There was once a famous king whose name was Tamerlane. Like Alexander the Great, he 1 to become the master of the whole world. So he raised a great 2 and made war on other countries. He conquered(征服,打。 many kings and 3 many cities. But at last his army was beaten; and Tamerlane escaped alone from the field of 4.
For a long time he wandered in 5 from place to place. His enemies were 6 him. He was about to lose all hope.
One day he was 7 under a tree, thinking of his failure. He had now been a wanderer for twenty days. He couldn’t 8 any longer. Suddenly he saw a small object climbing up the trunk (樹(shù)干) of the tree. He looked more 9 and saw it was an ant, 10(麥粒) as large as itself.
There was a 11
“You are 12 , Mr. Ant,” he said, “but you are carrying something that is too heavy for you.” Just as he 13, the ant lost its footing and fell to the ground. But it 14 held on to the grain of wheat. Tamerlane15 the little insect. It tried the second time, the third time ... the twentieth time — but always with the same16 . Then it tried the twenty-first time. 17, one little step at a time, it climbed across the rough place where it had 18 so often. The next minute it climbed 19 into its home, carrying the grain of wheat. “Well done!” said Tamerlane, “you’ve taught me a lesson. I, too, will try, try again, 20 I succeed.”

The cell door1 and I hear Chief's keys clinking as other doors clang shut further down the row. I step into my little cell and sit down. I glance up at the window, covered in mesh(鐵網(wǎng)),and think to myself, “This isn't a life, it's just a(n)2.”
Being3 makes me feel as though I'm being buried alive. I am a puppet(木偶) with people4 strings so that I eat, sleep and wake when they want me to.
I lie on my bed as night5 and think the same thoughts6. I think about how it all went so wrong, and imagine how I will7 for all the time I've lost.
Every day I live the same routine and nothing changes except the people. Prisoners depart for other prisons, or get8. Others9 from different prisons, or fresh from custody. It's a10 revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn)) door.
When I committed my11, I was a lost young boy, but now I am12. Walking around the yard, I would notice my fellow prisoners reading books and writing letters to friends and family, which upset me as my13 at school was limited.
I longed for the day when I'd be able to sit in the sun, enjoying a cup of coffee and reading a newspaper or book14 my choice. I also longed to write letters to my friends and family, sharing my thoughts and feelings.
I decided not to waste my time inside and,15, make the most of all the resources available to me. I started to learn and was16 to realize my dream.
Now, after five years' persistence, heartache and hard work, I have17 my goal. Having18 a course as a reading adviser, I can now help others to read and write. And I have even started a creative writing workshop at Junee Correctional Centre. Learning to read and write at a highter level has given me the inner strength to present myself in a more19 manner.
And the day I've dreamed about has come true: I now enjoy my cup of coffee with a book in my other hand. Learning to read and write has changed my life and this article is my first piece of “proper” writing, and it won't be my20.

Out of the front window I could see the orange top of a truck pulling in the cleaned driveway and I knew it was the other U-Haul. Instantly three men came14 in the back door like World War III was starting.
I watched15 as the men, my mother and my dad carried our belongings to the truck. My dog even winced(畏縮)as he stared out of the window. I wondered if he was16 , too, or if he just wished to play outside in the snow.
My mum came in, looking solemn(凝重). She turned17 the overhead light, put the18 in my arm and took me out of the back door. A totally19 feeling filled my heart. For the first time in my life ,I wondered what20 would be to me tomorrow.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a1problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without2;they try to find a solution by trial and error.3.,when all of these methods4,the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 5in analyzing a problem.

Next the person must7the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for8that will make the problem clearer and lead topossible solutions. For example, suppose Sam9that his bike does not work because there is some thing wrong with the brakes(剎車(chē)).10, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,11his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have12suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example13,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one14seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite16because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a17way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake. He18finds the solution to his problem :he must19the brake.
Finally the solution is tested .Sam finds that his bicycle20perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

Competition for admission to the country’s top private schools has always been tough. This is spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise2 data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews with representatives of independent and religious schools all told the same 53: too many applicants, higher rejection rates. Surveys indicate that Americans’ No.4 52 is education.5 the long economic boom(繁榮) has given parents more income, many are turning to private schools, even at price tags of well over $60,000 a year. “We’re getting applicants from a broader area, 54, than we ever have in the past,” said Besty Haugh of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a7 percent increase in8 this year.
The problem is that while demand has increased, supply has not. “Every year, there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of, there are a(n)9 number of children who don’t have places,” said Krents, who also heads a private-school admissions group in New York.
So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old a(n) 57? Schools know there is no simple way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to boys or girls or alumni(校友) children. Some use lotteries. But most rely on a10 of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best11 developmental maturity and learning potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays12 at the wrong time year, or because too many applicants were boys.
The worst thing a parent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform --- 613, by pushing them to read or do math exercises14 they’re ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for 63. Another year in preschool may be all that’s needed. Parents, meanwhile, may need a more15 mind about relatively unknown private schools --- or about magnet(具有吸引力的)schools in the public system. There’s no sign of the private-school boom letting up.

Women might have a higher position at work, but at home their careers tend to give way to their husband’s job, with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours, according to a U.S.study.
Researcher Youngjoo Cha, from Cornell University, found that working women with a husband who worked 50 hours or more a week found themselves still doing most of the housework and the care giving and were more likely to end up quitting their jobs.
An analysis of 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessionals from dual-earner (雙職工) families showed that if women had a husband who worked 60 hours or more per week it increased the woman’s possibility of quitting her paid job by 42 percent.Cha said the possibility of quitting increased to 51 percent for professional women whose husbands work 60 hours or more per week, and for professional mothers the possibility they would quit their jobs jumped 112 percent.
However, it did not significantly affect a man’s possibility of quitting his job if his wife worked 60 hours or more per week, according to the study published in the American Sociological Review in April.For professional men, both parents and non-parents, the effects of a wife working long hours were negligible, according to the study.
“As long work-hours introduce conflict between work and family into many dual-earner families, couples often solve conflict in ways that prioritize husbands’ careers,” Cha, who used data from the U.S.Census Bureau, said in a statement.“This effect is magnified (突出) among workers in professional and managing occupations, where the criterion of overwork and the culture of looking after children tend to be strongest.The findings suggest that the popularity of overwork may lead many dual-earner couples to return to a traditional family pattern — breadwinning men and homemaking women.”
