阅读理解

    Valerie noticed that her daddy was going bald day by day. This worried her.

    "Daddy, every day you have less hair. Why is that?"

    Her father smiled, "Round here there's a little hair thief, and he visits my head during the night. He pulls out my hairs as many as he likes. And nobody can catch him!"

    That night, Valerie stayed awake. As soon as she heard her father's first snoring (打鼾), she took a hammer (锤子)and went into her parents' bedroom. Being afraid of the thief running away, she slowly tiptoed in. When she arrived, she began to watch her father's head carefully, hoping to catch the hair thief as soon as he appeared. Before long, she saw a shadow on her daddy's head. With all her strength, she swung the hammer down.

    Thwack! Her father yelped and jumped out of his bed. The lump (肿块) on his head was already big, and growing. He turned the light on, and saw Valerie holding her hammer in the air.

    "I nearly got him, Daddy! I thought I hit him, but it looks like he escaped!"

    Meanwhile, they woke Valerie's mother up. Seeing the lump on her husband's head, she laughed out loud. "Well, that's what happens when you tell silly stories, "she said.

    So Valerie's father had to explain to her that the hair thief didn't exist, and that going bald is something that just happens naturally to most daddies.

Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎,奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges (挑战) of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.

When people are young, meeting and overcoming (克服) challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.

Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

 完形填空

No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own effort. 

I learned this lesson from a(n)1 many years ago. I worked as a new football coach(教练) at a university in State of Georgia. 

It was a tradition for the school's old team in the club to play against a2 team at the end of the term. The old team had no coach,and they didn't even practice to prepare for the game. Being the coach of the new team,I helped them practice once a week and I thought we were sure to 3 ,but to my surprise,we lost the game. I could 4 believe that I had got into such a situation. After thinking hard about it,I came to realize that I might be too 5 about ourselves. I had to change my attitude (态度) and the way of training. 

Instead of seeing my boys as losers,I pushed and 6 them. I started doing anything I could to help them. That summer,when other teams 7 their holidays,we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football. 

Six months later,we won our first game and our second,and continued to head in. Finally,we faced the number one team in the state. Before the game,I thought even if we lost the game,it would still be a8 for us. But that didn't happen. My boys beat the best team in the state,giving me one of the 9 memories of my life! 

From the experience,I learnt a lot about how the attitude of a leader could change a team. I helped them to see themselves 10 ,and they built themselves into winners. 

Winners are made,but not born.
