When I was young, I really doubted whether there was love between my parents．Every day they were busy earning money so that they could   36 the high tuition my brother and I needed．They didn’t   37 in the romantic ways that I read in books or saw on TV．
One day, Mom was sewing a quilt（被子）．I 38 sat down beside her．“Mom, I have a　39 here,” I said after a while．“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very 　40 voice．
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with   41 in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt．I was   42 if I had hurt her．I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do．But at last she said, very   43 , “Susan, look at this   44 ．Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting．If   45 is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there． 46 is inside．”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later．
One day, Dad accidentally got 47 while on duty．Ever since then he could no longer 48
properly．Every morning and dusk Mom would help Dad walk slowly on the country road．Along the country road, there were beautiful flowers, green grass and trees．The leaves were gently glistening   49 the sun shining upon them．All of these made up the most beautiful   50 in the world．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?”” I asked him one day． “Susan, don’t worry shout me,” he said gently． “I just like walking with your mom．I like this kind of life．” Looking into his eyes, I 51 　　what they meant．
The doctor had said Dad would   52  in two months．But that day never came．He   53 away in peace．
54   I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses．But from this   55 , I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life, which makes life strong and warm…

How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.

A．doesn’t need improving	B．couldn’t be improved
C．will be better some day	D．will be worse in the future

小题2: What does the author think of the woman’s life?

A．Positive

B．Passive

C．Colorful

D．Disturbing

小题3:Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?

A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging.

B．Your luck can be changed by your own efforts.

C．You can only achieve success when God wills it.

D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.

小题4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________.

A．positive thinking	B．positive action
C．hope for the best	D．intention to succeed

小题5: The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________.

A．understand yourself	B．improve your life
C．believe in yourself	D．change your normal way

Impossible cases are not forever. While it is impossible for one person, it is possible for another. In a word, everything is possible.
Someone says, “Success belongs to those who can look at the complex challenges offered by the world as inspiration.” So your challenges are golden opportunities for success. How can there be miracles if there are no obstacles? How will you chase the storm if there is no storm? You need challenges to reveal your ability. Success doesn’t come out of nothing; success comes from the problems you face. Those who refuse to give in come out smiling.
Robert X. Perez says, “The seeds of success spring from failure’s ashes.” Failure is not defeat; it is the pointer to do better than what you just did. You have to know that you are in a constant study of life. What you face is for your training. Samuel Aidoo says, “Each failure is simply another chapter in the story of our lives. To fail is to understand what not to do. Remember it and don’t give up until your goal is achieved.”
What do you do when you face difficulty? Yeah, life is difficult, but you do not give up. Have a positive and calm outlook on your circumstances(状况) and make the best of them. You may learn something new. You can develop mental toughness. Mental toughness means to be able to see the long-term gains rather than be put off by short-term pains. Once you have this toughness, you have the winning edge(优势).
The only things in life you ever really regret are the chances you didn’t take. You will regret when you see the consequences of not seizing the opportunities when they arose. Take chances every day!
小题1:The main point of the passage is that ____________.

A．success comes out of nothing

B．never give up and you may achieve success

C．everything is easy to deal with

D．impossible things do not exist

小题2: According to the author, success often comes to people who ____________.

A．have good opportunities

B．face failure

C．don’t fear difficulties

A．We can perform miracles by overcoming difficulty.

B．We will seem greater after overcoming difficulty.

C．Everyone will fail for numerous times because of difficulty.

D．Most of us can’t show our ability because of difficulty.

小题4:From Paragraph 3 we can learn that ____________.

A．failure means great success in the future to everyone

B．all people can achieve success if they keep leaning

C．most people end up with failure because it often happens

D．failure can help people to achieve success if they don’t give up

A professor I have worked pretty closely with has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. It has been devastating(悲惨的) for his family and heartbreaking for his students.
What made him extraordinary was not only that he was a rising star. He had only recently collected the highest honors for young researchers at the White House. We truly admire him—as someone put it, ‘He always has a smile and a kind word for everyone.” It is very hard to find someone who is extremely intelligent should be so nice a human being.
I decided that we needed him to know our attitude and also how we are all praying for his recovery. I bought him a simple card which read, ‘Healing thoughts and wishes coming your way.” I met all the students he worked closely with and got them to sign on it. Each student in his laboratory signed and also added a message. ‘We love you so much”, ‘We miss you! We need you back here—recover soon”… These were some of the messages that were written. Most of the students were really glad we were doing this and said it was a very good idea to give it to him.
He is still undergoing intense treatment, and along with his family is trying his best to stay optimistic and hopeful. I didn’t see a trace of self-pity or sadness when I met him last week. Instead, he paid attention to every word of my presentation and asked me several questions related to my work. I was amazed at how much he gave his 100% on that day in spite of being in pain because of chemotherapy( 化疗)，he did not know if he even had another month to live. “I am trying to focus on staying positive, hoping to be back this summer,” he said.
Needless to say, I saw an expression of joy and hope on his face as he opened the card. He said he was truly touched to see the messages from the students he worked closely with.
There is one thing I learnt from last week: It is so important to tell people how much they mean to us and what an inspiration they are before it becomes too late. My professor, in spite of being too sick to teach classes, has managed to continue being a great teacher, introducing his last valuable message to us.
小题1:The professor was admired because _______.

A．he was very intelligent	B．he had won many honors
C．he had noble personalities	D．he was very determined

小题2:What do the underlined words “our attitude” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Our worry about his health.	B．Our pray for his health.
C．Our admiration for him.	D．Our pity for him.

小题3: When the writer visited the professor at hospital, what surprised him was that the professor ________.

A．was suffering form great pain	B．was still very confident
C．didn’t know he would die soon	D．still cared for others

小题4: Of the following statements, the writer may agree that _________.

A．the professor loves his job very much

B．few students supported the writer’s decision at first

C．the professor will go back to teach this summer

D．the professor often feels sorry for himself

小题5:According to the last paragraph, what did the author learn?

A．One should remain optimistic all the time.

B．It is important to let people know about their importance.

C．Teachers should have a positive influence on their students.

D．It is never too late to make a right decision.

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner.   36  woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made   37  impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to   38 her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you   39 ?”she asked. “I thought that it would be   40  to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it   41  moment, and agreed.

We went to a restaurant that,   46  not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there   47  at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was   48  her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an)   49  conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
A few days   50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do   51  for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note   52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the   53  dinner. I love you, Son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your   54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be   55  till“some other time”.

When she flew into Athens on an unseasonably cold day in September, she quickly realized that she hadn’t brought enough warm clothes.

Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes mostly because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” or “I’ll be happy when I earn that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you want.

This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats

faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”
It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.
Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.
I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.
小题1:The second paragraph mainly tells us that people seek happiness_______.

A．in the same way
