A friend's grandfather came to America from East Europe.After arriving at Ellis Island，he went into a cafeteria（自助餐厅） in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat.He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order.
Of course nobody did.Finally，a woman with a tray（餐盘） full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.
"Start out at that end，" she said，" Just go along the line and pick out what you want.At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay."
"I soon learned that's how everything works in America." The grandfather told a friend， "Life's a cafeteria.You can get anything you want as long as you are ready to pay the price.You can even get success.But you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you.You have to get up and get it yourself."
In fact，life is like a cafeteria.Don't wait for success to come to you.And success is in your own hands.
（1）Grandfather knew about the cafeteria before the woman told him about it.
（2）The woman told Grandfather how in a cafeteria.
（3）From the passage，we can infer（推断） that it was Grandfather's to eat in a cafeteria.
（4）The writer doesn't think it right in life.
（5）Life is like a cafeteria because we need both in a cafeteria and in life.

The whole day we walked around．Every now and then he put stones in our bags．To our surprise，he also took some stones out from our bags．But we thought he had just found better stones．
When we returned to the house，we were very tired．The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down．But uncle's backpack was half empty．
"Why did you put so many stones into our backpacks？"we asked．
"I didn't．You did．"He said．"You didn't know it，but I gave you a test today．I listened to every word you said．Whenever you were complaining（抱怨），I added a stone to your bags．Whenever you talked about something with positive（积极的） thinking，I took out a stone．And now look at your backpacks．"Our backpacks were full of stones．

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰）from his son．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．He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky，while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree quietly，just keeping still．
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon 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 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's always the same to human beings．We all have"two flying wings"in our hearts as well，but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort．We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the"branch"we are resting on breaks．
