One day, a well-known speaker was invited to give a lecture to an audience of 200. He started his lecture by       a $ 20 bill. He looked around the room, and asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”      started going up.
He said, “I am going to       this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He crumpled up (揉皱) the 20-dollar bill. He then asked, “Who       wants it?” Still the hands were       in the air.
“Well”, he replied,“    I do this ?” And he dropped it on the       and started to step on it with his shoes. He picked it up. Now it was crumpled and       .
“Now, who wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.
“My friends, we have all learned a very       lesson. No matter what I did to the       , you still want it because it doesn’t decrease in     . It is still worth $20, with       we can buy what we need.
Many times in our lives, we are     , and trampled underfoot by the decision we      and the circumstances that come our way. We feel     we were worthless. But no matter what has happened or what may happen to us, you will never       your value. Dirty or clean, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives is determined not by       we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are      . Don’t ever forget it.”
If you       this lesson in mind, it will help you to       again when you fall. Each time it makes you grow much stronger.

Any day we wish;we can discipline ourselves to change it a11.Any day we wish;we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge.Any day we wish;we can start a new activity.Any day we wish;we can start the process of life change.We can do it immediately,or next week,or next month,or next year.
We can also do nothing.We can pretend rather than perform.And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable,we can remain as we are.We can choose rest over labor,entertainment over education,delusion(幻想)over truth,and doubt over confidence.The choices are ours to make.But while we complain about the effect,we continue to nourish(助长)the cause.
As Shakespeare uniquely observed,“The fault is not in the stars,but in ourselves.’’We created our circumstances by our past choices.We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today.
Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth .They need the whole truth .And the responsibility to nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment,repeated every day,to lead us down the wrong path.
We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out.And then we must make the very choices that will bring life,happiness and joy into our daily lives .
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life—If you don’t like how things are,change it !You’re not a tree.You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life — and it all begins with your very own power of choice.
小题1:The first paragraph tells us that_________.
A.no one wants to be disciplined
B.we often need some new knowledge
C.taking activities does good to our health
D.we want to change all the time
小题2:We may conclude from the second paragraph that
A.whatever happens, we have to change ourselves
B.people tend to nourish the cause of bad results
C.whether we change or not depends on ourselves
D.most choices we made are not good enough
小题3:From Shakespeare’s words,we know________.
A.it is our duty to change for the better
B.we complain a lot about our past choices
C.sometimes we have to face the fate
D.we should believe in ourselves in life

Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.
The other day I was feeling quite      , having just been laid off from my job. With so many       to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.
I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the      . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the       I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.
She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice       me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take       to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know. 
She might have felt my       for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked       and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her      , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”
She explained to me that she sees so many       people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by       motivational(激励的)music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a        time lately, but you’ve made me       again.”
“I’m happy that I could be       to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
I told her my story and said, “I’m not so       about what to do….”
“You see, here’s the      ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because       comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should       more … lift your head up.”
I was really       by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So       in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

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.

Sometimes a part of us must die before another part can come to life. Even though this is a       and necessary stage of our growth, it is often painful or       if we don’t realize what’s happening. In fact, confusion is often the       that tells us a change is taking place within us. These changes happen throughout the lives of all humans, as we move from babyhood to       to teenage years and beyond. With each change from one       to another, we find ourselves       goodbye to an old friend, the identity (个性,身份) that we       in order to move through that particular time.
Sometimes we shape these identities in relationships or jobs, and when we change, those areas of our life become      . Usually, if we take the time to look into the changing surface of things, we will find that a change is taking place       us. For example, we may go through one whole part of our lives creating a protective shell around ourselves       we need it in defense of ourselves. One day,      , we may find ourselves feeling limited and bored, wanting to move outside the       we used to need; the new part of ourselves cannot be born within the       of the shell our old self needed.
We may feel a strange       of excitement and sadness as we say goodbye to a part of ourselves that is       and make way for a whole new identity to       in its place. We may find inspiration in working and studying when we think of the image of an animal who sheds (蜕毛;蜕皮) in order to       way for new skin, fur, or feathers to      . For example, keeping a piece of snake skin, or some other symbols of change, can       us that death and rebirth are simply nature’s way of growing. We can give in to this process, letting go of our past self with great love and gratitude, and       the new with an open mind and heart, ready for our next stage of life.

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?
A.Warm-hearted.B.Careful.C.Hard-working.D.Broad-minded.
