One day when I was 5， my mother scolded （責(zé)罵） me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot， I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse， for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.

Today， I know if my child had done what I did， I would have scolded my child， and told him about how expensive this new screen door was， and I would have delivered a spanking （打屁股） for it. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out， creating an opening， a breach （裂縫） in the defense against unwanted insects.

For years， every time I saw that corner of the screen， it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years， every time I saw a fly buzzing （嗡嗡） in the kitchen， I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing， silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home， making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson， one that a spanking or stern （嚴(yán)厲的） words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all， it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.

Having a great collection of books at home doesnt really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your fathers father， and it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.

From my point of view， reading is very important in our daily life. For example， reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination， and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science， even if you dont work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.

Secondly， reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes， we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people， they often face the same problems as we all do.

In short， I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture， expressing correctly， having a rich vocabulary， being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.

8. In the authors opinion， a person has many books at home only to ____.

A. make his house look more beautiful

B. show that his father is a learned person

A. people in stories are always unbelievable?? B. books may help us solve problems

“Notre Dame is our history， our literature; part of our spirit， the place of all our great events， our wars， our liberations， the center of our lives” French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in front of the still burning Paris landmark and promised to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral.

The cause of the fire was not known， but French media quoted the Paris fire brigade （消防隊） as saying the fire is “potentially linked” to a 6 million—euro （$6.88 million） renovation project on the churchs spire and its 250 tons of lead.
