Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk？
First， you had to learn how to balance （平衡） yourself and stand． You fell down， and then got back up． You laughed sometimes and cried at other times． After much practice， you finally learned how to balance yourself． You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power﹣you'd stand everywhere you could． It was a happy time﹣you did it!
Now the next step﹣walking． You'd seen others do it． It didn't look that hard﹣just move your legs while you were standing． Wrong﹣more difficult than you ever imagined． But after you tried again and again and again， you understood how to walk．
If people found you walking， they cheered， "Oh， look at what the kid is doing．" This encouraged you!But look back on those days when you were the little child﹣how many times did you try when no one was watching， or when no one was cheering？ You couldn't wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps．You learned how to encourage yourself．
So， keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something．

Sarah the seagull（海鸥） and her mom lived in New York by the sea．

But one day it started to get colder． The little fish that were always swimming in the waves were a lot harder to find． There were no more people coming to the beach， so no one was there to feed Sarah and her mother any sandwiches or chips．

It's late evening in the middle of the winter． The snow is deep， but off I go into the wild．Suddenly， I hear it： the howl（嚎叫） of wolves． Excitedly， I walk faster in the direction of the howling．
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year． It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them． Like wolves， however， I don't work alone． I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park．
Humans have always feared wolves． From fairy tales to movies， the wolf is always the bad guy a danger to humans and other animals． In the 1920s， the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park．As a result，the number of elk（麋鹿） in the park increased． The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves．This， in turn， stopped trees from growing along the rivers， doing great harm to the environment there．
The return of wolves has already made a big difference． To begin with， the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers， so new trees have been able to grow there． The trees become home to new wildlife， such as birds， and provide food for more animals．
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment． It has also helped the local people make more money， Tourists visit the area，stay in the local hotels， and eat in the local restaurants．
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me， I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone．And happily，it is playing a good guy in this story．

In a few hours Sam would be flying to Germany． We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence of my beach﹣side house．
Such a moment was not the first time for me．On Sam's first day of kindergarten （幼儿园），I felt his stress when holding his hand．He looked at me﹣as he did now． But I said nothing till the school bus came．About ten years later，I drove him to the college． He was sick but I didn't know then． I thought he was just too tired． I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life． Again，___________．
Now， as I stood before him， I thought of those opportunities we parents all let pass． A boy graduates from school，a daughter gets married．We seldom find a quiet moment to tell them what they have meant to us． Or what they might face in the future．
Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy．Then he became the best baseball player in high school． His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair．I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent，but proud that later he chose English literature．One day，I told Sam I regretted never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working．Sam decided to learn German in Berlin，even though his friends thought it meaningless．
The night before he was to leave， I failed to say any words again． Maybe， I thought， it wasn't necessary to say anything．
What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him？ But as I stood before Sam，I knew it does matter． My father and I loved each other． However，I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words．
"Sam，"I said，"if I could have picked，I would have picked you．"I wasn't sure he understood what I meant． Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me，saying"thank you"．My eyes misted over （模糊）． Then， the moment ended， and Sam left home．
That was seven weeks ago， and now I think about him when I walk along the beach near my home on weekends． Thousands of miles away， Sam might be busy walking in the street of Berlin．

It was a cold，rainy day.My mother and I drove to the mountains.It was dangerous to make the two﹣hour journey along the highway in such weather.I didn't want to take the risk.But my mother advised that we go to see something at the top of the mountain.
After ten minutes' driving，we stopped the car and got out.Walking along a path，we turned at a comer.Gradually，the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.From the top of the mountain，I saw several fields full of flowers，shining like a carpet （地毯）before us.It looked as if the sun spilled （播洒）gold down the mountain.
A lot of questions came to my mind.Who created such beauty？Why？How？
As we moved on，we saw a sign that read， "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking. "
The first answer was， "One Woman一Two Hands，Two Feet，and Very Little Brain. " The second was， "One at a Time. " The third， "Started in 1971. "
On our way home，I was so shocked by what we had seen. "She changed the world.One bulb （一株）at a time.She started almost 50 years ago.It was probably just the beginning of an idea，but she kept at it. " I said， "Imagine，if I had a dream and worked at it，just a little bit every day，what might I have achieved？"
My mother looked at me，smiling. "Start tomorrow. " She said， " Better yet，start today. "

| C． |
sticking to a dream will bring a big change |
| D． |
we should enjoy every moment in life |
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self﹣improvement power． However， there's always something staring at us right under our nose but we don't see it． The only time we think of unlocking our self﹣improvement power is when everything gets worst．
When do we realize that we need to change diets？ When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us． When do we stop eating candies and chocolates？ When all of our teeth have fallen off． When do we realize that we need to stop smoking？ When our lungs have gone bad． We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult．
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self﹣improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart． We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change， but change becomes more painful when we ignore（忽视） it．
Change will happen， like it or hate it． At one point or another． we are all going to finally unlock our self﹣improvement power not because the world says so，but because we realize it's for our own good．
Happy people don't just accept change； they embrace （拥抱）it． Unlocking our self﹣improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are． It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change．
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people． She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people． Over the years， that is what Jane has believed． Every time a great crowd come， she steps back and locks herself up in a room． Jane not only believes in her story， but lives it!
Self﹣improvement may not be everybody's favorite word， but if we look at things in a different way， we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved． Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life． Reading books every day would build up knowledge． And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self﹣improvement power will we realize that we're beginning to take things light and become happy．

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life．He told them"You cannot judge a tree，or a person by only one season and its true nature﹣the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end，when all the seasons are up．"
If you give up when it's winter，you will miss the promise of your spring，the beauty of your summer，harvest of your fall．Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest．

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰） from his son． He had never seen such beautiful falcons
before． He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly．
After several months， the king came to see how the training was going on． He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky， while the other one was staying on the branch（树枝） of a tree quietly without moving．
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make it fly． But none of them succeeded． One day， while the king was taking a walk in the forest， an idea came to his mind． He decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to solve the problem． Then he sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once．
The next morning， the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely． "It is unbelievable!" shouted the king． "How could you make it happen？"
The farmer replied， "It's very easy． I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested．" It is always the same to humans． We all have "two flying wings in our hearts as well， but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we feel safe and comfortable． We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the "branch" we are resting on breaks．
