A
Have you ever thought of
such questions as
“
Why do I
have to study math?
“
or
“
I
am not
interested in history at all. My dream is to be an
actor. Should I give history
up?
”
Maybe you
are right. After you leave school,
it
’
s not necessary for you
to understand
everything. But please
remember that at school, besides getting
knowledge, you should
pay
attention
to
some
other
important
things.
First,
try
to
find
what
you
are
most
interested in. At
school, you study many subjects. Try to find what
you like and what you
don’t like. This
may be
helpful to you in the future.
Second, maybe you don’t like math
and you want to drop it. But the
logical thinking ability from math can help you
solve
some problems. At school, you
should practice your brain by thinking.
Third, you should believe in yourself.
Maybe you learn French at school, but you
don’t need to speak French at
all.
But learning French can prove that
you have the ability
of learning
languages. Suppose you go to France one day and
find a good job well. At
school I
learned French well, and now I must be able to
learn German. But if you have no
confidence,
what
will
happen?
Try
to
challenge
yourself
as
often
as
possible.
I
think
many of us like
playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we
always want to try
it again. Why?
Because it is hard for us to get the highest mark.
If we want to challenge
ourselves, we
must face more difficult things and make greater
progress.

B
A well-dressed man entered a famous
jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to
buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday.
T
he price didn’t matter.
Since business had been very
good for him that year. After examining
a nice black one that cost $$5,000, he paid for the
pearl in cash, shook hands with the
jeweler, and left.
A few days later the
man returned and said that his wife liked the
pearl so much that
she wanted another
one just like it. It had to be exactly the same
size and quality, because
she wanted a
pair of earrings, “can you give me any advice on
how to get such a pearl?”
said the man.
T
he jeweler regretfully replied,
“
I
would say it’s exactly
impossible to find
one exactly like
that pearl.”
The rich man
insisted that the jeweler advertise in the
newspapers, offering $$ 25,000
for the
matching pearl. Many people answered the
advertisement but nobody had a pearl
that was just right.
Just
when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old
lady came into his store. To his
great
surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her
purse. “
I
don’t like to part
with it,”
she
said sadly,
“
I
inherited(
继承
) it
from
my
mother,
and
my
mother
inherited
it
from
hers. But I
really need the
money.”
The jeweler was
quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then
he called the
rich man’s hotel to tell
him the good news.
The man, however,
was nowhere to be found.
31. The man
said he wanted to buy a pearl for ______.
A. his wife
B. his mother-in
–
law
C. his own
mother
D. no one
32.
The
man
paid
$$
5,000
for
the
black
pearl
without
bargaining
(
讨价还价
)
