         In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her
    soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E.    1   By now, the girl knew
    she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told
    the truth that she had said the wrong letter.    2    
         As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty.
    Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl's courage and honesty, even when it
    cost her the contest.    3    
         Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never
    get caught.
         This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her. But that's just it: She would know she did wrong.    4    
         This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the
    prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give
    her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the
    moment. 
            5    .
    A. So she won the contest.
    B. As a result, she lost the contest.
    C. The judges wanted to give her another chance.
    D. It's been said, "If you cheat, you make yourself cheap."
    E. It's so true that the choices you make today make what you are tomorrow.
    F. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said.
    G. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.

    为多余项。
    A. Gift giving proven to be valuable
    B. Memories from gift giving
    C. Moments and events for gift giving
    D. Various functions of gift giving
    E. Gift giving as a wasteful practice
    F. Gift giving as a two-way social activity
                                                                             Gift Giving
    1.______
         There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming
    ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations
    in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university,
    often require gift giving.
    2.______
         What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me
    a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds
    up or confirms a social obligation (义务).
    3.______
         Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say
    that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel
    special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say
    "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things
    that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very
    expressive ones.
    4.______ 
         People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago
    described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I
    appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they
    were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep
    the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that
    the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her.
    5.______
         Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the
    anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful.
    Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many
    are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.

         1  She described all the things she had to do－one was to make her bed－from the moment she
    woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed
    for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest. 2
        Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in
    42 years－and nothing bad had happened. "And you know what?"she said. "I don't dry my dishes
    anymore, either."
            3 One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other
    was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理)
    about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The
    problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care
    of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. 4
        So what is the solution? There's an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first.
    On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise,
    leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. 5 The choice is yours: whatever
    makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano.
    Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother
    kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.
    A. This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破).
    B. Above all, you needn't do anything for yourself regularly.
    C. They put everyone else's needs ahead of their own.
    D. However, she went along with my idea.
    E.  Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
    F. The point is to do something for yourself every day.
    G. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

         Here are some ways to help you have a happier and more successful life:
          1  Instead of saying, "Why is this happening to me?" you say, "What can I learn from this?" Trust that
    anything difficult in life is temporary. Then life will get better.  2  Without life's challenges, we would never
    know what we are truly made of. Therfore, we become stronger and more confident in the process.
         3  It actually works! Don't say it doesn't work until you've tried it. We all have a blueprint for our lives
    and making plans will help us realize it.
         Take care of people around you honestly.   4   If you truly care about your friends, family or someone
    else, they'll stick with you through high and low because they know you care about them.
         Refuse to compare your progress with others. It will only serve to destroy your confidence. Everyone
    is at different stages in their lives. If you understand that you're right where you're supposed to be, then it
    won't matter what others are doing. You are unique with special qualities, talents, skills and so on.  5  
    A. Pay attention to your imagination.
    B. The power of making plans cannot be ignored.
    C. Try to learn from the difficult situations you meet.
    D. Everything you've experienced has been in preparation.
    E. There is no one like you, so how can you compare yourself to others?
    F. It is through the toughest times we learn what we're capable of doing.
    G. People can see right through you and can feel whether you're honest or not.

         Most of us lead a busy life.   1  We think, "If I reached my goal, then I would be happy", or "If I
    could get a better job, then I would enjoy life." But why not enjoy life right now?
         Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings.   2  "There is a great
    big world of wonder and beauty around us!" And as Brodersen explains, "Look for the beauty of the
    sunrise and of a friend's smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not
    normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up."
         Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease
    your stress. Take me for example.   3  One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.
         Thirdly, don't take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the
    enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them?   4  As Wayne Lawton explains, "Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what's in it for me? Happiness is found in
    putting other's interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a
    dead-end street."   5  
    A. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.
    B. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.
    C. Driven by the "urgent", we forget to enjoy life.
    D. So please treasure relationship.
    E. You don't need to travel far to find beauty.
    F. Be aware of beauty in nature.
    G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.

         For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatching TV and buying things by phone.
       1     In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes ,jewelry,
    food, toys, and many other things.
           2     For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European
    countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the
    French spend about $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
         In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then
    the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the
    largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company.     3

    homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time,
    other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.    4    Many Europeans usually worry about the
    quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them ,and they believe they cannot be
    sure about the quality of the things on TV.
          5    They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to
    work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
    A. Now teleshopping is starting in European.
    B. They call teleshopping "Junk on the air".
    C. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
    D. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping    will help them sell more things.
    E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different
         from the American companies.
    F. Teleshopping is popular among people.
    G. German teleshopping business is controlled by American.
