| Jennie and I met in night school. After having completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. Frequently we had lunch together. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred spirits. "He's a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful, "Maybe you're seeing him with your eyes." She was silent a moment and then added softly, "It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her, "You're quoting that! It's from The Little Prince, SaintExupery's book for children. One of my favorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded, "I love it. I've read it so often, I've practically memorized it." Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book, because Jennie-more than anyone I know-possessed the gift of seeing with the heart. From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn't that I didn't have an excellent relationship with my husband and son. But my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life-things that must be shared to be fully appreciated. And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourthgrade problem child. One day I_was_at_my_wit's__ end. "What he needs is a good beating!" I exploded. "He's probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy. Looking back, I had to admit that she taught me so much, such as how to love spring. One April day I said, "I hate rain!" And I'll never forget what she said, "You can't hate spring rain! It brings the flowers!" So I learned to love spring rain, too, because it did bring flowers-violets, tulips and daffodils. |

| A. I didn't know what to do next. B. I decided to give up. C. I was hurt by my son deeply. D. I was very proud of my son. |
| 2. We learn from the passage that the author ________. |
| A. has the gift of seeing with the heart B. likes spring rain because it seldom rains in spring C. had lost her mother before her marriage D. seldom praised her child in the past |
| 3. How does the author feel about her family? |
| A. No one listened to her seemingly unimportant things. B. She didn't get along well with her husband and son. C. She seldom spoke to her mother. D. She felt quite alone in her family. |
| 4. The passage is mainly about ________. |
| A. how to educate children properly B. the fact that we should see nature differently C. the influence of friendship on our life D. how friendship begins and develops |

| There are more than one billion people around the world who smoke. Bill Gates, cofounder and former CEO of Microsoft, wants them all to quit. So does New York City's mayor Michael Bloomberg. This week, the Gates Foundation, a charity organization set up by Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, teamed up with Bloomberg to donate $500 million over the next five years to antitobacco programs. Bloomberg is no stranger to antitobacco plans. He has been fighting tobaccouse in New York City for years. In 2002, Bloomberg pushed for a ban on smoking in all New York City restaurants. Bloomberg's Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use was created in 2005. It aims to discourage smoking trends around the world by working to change tobacco's image, protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke, and help people quit. Bloomberg gave $ 125 million to start the program. Now, he is adding another $ 250 million. The Gates Foundation will invest $ 125 million over five years to fight the tobacco epidemic, including a $ 24 million gift directly to the Bloomberg Initiative. The money donated by the Gates Foundation will support antismoking efforts in developing countries where tobacco use is the highest. "Tobaccocaused diseases have become one of the greatest health challenges facing developing countries," Gates says. In addition to donating to the Bloomberg Initiative, the Gates Foundation will also help prevent the tobacco epidemic from taking root in Africa. "The epidemic in Africa is not well advanced," Gates explains. "That means that we can catch it at an early stage." Tobaccouse kills more than five million people every year. If the trend doesn't change, more than one billion people could die of tobaccorelated illnesses this century. Gates and Bloomberg have high hopes to change these statistics. "Together we can make a clear, measurable difference, not just for ourselves and our generation, but for the generations that come after us," says Bloomberg. |
