“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!”
Annabel, my close friend, stunned me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting. “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!”
My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a br

ief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.
In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.”
“How many did you have on your list?” I asked.
“Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ ”
My jaw dropped. “What did you do?”
“Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ ”
“And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ ”
My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!
God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.
小题1: What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage?

A．The writer is a good athlete.	B．The writer scolds herself too much.
C．She is encouraging the writer.	D．A gold medal is not a big deal.

小题2: What does the writer intends to tell us through the second and third paragraphs?

A．She has low self-esteem over some small things.

B．She often makes serious mistakes in daily life.

C．She is a third-grade teacher.

D．She cares too much about her appearance.

小题3: We can infer that the underlined word “slob” might be _____.

A．something untidy	B．someone dangerous
C．something dirty	D．someone lazy

小题4: What does the writer mean by the last sentence of the passage?

A．She is ready to turn to God for help.

B．She will be kind to all children.

C．She won’t insult herself as well as others.

D．She is willing to be a child of God.

One day last month after I received my salary, I went shopping with my little son.   36   in the crowded store, I had my pocket   37  and my whole salary was gone with it.

How could I tell my wife?
I felt very sad and even   41  for losing the money when I got home. To make up for my   42  mistake, I gathered all my strength to give our house a thorough cleaning and then   43  a wonderful meal and cooked a special dish my wife loved to   44  her.
When she came home, I   45  a smile to greet her. She was   46  to see the neat house and   47  meal. We sat at the table and began to eat. I told my story   48 . She did not respond. It was as if she had not heard my words.
“I’ve   49  my salary,” I murmured to her again.
“I see,” she did not shout at me as I had   50 . She didn’t lose her   51 . So I was afraid she was trying hard to   52  her anger.
A moment later, my wife was still   53  and seemed to be enjoying her favorite dish. At last I could not help asking, “I’ve lost the money. Why not shout at me?” She   54  her eyes, looking at me and said, “Oh, on the contrary, I’m thinking about how to comfort you. It’s the   55  who is to blame.

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．easy

B．embarrassing

C．moving

D．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.

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．convincing

B．interesting

C．shocking

D．valuable

小题2:Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ________.

A．in the same financial trouble	B．in the same financial condition
C．of the same family background	D．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 fears	B．make wise decisions
C．avoid making mistakes	D．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．life

B．values

C．spirit

D．power

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．
On a recent visit to the general store, I placed my order at the counter along with six or seven other people．The one female employee seemed to have her hands full as she rushed about．"Just be patient," she said to me．
No problem．I quietly opened my dictionary of prose （散文） and poetical quotations． Perhaps the other customers regarded me as a bookish, lonely soul．But little did they realize that I was enjoying the company of Shakespeare, Thoreau, Homer and Ben Johnson．
小题1:According to the passage, the world ______．

A．needs to produce many materials to use	B．is becoming more and more crowded
C．loses tracks of story line increasingly	D．is crowded with shoppers everywhere

小题2:How did the author overcome his agony of waiting?

A．By reading books designed to be read in shortened words．

B．By arriving early for an appointment．

C．By taking measures to produce some books for readers．

D．By keeping most people away from the supermarket for some reasons．

小题3:Which of the following can't be carried in the author's pocket?

A．One Hundred Things Every American Should Know

B．The Poetry of Robert Frost
