People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.You should say “Thank you”when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you”is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.“Excuse me”is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me”first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.Let’s learn to say “Thank you”and “Excuse me”.56.

Suddenly there was something wrong with the plane when it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only three parachutes(降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.“I must go and mend the machine.”said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do so he just jumped out.The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to take part in an important sports game. I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.”He picked up a pack and jumped out.Two men were left(留了下来), an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old but you’re still young. You take the last parachute.”the young mountain climber smiled, “Don’t worry, “he said, “we can both jump to safety because there are still two parachutes.

You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once(一旦) you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?“Follow Your Heart”by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts(想法) stop you from getting your dream, the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step(一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream.There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will bring you better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills(技能) and find new interests.“Follow Your Heart”is __________.A.
