　　When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.

　　After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.

　　On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.

　　My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.

　　Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.

　　Over the years, I came to know the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.

　　But there was an even larger lesson that I did not learn until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have been aware of that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.

　　63. What did the writer’s family do for him when he was seven?

　　A They built a farm of ants B They bought a few ants

　　C They caught a lot of ants D They found an ant city.

　　64. Which statement is True according to the passage?

　　A. The writer broke the glass box because it made his face dirty.

　　B. The ants died one by one because the tunnels were destroyed.

　　C. Unlike people, teamwork is not so important for the ants.

　　D. Giving up is a good way when we meet trouble.

　　65. What did the writer come to realize a few years later?

　　A. Working together is useless. B. Teamwork is important.

　　C. He can’t accept adversity. D. Working alone is amazing.

　　PARIS, FRANCE,—As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30 pm and his parents worked until 6:00 pm. Alain looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.

　　Today, Alain still climbs buildings. In 2003, he climbed a building in London dressed as Spiderman to advertise the movie. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101(one of the tallest buildings in the world). To reach the top of a building, Alain uses only his hands and special shoes.

　　Alain climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity(慈善团体)--- for children and the homeless. When he climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream—something you really want to do – it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it”.
