    15. C。联系下一句“…they are gone forever.”可知应该选gone。gone是形容词，表示动作的完成，不表示被动。

    “As you cross this bridge,think about  28  difficult,but it is possible”.
    Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is  30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be  31  through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.
    I didn’t understand my cousin  32  she told me I should  33  all those unfriendly guys with  34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past  35  and guilt will not serve me well.
    Once I forgave serious  36  ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I  37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them.
    After all,life is good   38  all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be   39  in facing and adversity（逆境）while at the same time it makes me  40  to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.

    Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
    Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?
    小题1: It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.
    A．are lying on the groundB．have an unpleasant taste
    C．bees don’t likeD．have an unfamiliar shape
    小题2:According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.
    　    
    A．waving its branchesB．giving off a special smell
    C．dropping its leavesD．changing the colour of its trunk
    小题3:According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.
    A．making special movementB．touching one another
    C．smelling one anotherD．making unusual sound

    Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life．He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think．One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week．From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life．
    He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture．You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends．But you’ll know him only when you ask to lend you some money．If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before．Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it．
    Since money is important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important．The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book．
    Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect．I’m nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．
    People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In this book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the modern world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life．
