    When my son unexpectedly volunteered for the Marines, I was busy writing my novels and giving little thought to the men and women in the army.
    My son, John Schaeffer, recently came home _36__ from the Middle East. He slowly appeared from a broken car; John _37__ all night from a base near Washington, _38__ he had landed the day before.

    My wife gave me a great gift: _43__ alone with my boy. John was tired and lay _44__ on his bed. I lay down next to him and was grasping his hand the whole time. I just wanted to be certain that the nightmares I’d had about John being killed were _45__ .

    With the  49___ over, under and around me came incredible tiredness. I slept with his voice dying away. It was the first good _50__ I’d had in months. I woke and John was asleep next to me. Sitting by his bed watching him breathe, I found myself praying and _51__ for all the fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, husbands and wives of those who were not coming home. For the first time in my life, I was weeping for _52___.
    Before my son went to war I would never have shed tears for them .My son _53__ me. He taught me that our men and women in uniform are not the _54__”.  They are our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. Sometimes shedding ears for strangers is a holy _55___. Sometimes it’s all we can do.

    I can still remember when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to  11  me．I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother，  12 to look at each other．Soon we lost the    13  and started playing with each other．
    In the 7th grade，I first lost touch with her．She was  14 family problems and I deserted her to be with the "cooler people" because they knew she had been a   15       person．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had  16 ．However，every summer we could always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked．
    It was last year when I noticed the problem．I guess I was too devoted in high school to   17 she needed someone there for her．Anyway，she made a new best friend and so did I．Then 1 didn’t know why，but she started cutting herself!
    She then was diagnosed（诊断）with clinical（临床的）depression．At first，1 was very   18 ，but we still stayed in   19 ．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically   20 her and people were calling her   21 ，and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
    Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I  22 you so much，and you didn’t even know you were   23 me．”
    We both cried．And I guess a kind of   24 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’t as cool as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someone there．If you desert them，you will only be  25 yourself. So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.

    I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions（反应）. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
    My husband, the youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour（气味） and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled（摸索）with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
    The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.
    Then I really felt it — I embraced（拥抱）the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed   all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.
    The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”
    I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
    In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.
    小题1: The underlined part “a piece of cake” in Paragraph 1 means _______.
    A．easyB．embarrassingC．movingD．comfortable
    小题2:Why did people around the author in the McDonald step back?
    A．Because they were very polite to the two men.
    B．Because they were moved by the two men.
    C．Because the two men smelt terrible.
    D．Because the two men seemed unfriendly.
    小题3: Why did the two men only buy coffee?
    A．Because they didn’t have enough money.
    B．Because they didn’t feel hungry.
    C．Because they knew others would help them.
    D．Because they were looked down upon.
    小题4:How did the teacher think of the author’s project?
    A．Hard to believe.B．Interesting to read.
    C．Very puzzling.D．Very satisfying.
    小题5: What did the author think she learn from the story?
    A．A friend in need is a friend indeed
    B．Helping others can bring pleasure to many people.
    C．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
    D．Don’t judge people according to their appearance.

      How to make friends with people from a different culture? The rules are as follows:
    Appreciate the person
    Most Americans like to be recognized as individuals as someone special with unique, personalities. Therefore never say,“you are from America so I want to be your friend.” Also don’t imply that the reason why you approached them is that you wanted someone to practice your English with . That turns people off. Instead try saying,”“you seem like a real nice and interesting person and I would like to get to know you better .’ This way , they are much more inclined to be friendly because you see them as a three dimensional person and appreciate them for who they are in the inside . And by doing so , you not only learn about Americans and practice your English , but also gain a real friend in the process
    Quit Calling Us Foreigners.
    Please avoid calling a foreigner especially in his face . The word makes people feel like an outsider , and even unwelcome , suggesting separation and insurmountable difference , widening an already existing gap in the situation. When Americans travel , they rarely say,“I’m foreign to your place .” They tend to say ,”I’m new in town . I’m new here.” The reason is because new and unfamiliar things can become old and familiar. But can foreign things become native? You catch my drift.
    Just Do It .
    Some students like to be told about American culture but are less interested in spending the time and effort to actually experience it .As Americans always say ,“get your hands dirty.” You should have first hands on experience, or you will never really know anything.
    Find that Common Language.
    Now I just must stress the importance of finding a common language. By that I don’t mean English, Chinese , German ,French,etc. I mean finding something you have in common with another person on a spiritual and philosophical level: likes , dislikes, worldviews, ways of thinking and attitudes toward life. And to start , you must first enhance your knowledge of the particular culture from which your potential
    小题1: The underlined sentence“get your hands dirty” means     .
    A get involved   B talk about American culture    C star with dirty work   D Don’t wash your hands too often
    小题2: Americans prefer to make friends with those who    .
    A  avoid talking about their homeland     B  recognize their personalities
    C  obey rules of communicating with friends   D  needn’t practice English while playing together
    小题3:According to the passage , which of the following is friendly?
    A   I am longing to make friends with an American.
    B   This is my friend Tom , who is a foreigner.
    C   There must be a gap between us in many things.
    D   You ‘ve  got a great personality
    小题4:  In the last paragraph , the author suggests we should   
    A  Learn at least one foreign language well
    Bfind common interests or opinions with our potential new friend
    C make sure we can understand each other
    D ask where our potential new friends come from

    One day in my class，Maria shared her feelings about money，“Money worries me.I think I want to live without money because I hate it.I HATE MONEY.”We were all touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us.After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems.She hesitated to accept my offer，and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve.I quickly promised her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to.I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt，judgments，or impossible tasks.All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.
    Maria still resisted my offer，and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people.“I'll never understand money，”she said.“My facts are meaningless.”“I don't deserve to have money.”“I never have enough.”“I have too little to manage.”“My financial position isn't worth looking at.”and the most devastating one of all，“I just can't do it.”
    Going home that day，I couldn't get Maria out of my mind：her attitude conveyed the same negativity and  fear that I believed annoyed many people.I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively.My counseling(咨询)has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self­doubts and fear for survival.Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't believe we can do it well，and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.
    On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life，but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were.It locks us up in self­doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power，our spirit.
    小题1:The underlined word“devastating”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
    A．convincingB．interestingC．shockingD．valuable
    小题2:Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ________.
    A．in the same financial troubleB．in the same financial condition
    C．of the same family backgroundD．of the same feeling over the issue
    小题3:As for money managing，the author intended to tell Maria how to ________.
    A．overcome her fearsB．make wise decisions
    C．avoid making mistakesD．learn the necessary skills
    小题4:Maria wouldn't take the author's offer of help for fear of________.
    A．being forced to share her money with others
    B．having to do something beyond her reach
    C．being found guilty of making impossible errors
    D．showing her judgment about money
    小题5:According to the author，people's anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of ________.
    A．lifeB．valuesC．spiritD．power

    When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it home for the holiday. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, colors, and ornaments (饰品) shining against the green of a pine.
    "Where did it come from?" I asked.
    "I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when in great need... such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."
    The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal（水晶）Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly（难看）at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
    "It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look for a better one. But I couldn't be fussy(挑剔的)."
    "Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect."
    It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.
    1. What did his mother's Christmas tree look like?    

    2. From the passage we can infer (推断) that ________ .
    A. all the soldiers had the three-day holiday      
    B. the writer could not go home for Christmas
    C. the writer spent his first Christmas during the war
    D. not all the soldiers went home for Christmas during the war
    3. From the passage, we can conclude that ________ .
    A. his mother didn't like Christmas trees  
    B. the writer didn't like the tree cut by someone else
    C. the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas trees
    D. his mother didn't want to have a Christmas tree during wartime
    4. The best title for this passage would be ________ .
    A. The Perfect Christmas Tree              
    B. How to Choose a Christmas Tree
    C. How Soldiers Spent Their Christmas      
    D. A Christmas with an Ugly Christmas Tree
    5. What does the writer mean by saying "All Christmas trees are perfect"?
    A. Nothing is as perfect as Christmas.         
    B. Once at home, everything is so nice.
    C. During the war, trees are hard to find.     
    D. All Christmas trees are the most beautiful.

    I am a person who does not like to wait．I don' t like lines, being put on hold when making a phone call, arriving at an appointment to find that my companion will be delayed and of course, I don * t like waiting rooms．
    However, I realize that my agony(痛苦） will not be good for me, as an increasingly, crowded world can only mean one thing—more waiting．
    Owing to this, I have taken a measure and decided to turn my disappointment to productive ends．In short, I am looking for what I call "waiting in line books"．
    These are books that contain material designed for being read in shortened words, so there is no extended story line to lose track of．Another requirement is that they be small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket．
    The other day I went to the supermarket．Convinced that the rain would keep most people away, I was surprised to see that the place was crowded with shoppers．Every checkout was open—and jammed! But I could take out my pocket book and go to work．
    The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library．Look at these titles: One Hundred Things Every American Should Know; The Poetry of Robert Frost; Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers; Still More Toasts．I have learned interesting and enriching things and much knowledge from these books．
