Joe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn’t good harvest for years. “If God let me control the weather, ______ will get better,” he complained, “I know better than God does because I am a (an) ______farmer.”

God heard his words. “Well, I will give you one year,” God replied. “You will be in charge of the weather. Let’s see what your crops grow like.” Joe was so ______ that he couldn’t believe what he heard. But he still wanted to have a try. He shouted, “Sunny!” ______ the clouds went away. “Unbelievable!” He thought to himself and tried again, “rain!” The sky became cloudy right away and heavy rain poured down. ______, in the following year, he changed the weather between sunny and rainy. Watching his crops growing bigger and bigger, he felt happy.

When the harvest season came, he ______ his basket and sickle（鐮刀）to the field, looking forward to a big harvest. But his heart sank to the ______when he found his strong crops had not grown any grain（谷粒）at all. Puzzled and disappointed, he started crying, which was heard by God again.

“How about your crops?” God asked. Joe ______ the crops, without a word. “Do not you have your wish to control the weather?” God asked again. “Yes, but I just can’t understand it. I have given them what they need. How could it be?” Joe ______. “That’s because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger. Without strong roots, of course they won’t grow any fruit.”

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my not very bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor, and much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s(同事) son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship(獎學金) and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I just can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker's son. I can't be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of honor or money.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her little money and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am. And usually comes home around 5 pm. or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that if I become a doctor, it doesn't mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

3.The underlined word “bemoans”, in Paragraph 2 most probably means“ ”.

A. 稱贊 B. 大喊 C. 安慰 D. 抱怨

4.Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?

A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.

Hanukkah(光明節(jié)), the Festival of Lights, is celebrated by the Jewish(猶太人的) people around the world. They celebrate the holiday with the lighting of the menorah(連燈燭臺), traditional foods, games and gifts. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival. It is on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. The festival celebrates the time, over 2000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against a king who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion(宗教). When the Jewish people won back their temple in the city, they found there was only enough holy(神圣的) oil to keep the sacred light(神圣之燈) burning for one day. However, to their surprise, the little oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make some oil.

At the center of the festival celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of the festival, the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During the festival, people go to the temple to pray(祈禱) and to remember the miracle(奇跡) of the holy oil. The festival is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food. Hanukkah is a small and not very important holiday in the Jewish year. However, the Hanukkah story tells us a Jewish culture living through in a non-Jewish world.

A. 7 B. 8 C. 9 D. 10

C. the king didn’t let them celebrate their own festivals.

D. the king didn’t allow them to keep the sacred light burning.

3.What do the candles on the Menorah make Jewish people think of?

A. The war that they fought 2000 years ago.

B. The God that they honored best.

C. The miracle of the holy oil that happened 2000 years ago.

D. The church they built 2000 years ago.

Kid’s health: Four steps for fighting stress(壓力).

Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 1. Some ways —like shouting or hitting someone—don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solve your problem or at least feel better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

※ Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 2. They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

※ Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help. Don’t take it out on yourself. 3.

※ Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 4. Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

※ Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暫時的). Remember stress does go away when you find out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a difficult time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 5.

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you out of the difficult situation,

B. And don’t forget about your friends.

C. Different people deal with stress differently.

D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

E. You need to find out what the problem is.
