Here are some other common symbols in dreams:

Mountains: Mountains are difficulties, so to dream of successfully climbing a mountain can show a true feeling of achievement.

Big waves: Water is peaceful in life. But a big wave(波浪) in dreams probably means an emotional(情感的) worry.

Food: Food is a symbol of knowledge, because it nourishes the body just as information nourishes the brain. However, it could just be food.

One day I went to a store with a list. “Excuse me,” I said. A lady with glasses looked up, saying, “I’m Miss Bee. Come closer and let me look at you. I want to be able to describe you to the police if something is missing from the store.”

“I’m only a little girl, not a thief !”I was surprised.

“But I think you’re potential (有可能的) ,”she said.

“I need these,”I said, holding up my list.

“So what? I am not a person who works for you. Go to get them.”she said.

The store was a puzzle to me. It took me two hours to find everything on the list. “That packet of beans is only 29 cents, but you asked me for 35 cents.” I corrected her. She didn’t seem unhappy, just looked at me over her glasses.

The following summer I visited Miss Bee some times a week. She always found ways to fool me. Or shortly after I remembered the places of something on the shelf, she arranged (重排) the shelves again and made me hunt for them again. By the end of the summer the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.

One morning I was to get a packet of chocolate.“Miss Potential, what did you learn this summer?she said.“That you’re a meanie (刻薄鬼)!” I answered angrily. But she laughed, “Well, I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons to help them. When you get older, you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! It was absurd.

Until one day my daughter said,“Could you finish my math problems for me?”“How will you ever learn to do it yourself if I do it for you?”I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store where I had learned the hard way to check my bill. Now I have known what Miss Bee did for me. She is my good teacher.

3. Which word can best describe the writer’s feelings for Miss Bee in the last paragraph?

A. Thankful.            B. Hateful.                    C. Uncomfortable.         D. Unkind.

Run for Class President

Two months ago, when our class election(选举) started, I decided to run for class president. I enjoyed speaking in public and got along well with people, so I felt it easy to win. But I was     13   that people would feel bad for me if I lost.

I was busy preparing in the following week. My plan wasn’t to make promises to do things I couldn’t    14    but to show my class why I wanted to be president. I put up my posters in hallways and in the classroom. I also spent three hours writing my speech, saying that I was the one they could turn to whenever they had a problem. Since I was     15   prepared, I felt that my chances of winning were strong.

However, when I gave my speech on Election Day, the response (反应) wasn’t what I had    16   . Few people actually listened. When it was my opponent’s (对手的)turn, everyone was screaming his name.

I don’t regret putting time and energy into the election because I’ve learned that things aren’t always going the way I expect. And moments of failure like this build    20    —since then I’ve learned to face disappointment and grown stronger.
