One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（縫被子）.I silently sat beside her. Mom, is there love between you and Dad? I asked in a very low voice. With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, Susan, look at this thread（線）.It can hardly be seen, but it39。s really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside. I couldn39。t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple. After two months my father still couldn39。t walk by himself. Dad, how are you feeling now? I asked him one day. Susan, don39。t worry about me, he said. I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life. Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply. Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.

Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect Find your answers from factsnot start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy ets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海綿）. This suggested that Earth39。s water might have e from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn39。t happen very often. When it does, it39。s amazing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency39。s Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the et would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced（彈起） away from the et39。s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________. A.they preferred to learn by themselvesB.they needed standard ways of teachingC.their teachers didn39。t like their new ideasD.their teachers weren39。t able to teach them（2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________. A.we should get answers from factsB.we can believe what we are taughtC.it39。s hard to make others believe somethingD.an expectation can help get an answer in research（3）The example of Philae in Lesson 3 shows that________. A.Comet 67P was not far away from EarthB.it took Philae2o years to reach Comet 67PC.Philae landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD.scientists know nothing about the surface of Comet 67P（4）The best title for this passage is_____. A.Ways of learningB.Lessons for successC.Ways of being specialD.Lessons for experiments8．閱讀理解 Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mother was one of those people. My father died when I was one yearold. While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Bach night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life, Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it. At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again. Every might my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I walked on my own to school! When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job. Then I left school to support the two of us. At that moment I decided never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the secondclass hotels available for families and was very angry, that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for an ordinary American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel （汽車旅館） for families that would never charge extra money for children. Many people did not believe me at that time. Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties. But with my mom39。s words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed. Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world Holiday Inn. In 1979 my pany ha
