21、   A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and played around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap（小睡） under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by. The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree, and he looked sad. “I want toys. I need money to buy them,” he said. “You can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money,” The tree said. The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.

One day, the boy returned, and the tree was so excited. “I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter(居所). Can you help me? ” “You can chop off my branches（树枝) to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

One hot summer day, the boy returned, and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat? ” “Use my trunks（树干）to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy. ” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore.” The tree said with tears. “I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! An old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, come, sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

You may think that the boy is cruel (残忍的）to the tree, but that’s how all of us are treating our parents.

22、As a teenager, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; or they can be small—you may just want to become the best student in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from achieving your dream. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is made up of many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important.

Without dreams, you won’t make up your mind to learn more skills and new interests.

24、   Modesty(谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched(进军) on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan sought help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered.

Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “How long have you been here with me?”

“Three years,” Mao Sui answered.

“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl(锥子) in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce(戳) through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but I haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent.” said Prince Pingyuan.

“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point — the whole awl,” Mao Sui said confidently.

Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.

However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance(傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.

【1】Where was Mao Sui from?

A.Qin. B.Chu. C.Handan. D.Pingyuan.

【2】What does the phrase “毛遂自荐” mean?

A.Show modesty. B.Feel unconfident.

C.Be professional. D.Volunteering for a task.

【3】The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 6 means ________.

A.putting an awl into a bag

B.putting Mao Sui into a bag

C.letting Mao Sui join the team

D.refusing Mao Sui

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Modesty isn’t a valuable quality.

B.Mao Sui was a confident person.

C.Prince Pingyuan didn’t like Mao Sui.

D.The writer thinks we should learn from Mao Sui.
