Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill. The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, “I think I can, I think I can.” At last, the train was over the top of the hill. “I thought I could, I thought I could,” chugged the happy little train.
Compassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In fall 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida returned the favor. In less dramatic ways, millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindnesses shown to them.
Great moral stories can build character. The success of The Book of Virtues in 1993 shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. Moral values are invaluable.
(1). According to the author, “perseverance” means ________.
(A) to experience a hard time.
(B) never to give up.
(C) “I think I can.”
(D) it doesn’t matter if we are slow.
(2). According to the author, compassion may be the queen of American virtues because ________.
(A) it is the virtue Americans respect most
(B) it is showed by the “the Good Samaritan”
(C) it is as noble as a queen
(D) it is from the Bible
(3). What’s the author’s purpose of telling the story of Florida’s hurricane?
(A) To show how Floridians suffered from the hurricane seriously.
(B) To show how people help each other in America.
(C) To give an example of compassion.
(D) To show water is in great need for Floridians hit by hurricane.
(4). According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
(A) Florida was grateful to what Iowa had done.
(B) Most Americans pay no attention to the kindnesses shown to them.
(C) Compassion could hardly be a positive cycle.
(D) Florida helped the Midwest because the Midwest helped it before.
(5). According to the author, moral values are ________.
(A) respectful
(B) of no value
(C) of great values
(D) less dramatic

Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods–periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience, over time. Start by saying to yourself, “Okay, for the next five minutes I won’t allow myself to be bothered by anything. I’ll be patient.” What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it’s only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself. Once you reach little milestones—five minutes of successful patience—you’ll begin to see that you do, indeed, have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person.
Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn’t “life or death” but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure. It’s really not worth all that. Whether you’re needing to deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation—if you don’t want to “sweat the small stuff”, improving your patience level is
a great way to start.
(1). The best title for this selection is ________.
(A) The Art of Patience
(B) Become More Patient
(C) Patience and Perspective
(D) The Effective Ways to Patience
(2). Which of the following is not TRUE?
(A) Success feeds on patience.
(B) We can deepen our patience by practice.
(C) Creating actual practice periods is the only effective way to deepen patience.
(D) Our intention may strengthen our capacity for patience.
(3). According to the passage, if we want to be patient, ________.
(A) we should have 5-minute practice everyday
(B) we could create actual practice periods and practice
(C) we should reach little milestones—five minutes of successful patience first
(D) We should be perspective
(4). With patience, ________.
(A) we will see a difficulty situation as a minor obstacle
(B) we will see a difficult situation as death
(C) we would never be hurt
(D) we can deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation easily
(5). Without patience, when we see the same difficult situation, ________.
(A) we will cry
(B) we will sweat
(C) we will improve our patience level
(D) we regard it as a major emergency

At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
For a year he spent his days filing shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety (多样性) and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart ad a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quite times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.
At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of 17 to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for 3 weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.
Many psychologists (心理学家) today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

(B) It is impossible that we will receive three different answers from three people.
