Tom wanted to follow his example, but he found it was too tiring. One day, Tom wentto see Dwyer. They sat quietly in Dwyer’s old house, cutting wood with their knives in front of the fireplace. T om finally spoke up.“I don’t know how you do it,”he said.“Do what?”asked Dwyer.“I don’t know how you stay motivated (积极的) to help people after so many years. I feel like giving up and I’ve hardly started.”Dwyer smiled and replied, “Can you blow out that candle for me?”Tom did as he was asked.“Now can you blow out this fire?”Dwyer asked.“Don’t be silly,”Tom replied. “Of course I can’t.”Dwyer put down his knife and his piece of wood and looked in the eye of Tom. He said, “When your motivation is as small as the candle’s flame (火焰), it’s easy to be extinguished, but when it is a fire you see before you, nothing can blow it out.”After hearing that, Tom decided to try harder.My challenge (挑战) to you is to find a big reason for doing what you want to do. Then you won’t give up when you meet with difficulties and when you feel tired. If you don’t have a big reason to press on, it’s easy for you to give up.So let me ask you, is your motivation like a candle or a fire? And what are you going to do to keep it from dying down?24.

Time to review all that you learned in elementary school —especially if you’ll be riding in traffic:Always ride on the right side of the street in the same direction as the traffic. Never ride against traffic. Try to use bike lanes (车道) whenever you can.Always stop and check for traffic in both directions when leaving your driveway.Some people in cars just don’t see cyclists.Watch traffic closely for turning cars or cars pulling out of driveways.Don’t ride too closely to parked cars —doors can open suddenly!Stop at all stop signs and stop at red lights just as cars do. Take special care at crossroads. It’s a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossroads using the crosswalk.Don’t wear headphones while biking —you need to hear what’s going on around you.Never change directions or change lanes without first looking behind you and using the correct hand signals. That way everyone knows where you’re going. You can use your left arm for all hand signals. To show you’re making a left turn, hold your arm straight out to the left. To show a right turn, bend your elbow(肘部), holding your arm up in an “L”shape. And before you stop, bend your elbow, pointing your arm downward (朝下) in an upside down “L”shape. Of course, you can also hold your right arm straight out to the right to show you are going to turn right.Biking is a fun way to get exercise and a great way to get around, but bike injuries (受伤) are common. So follow these tips to really enjoy your ride.28.

A great way to get aroundDThere is a World Championship which is held each year for children who play golf. Do you know about it? You may not. Sky Sudberry knows about it because she has participated (参加) in it several times along with thousands of other kids from around the world. Sky is a 5th grader at The Woodlands Preparatory School near Houston, Texas. She is also one of the best golfers for her age in the world.Her greatness comes from a few places. First, she really loves golf. She loves thesport. She also works very hard and practices every day in order to do well in the sport. As a great golf player, Gary Player said, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.”Sky is a great example of this.Most inspiring (激励人的) to us is not just her hard work or skill, but her positive attitude. Gary Player also said, “We create success or failure on the golf course (高尔夫球场) by our thoughts.”The same is true for life. For a young person, Sky really seems to have a great attitude on the golf course, whether she is winning or losing. And even more importantly her attitude off the golf course, in everyday life, seems to be just as positive.Sky, along with several other very inspiring young people, can be seen in a movie, The Short Game. It tells the story of 8 children who tried to win the World Championship. Although the movie is about golf, there are plenty of great life lessons for kids to learn. We highly suggest that you watch it.32. Why does Sky Sudberry know the World Championship?A. It is held in Houston.B. It is held each year for children.C. She was taught about it at school.D.
