    Mrs. Tan was feeling nervous because her son Tom's exam was coming. This was his national exam and they did not know what to expect. Tom's weakest subject was Chinese. So Mrs Tan had found a private teacher to give him extra lessons to improve his Chinese. Tom, on the other hand, was not showing any interest in the subject. He thought that the extra lessons would not be helpful to his grades at all. So he didn't put much effort into the lesson.

    One day after Tom's Chinese lesson, his teacher spoke to Mrs. Tan. She said that Tom was showing a callous attitude (冷漠的态度) to his work. She was worried about that he might not pass his Chinese exam if he continued being like this. She had no idea that the situation was becoming so terrible. She told the teacher that she would have a word with Tom about it.

    That evening, both Mr. and Mrs. Tan sat down with Tom and talked to him. They wanted to know why his attitude was so bad. They managed not to scold him but instead, talked to him kindly. At first, Tom said nothing. Then, he slowly told them he did not understand his lessons. He said that the teacher's pace (速度) of lesson was too fast for him. Mrs. Tan then advised him to speak up if it happened the next time so that his teacher could slow down. In addition, Mrs. Tan would let his teacher know that she needed to slow down her lessons a little.

    After that heart-to-heart discussion with Tom, the situation improved. His teacher taught him at a pace that was comfortable to him and he in turn, would speak up and ask questions whenever he had problems.

    By the time Tom sat for his exam, he was feeling more confident. When his results came out, he was excited as he had improved a lot in Chinese. Both his parents as well as his private teacher were very proud of him. It goes to show that with an effort, all things are possible.

②The street called Broadway in New York City became the centre of American theatre in the mid-19th century. The number, size, and fame(名声) of the Broadway theatres grew as New York City grew. In 1910 the brightly lighted street became known as "the Great White Way". Beyond these theatres the city offers free performances of the plays of William Shakespeare in Central Park. Operas and concerts are also held in the park.

Many people like collecting things.  For some people, they don't throw away the unwanted things because they believe they may be useful one day.  For others, especially old people, old things keep memories of the past and old friends.  They carry a special meaning.  Collecting things can easily become a hobby.  When people really put heart into it, the hobby can do them much good. 

Collecting makes people happy during their free time.  Collectors do not have to go outside for fun.  They keep collections at home: stamps, books, pictures, model cars, toy animals, etc.  It is always enjoyable to look at the collections. 

Collecting keeps people busy, too.  When there is a new piece of collection, they need to find the right place for it.  Sometimes this new piece pushes them to read.  In this way, collectors learn new things from the hobby. 

Collecting also gives people a reason to make new friends.  Collectors may want to meet other collectors to show new findings, to share stories, and to get advice.  So the hobby leads to travel.  Collectors take trips to meet new friends.  Their group of friends grows.  After years of sharing, collectors may become closer friends. 

Collecting things helps people make good use of their free time.  It brings collectors a busy but happy life.
