Jane slammed the door of the log cabin (小木屋) raced toward the Indiana woods. Mother and Father insited that Jane go to school and learn to read. It was September of 1825, and Jane wanted to help on the farm like her brothers. Therefore, she told her parents “No!” and refused to learn to read.
Jane scooped (捧起) up her long skirts and splashed (濺起水花) through a small stream. Running helped her collect her thoughts, so she ran for what seemed like hours. She dashed around a tree and wasn’t paying attention. As a result, she tripped (絆倒) over a pair of long legs stretched out in the grass.
The legs belonged to her neighbor, Abe Lincoln. Abe was leaning (斜靠) against a tree reading a book. He smiled, stood up, and extended his arm to help Jane up.
Jane recognized Abe and knew what a hard-worker he was. But she also heard he was not like the other sixteen-year-old boys in Perry County. Abe was different because he spent all of his spare time reading books.
“Why are you running so fast?” Abe asked. “Are you hurt?”
Jane frowned (皺眉). “No, I’m all right,” she said. “I’m running because I’m upset. My parents want me to learn to read, and I told them no!”
Abe looked down at his book and then at Jane. “Reading can change your life,” he said quietly. Meet me here tomorrow, and I’ll prove to you how important reading is.”
Jane met Abe the next afternoon. He showed her a book about George Washington. One of his favourite teachers had donated it to him, and he had read it many times.
Abe began to read aloud while Jane listened carefully. He read about Washington and what a great leader he was. He read about Washington’s courage and bravery.
“Someday I want to be as courageous as George Washington,” said Abe proudly. “Someday I will be president of the United States, too.”
“I believe you will make a great president,” said Jane. “Look at what a good leader you are now. You’ve completely changed my mind about reading!”
Years later, Jane opened her newspaper and read the good news. Her friend, Abe Lincoln, had an elected President of the United States. She smiled and thought about the day she tripped over long legs. That was the day that changed her life.
1.Instead of going to school, Jane preferred to _______.
A.teach herself by reading books B.run through the Indiana woods

“The dark dots are very small compared to everything else we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds, so just take your eyes off the dark spots in your life”. The professor continued, “Be happy and live a life positively!”
