In 1982, I was a young marketing person in a company in Mumbai. I had a very senior colleague named Paul, who taught me how to  36   marketing effectively and how to deal with life  37  .
It was one of those  38   days…management, sales calls, planning my travel schedule, booking hotels, arranging appointments and the   39   was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only exhausted but was getting  40  . It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house to have a rest.
We made our way to Paul’s house. Although  41   after a day’s hard work, I was excited to chat with Paul and  42  his rich experience in marketing. As we entered his house  43  the main door, Paul started singing his favourite song, I have a dream. I was in no  44  to listen to his song. I only wanted to hear about how he handled  45   sales calls.
As I leaned over Paul’s shoulder to tell him that, two young girls walked up to Paul and hugged him. They couldn’t walk steadily, and neither could they talk   46   , but their faces were full of  47   and they also sang a song: No mummy’s kisses only daddy’s smiles; nobody wants us, and daddy hugs us tonight.
I was watching what was going on, totally  48   in the beautiful singing, when Paul tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to sit down.  49  to know, I asked Paul who these girls were. To my  50  , Paul told me they were his daughters and they were born as “  51  children” (mentally disabled). His wife died and he was both Mother and Father to them.
I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was   52  in his personal life. He never looked for   53  from his friends and colleagues. On the contrary, he always helped us at the office. And being head of the Department, he always  54  us to move forward in life.
Paul’s life has been a great  55  to me. If a man can smile through these troubles, nothing can prevent him from achieving success in work or life.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(学问). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅)me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
小题1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.
A.after Mother died.B.before she became a writer.
C.when she was a child.D.when Mother gave it to her.
小题2:The passage shows that _____.
A.Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter.
B.Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done.
C.Mother cared much about her daughter in words.
D.Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.
小题3:The word gulf in the paragraph 2 means ______.
A.deep understanding between the old and the young.
B.different ideas between the mother and the daughter.
C.free talks between mother and daughter.
D.part of the sea going far in land.
小题4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A.She had never received the letter.
B.For years, she often talked about the letter.
C.She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D.She read the letter again and again till she died.
小题5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A.My Letter to Mother.B.Mother and Children.
C.My Mother’s Desk.D.Talks between Mother and Me.

A
Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bus. The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in lines; others were walking about. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in order. Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit.
He walked into the station café. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down, facing a large mirror on the wall. Just then, John, one of Tom’s friends, came in and sat with Tom.
“What time is your bus?” asked John.
“Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.
“Oh, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said John.
They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.
“Good heavens! It’s going back-ward!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.”
“You are looking at the clock in the mirror,” said John.
Tom wanted to kick himself for being so foolish. The next bus was not to leave for another hour. He has never liked mirror since then.

It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the   36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   37  between teacher and student. When she finally   38  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn   39  of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,   40 , was working angrily as I struggled not to   41 . I figured I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some   42  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   44 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason   45  and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the classroom.
As I   46  the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” A number of them said, “You give us too much homework.” Some kids said, “We’re   47  of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   48   were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   49  , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   50 my students, I had begun commanding them to   51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   52  driving them away.
I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   53  by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   55

If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life,one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have.
Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment.Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal(叙旧,更新)with the friends,relatives and acquaintances we already have.
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is because you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time.Compare it with your real values and priorities(优先考虑的事)in life.Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy for friends,why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities.Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.
小题1: The author mainly discusses _______________in this passage.
A.how to spend our spare time
B.how to balance friendship and work
C.whether we should keep friendship
D.whether we should invite friends to dinner
小题2:Which of the following doesn’t indicate a good relationship?
A.You feel depressed with others in life.
B.You have someone to have close talks with.
C.You have someone to count on when you are in trouble.
