He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the beach. As he looked down the beach, he saw someone moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that a young man was reaching down to the shore, picking something up and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer, he called out, Good morning! What are you doing?The young man stopped, looked up and answered, Throwing starfish into the ocean.I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?The sun is up, and the tide(潮汐) is going out, and if I dont throw them in, theyll die.But, young man, dont you see that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it? You cant possibly make a difference!The young man listened politely, then picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, It made a difference for that one. And he kept throwing starfish.There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us can make a difference in life. If we know that, we have the power to shape the future.（1）When did the writer meet the young man?（2）Why did the young man throw starfish into the ocean?（3）What can we learn from the passage?3. （12分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。While many young people were enjoying the summer vacation, Zach Bonner was working his hardest.

Its always pleasant to read some interesting books in our spare time. In a modern life full of stress, it is our common wish to read some imaginary works and look for relaxation from the stress in life.Reading literature is more than fun, it also allows us to get knowledge.

It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems, stories and plays, and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. At last we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the writer says and how he or she says it. In some ways, we explore the human condition and study the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature helps us think clearly and encourages us to open minds.So we can certainly say literature is of great importance to us.
