    Boom! A clap of thunder (一声霹雳) made the old house shake. Ramon stayed under his bed. A flash of lightning (一道闪电) lit up the room."I hate this house,"Ramon thought. It was his first night in his new home.

    The house had belonged to his grandma. It was very, very old. It looked really scary at night. The trees outside his windows looked like monsters (怪物) in the dark. Their branches (树枝) looked like long arms. They waved when the wind blew. The storm made everything even scarier. Ramon hated storms, and it seemed worse in the old house.

    Later the thunder became quieter. Ramon climbed into bed and fell asleep. When he woke up, the sun was shining through his windows. Ramon climbed out of bed.

    The trees outside didn't look like monsters anymore. The branches had nice green leaves growing on them. Ramon could see a bird sitting on one of the branches. It was singing a happy song. The yard looked pretty nice in the daylight. A stream (溪) ran across the yard. A swing hung from one of the trees. Many flowers grew next to the  tree.  Butterflies  flew  around  the flowers.

Back in New York, I am fighting fires as the assistant captain (副队长) of a volunteer fire company.

I still remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer on the scene (现场). The captain was talking with the homeowner, who was surely having one of the worst days of her life. At midnight, she was standing outside in the heavy rain, under an umbrella, barefoot (赤脚的), while her house was in flames (在燃烧中). The other volunteer, who had arrived just before me, was asked to go inside and save the homeowner's dog. The captain then waved (招手) me over. He said, "Bezos, I need you to go upstairs past the fire, and get this woman a pair of shoes." So, not exactly what I was hoping for, but off I went up the stairs, down the hall, past the "real" firefighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire at this point, into the bedroom to get a pair of shoes.

Now I know what you're thinking, but I'm no hero. (Laughter) I carried the shoes downstairs where I met the other volunteer with the valuable dog. We took our treasures outside to the homeowner, where, not surprisingly, his received much more attention than mine.

A few weeks later, the company received a letter from the homeowner thanking us for saving her home. The act of kindness she noted above all others was that someone had even gotten her a pair of shoes.

Here, I would offer this reminder: don't wait. Don't wait until you make your first million to make a difference in somebody's life. If you have something to give, give it now.

Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody's life, but every day offers us an opportunity to affect (影响) one. So get in the game. Save the shoes.

 阅读下面短文,掌握大意,然后从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

As a funny student, Brian loved watching comedies best and hoped to become a comedy actor one day. When he1 the talent show to be held at this school, Brian decided to take part in it. 

He had never acted 2 before, so he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. "You are not funny but3 , "Ken, one of his classmates, said. "No one will like what you do. "another boy also said to him 4 .

Brian couldn't5 why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered6 his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the7 .

Brian did a great8 at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were9 of him and said he would be successful in the future. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny. Brian didn't understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had10 to do with him. He11 continued to work towards his dream. 

As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. Luckily, most people12 him and some helped him to become even13 . He got a lot of chances to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television. 

Now Brian is a famous comedy actor! He is doing what he loves best. He 14 feels worried like those unkind people, and he laughs all day long!

Remember the bottom line is that you can't let the behavior of others bring your joy. Focus on being the best and happiest that you can be-that's 15 your energy should go.
