When I was a teenager, I volunteered to give out water at a marathon. Watching the different runners who passed by and grabbed a cup was 36 . The next year I signed up for the race. I did little preparation and my only goal was to finish. On the day of the race, it was 37  hot. I remember struggling at about the 5th mile, thinking, “I am never doing this again!”
Have you ever felt that way about something? You eagerly choose a goal 38     soon realize it is 39 to achieve than you imagined it would be. That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Then 40 a decisive moment. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me. I felt 41  that I was younger than him but I couldn’t keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second but then I realized 42 . He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different experience, training and goals and I had mine. 43  in life do we 44  ourselves with others and feel disappointed in ourselves when we really shouldn’t? I decided, then, that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. 45  I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my achievement. Since then I have run several races and run purely for fun.
In life we all 46  compare ourselves with others, which is only natural. But don’t let them weaken you. 47 , you should use them to inspire you and show you what is possible. Then you are a true winner.

All the definitions(定义) and facts in a dictionary or book do not convey what friendship is really about. It cannot be understood through   36 . The only way to understand friendship is through experience, which   37  all the senses.
Friendship can be seen. It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands. It is seen in a child freely   38  the last cookie. It is not   39  to see friendship; it is always there for eyes that can see.
Friendship can be heard. It is heard in the words of two friends squeezing in lunch together on an extremely   40  day although they have a lot of things to do. It is the way they   41  each other, not the words. Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen.
Friendship is   42  in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, and the wet kiss from the family dog. The touch   43  more than words or gestures. It is   44  understood and clearly shows the feelings.
Friendship has a taste. It tastes like homemade bread: the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully   45 , then the quiet   46  as the dough(生面团) rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients   47  there are the thoughts of the baker as her hands mix the flour or her   48  as she waits for the dough to rise.  49  and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that   50 . Warm, fresh from the oven, the difference you taste is   51 .
Friendship has a smell. It smells like the slightly burnt cookies your brother made especially for you. It smells like your home when   52  it after being away for a long tome. Friendship has   53  smells.
Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is a(n)  54  of the heart. It is the language of the heart --- a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the   55 . Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.

When I was 15, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my short-comings(缺点). Week by week her list grew. I was skinny(瘦的), I talked too loud, I was too proud, and so on. I put up with(忍受)her as long as I could. At last, I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to my outburst quietly. They he asked, “Are the things she says the true or not?”True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?
“Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. ”Go and make a list of every thing she said and mark the points that are true. You needn’t pay attention to the other things she said.
I did as he told me and discovered to my surprise that about half the things are true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the time in my life I began to get a quiet clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy, but he wouldn’t take it.“That’s just for you,”he said.“You know better than any else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you’ve got to learn to listen, not close your ears in anger or hurt. When someone says something about you, you’ll know if it’s true or not. If it is ,you’ll find it will echo(共鸣)inside you.”
“I still don’t think it very nice of her to talk about me in front of everybody.”
“Mary, there is one way you could stop others talking about you ever again, and criticizing(批评) you—just say nothing and do nothing. But then, if you do that, you’d find you were nothing. You wouldn’t like that now, would you?”“No, I admitted(承认)”

When I was about 10 one day, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, “You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the café and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的) they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I’ve become vice-president, but that hasn’t changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.
The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.
小题1:What is the best title for this passage?
A．The Power of Being Talkative
B．My Mother’s Influence on Me
C．The Power of Saying hello
D．My Way to Become Vice-President
小题2: It is implied in the first paragraph that____.
A．the writer didn’t know Mr. Lee
B．the writer didn’t say hello to Mr. Lee on that occasion
C．the writer didn’t get along well with his mother
D．the writer’s mother stopped to say hello to everyone she met
小题3: What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．The writer didn’t say hello to everyone in the company.
B．The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.
C．The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.
D．The president of the company actually didn’t like the writer at all.
小题4: For the writer, saying hello to others_______.
A．is a way to get what he wants
B．has become a habit and a way of life.
C．is a way to show respect for his mother
D．is important in making him remembered.
小题5: According to paragraph 3, in the writer’s opinion, speaking to others can______.
A．make our world much better
B．make people much happier every day.

D．help people work much better
Letters to the next president
Dear Mr. President:
I would like to personally thank you for your time and concern for our great country. I would like to take a few minutes to address a few concerns that I have with the United States.
First of all, I would like to address the war. In my opinion, we should have never been involved with Iraq to the extent that we are now. I believe we should pull our troops out. However, I think there should be a time table that we follow but the time table should not be released（发布） because the enemy does not need to know when we are going to pull out. Also, the war takes out a ton of our money, which leads me to my next issue.
The economy right now, in the opinion of many Americans is the biggest issue with which we are facing right now. No one can predict what will happen one day or the next. The obvious thing to do is to put 700 billion dollars in the economy, but that bill failed and was rejected by the House of Representatives(众议院). Instead of putting 700 billion dollars in, I think the money should be equally distributed among Americans to pay off their debts. I'm not sure if this would work, but I think it is a positive alternative(替代) we could take.
My final issue I would like to call to your attention is teacher's salaries. The high school students of today are America's future. In a way, America's future depends greatly on the high school teachers of America. Saying this, it is sad that teacher's salaries are where they are. While teachers are working harder and harder every day to teach high school students, CEO's of big companies that are driving our countries economy into the ground are getting bonuses. I'm not saying that teacher's salaries should be the same of CEO's of companies, but I do strongly believe that action should be taken to increase the salaries of teachers because they have one of the most important jobs in America - - preparing our country for the future.
Once again, thank you for your time and your effort you put in to making this great country a better place.
Sincerely, Walker

When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I ” in “team”.
There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.  
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.  
When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers. 
The result: the Boston Celtics won the championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.  
There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one heart." If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA. 
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The stories of three famous basketball superstars.
B．A famous basketball team named the Boston Celtics.
C．The importance of teamwork among teammates.
D．Matches between the Boston Celtics and other teams.
小题2:What does this sentence “there is no ‘I’ in ‘team’.” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．"I" will be missing once "I" am on the court.
B．The cooperation of the teammates is more important than the individual.
C．"I" work so hard in a team that "I" will forget who "I" am
D．Surrounded by other players, "I" don’t seem to exist.
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true about Pierce’s recent performance?
A．He became an even better shooter with others’ help.
B．He focused much more attention on defense.
C．He created more chances for teammates.
D．He stood and cheered for his teammates
小题4:Which of the following didn’t contribute to the success of the Boston Celtics?
A．The whole team has become devoted to each and every stage of the game.
B．The cooperation and teamwork among the teammates in the match.
C．The influence of Garnett, Allen, Pierce and other teammates’ cheering.
D．The increasing frequency of team players on the bench
I remember as a small child people would often ask me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?"
     Well, it 31  being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, a policeman, a lawyer... As I grew older my dreams for the future  32 . When, at last, I was in college, I had my 33 set on becoming a preacher (牧师) like my father.  34  I studied and prepared for that life. I reached the 35 in the end and I was preaching  36 full-time for much of my adult life.
     However, for many, there is a "thief" that goes around stealing our 37 . Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the 38  thief is usually ourselves.
     We find 39 just about reaching the top, and a "small" 40  inside says, "You’ll never 41 it""You can’t possibly do this." On and on the "small" voice 42 our failure. Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are 43 . It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable (极宝贵的) 44 . When we learn these lessons well, we are ready for 45  
     The message I always gave my children was that you 46  do anything that your heart desires. Remember the saying, "Nothing is 47 to a willing heart." There are 48  "overnight" successes, but with determination, they will arrive. The life you dream of 49 in the end .Then in your heart, believe it will happen to you. Then work, work, work. You’ll get the picture.
     So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone 50 it from you —especially yourself.
