The aim(目的) of students who came to school is to study. But to study requires(需要) a right way，or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.

　　The best time for reading is morning，because in the morning，the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason，we can get good results(结果).

　　In studying we must have patience(耐心). If we have not known a text well，we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one.

　　When we are studying，we must put our hearts into the book，or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.

　　We must always ask "whys". If it is not well understood，write it down and ask our teachers or our parents，or friends. In any possible way，we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better.

Though there are many ways for studying，yet the above mentioned(提到的) will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.

“Well, we're in our new house. Let's get a new pet to get along with it,” Mrs. Brown said to her husband.” That sounds like a pretty good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper？” “No. Let's go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go,” she said.
The next morning the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. “We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes,” Mr Snow said, “So I need to ask you some questions.”
After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn't need a big house or a big yard. A small dog would bark（吠）and warn them if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care, they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn't checked her yet. So Mr Snow told them to return on Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said, “Shadow has had all of her shots(预防针). She will be healthy.” The browns thanked the doctor and took Shadow home.

Dear Sigmund Friend

I am a Grade 9 student. I have   21   problem, and I do not know how to deal   22  it.

I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice   23    to do it. I often stay up late to complete   24   , and then feel tired the next day.

Sometimes, I want to   25   to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my homework and   26    on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies   27   playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth   28    so hard.

I am   29   a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great value to me. I hope to    30    you soon.

Best wishes

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. They was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

    That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

2.The writer was surprised that _________.

    A. the woman was sitting by her window  B. the woman’s window was still terrible

3. “It dawned on me” probably means “_______”.

    A. I began to understand it             B. it cheered me up

    C. I knew it grew light                 D. it began to get dark

4.It’s clear that ________.

    A. the writer had never met the woman before    B. the writer often washed the window

    C. they both worked as cleaners         D. they lived in a small town

5.From the passage, we can learn _______.
