• 2．    Gutierrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago.It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books.It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage.He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning.Eventually，he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.
      Colombia's capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries.However，these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live.The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet.Gutierrez's community library is a true representation of how one man's garbage can be another's treasure.
      Gutierrez grew up poor，and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school.Nevertheless，his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night.Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez.
      Today，his makeshift community library，called "The Strength of Words"，occupies most of his home in southern Bogota，and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles.Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20.000 books!As word began to spread about his amazing project，people began sending him thousands more books to grow his library.
      Despite having done so much for his community，Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day.He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials.Today，the Gutierrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods.They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.

• 3．    You've heard an old Chinese saying before：Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day；teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now.However，we can have a different understanding about it.
     When a person is starving，that's not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish-eradicating their hunger-and only then teach them to fish.Far too often，people ignore this common sense first step.They see someone who is struggling，and they rush to offer wisdom. "Let me tell you what I'd do in your position，" a well-meaning individual might offer.
     But few of us understand the anxiety，confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need.People meeting with personal disasters don't have the ability to think straight.Their nerves may be shot.Their confidence may be non-existent.Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person's situation？
     Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time.Instead，it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance.Once their ears，heart and mind open，you'll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
     But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson？Two things：One is the ability to pay attention.We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive，or looking at the world through narrowed eyes？You can't just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don't say.The other is empathy （共情）.The more successful you are，the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite.Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
  
  （1）What is the function of the first paragraph？

  
  A．To illustrate a concept.
  B．To bring in a new viewpoint.
  C．To introduce the background.
  D．To put up an example.
  （2）What does the underlined word "eradicating" mean in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Getting rid of.
  B．Paying attention to.
  C．Making up for.
  D．Putting up with.
  （3）What should we do first for those in disasters？

  
  A．Get them to think straight.
  B．Enhance their confidence.
  C．Satisfy their primary needs.
  D．Teach them a new skill.
  （4）Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．Live and learn.
  B．Never teach a fish to swim.
  C．Put yourself in others' shoes.
  D．Don't teach old dogs new tricks.

     Oh no.Coach Cafferty just said my name.For that event.The two-hundred-metre breaststroke （蛙泳） for the coming meet!Not the backstroke （仰泳） I had wished and practiced for so long!
      Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip.Morgan pressed her elbow into my side，trying to offer me moral support.But it didn't help.My stomach sank to my knees like a brick in water.Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine. "Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.Or maybe Coach Cafferty just want to give the rest a laugh when I sink to the bottom of the pool，" I thought desperately.I walked towards Coach Cafferty and told her about my inability and my desire to quit this event.She frowned and asked if it was what I really wanted.
      I hesitated.Placing her hand on my shoulder，she started smiling and encouraged me to push myself outside of my comfort zone.
      The first practice was a disaster.I lost rhythm on my strokes.I messed up my turns.I even had to stop and catch my breath a few times.I felt everyone was laughing at me and my stomach twisted.How could I make it within just two weeks？But once I dragged myself out of the water，exhausted and frustrated，Coach Cafferty thumbed up to me，saying I did really well and just needed more confidence in myself and more time to practice.
      On the way back home，Morgan comforted me， "Dear，just ignore others.Race against yourself.Count your own strokes.Prove to yourself that you can do it." With these words said to me almost every day，before or after each practice，something gradually changed：both how I swam the breaststroke and how I felt about the event as well as myself.
      The meet finally came.I arrived at the pool hall，still a little bit worried.As each event clicked closer to mine，my knees shook.I bit my lip and looked out over the other swimmers.Morgan leaned forward. "Just swim your race.Remember，you can!"
