Part 3 Reading

Today, on the car ride to church, I was making faces at Manny, trying to get him to laugh. I made this one face that made Manny laugh so hard that apple juice came out of his nose. But Mon said, “You could have killed him!” Well one Mon put that thought in Manny’s head, it was all over. See? This is the reason I keep my distance from Manny. Every time I try to have a little fun with him, I end up regretting it.

I remember when I was younger, Mom and Dad told me I was getting a little brother. I was really excited. After all those years of getting pushed around by Rodrick, I was definitely ready to move up a notch of the totem pole. But Mom and Dad have always been super protective of Manny, and they won’t let me lay a finger on him, even if he totally deserves it.

Like the other day, I plugged in my video game system, and it wouldn’t start. I opened it up and found out that Manny had stuffed (塞满) a chocolate-chip cookie in the disc drive. And of course Manny used the same excuse he always uses when he breaks my stuff. I really wanted lo let Manny have it, but I couldn’t do anything with Mom standing right there.

Mom said she would have a “talk” with Manny, and they went downstairs. A half hour later, they came back up to my room, and Manny was holding something in his hands. It was a ball of tinfoil (锡纸) with a bunch of toothpicks sticking out of it. Don’t ask me how that was supposed to make up (补偿) for my broken video game system. I went to throw the stupid thing away, but Mom wouldn’t even let me do that.

Even though Manny drives me totally nuts, there is one reason I like having him around. Ever since Manny started talking, Rodrick has stopped making me sell chocolate bars for his school fund-raisers. And believe me, I’m grateful for that.

3. What is not true about the Manny-breaks-my-stuff incident?

A) Manny’s excuse always works.      B) I always let Manny get away from it.

C) I really wanted to punish Manny for it.     D) I decided to let Manny have the broken stuff.

4. What happened after Manny broke my video game system?

A) Mom took Manny away from my room without saying a word.

B) Mom had a half-and-an-hour talk with Manny and let him say sorry to me.

WHEN did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can’t remember, then you can get the chance this Father’s Day on June 21.

Generally compared to (与......相比) a mother’s g________ love, a father represents (代表) qualities like independence (独立), confidence,courage and adventure.

A________, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead (引导) their children into their social circle (社交圈) but also teach them how to behave and control their f________.

For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was q________ and didn’t like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my a________ of leading and cooperating (合作),” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.

US actor Will Smith learned important l________ from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to tear (拆) down a wall of their shop and rebuild it.

And soon you have a wall,” he said on TV show Charlie Rose (《查理．罗斯访谈录》).

“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,” British poet George Herbert (1593-1632) once said. Do you agree?

C. Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题) : 12%

Look carefully at the back of a California state quarter. A man with a walking stick is pictured there. A bird called California condor (大秃鹫) is flying overhead. Who is this man, and why is he so important that he is featured (处于显著地位) on the back of a coin?

The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a young man, he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness. He walked more than a thousand miles across the country, through fields and woods. John Muir liked writing about the places he visited, describing their beauty.

Muir also wrote about problems. In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle, many trees were being cut down. This made Muir unhappy and worried, because he knew that trees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them. Muir believed that nature should be protected instead of being changed by human beings. He wrote articles in magazines and newspapers to spread the word about protecting  forests. Soon, others began to listen.

Muir wrote letters to important people, such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The president admired Muir's love for nature. When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California, Muir convinced(说服)the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they could talk about protection. Later President Roosevelt set aside(留出)148 million acres of land for national forests and built five national parks. National parks are large areas of land that are protected from development. This means that people can not build homes or businesses there. One of these parks is Yosemite National Park, the area that is featured on the back of the California quarter.

Though it has been almost one hundred years since John Muir died, people continue his work today. He helped us to see the beauty of our natural world. John Muir made us understand the importance of protecting our earth and our resources--then, now, and for the future.

Questions:

1. What did Muir love doing when he was a child?

2. Did Muir write about the beauty of places or about problems?

3. How did Muir draw people's attention to protect forests?

4. Where did Muir go camping with the president?

5. When did the president set aside land for national forests and build five national parks?

6. What do you think of Muir's action?
