A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.
Number One is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign, they must not go at
more than thirty kilometers an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number Two is a
sign that we're near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number Three is a sign that there is a bend
(拐弯) in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go around a bend very fast.
Number Four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction (交叉) at
this place. Number Five is a sign that there is a hill and Number Six is a sign that the road gets narrow.
Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number Seven has the word "SCHOOL" on it. This is a sign that
there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving
school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number Eight is a sign with the letter "P" on it. The
letter "P" means "Parking". At some places, there are the signs "No parking" or "No waiting". If a driver
leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.

       Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. There was another building not far from mine. A woman
lived there. I had never met her, but I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫)or
reading.
       After several months, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the
dirty window. I would say to myself, "What a lazy woman! I wonder why she doesn't wash her window.
It really looks terrible."
       One bright morning, I decided to clean my flat, including the windows. I worked the whole morning.
When I finally finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a
surprise! Everything in the woman's flat could be seen clearly. Her window was clean!
       I began to understand. I watched the woman's window from my own dirty window. That's the
problem!
       That is quite an important lesson for me. How often do I look at and criticize others through the dirty
window of my heart?
       From them on, whenever I want to judge someone, I ask myself first, "Am I looking at him through my
dirty window?" Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see others' world more
clearly.

1. What does the underlined word judge mean in Chinese according to the passage?

A. 赞美
B. 评判
C. 妒嫉
D. 鼓励

2. Why couldn't the writer see things clearly through the window several months later?

A. Because the woman's window was dirty.
B. Because his own window was dirty.
C. Because the woman lived far away.
D. Because he had poor eyesight.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A. one shouldn't criticize others very often.
B. one should look at others through his dirty windows.
C. one should often keep his windows clean.
D. one should judge himself before he judges others.

       Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure (失败), teachers, parents or others often say to us "Never
give up." These can be encouraging words. A person should believe in himself and keep trying to be
successful no matter how many times he fails. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
       One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will seldom achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to
fail in something new, so we should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail , we will not be
able to develop new skills and grow.
       Another reason is that we can learn from our mistakes so as not to do the same things again. If we do
not try once more, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
       Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and
this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge(挑战) ourselves,
we will begin to doubt our abilities.
       In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. We succeed in the end or
not, we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident.
What's more, if we give up , we have no chance of realizing our dreams any more , but if we keep making
great efforts, there is always a chance that we will be successful one day.
                                                                    Topic: Never Give Up

Possible meanings and the author's opinions	The words " Never give up" can 1 others or oneself . If a person wants to have 2 ,he should have the quality .
The 4	If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve 4 , so when we fail in something new, we should think it is 5 and try again. . Never giving up will make us learn from the 6 and learn the 7 so that we can not make the same ones. To reach our goals and develop the 8 we must not give up but challenge ourselves.
Conclusions	If you give up, you will have no 9 of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will attain your goals sooner or 10
