Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of   31  other people’s cars as well. It was pretty   32  outside and I had no plans to   33  to be in the bright sun. She   34  wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passersby for free. I had seen little kids  35  and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt   36  , I decided to help her.  37 she asked me, “What if we   38  this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and   39  her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with   40  ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n)   41  with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the   42 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the   43  to do something for others.
All that seemed   44  and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to   45  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   46  others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   47  to help clean cars. The passersby were   48  and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming   49 ! I feel blessed by being   50  by such wonderful and loving souls.

My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body. Through the years I would   21  what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   22  was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy”. She said, “No. Many people are   23 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed   24  she asked me again. Since making my first   25 , I had often thought of the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are   26  fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
  27  the years, Mother asked me a couple more   28  and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting   29  every year, my child.” Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was crying when it was our   30  to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. Mom asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was   31  when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a   32  between her and me. She saw the   33  on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really   34  your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your   35 .” I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?” She replied, “No, it is   36  on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough   37  and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry   38  when you need it.” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a   39  one. It is sympathetic to the pain of   40 .

One day an old woman was traveling alone in the mountains. Suddenly she saw something shining in the stream. When she came close, she found it was a precious stone. She put the stone into her bag and went on with her trip.
The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, “The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?”

As I   31   the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re   32  of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   33 were behind the picture, had a list of issues.I was too   34 , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   35  my students, I had begun commanding them to   36 .Where I thought I was driving them to success I was    37   driving them away.

One of the most common social fears is that we are not good enough. Perhaps you feel you won’t   21  others because they are more confident, successful, intelligent or attractive than you. Such thinking is misguided. The   22  of doing well is accepting yourself as you are.

Weeks passed, and eventually I gave up hope of ever finding it   30 . A month later, I was 31  up my jacket in the same place when I saw my brown   32  diary, just where I’d left it.
  33  I read through the pages and found that a   34  had written the following, “God bless you. I’m   35  like you, only I   36  keep a diary, and I’m   37  to know there are others like me. I hope things turn out well for you.”
Tears came to my eyes. It had never dawned(开始为人所明白)on me that any one could know my inner feelings and also   38  things just like the way I did.
No matter what you are like, whether you’re rich or poor, brilliant or average, attractive or 39 , there are people like you. Discard(抛弃)your fears of not measuring up(符合期望), and 40  yourself as you are.

The day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.
One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole.
小题1:What made the author feel sad?
A.Her fiancé’s sudden death.B.Constant heavy snow.
C.Her fiancé abandoning her.D.Her job being refused again.
小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 1?
A.Surprised.B.Angry.C.Ashamed.D.Moved.
小题3:It is _______ that helped the author out of darkness.
A.herselfB.her friendsC.her fiancéD.a snowplow
小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The author was a capable and independent woman.
B.The author was so lazy that she wouldn’t shovel the walk.
C.Finally the author got through hardest work bravely.
D.When facing the worst fear, you will get strength.
小题5:What’s the author’s purpose in the passage?
A.To talk about her hardest work in her life.
B.To talk about her real love between her and her fiancé.
C.To tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely.
D.To tell us the importance of friendship.

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California’s beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark’s dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?
Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You’re on your way.”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
小题1:What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?
A.To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.
B.To be the first to climb El Capitan.
C.To climb the highest mountain in California.
D.To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.
小题2:How did Mark climb the mountain?
A.He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.
B.He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
C.He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
D.He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.
小题3: How did Mark lose the use of his legs?
A.He lost his footing and fell from the side of a mountain.
B.He fell during his first attempt on El Capitan.
C.His legs were broken by falling rocks.
D.While working out in the gym, he injured his backbone.
小题4:What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb?
A.He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.
B.A strong wind blew him away from the rock.
C.He kept falling several inches.
D.While swaying in space, he became terrified.
小题5:How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb?
A.He admitted that he was frightened.
B.He often worried about his friend’s condition.
C.He was able to remain clam and determined.
D.He was joking to cheer himself up.

Can we turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”? Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply emphasize how unhappy they are.
The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by referring to older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better.If you tell your friend that he may be an Einstein, youre just underlining his faultsIn one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write passages opposing funding for the disabled.When they were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem(自尊).The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes.Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell.When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”
Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the experiment.In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy(心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse.Meditation(静思) techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a large, more realistic perspective(视野).Call it the power of negative thinking.
小题1:The Canadian researchers find that _____.
A.encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good
B.there can be no simple cure for psychological problems
C.unhappy people cannot think positively
D.the power of positive thinking is limited
小题2:What does the author mean by “… you’re just underlining his faults”(Line4, Para3)?
A.You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.
B.You are pointing out the mistakes he has made.
C.You are emphasizing the fact that he is not clever.
D.You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.
小题3:What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?
A.It is important for people to continually improve their self-esteem.
B.Thinking positively can bring a positive change to one’s mood.
C.People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings.
D.Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.
小题4:What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.
B.Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.
C.Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.
D.People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.
