    Growing up to be independent (独立)
    Growing up is not always easy. When facing difficulties, courage arid a spirit of independence can be more
useful than crying for help. That's what Hong Zhanhui's story of growing from boy to man with family
hardships tell us.
    Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Yihua County, Henan province. When he was only 11, his father
became mentally (精神上) ill and one day came back with an abandoned (被抛弃的) baby girl. A year later,
Hong's mother and younger brother both left home because of being poor and pressure from his ill father. Their
burdens (负担) fell onto the l2-year-old's shoulders: to treat his father's illness, bring up the adopted (领养的)
sister Chenchen, and to go on to study,Hong didn't give up. Since a young age, he has worked in part-time jobs
to feed his family. At they same time, he has studied at college. To take care of Chenchen, he worked hard to
rent a room near his campus for her, and send her to school. After Hong's story went public, people were
moved to tears by his selflessness (无私), Hard as his life was, Hong didn't abandon his father and the adopted
sister because they needed his help. With his hard-won money, he even helped other students struggling against
misfortunes (厄运).
    Today when many tend to Worry more about their own happiness, Hong's deeds remind us of what we
usually neglect (忽略): love and care for others. Without these, none of us could survive Hong turned down
donations from others. He said he felt encouraged by kind offers but he could depend on his own work.
    Short of money to buy food, the boy climbed tall trees to get birds' eggs for his baby sister. He walked two
hours at weekends to buy different things to sell around his school to make money. Through his hard life, the
boy developed an ability to rise above misfortune that made him a hero in people's eyes.
    Hong's story shows that with love and willpower (意志力), no hardship can defeat a person but himself. So
when facing difficulties don't complain about bad luck. Consider what more you could do for your family and
society and you'll find the world smiling back.

     I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. When
people are   1  , there's no need to do   2   but receive them. Listen to what they're saying. Most times letting
someone talk is more   3   than understanding it.
     One of my   4   told me that sometimes when she tried to tell her story, people often interrupted to tell her
that they once had something just like that happened to them. Finally she stopped talking to most people and
became very   5  . We connect through listening. When we   6  , they know we care. Many people with cancer
can talk about the relief (宽慰) of having someone just listen.
     I have   7   learned to respond (反应) to someone crying by just listening. I just listen. When they have   8   
all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
     This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very   9  . I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the   10  .

     Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family,
health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a
rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
     But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glasses. If you drop one of these, they
will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life.
How?
     Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each
of us is special.
     Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
     Don't give up when you still have something to give. (3) Nothing is really over until the moment you stop
trying.
     Don't be afraid to fight difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
     Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. (4) The quickest way to receive love is to give it;
the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地)
; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
     Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless (失重的). It's a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
     Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back.
     Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
     Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift: that's why we call it "the present".

     Learning experiences happen to us in our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to share.
     I was going to Marblehead   1   my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high-way   2   we felt
hungry. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new (崭新的) $20 bill. I was so   3   because I had
never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on food seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the
pizza line.   4   I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   5   I had
not handed any money to the cashier (收银员). I had just walked out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
     My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed (吞) me in one big bite. I couldn't get over it. I just
couldn't go back to the cashier and   6   my stolen pizza. I was so upset (不安的) that I refused to give myself
the pleasure of an ice cream for   7   that someone would say, "Hey, Jeff. Why don't you use the change from
the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?" I was not so proud of my cash now..
     For the next two years, whenever the "pizza thing" came to my mind, I would say to myself, "Don't think
about it…" 
     I have learned two things from this   8  . Maybe I was a fool giving in to my conscience, and being too
stupid to have a free pizza. But the real   9   is that even if you get away from what you have done, your
conscience will catch up with you.
     This goes with the saying, "A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one." I was a coward and
have felt terrible   10   at least a thousand times. If I had been a "hero" and gone back to pay for the pizza, I
would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

     When a terrible earthquake hit, many people were killed and many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all
the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
     One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of
each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were
less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. "We
have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them.”
     I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and
donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games
and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved
doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear," I said. "You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so
much." Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too." 
     I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't
want any more, but harder to give what we cherish (珍爱), isn't it?

A. good

C. hard
D. polite

A. a girl
B. a game
C. a doll
D. an earthquake
4. Which of the following is TRUE?
[     ]
A. A terrible earthquake happened in the writer's city on Sunday.
B. The mother didn't let Meghan give her much-loved doll in the end.
C. The mother decided to buy some clothes for those people in trouble.
D. The writer thinks it is more difficult to give what we love a lot.
5. What's the best title of this passage?

    Each of us would like to be trusted by parents, because we all want to get freedom. Parents are more likely
to give us our freedom if they trust us. If you want your parents to trust you more, you have to show them
through your actions. 
    Let your parents know what's going on at school and with your friends. If you truly can be trusted, then
you have nothing to hide, right? Keep your bedroom door open when you are back. Do not be crazy when they
see what you are looking at on the Internet. Invite your friends to your house to meet your parents.
    When you do something wrong, it can break trust. Broken trust takes a long time to rebuild.
    It's not easy dealing with your parents when you've broken their trust. But, it can be done. It's not talking
about groveling (低声下气) and sweet-talking them into trust. I'm talking about getting them to respect you
again.
    I find it easy to make the mistake of no telling my parents things I've done wrong, hoping they won't find
out. There are lots of reasons:
    I don't want to get into trouble;
    I don't want them to be disappointed or get mad at me;
    I don't want to lose their trust;
    I don't think they will ever find out.
    And the list goes on and on. But they find out somehow, and then you're in hot water. Of course, even if
Mom and Dad never find out, you still know about.
     Most parents will respect you more for coming to them and telling them yourself. Doing so shows honesty,
responsibility and maturity (成熟). If you can't tell them face to face, you can try writing a note.
    Trust can't be built in a day or even a week, but you can gradually do things to help your parents build trust
in you.
1. What would children like to get from their parents according to the passage?
[     ]
A. Money.
B. Freedom.
C. Love.
D. Clothes.
2. What should you do if your parents don't trust you according to the passage?
[     ]
A. Talk to them in a sweet voice.
B. Tell them not to be disappointed.
C. Introduce your friends to them.
D. Get their respect and trust by actions.
3. What's the meaning of the phrase "in hot water"?
[     ]
A. 在热水里
B. 遇到麻烦
C. 想喝热水
D. 洗热水澡
4. Which of the following is TRUE?
[     ]
A. It's easy for children to tell their parents the things they have done wrong.
B. The parents will respect and trust you more if you tell them yourself.
C. Trust can be built soon if children make mistakes.
D. Parents never believe their children if trust is broken.
5. The best title of the passage is _____.
[     ]
A. Parents Should Respect Children
B. Children Want More Freedom

    Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them. But you get really
angry every time you think of them. If you don't let this anger go, it can turn into
bitterness (痛苦).
    Bitterness appears when we can't forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us
angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the
anger, we keep it beep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think
we're hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we're really only
hurting ourselves.
     Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but
also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around
an angry person for very long.
    If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. 
   ·Accept it
    Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See
your anger
   ·Stop making excuses for it
    You may feel you have a right to be angry.
    You may think you're right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy
making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the
other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his
or her life.
   ·Forgive and forget it
    You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to
forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You'll enjoy better heath and peace of
mind.
1. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone _____.
[     ]
A. holds us back
B. forgets us
C. doesn't like us
D. does hurt us
2. Bitterness comes from _____.
[     ]
A. our health problems like heart disease
B. the anger that lives deep inside our mind

D. our relationships with friends and family members

[     ]

[     ]
A. make the person who hurts us look bad
B. hate the person who hurts us very often
C. accept that you are hurting the other person
D. forgive the person who hurts us and forget it
