阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。  
When I worked in a large city, passing by someone experiencing homelessness wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me       , and I often felt, “I would be one of them        the kindness of God.”
I felt forced to do something, and as a single mom and newcomer to my field, I decided to  __    a plan that fit my limited budget. I began by        five to ten dollar bills each payday, and during the week, passing        out to those I met on the street.
Though a dollar felt like a small       , I realized how      _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me.        we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to        more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars       , but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had        enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I        that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to        them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for       . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel        taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone       . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your       .”
I can’t help but feel that my        with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I        by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has        mine.

It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, free yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent (重新审视) yourself. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.
Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper. How would you like to create your day? What would you like to paint on it? If you wake up in a negative mind, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your picture will not show hope, happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think actively, and have a positive intention(意图) for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an “attitude of gratitude(感恩)”.
Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way. You can experience each day in the beauty of the world-and the beauty of you who are in it! You find yourself changing from “I can’t” to “I can”. With a focus on positive intentions, you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “loser”.
You pay more attention to the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don’t want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day?
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us     .
A.We should make every day a new start.
B.January 1st is the most important day.
C.Learning is helpful in reinventing ourselves.
D.We needn’t change ourselves at all.
小题2: If you have daily positive intentions, you will     .
A.get a positive resultB.have a busy life
C.get gifts from othersD.be a complete loser
小题3:From the passage we can learn that     .
A.past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiser.
B.think actively and you will be a winner, not a loser.
C.the present is not where you should live for ever.
D.positive intentions for each day are of great help.

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
小题1:What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”
A.A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.
B.A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.
C.A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.
D.A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.
小题2:Why didn’t the father pick the boy up himself?
A.He was very lazy.
B.He thought the mother had picked him up.
C.He forgot to pick him up.
D.He was too tired to do it.
小题3:What can we learn from this passage?
A.Be careful in everything you do.
B.Love is the most important thing.
C.Learn to forgive others.
D.Everyone can make mistakes.
小题4:What do you think of the husband?

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want ---an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when your’re wrong---even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong also. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship an honour and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
小题1:What is likely to happen if you have disagreements with your friends?
A.An end to the friendships.
B.Getting experience for the later life.
C.Quarrelling with each other.
D.Sitting down and have a talk.
小题2:The author wrote the article mainly to tell us ________.
A.how to make friends
B.the benefits of making friends
C.what is a true friendship
D.how to mend a troubled friendship
小题3:The underlined word “nurture” probably means ________.
A.mendB.developC.keepD.accept
小题4:What causes the change of friendships?
A.Our characters.B.Our hobbies.
C.Our living habits.D.Our needs and lifestyle.
小题5:Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A.A true friend can never have a disagreement with each other.
B.Most troubled friendships can be mended.
C.You don’t need to apologize when you know you are wronged.
D.Friends are more important than jobs, homes and cars.

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau(衣橱)and picked out a wonderful skirt. “Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago .She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my attitude to life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them.
“Someday” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now . I’m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn’t have tomorrow.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited, those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry and sorry because I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, and every breath truly, is…a gift from God.
小题1:What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Every day is a gift
B.My poor sister
C.Value friendship every day
D.Every day is an important occasion
小题2:Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn’t wear it, because(   )
A.She wanted to wear it on special occasions
B.She kept it as a special gift for someone else
C.She saved it until she grew older
D.She wanted to keep it as a sweet memory
小题3:Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?
A.Spending more time staying with family every day.
B.Attending social activities as often as possible
C.Enjoying life and valuing every day.
D.Trying to get along well with friends

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   46  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   47 . The only solution is to reach   48  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   49  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   50 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   51 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   52 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   53 . The only direct and honest comparison is   54  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   55  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  56  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   57 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated(埋头苦干的)you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   58  someone is coming up fast   59  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   60 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   61  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who  62  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   63 . You are a more  64  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   65  is all you need.
