Whenever I’m invited to somebody’s house for the first time, I’ll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.

My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school — Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(職業(yè)的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.

If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.

__▲ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange(排列) our books, and get on with them. It’s such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.

It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.

1.The books on the writer’s own shelves are organized according to _________.

A.their prices B.their writers

C.his personal interests D.the periods of his life

2.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?

A.Every book is worth reading. B.Each bookshelf holds a special dream.

C.Book collections tell so much about a person. D.The books a person reads depend on his choices.

3.The writer seems to agree that ____________.

A.we’d better not put our books on the floor

B.the way we arrange our books shows our tastes

C.the books at our bedside are usually more important

D.we can know about a person by reading the message he sends

4.It can be learned from the passage that the writer is probably__________.

A.a book lover B.a story teller C.a shelf collector D.a fashion designer

Long long ago, there lived a man and a woman who had seven sons. The couple wanted a daughter very much, and finally, they had a girl. She was very pretty and her parents loved her very much. One day the father needed water for the child, so he sent the seven brothers to a well (井) in the forest to get it. Once there, though, the boys began to fight and the water jug (壺) fell into the well. The boys looked into the well and thought of their father. They were afraid to go home.

Hours passed. "Where are those boys?" shouted the angry father. "They are probably playing a game and have forgotten about the water. I wish they were all turned into ravens (烏鴉) !"And when he looked up, he saw seven black birds flying away. The father was shocked. "What have I done? he thought. But it was too late. He could not take back his words.

Later, the girl grew up and discovered she had brothers. The story of their bad luck influenced her deeply, and she decided to find them. For years, she searched and did not stop. She made up her mind to find them. Finally, she found their home. To enter, she needed a special key made from a chicken bone, which she did not have. The girl thought for a moment, and then took a knife and cut off one of her fingers. With it, she opened the front door and went inside. On a table, there were seven plates and seven cups. She ate and drank a little from each of them. In the last cup, she accidently dropped a ring that her parents had given her.

Later hat day, the ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched. When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. The raven recognized it at once—it was his parents' ring. "I wish our sister were here, "he said, "and then we could be free. " At that moment, their sister ran to them, and suddenly the ravens were human again. The brothers kissed their sister and all eight of them went home together happily.

It’s been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy (海軍). You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief (最高統帥). In fact, it all began from the half a year’s basic training, which I will never forget. The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without_________and long painful runs in the soft sand. I always felt cold, wet, hungry and painful.

The training also needed to find those who could_________in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I’d like to talk about one little thing.

Every morning in the training, my instructors (教官) would appear in our rooms. The first thing they did was to_______our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.

It was a difficult task. But every morning we were required to make our beds_________. It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.

If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the first task of the day. It will bring you a small_________of success, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can’t do the_________things right, you will hardly be able to do the big things right.

Changing the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever _______ a day in uniform (制服,軍服). Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

In general, if you want to change the world,_________off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!
