    Hannah walked alone in the woods and felt sad . She was nine years old but she had already seen many changes in her short life. They weren't all bad things, some were pretty wonderful. Hannah loved having her new little sister and her stepmother ,Emma, was just lovely. She had to start at another school soon, but she was always able to make friends. Even so, her secret self wished that things didn't have to change at all.

    " Why do people have to leave, families move, a little girl grows up?”These thoughts made her feel worried .

    Hannah kicked a stone on the path and it hit a huge oak tree. She walked nearer to the tree. "Am I dreaming ?” Hannah rubbed her eyes. The tree was moving! Its big branches were reaching out to her. Soon, she was encircled by branches and leaves. Then she became one with the tree. Her brown hair grew longer and longer, as it curled around the leaves. Her body grew lean and strong and it mixed with the outer covering of tree until they shared one trunk. Her arms and legs reached out finger and higher. Finally, Hannah's spirit softly settled into its new home and she became a forest goddess.

    Hannah was now part of the woodland. Seasons changed and brought wonder and warmth to her. Winter was quiet and peaceful. In the springtime, she breathed in the rich smell of the soil and enjoyed the green new life in the forest. Her favorite season was autumn. Her leaves became magnificent colors and she loved to watch them dancing in wind.

    Hannah observed how things didn't stay the same in nature's world. She saw young animals born and the spirit of old creatures pass on. Within the tree, she spent hours watching the clouds move across the sky. Sometimes it was fair, and sometimes heavy and gray .In the evening she watched the stars twinkle against the night sky. As part of the forest, Hannah came to love the changing world around her.

    Suddenly, a nut hit her head. A squirrel hid from the tree quickly. Oh , she realized herself  napping under the oak tree. What a wonderful dream! Hannah learned her cheek against the bark and gave thanks for their time together. Then she went back home, thinking and smiling.……

    When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.                   
    He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to(不注意) the other things she said.”
    I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a quite clear picture of myself.
    I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That's just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
    Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.

Emmitt followed his father to row eleven, seats thirteen and fourteen. He was so busy taking in the sights at the baseball stadium that he wasn't watching where he was going. He bumped right into his father's back. "Sorry, Dad."

His father laughed. "No problem. Which seat do you want?"

Emmitt looked at the number thirteen on the back of the seat. Thirteen was supposedly an unlucky number, and he was going to need some luck if he was going to catch a foul ball(界外球). "I'll take fourteen."

As the players took the field, Emmitt took pictures for his scrapbook. He cheered, did the wave, and even got a foam finger(泡沫手指). The game was great. But it was missing one thing. A foul ball. Emmitt wanted nothing more than to catch a foul ball.

Every time a batter popped a ball into the air, Emmitt sprang to his feet. And each time, he'd groan and sit back down. He'd seen foal balls go over his head and fall short of his row. He saqueezed his foam finger when the next batter came to the plate. It was his favorite player—Harry "the Hammer" Watson. Emmitt stood up and cheered for him. He heard the crack of the bat and watched the ball sail into the air… right toward Emmitt! He couldn't believe it. He was going to catch a foul ball hit by Harry Watson.

"Daddy!" the little girl sitting next to Emmitt cried. "The ball! The ball! Catch it!"

Emmitt saw the huge smile on the girl's face. She wanted the ball.

He turned his back to the ball just as it reached his seat. Emmitt leaned toward his dad and the ball dropped into the hands of the little girl's father.

"Why did you do that?" Emmitt's father asked. "Do you realize who hit that ball?"

"Yeah, but look," Emmitt nodded to the little girl. She was hugging the ball.

"My first game and I got a foul ball," she said.

"I'm proud of you, Emmitt," his dad said, ruffling his hair. "That was a really nice thing to do."

Emmitt smiled as he watched the little girl. He didn't get his foul ball, but he felt as good as if he had.

 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

 How do astronauts stop bone and muscle (肌肉) lose? Do water fly away when astronauts have a drink? On Dec 9, Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu gave a lesson on Tiangong Space Station. They did some science experiments (实验). Lots of students watched it and learned many amazing science facts. 

Use it or lose it

The human body grows with the pull of Earth's gravity (重力). But in space, our bones and muscles don't need to support our body's weight. This will make bone and muscle lose. It is dangerous for them. 

Astronauts have different ways to solve the problem. For example, Ye Guangfu was wearing a special uniform. There are many elastic bands (弹力带) inside it. Astronauts use their muscles to stretch (拉伸) the bands. This keeps their muscles strong. 

Wang Yaping also showed students how she walked on a treadmill (跑步机) and rode a bicycle. Astronauts exercise with these tools every day to stop muscle loss. 

____

During another experiment, Wang made a water film (膜). Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball. This can never happen on the earth. Why?

We need to first understand the surface tension (表面张力) of water. Surface tension is like a"skin" (皮肤) of water. The "skin" is there because water molecules (分子) are drawn to each other. On the earth, gravity is too strong and it breaks the "skin". But with zero gravity in space, the "skin" stays strong and the water ball won't break. 

Space water is different in many other ways from that on the earth. For example, water won't fall down if you pour it into a cup. That's why astronauts usually drink water through straws (吸管). If astronauts cry, the tears won't fall down. They'll stay on their eyeballs.
