他走進了站臺咖啡館,他抬頭看了看里面的鐘,那會兒是12點差20分,他找到了一個座位并在墻上掛著大鏡子的前面坐下了,就在那時候,Tom的一個同事John走了進來坐在他旁邊.
"你的那公車是什么時候的?"John問.
"還有好長一段時間的."Tom回答道.
"那好吧,我再給你帶點茶來."John說.
他們邊喝邊談,Tom又看了看鐘說,"噢!鐘是倒著走的!"他大叫,"幾分鐘之前是11點40現(xiàn)在是11點半了."
"你看的是鏡子里的鐘."John說,Tom好難過,下一趟公車要再等一個小時.從那之后Tom再也沒有喜歡過鏡子.

1.Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air.You name them work,family,health,friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.If you drop it,it will bounce(彈跳) back.
But the other four balls,family,health,friends and spirit,are made of glass.If you drop one of these,it will be broken and never be the same.You must understand that and try to have balance in your life.How?
Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set goals for you.Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid of difficulties.It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible.The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (緊緊地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn.Knowledge is weightless.It's a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly.You can't get them back.Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery(秘密),and today is a gift; that's why we call it"the present".Life is not a competition,but a trip,step by step.

61.The passage tells us not toD because everyone is special.
A.be afraid of difficulties
B.be afraid to learn
C.run through life so easily
D.compare yourself with others to look down on your worth
62.The underlined sentence"Nothing is …"means thatB.
A.Nothing is possible
B.If we don't give up,there is always hope
C.You should learn to give up
D.Although you try,nothing will change
63.Why can't we use time carelessly?B
A.Because time is too expensive.
B.Because time never returns.
C.Because we are too poor.
D.Because time will get back.
64.The best way to keep love is toC.
A.say it's impossible
B.give it
C.give it wings
D.hold it tightly
65.According to the passage,which is the best title?D
A.Nothing Is Impossible
B.Glass Balls Are Easy to Be Broken
C.Things You Can't Do
D.Treat Your Life in a Right Way.
