A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert (沙漠). “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing (消失) into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean(海洋),” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said: “If a breeze (微風(fēng)) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered: “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”

“That’s because you can’t give up(放棄) what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸發(fā)) into the breeze, it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form (形成) a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature (本性) never changes.”

Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next period of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience(經(jīng)歷) of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success(成功), you should also change the way you are.

1.Before getting to the desert, the stream .

A. met no difficulties

B. believed her ability to cross the desert

C. knew well about the desert

D. started to worry about herself

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to(指的是)?

A. The stream. B. The breeze.

C. The vapor. D. The desert.

3.What is the main idea of the story?

A. Our lives can be as difficult as the little stream’s.

B. The road to success is not always that easy.

C. We should do the right thing whatever others say.

D. To succeed (成功), we should change the way we used to be.

Linda looked at the ice-cream in the shop and the man outside and thought for a while. Then she decided to gave the money to the poor man.

The man smiled and said, “ Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. But I’m not a poor man. In fact, I’m the richest man in the town and I sometimes wear some old clothes to see what people will do.”
