Peter always doesn’t know the way. His friends often laugh at him. They say he needs a map to find the bathroom in his own house. In his eyes, every street looks the same, and he doesn’t know which way to go. Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house.
Peter watches a lot of films and reads a lot of books about animals. Each bird knows which way is south. Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. He feels embarrassed (困窘的) because all these animals have a good sense of direction. He tries to find his way with the help of stars in the sky. There is a star called the North Star, and he knows how to find it.
Of course, Peter’s friends are still laughing at him, because he can only see the North Star outside when it is sunny at night. He can’t tell the directions in the daytime or when he is inside or when it is cloudy.Sometimes Peter has to take a taxi home because __________.

I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye(吸引我的世界). It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him before.
But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression(表情). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought(尽管) he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought it,” she replied. I was still unable to understand.
“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”
The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food clothes. I soon realized(意识到)that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.
Since then I’ve never gone a day without thinking of what’s truly important. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are only part of the picture. What’s often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.How would Sarah spend her days long ago?
A.She watched TV all day. |

A.A man dressed in rags. |
B.A man dressed in new clothes. |
C.A man sitting down with a sad expression. |
D.A man singing happily to the music. |
Why was the man different?
A.He wore new clothes. |
B.He was sitting with a sad expression. |
C.He was homeless. |
D.He lived an active life though he was very poor. |
What did Sarah do after she understood the fact?
A.She thought all day without doing anything. |
B.She bought a radio just like the man’s. |
C.She had a passion with everything from then on. |
D.She always danced to the music on the radio. |

I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, “Herbert! It’s seven o’clock! Get up!”
Herbert answers, “I’m coming!” and goes right back to sleep. I’m not at all like my brother. I don’t like to go to bed at night but I don’t mind getting up in the morning.
I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bothroom to take a shower . I great dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go down stairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls.
But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队)in our bedroom could not wake him up . I call him and say, “Get up!” Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don’t get up quickly.
But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It’s that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he’ll learn to get up on time, but I really don’t think so.I’m not like my brother because I like to go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning.
I usually jump out of bed and go into the bothroom for a shower before my mother calls.
When mother calls, Herbert doesn’t answer and keeps in bed .
