They’re best friends. They are together every day. One of the friends, Jenny Siegle, is in a wheelchair (輪椅). The other, Augie, is a dog and he helps Jenny. 14-year-old Jenny is a quadriplegic (四肢癱瘓者). She cannot use her arms or legs well. Augie is not only a dog but also Jenny’s arms and legs.
How does Augie do this? In school, he picks up the pencil or notebook that Jenny drops. Jenny is also training Augie to pull off her jacket so Jenny doesn’t have to ask others for help.
At home, Augie brings her newspapers. He even helps clean Jenny’s room. When Jenny asks him to do something he can’t do, Augie goes to get her parents or sister.
At the mall, Augie wears a coat which tells everyone he is helping Jenny. After Jenny buys things, Augie carries them to the counter (柜臺). He gives the cashier Jenny’s wallet and waits for the change.

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. Through the years I would guess that what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was young, I thought sound was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mum.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first try, I had contemplated (仔細(xì)考慮)the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mum, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not right because there are many people who are blind.”
Over the years, Mother kept asking me the same question and her answer was always, “No, but you are getting cleverer every year, my child.”
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion(迷惑)on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows how you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes filled with tears(眼淚). She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”
I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?”
She answered, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”
Then and there I knew the most important part of the body is not a selfish one. It is the care to the pain(痛苦) of others.
小題1: What did his mother use to ask him?________________________________________________
小題2: Did he think sound was very important to them when he was young? ______________________
小題3: When did his grandpa die? ________________________________________________________
小題4:Why is shoulder the most important part of the body? __________________________________

Many young people these days are interested in extreme sports, which mean very dangerous activities that need speed, height, or a high level of physical exertion(努力). Bungee jumping, snowskating, parkour and surfing are very popular extreme sports, but mountain climbing might be the first.
In 1985, two British young men, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates became the first west faces to climb the 6344-meter Siula Grande in the Andes(安第斯山脈). On the way down, Simpson fell and broke his leg, then he slipped(滑) down and lost connection with his friend. Yates had to get for help. Simpson fell more than 100 feet and landed on a bridge of ice. Finally he crawled(爬) for three days without food or water, until he reached the camp.
On April 26, 2003, when Aron Rolston was climbing alone in Utah, his arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock and he couldn’t move. After five days of waiting for help, the 28-year-old American ran out of water and finally he cut off half his right arm with a small knife to free himself. He also bandaged(包扎) himself in order not to lose too much blood. In 2004, he wrote a book named Between a Rock and a Hard Place. “In this book,” Aron said, “I want to tell the readers the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life.”
小題1:How many kinds of extreme sports are mentioned in the first paragraph?
小題2:Did Simpson and Yates’s disasters happen on the way up the mountain?
小題3:How did Simpson get back to the camp?
小題4:What did Aron do to save himself when he ran out of water?
小題5:Why did Aron write the book Between a Rock and a Hard Place?

In our daily life, we may meet with difficulties. What should we do? When we face with problems, we often feel, “I am the only one having such problems.” Or, we exaggerate (放大) our problems and regard them as the most painful. But if we look around us, we find other people may be in much worse conditions.
Every person has his own difficulties no matter who and where he is. So it’s very important to have a correct attitude in your life. Only with the correct attitude can you face up all of your difficulties and finally overcome (戰(zhàn)勝) them. First, you have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret of success. Second, don’t complain about others when you have difficulties, because it can neither help you avoid difficulties nor help you solve them. And the most important thing is that don’t run away or give up. Use your ability to clear the difficulties that appear in your life. Third, remember how you overcome the difficulties because it may help you avoid similar trouble next time. Just take it easy, enjoy the life even it’s full of difficulties.

Laura Fagan, a 29-year-old British girl, has a special job. She is paid well to taste chocolate, desserts and cakes. [
Laura works in the famous supermarket, Tesco. Her job is to try different kinds of desserts. She needs to try as many as 20 desserts a day. Also, she always travels for work. She needs to travel to different cities to try different desserts.
Although the job seems to be great, it is hard. Usually, Laura begins trying desserts as early as 8 am, and is still trying new desserts at 6 pm before she goes back home. Luckily, the job hasn’t made her too heavy. She only worries about her teeth.
“Of course I was afraid of becoming fat when I started the job, so I try to do exercise as often as possible. The main thing is my teeth. I don’t think my dentist will be happy if I tell her what I do, so I try to brush my teeth as often as possible,” Laura told a reporter. She goes to the gym to keep slim (苗條的) and takes more care of her teeth after trying the desserts. She said, “When I tell people what I do, they say it’s the best job in the world.”
Laura loves her job although it is hard. “I can learn about new trends (動態(tài)) in food,” she said.
