C

    There was a park near my home,but I didn't go there often.Many people said there was nothing special there.One afternoon I went into the park.I walked quickly because there wasn't much to see.“Which way should I go? ”I asked myself I looked at one path(小路),then the other.I found that the two paths were different from each other.

    The left one was wide(宽阔的)and clean. Though the flowers weren't very beautiful-they made me feel good.I decided to take this path.But wait ! I looked at the right one.The path didn't look nice.It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.For a long time I couldn't decide which path to choose.

    It wasn't nice,but I didn't want to give up.At last, I came to the end of the path.Ah! There was a small garden there.It'was beautiful.There were trees, flowers and chairs there.I thought it was the nicest part of the park.

    Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park.Now I' d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently.I knew they didn't believe me.They couldn't even remember that path because it was so small.

    My trip to the park made me understand something about life.You may get a big surprise!

A.But when I told them what I had seen in the park,they just smiled at me without saying a word.

B.After a while(一会儿)a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.

C.I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths.

D.There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path.

E.I don't want to go to the park any more.

举一反三
“Life's a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.
Try to set goals in some of the following categories.

Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high-school? Are you still growing and learning?
Family—What kind of relationship(关系)do you want with your parents and other family members?
Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?
Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?
Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?
Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?
Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?

   Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?
   To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.
   Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.

    How do we know what's right or wrong in English? Languages such as French and Spanish each has an official(官方的) organization that tells you what's correct. But there is nothing like that in English. So what can we do?

    There is, of course, Standard English. This is the kind of English you read in newspapers or in formal letters. It is also the English you learn at school or in textbooks.

    However, Standard English is not official English. And unbelievably, linguists(语言学家) think Standard English is on the same level as all other types of English such as Cockney English, Yorkshire English, South African English, Australian English, Singaporean English… And according to linguists, there is no such thing as Standard Spoken English.

    English is changing all the time. Every year, new words appear and others disappear. Words change too. For example, for many years, the Latin word “agendum” was the accepted singular form and “agenda” was the plural form. However, these days, very few people use the Latin-sounding“agendum”, with “agenda” being the accepted singular form, and “agendas” the plural.

Newspapers each has their own style when they write certain things. For example,The Guardian puts dates like “21 July 2011”(with the day first, followed by the month and no commas). However, the news agency Reuters writes them like this “July 21, 2011”(with the month first, and a comma(逗号) between the day and the year). Other newspapers have different ways of doing it too. So, as you can see, there's no one “correct” way —there's a variety of ways and each one is acceptable.

    Next time someone tells you that something is wrong, tell them that it isn't wrong, It is just English.

(Each answer should be no more than four words)
