When I was in the eighth grade，my class was assigned（指派） to be friends with the second﹣grade kids.I got this little girl named Shelley.The first time I saw her，she was silent and cold.She was small for her age，and she didn't play with the other kids in her class.
I tried all kinds of things to get her to talk to me.I bought her toys，crayons and candies，But try as I might，nothing worked.One time，I gave her a coloring book and said， "Shelley，now you can color in it any time."
Shelley looked at the coloring book and then looked up at me，and finally looked away.By that，I didn't know how I was going to get through to the little girl，but I knew I wouldn't give up on her.
One Friday.I decided to tell her a story about my childhood.I told her that l felt lonely when I was with my classmates，and how I thought only my teachers liked me.I also told her that every day was a battle（战役） for me and I fought back tears so people wouldn't know how much I was hurting.
She sat there just listening，trying to decide whether I was lying or not Finally，when my story ended，there were tears in her eyes.And then she did the unthinkable.She said， "Thank you." From then on，Shelley was a different little girl.She started smiling and talking with other kids.
Looking back at this I'm in awe（惊叹），because all I did was to help her realize that she wasn't alone.I didn't ask her to tell her story，because her story is my story.

It was three o’clock. A man was walking down a street in the north of England. He was wearing a dark suit and carrying a suitcase. His name was Terry and lived away from home for twenty years. In fact, he was in prison (监狱) abroad.
Terry was feeling totally depressed because everything in his hometown changed. The park where he used to play was now a car park. The house where he was born disappeared and in its place, ironically (具有讽刺意味地), was a bank. Terry wanted to have a cup of coffee in the old small restaurant where he used to go with his friend after school, but it became a fast food restaurant. He entered it, sat down, and asked for a cup of coffee. Then he felt sadder when he thought of what he saw.
While paying for the coffee, he found an old ticket in his wallet. It was for a pair of shoes he took to be repaired the day before killing someone 20 years ago.

Have you ever wondered how and why a fall leaf changes color? We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are the world’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖). Glucose is a kind is a kind of sugar. Using it as food, plants get energy and grow. Plants using sunlight to turn water and CO2 into sugar is called photosynthesis(光合作用). ChlorophyII helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green color.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food—making factories.As the green chlorophyII disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. These colors have been in the leaves all the time. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyII.
The bright reds and purples in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees is made from waste left in the leaves. It is mixture(混合物) of all these things. It makes the beautiful leaves during autumn.The underline word “chlorophyII” in the passage means “_________” in Chinese.
A．胡萝卜素
B．叶绿素
C．氯霉素When they rest in winter, trees live on the food they store during the _________.
A．summer
B．autumn

Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
