21、The promise was a long time keeping. And so was the dream.
In the early 1950s in a small Southern California town, a little girl left yet another load of books onto the tiny library’s counter. The girl was a reader. She’d make her weekly long journey to the yellow library with the brown decorations, the little one-room building where the children’s area actually was just a corner. Frequently, she walked out of that corner in search of mental food for the mind.
As the white-haired librarian hand-stamped the due dates in the ten-year-old’s choices, the little girl looked longingly at “The New Book” obviously displayed on the counter. She amazed again at the wonder of writing a book and having it honored like that, right there for the world to see.
That particular day, she spoke out her goal. “When I grow up,” she said, “I`m going to be a writer. I’m going to write books. ”
The librarian looked up from her stamping and smiled, not with the condescension (傲慢) so many children received, but with encouragement.
“When you do write a book,” she replied, “bring it into our library and we’ll put it on display, right here on the counter.”
The little girl promised she would. As she grew, so did her dream.
Years passed. Inside, the librarian welcomed her warmly. She introduced a reporter from the local newspaper, which she’d begged a chance to write for long ago.
Then she presented her books to the librarian, who placed them on the counter with a sign of explanation. Tears rolled down the woman’s cheeks.
Then she hugged the librarian and left, pausing for a picture outside, which proved that dreams can come true and promises can be kept, even if it takes thirty-eight years.
The ten-year-old girl and the writer she’d become posed by the library sign, right next to the reader board, which said:
WELCOME BACK, JANN MITCHELL.
【1】Why did the girl rarely stay in the children’s area?
A．Because she had to help load the books.
B．Because she failed to stand the noisy corner.
C．Because she’d like to eat snacks occasionally.
D．Because she felt like obtaining more knowledge.
【2】What did the librarian think about the girl’s dream?
A．Achievable.
B．Touching.
C．Unrealistic.
D．Absurd.
【3】How old was the woman when returning to the library?
A．Thirty-eight years old.
B．Fifty years old.
C．Forty-eight years old.
D．Seventy-three years old.
【4】Which might be the best title of the text?
A．A Novel Dream
B．A Dream with Promise
C．The Birth of a Great Writer
D．The Promise without Guarantee
22、Standing on the shore of a lake, I can’t help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time. And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?
Much like a rock, I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
Once, I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several people to leave for not wearing masks. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can to get through this together.” The group of young men wished to argue about the note.
I sat watching, understanding both sides. I’ve been those guys before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow from experiences by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more open, I’ve also found more happiness and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.
Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us. I placed a rounded stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.
【1】What does the author compare the rocks to?
A．Challenges we come across.
B．What nature offers us.
C．People’s abilities.
D．People’s personalities.
【2】Why did the group of guys argue in the restaurant?
A．They intended to skip out on the bill.
B．They were dissatisfied with the food offered.
C．They were unwilling to wear masks.
D．They were not allowed to leave the restaurant.
【3】What does the underlined word “accommodate” mean?
A．Fight with.
B．Try to change.
C．Provide space for.
D．Leave a good impression on.
【4】What does the author want to tell us with this article?
A．We should adjust to new conditions.
B．It’s necessary to consider the feelings of others.
C．Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life.
D．Being open and understanding brings you more happiness.
