Prana, our beautiful dog, isn’t with us any more. She died several years ago. But while sharing our home, she brought such joy and love into our lives that we still miss her.
It was an autumn day in Minnesota, US. We were hit by a big snowfall for which no one was prepared. u
We have two apple trees in our backyard. Prana loved apples. When she went outside, she would catch an apple and sneak it into the house. The apples had been on the ground and were often muddy (沾满泥的). So I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house. Every time, she would turn her head so I wouldn’t see her hidden treasure. It was our little game.
One day it started to snow too early in the season, and Prana went outside. I noticed that she was madly digging holes and bringing the apples to the surface, so they could be seen above the snow. She seemed busy digging up as many apples as possible during her yard time. I wondered why she was doing this.
When I called her back into the house, she had her usual one apple in her mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The yard was full of birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for her bird and squirrel friends to eat. She knew that they didn’t have enough food to get through such an early winter! v
As I saw this beautiful act, tears filled my eyes. Prana taught us how to serve life with such grace (恩泽).

“Go for it!”
The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something.
“Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance and be brave.
“Go for it!” gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three tries, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision.
The conservative (保守的) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat (暂时的失败) in order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will shout loudly.
In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely.
There is no guarantee (保障) that the action you “Go for it!” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.
36. What does “Go for it!” mean?
A. You should go straight on.
B. You should take a chance and be brave.
C. You should go to school and ask teachers for help.
D. You should be very careful.
37. The expression“Go for it!” comes from _____________ football.
A. English B. French C. Japanese D. American
38. According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider _____________.
A. safety B. action C. result D. situation
39. In which of the following situations should we use the expression“Go for it!” now?

B. We try to improve our English for better education.
C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment
D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.

Fifty years ago four normal guys from Liverpool, England, recorded their first song Love Me Do. This music shook the world. No one knew that later the four boys would become the most famous and successful music group of all time. They are the Beatles.
New York, London, Hamburg… The Beatles may have traveled the world, but they never forgot where they came from – Liverpool. Liverpool is in the North West of England. All four Beatles were what English people call “Scousers” – people born in this city. Liverpool is a city with a rich history.
Many of the songs The Beatles wrote were about their hometown and personal lives. In the song Penny Lane, they sing of a small road from their Liverpool childhood that is “in my ears and in my heart”. The song Strawberry Fields Forever refers to a famous strawberry field in the city. The boys could go and pick fruit there.
The North West of England is famous for friendliness and helping others. This is found in The Beatles’ music. The song Hey Jude, which was played at the Olympic Opening Ceremony (仪式) in London in 2012, and is one of the most successful songs of all time, comes from real life.
