    Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.
    Life is like a game and maybe you can award points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.
    What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.
    It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact, you should be always realistic(现实的). Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “give up” be a part of your vocabulary.
    小题1:By saying “To err is human”, the author means that____________.
    A．human beings should try to avoid making mistakes
    B．no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes
    C．mistakes and failures make up our life
    D．human beings make mistakes easily
    小题2:What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
    A．Try to reach 50 points.B．Try to get as many points as you can.
    C．Award yourself for your successD．Don’t be afraid of missing your points.
    小题3:The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through____________.
    A．examplesB．numbersC．experimentsD．stories
    小题4:The underlined word “despondent” in the last paragraph means____________.
    A．frightenedB．disappointedC．surprisedD．excited

    小题1:B
    小题2:C
    小题3:A
    小题4:B

    试题分析：本文告诉我们在人的生活中会经常犯一些错误，我们要学会从错误中学习，要学会鼓励自己，也要学会面对现实，这样才会让我们的人生更有意义。

    How I Turned to Be Optimistic
    I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt＇s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
    I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
    The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”
    My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
    From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
    小题1:How did the author get to know America?
    A．From her relativesB．From her mother
    C．From Books and picturesD．From radio programs
    小题2:Upon leaving for America the author felt       .
    A．confusedB．excited C．worriedD．amazed
    小题3:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
    A．She worked as a translator
    B．She attended a lot of job interviews
    C．She paid telephone bills for her family
    D．She helped her family with her English
    小题4:The author believes that      .
    A．her future will be free from troubles
    B．it is difficult to learn to become patient
    C．there are more good things than bad things
    D．good things will happen if one keeps trying

    I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs（突破）. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    1   he thought he was able to be so much more    2   than the average person.
    He responded that it all came from a(n)   3   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to   4  milk from the fridge when he    5   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.
    When his mother came in,    6   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful    7   you have made! I have    8   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    9  . Would you like to get down and    10   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
    Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge.
    His mother then said, “ You know, what we have here is a    11  experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    12   hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can   13 .” The little boy learned that if he    14   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    15  !
    This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be    16  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    17   for learning something new, which is,    18  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't   19 ,” we usually learn something    20   from it.

    Since the end of World War I (WWI) in 1918，Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.
    Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI， a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.
    As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.
    They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.
    That’s why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you” ; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.
    Yet this message is fading away, year after year.
    Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.
    Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.
    It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.
    It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.
    Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.
    Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.
    小题1:Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day?
    A． It’s only held in Canada.
    B．Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.
    C．It falls on November 11th each year.
    D．It’s to celebrate the country’s independence.
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today?
    A．Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead.
    B．Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers.
    C．Wearing a red poppy to show respect.
    D．Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.
    小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．War history is too violent for school children.
    B．The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army.
    C．Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies.
    D．More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.
    小题4:The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____
    A．the death of so many soldiers in wars
    B．the fact that there were so many wars after WWI
    C．people’s ungratefulness for the freedom they have
    D．removing children from Remembrance Day events
    小题5:The writer believes that_____
    A．the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be remembered
    B．Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiers
    C．schools - no longer think Remembrance Day is necessary
    D．people should be forced to learn about the realities of war

    Love and Friendship
    They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? ___小题1:____
    What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. ___小题2: ___ The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
    __小题3:____ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. ____小题4:____ This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
    Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. ___小题5:_____ You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.
    A．What about love?
    B．My answer is “Yes”.
    C．Let us try and understand.
    D．Friendship does not have that.
    E.We need not explain anything to our very good friends.
    F.You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.
    G.The physical element may include hand in hand while walking.

    We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分开) with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
    Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” That is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
    “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase（短语） that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
    How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice?  The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
    小题1:When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he          .
    A．feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to him
    B．feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelings
    C．thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
    D．is sorry that his friends let him down
    小题2:When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!”, he is saying that          .
    A．the speaker is just friendly
    B．this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”
    C．the word “dog” should not be used to apply to（运用到） people.
    D．sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious.
    小题3:This passage tries to tell you how to          .
    A．avoid mistakes about money and friends
    B．get an idea of friendly people
    C．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
    D．keep people friendly without trusting them
    小题4:The writer suggests that           should be trusted.
    A．everybody B．nobody C．all the people D．not all the people

    Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms (蠕虫), and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering (妨碍) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
    Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.
    When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
    小题1:It is implied in Paragraph 1 that______.
    A．very old people enjoy living with their relatives
    B．social services have nothing to do with very old people
    C．very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom.
    D．very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean
    小题2:Some social workers think that______.
    A．health and safety are more important than personal freedom
    B．personal freedom is more important than health and safety
    C．old people should keep their rooms clean
    D．one should not take the risk of dealing with old people
    小题3:In the author's opinion, ______.
    A．the human body can't be compared to a car
    B．the older a person, the more care he needs
    C．too much emphasis has been put on old people's values
    D．it is easy to provide spare parts for old people
    小题4:The author thinks that______.
    A．medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors
    B．old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
    C．the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful
    D．it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death

    Kilimanjaro Climb : a Rite of Passage for Father and Son
    Climbing Kilimanjaro is a transformational experience for many people. The things that make the mountain hard are the very things that make it so powerful. In the case of my son Josh and I，the walk up Kilimanjaro proved a powerful symbol ofhis transition into manhood, and a great change in our relationship.
    Day three on the mountain, Josh was hit with massive headaches. He told me every step felt like a nail driving into his head. And then, on the night we climbed the crater rim, less than 40 minutes from the summit, Josh fell. I was walking ahead, and did not even see it. He was so exhausted that he could not get up. He recalled our guides, debating whether or not they should take him straight down. Josh snapped out of it. He forced himself to his feet, shook the guides off. He set his face towards the peak and just kept marching. Near the summit he caught up with me and we reached the peak together.
    “ I’ve never been in so much pain and so happy at the same time，，，he said, as we sat side by side on the frozen rock and looked down over Africa. “You know, in the past when we’d go on camping and rafting trips, you guided and took care of me through it all. But on Kilimanjaro it was different. From the bottom up, I climbed it. I never feltlike a kid, even when 1 was in pain. You never acted like a parent.”
    “That’s not quite true，”I replied. “When you told me that on the summit you fell-and I did not even notice, my first thought was, ‘Oh my God! I’m such an awful parent!’ But then it hit me, ‘He got himself up. He walked to the peak on his own. He didn't need me to help.，”
    I realized as I spoke that two people had died that night on Kilimanjaro. A child and a parent. It wasjust two friends who walked down the mountain together.
    小题1:What is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?
    A． Kilimanjaro is powerful.
    B． Kilimanjaro is hard to climb.
    C． Many people, including Josh, have changed after climbing Kilimanjaro.
    D． The writer has a distant relationship with his son after climbing Kilimanjaro.
    小题2:From the second paragraph we know that_____
    A． Josh had a slight headache.
    B． Josh reached the top of the mountain with the help of the guides.
    C． Josh overcame various difficulties on his way to the summit.
    D． Climbing Kilimanjaro was too hard for such a child as Josh.
    小题3:What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?
    A． cheered upB．gave upC．burst outD．ran out
    小题4:What can be inferred from the talk between the father and the son?
    A． Josh felt quite good about his independence.
    B． Josh appreciated his parents ，company and care.
    C． The father felt guilty all the time.
    D． The father should have taken good care of Josh as usual.
    小题5:Why did the father feel that two people had died?
    A． Because two people had lost their lives while climbing Kilimanjaro.
    B． Because the father and son had become friends.
    C． Because they had witnessed an accidence of a father and son.
    D． Because two friends had misled him.
