The little boy tells us where his father (work)答案解析

On a cold winter afternoon，I was walking home from a supermarket．I was feeling a little tired，as I was carrying my shopping bags．They were so heavy that I decided to stop to have a rest in the park．I walked towards the gate of the park．I noticed a poor mad walking out of the restaurant in front of me．He was holding a paper bag．He walked to a nearby dustbin（垃圾箱）and started looking through it．

I suddenly felt sad．I knew this man would take all that he could get，so I went up to him and gave him some fruit．The man，with wrinkles（皱纹）on his face，looked up in surprise and took what I gave him．

A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very happy．Then he said．“Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich，then this drink，and now some delicious fruit．This is my daughter's lucky day．Thank you，boy．” Then he went away，singing a song．

Just then，I understood what the saying “Giving is getting．”really meant．Everyone in the world needs help，everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness．Giving sometimes doesn't cost much，but it means a lot to the people who you help．

The man's happiness at that moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others．

Once a little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?”

“Because I’m a woman,” she told him.

“I don’t understand,” he said. His mum just hugged him and said, “And you will never understand it.”

Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does my mother seem to cry for no reason?”

“All women cry for no reason,” answered his father.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he gave a call to the God; and when the God got the phone, he asked, “God, why do women cry so easily?”

God said: “When I made woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure（忍耐） childbirth and the rejection（拒绝） that comes from her children many times. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and takes care of her family through sickness and fatigue（疲劳）without complaining.”

At last the God said again, “Finally, I gave her a tear to shed, and this is her right exclusively（专有的）to use whenever it is needed.”

1．The boy’s mother cried because she hurt herself.

2．His father told the reason why the boy’s mother was crying.

3．There are three persons in the passage except the God.

4．The passage mainly tells us why women cry so easily.

5．According to the God, a woman can stop doing something when someone else does.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.

Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视 ) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.

Here are a few ways to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.

The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue (美德).

— William Bennett

Thanksgiving Day was coming. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment (作业) — to draw a picture of   1  for which they were thankful.

Most of the class might be considered poor, but still many would   2  the holiday with turkey and other traditional food of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subject of most of her students’ art. And they were.

But Douglas made a   3  kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of weak and unhappy. As other children played at   4 , Douglas used to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain that Douglas felt behind those sad   5 .

Yes, his picture was different. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a   6 . Nothing else. Just an empty hand.

His abstract (抽象的) picture caught the   7  of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers   8  turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and   9  people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went on — until the teacher almost forgot the young artist   10 .

When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and   11  him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She recalled the   12  when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How   13  she had said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was very   14   for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.

The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that   15  out.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
【小题1】People with little education usually ____.
