To son, Cecil,
Just a quick note before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主义). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water allover my hands and stomach. My parents __26__ me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation.

The girls were being supermean to me because they'd heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn't let my scars limit me and that I might __29__ a good model.
But after that __30__ at school, I was sure I'd made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.
The next day, I __31__ myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: "You can't __32_ forever, Tahlia. So what if you have a few scars?

Hallmark arrived in my hometown of Calcutta, India when I was 16. On Valentine’s Day(情人节), I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store. I remember wishing two things. One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism(资本主义) was ruining your culture.
The next Valentine’s Day, I still didn’t have a boyfriend, but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer. I can’t remember what it exactly said inside the card, but it hardly mattered. I know I’m not the only one who’s had the blues because of being single on Valentine’s Day.
It’s not just on Valentine’s Day that I’m reminded of these feelings. One night, my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive. The station was mostly full of college students, and later an older couple walked in. Just at that moment, a street musician started playing She’s Only a Woman to Me. The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world. On the train, I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station, and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员).
My view of romance has changed from when I was 16 in Calcutta to now, 23, and living in Manhattan. This year, I won’t focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day. I’ll spend Valentine’s Day with friends in New York City. But I won’t try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone. Instead, I’ll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome.
小题1:The underlined word “Hallmark” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to a .

A．city

B．street

C．store

D．man

小题2:We can infer that in the opinion of the writer’s father .

A．his daughter should have received a gift

B．people in India shouldn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day

C．people in India should welcome Western culture

D．his daughter should know more about capitalism

小题3:According to Paragraph 2, if someone has the blues, he or she is probably .

A．lucky

B．angry

C．excited

D．sad

小题4:What is implied in the passage?

A．The writer now has a boyfriend.

B．The writer now is afraid of Valentine’s Day.

C．The writer will go to Rome with her coupled-up friends.

D．The writer’s attitude towards Valentine’s Day has changed.

I was an introvert(内向的人) by 36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset.
But we all know 41 are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, 42 it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel 43 . Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a(an) 44 to that person, a beautiful thing.”
The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers or waiters. I’m talking about those 45 smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a 46 . And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were 47 kids. It’s 48 why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.
And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try.
Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My 54 reflects that nothing is too difficult if you 55 bravely.

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young．She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star．“I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,”she says．“I used to wear them to watch TV．”
Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt．The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”．It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights．Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest．But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must．
Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street．Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s．As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies．In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwoo d in The Blue Brothers．Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun．Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black．
Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement．The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation．UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully．But you don’t have to give up style for safety．The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge．So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach．

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people．Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much．Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably．A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions．In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives．
Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others．They need faith that they are doing "the right thing"．Shy people are very sensitive to criticism．It makes them feel inferior（自卑）．They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise．A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true．” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful．
Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect．It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths．Each one of us has his or her own characteristics．We are interested in our own personal ways．The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life．
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly about______．

A．the cause of shyness	B．the effect of shyness on people
C．the feelings of shy people	D．the questions in the minds of shy people

小题2:According to the writer, self-awareness is______．

A．harmful to people	B．a weak point of shy people
C．the cause of unhappiness	D．a good characteristic

小题3:What is the shy people's reaction to praise?

A．They are pleased by it．

B．They feel it is not true．

C．They arevery sensitive to it．

D．They feel they are worthy of it．

小题4:We can learn from the passage that shyness can ______．

A．block our chances for a successful life

B．help us to live up to our full development

C．enable us to understand ourselves better

D．have nothing to do with lack of self respect
