三、阅读理解
A
I will never forget that unusual day! I kept hearing a strange noise while I was driving down a mountain in my car, so I stopped on the dirty road to check.There was a little green head looking at me in my backpack.
“What are you doing there, little frog (青蛙)?” I said to myself.Well, you can imagine my surprise when I heard this frog answering me in the voice of a frog.“Madam, I love to travel so much that I just can't control myself when I see a backpack.”
I just looked at him with my mouth open and didn't know what to say.
“Oh, dear Madam,” continued the frog, “I am Mongy.Nice to meet you! ”
“Nice to meet you, too! You can call me Christa.How is it possible that I can hear you, Mongy?”
“You wanted to get to know nature and the living things in the world, and you started paying attention to nature.Most people never pay attention to nature, so they only listen when they are young.But you heard the voices of nature calling you.You went even further than that and you tried to get along well with nature.That's why you can hear me now.”
It was at this moment that my life changed and I suddenly knew what my destiny (命运) would be from that day on.
