If you are human, you can’t help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit （坑）. All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.

A. we stay with our family, friends and co-workers

C. we get through hard times in life
D. we make some big mistakes
69. The underlined phrase “took heed of ” had the similar meaning with “     ”.
A. acted according to            B. had some doubt
C. held on to                   D. got used to
70. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. That’s because        .
A. he struggled to prove that they were wrong  
B. he thought they were encouraging him
C. he was angry with what they said

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values（價值觀念） that helped me grow into an adult.

Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who asked me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit to her. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.

I also learned from Steve that personal property（財產(chǎn)） is a sacred（神圣的） thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father made with a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. David, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on the shoulder.

Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most unforgetful in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow(麻雀)in the yard with a BB gun. Excited, I screamed at Steve to come and take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is when it hurts you first, and then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A．The relationship between Mark and Steve.

B．The important lessons Mark learned in school.

C．Steve’s important role in Mark’s growth stage.

D．Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.

2.When Mark admitted his mistakes to Mrs. Holt, he ____.

A．was surprised                          B．felt frightened

C．was light-hearted                       D．cried before her

3.From the third paragraph, we can know that Mark _____.

A．had a shiny silver pen                    B．respected his teacher

C．hated his father very much                D．once owned a small wooden dog

4.To Mark, which is the most important lesson Steve taught him?

A．Respecting life.                         B．Being responsible for one’s behavior.

C．Being honest.                          D．Respecting others’ property

In most people’s opinion, the tiger is not an animal that we would ordinarily think of as being chicken. However, one tiger, which lives in an English zoo, turned out to be more cowardly( 膽小的) than his keepers could ever have imagined.

   Tanvir, a two-year-old Bengal tiger, got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in the zoo, after climbing it for the first time.

   The wooden tower had been designed to provide mental exercise for Tanvir by testing his ability of dealing with troublesome situations, but after climbing it in just a few seconds, he lost his courage when it came to coming back down. Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to collect the courage to attempt to get down.

  A spokesperson for the zoo said that several days before Tanvir had taken half an hour to get down a lower tower only 1.5m high, and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him.

 “Every time he got to the edge, he looked out, put a paw over, and thought, ‘no, I cannot make it!’”laughed Samantha Cordrey, Tanvir’s keeper. In the end Tanvir’s hunger defeated his fear, and after almost 48 hours he made his way down. Burying himself in a big meal just like a hungry pig, Tanvir seemed to forget such a shameful experience for a while.

  It appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvir’s life if he continued to act like a chicken. It is not known whether he will take courage to go back up his exercise tower again.

  The whole episode(插曲) only serves to show the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that will improve animals’ living ability in enclosed space.

1.When speaking of Tanvir’s shameful experience, Samantha Cordrey might feel it was_____.

  A. funny      B. surprising    C. exciting     D. unbelievable

2.What made Tanvir get down the 5m-high activity tower at last?

  A. The coldness of the weather.       B. The direction from his keepers.

  C. The sufferings of being hungry     D. The fear of being alone

 

3. Why does the author say “this experience would not be the worst in Tanvir’s life if…”(Paragraph 6)?

  A. Because Tanvir’s keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.

  B. Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to meet greater 

    challenges.

  C. Because Tanvir’s bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.

  D. Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.

4. The zoo designed the 5m-high activity tower to______.

  A. make Tanvir become brave   

B. improve Tanvir’s performance skills

  C. let tourists watch Tanvir better   

D. improve Tanvir’s living ability
