My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he   36  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months   37  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch   38  on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton,   39  will pay any more attention to your scar   40  you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother   41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  42  high — glad he was alive.
  43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,   44  you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer   45 .
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your   46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false   47 .
One of my friends in college was very   48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his   49   for about 10 seconds. This man felt   50  about himself and spent most of his time   51  about other people’s comfort and welfare(幸福).   52 , people ignored his looks. What people   53  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value   54  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same   55 .

One day when I was driving on the freeway, I noticed all the way there were large dividing walls, which had been built between it and the road running parallel to it, for noise reduction (减少) and a sense of separation. The purpose was to create a sense of privacy (隐私) for people on the other side.
This got me thinking: How often do we put up mental barriers that keep us distant from others? Lifting the artificial barriers that keep us apart can offer opportunities to express our goodwill and create better relationships. If we can do like this, maybe our life will be a little different.
There is a little post office in a nearby town, and since it is closer to me than the post office in my own town, I go there. One day, with many people jammed into the little building, a man came hurrying in to mail a letter, and the girl at the counter saw he had too little postage on it. She told him he needed 2 more cents. Obviously he was a little at a loss. He had hurried over from his office, and didn’t have any money on him or time to stand in line. He was going to run back to get the needed money and wait in line again, but he hurried to get the letter mailed in the first place.
As we were watching him, one woman volunteered a two-cent stamp, and the whole line became very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. The man hesitated for a little while and asked her if she was sure, and she assured him she was fine with giving him the stamp. He offered to go back to his office to get the two cents, and she told him not to bother.
It was a small thing, but it meant something to both of the people involved, and to the rest of us. We aren’t a yard that needs defining or a freeway that needs barriers. We are human beings who can contribute to each other’s wellbeing by taking time to pay attention and interact. After all, we are all parts of a whole living in society.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.
A.summarize the main idea
B.give detailed information
C.tell readers the author’s opinion
D.introduce the topic
小题2:What happened after the man being told he needed two more cents?
A.The man went back to his office immediately.
B.The man turned to a lady for help.
C.A woman offered a stamp to the man.
D.The man waited in line patiently.
小题3:What can we learn about the author?
A.She pays too much attention to privacy.
B.She believes people should participate in the world around them.
C.She confuses real barriers with false ones.
D.She insists all small things always have the greatest meaning.
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Artificial BarriersB.Unnecessary Separation
C.An Unforgettable Experience D.The Kindness of People
In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   46  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   47 . The only solution is to reach   48  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   49  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   50 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   51 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   52 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   53 . The only direct and honest comparison is   54  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   55  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  56  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   57 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated(埋头苦干的)you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   58  someone is coming up fast   59  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   60 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   61  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who  62  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   63 . You are a more  64  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   65  is all you need.

They say that cats have nine lives but our lazy old cat,PJ,had concurrent(并存的)lives and identities. He became well-known for sleeping around the neighbourhood and used to nap in the spare bedroom of elderly couple who lived three doors up from us.While I wasn’t always aware of all his liaisons, it didn’t matter as long as he always came home at mealtimes.
One day we noticed he had gained weight. We guessed he was enjoying snacks at the local takeaway shop bins and so we began to reduce the amount of his food. He didn’t seem to notice.
Some months later. we invited some new neighbours in for drinks. Not long into the evening, our new neighbor saw PJ sitting proudly on the window ledge. “You’ve got my cat!” She exclaimed, laughing.
We let her down gently, and learnt that at their house, PJ was known as Tiger. Thanks to them, he’d been receiving the royal treatment, including removing small insects from his body by spraying medicine. PJ continued living with us until a new cat and a new dog finally tested his patience. He walked out and was missing for ten days before my husband spotted him near his work. He brought our wandering cat home, but it was clear that PJ wasn’t happy. After shouting at him angrily, I let him out and he never returned.
A few months later, our new neighbour told us she’d seen PJ. It seems that an elderly neighbour had welcomed him into her home, and since taking up residence he’d doubled in size and been given his own sitting – room chair to lie. The two had become very fond of each other, ever since he’d followed her home. What a smart cat.

B.the author found the cat had gained some weight
C.The author couldn’t provide the cat with medical care
D.the neighbours loved the cat PJ very much
All my life I had loved airports.To me,they were fl kind of magic gateway to the world,but today it seemed like a cold and heartless place.
“Well,here we are,the airport,"my sister said with fl sigh.As 1 watched her unload my luggage,I could see the sadness in her eyes.One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new lire abroad,leaving my beloved sister behind.
I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears,she was trying to keep a brave face.“You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,”she said.
“I am just going to walk away and not look back,” I said. As I held her one last time she whispered,“Don’t worry about me,I’ll be fine."“I’ll miss you,” I replied with tears in my eyes.As I promised,I did not look back。but 1 was sobbing.To me it was the end of the world.
While boarding the plane 1 was still crying.I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the empty seat next to mine.As I settled into my chair, a feeling of sadness overwhelmed(淹没) me.I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.
The plane shook heavily and the bag fell,with some stuff spreading on the floor.When I bent over to gather the things up,I saw an unfamiliar little book in the middle of my belongings.It was not until I picked it up that I realized that it was a diary.
Immediately I recognized my sister’s handwriting.“Hi,Sis,What a day it has been today.First you let me know that you are moving abroad and then my boss…”My sister had been keeping a diary for the past month and she was now passing it on to me.I was to write in it for the next couple of months and then send it back to her.Even though a large ocean separated us,at some point it felt like she was actually there.

As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart.We always had totally different  opinions.He thought that college was a waste of time,but for me it was important to finish college.He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field,but l wanted a different life.There was a time when we did not talk with each other.
A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health.When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him,I knew he was seriously ill.I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.
Two weeks after moving back,we bought a boat and started fishing again.Fishing was one of the few things that we did while l was young and that we both enjoyed.It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us.We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before.Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart.
It is not important how many fish we catch.It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years.I’m 62 and he is 84.When we are on the lake fishing,it is like two kids enjoying life.It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind.I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years.Now my heart is filled with love.A smile always graces my lips.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep patterns. "People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness," says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear, and allow people to feel more energetic."
So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr. Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person' s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.

A.Try to figure out why you get hurt.
B.Writer a letter to person who hurt you.
C.Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.
D.Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.
小题4:Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ______.
A.people seldom want to apologizeB.we’d feel worse accepting others' apology
C.we are not patient enoughD.people don’t mean it when they apologize
