阅读理解

    An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation (手术) could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She ran to a drugstore(药店)with the money in her hand.

    “And what do you want?” asked the salesman.

    “It's for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He's really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”

    “Pardon?” said the salesman.

    “My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”

    “We don't sell a miracle here, child. I'm sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.  

    “Listen, if it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”

     A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

    “I don't know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”

    “How much do you have?” asked the man.

    “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.

    “Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took up the girl's hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Put Your Own National Culture on

Wang Tata, a post-1990s office clerk from Shanghai prefers to wear hanfu. She told China Daily that each suit has its own historic background and learning about the traditional clothing gives her a better understanding of our traditional culture. Qing zhi, a law student from Beijing, is used to wearing hanfu. "It gives me endless inspiration every day. I can discover a new self every single day," Qing zhi told CGTN.

 阅读下面语篇,从各小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track (跑道) in my neighborhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am 1 than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes 2 feel proud.

One day, a short man came. I saw him out of the car and do exercise 3 running. Then he started running and he was fast. I 4 up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great 5 in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, 6 I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, I was far behind him. He was too fast for me to 7 .

That day, I learnt several lessons. In 8 , there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural talent, and some have trained harder. Don't judge a person by how he or she looks.

The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often 9 hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Don't run fast when you should be running 10 . Don't run at all when you should be walking.
