But    December 15th, 2013, a plane crashed into a river in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. He saw a woman in the     water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He behaved very    and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the river and    to the woman, and kept her head above the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not    .

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four．Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner．I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang．Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom．
The guests arrived．I introduced my two daughters to each of them．The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids．
Each of the guests paid too much attention to Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile．They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age．

But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child．I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined （使遜色）．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes．I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying．
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and held her in arms to make her feel better．
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point(特意做某事) to speak to the elder child first．

What’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.
Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” last Thursday by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用說) in the Olympics!
“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.
Just because Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.
Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(雜技演員) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(靈活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳臺) and kept on training.
Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(堅強地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.
Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.
小題1:What does ‘dark horse’ mean? It means _____________.
A．a(chǎn) horse which is dark
B．someone who is expected to win
C．a(chǎn) horse which likes living in the dark
D．someone whose win is unexpected
小題2:Where did Han Xiaopeng take China’s first gold on snow?
A．In China .B．In Italy.C．In America.D．In Australia.
小題3:What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?
A．He had the agility and wasn’t afraid of the high platform.
B．He was good at skiing though he was only 12 years old.
C．He was born in the north of China and liked sports on snow.
D．He had the talent and he had won a world gold medal before.
小題4:Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．He was 23 when he won the gold medal at the winter Olympics.
B．He made two almost perfect jumps and got the highest score.
C．No one had won the gold before Han Xiaopeng at the winter Olympics.
