It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole schoo1. “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm.
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and I went to school on Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(聳肩).
The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved(釋然)and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.
I went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face.  Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father’s son.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to envy（羨慕，妒忌）those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country road in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents will always take good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct（糾正）it, and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice these things, you can find that happiness is always around you.
小題1:Happiness is always around rich people.
小題2:People are happy because they can walk on the country road in their free time.

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America．One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York．
The reporter was talking to them about being important．
“How do we know if someone is really important?”the reporter asked the banker．
The banker thought for a few moments and then said,“I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important．”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company．“Do you agree with that?”she asked．
The man shook his head,“No．I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House．You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it．”
The reporter turned to the third man．“Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t,”he said．“I don’t think that makes the visitor important．That makes thePresident important．”
“Then what would make the visitor important?”the reporter and the other two men asked．

Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any "secrets" to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s "back to school" speech. Here is a small part of his speech.
I know that sometimes, after watching TV, you may feel that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping (饒舌音樂(lè)) or basketball or being a TV star. But when chances come, you may not succeed.
The truth is, being successful is hard. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world have had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected(退稿)12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career (職業(yè)生涯). But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you--you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
And even when you’re struggling(掙扎), even when you’re discouraged(泄氣), and you feel like other people have given up on you--don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
小題1:Why does Barack Obama talk about JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the second paragraph?
A．To show that these two famous persons are different.
B．To show that writing and sports are difficult skills.
C．To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.
D．To show that being successful is hard.
小題2:Barack Obama believes ____________ in his speech.
A．you can be rich and successful without any hard work
B．you may succeed at everything the first time you try
C．you can’t let your failures beat you
D．you shouldn’t ask other people for help
小題3:What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．If you’re discouraged, you should give up on yourself.
B．You should believe in yourself no matter how difficult it is.
C．When you’re struggling, you’ll feel like other people have given up on you.
D．If you are not struggling or discouraged, you can give up on yourself.
小題4:What’s the best title of this small part of Mr. Obama’s speech?
A．The way to succeedB．Failures can help you
C．Don’t give up on yourselfD．Barack Obama’s success
