any questions. The National Science Center: 123-4567.
