When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago,my wife and I formed our own “couple caution circle”.Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress,my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness,and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news.Staring at my reports,he said in a low voice,“It doesn’t look like you’re going to make it.”
Before I could ask him a question,my wife stood up,handed me my clothes,adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said,“Let’s get out of here.This man is a risk to your health.” As she helped me struggle to the door,the doctor came near us.“Stay back,” demanded my wife.“Stay away from us.”
As we walked together down the hall,the doctor attempted to catch up with us.“Keep going,” said my wife,pushing the intravenous (静脉注射的) stand.“We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor.“Don’t come any closer to us.”
The two of us moved as one.We escaped to the safety and hope of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone.

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.

I was doing some Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces. A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well. As she was looking, a little boy came to the Pokemon toys. He was dressed neatly, but his clothes were obviously old. He was with his father as well, and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at his father, his father shook his head and said, “No.”

The little girl had chosen her Barbie. However, she stopped and was watching them. Rather dejectedly, the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else. The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf, and ran over to the Pokemon toys. She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout. I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them. Then, much to the little girl’s delight, the little boy and his father got in line behind me. After the toy was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier (收银员) and whispered something in her ear. The casher smiled and put the package under the counter.
I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier checked his purchases and said, “Congratulations, you are my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” With that, she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys, and he could only stare in surprise. It was exactly what he had wanted!
The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this. Then they walked out. As I walked back to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that. I’ll never forget what she said to him. “Daddy, didn’t Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?” He said, “Of course they did, honey.” To which the little girl replied, “Well, I just did!”
I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store, in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know.
小题1:The underlined word “dejectedly” in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A.delightedlyB.disappointedlyC.excitedlyD.unexpectedly
小题2:How did the little boy get the Pokemon toys?

B.Fortunately, he was the hundredth customer and won the Poknemon toys.
C.The cashier felt sympathy for the little boy and gave him the Poknemon toys.

A.Her Grandparents wanted her to be happy.
B.Making the little boy happy made her happy.
C.The Poknemon toys made her happy.
D.Her Grandparents hoped that she could help others.
小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.the story happened before Christmas.
B.The little boy had not enough money to buy the Poknemon toys.
C.Although the little girl liked the Poknemon toys very much, she gave them to the boy.
D.The author was deeply moved by the behavior of the little girl.
I was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question—What is a good person?
At a certain point during the discussion, one of the students—a young man of about thirty—described an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people there take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.
So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my student’s son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, “Give him one of your toys.” At the words, the little boy quickly picked up some toy, and his father said to him, “No, no-give him your favorite toy.”
And the little boy, like a little tiger, said, “No way!” He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, “No, you must give him one of your favorite toys.”
And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.
What do you think happened?
After a couple of minutes, his son came running back into the living room, his face radiant (喜气洋洋). “Daddy,” he said, “can I do that again?”
I think I have got the answer to the question.

While watching a swimming competition one night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. In fact, it is difficult enough, not having anyone to race against.
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was obvious that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd beginning to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
This young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in swimming history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to the competition.
In a competition, we usually watch the brilliant athletes competing for medals, but it is nice to watch an underdog.
小题1:From the passage we learn that the young man _____.
A.made his turn to start back pitifully
B.was skillful at freestyle swimming
C.swam faster than the average swimmer
D.seemed unlikely to win a gold medal
小题2:The crowd changed their attitude because _____.
A.they felt sorry for the young man
B.they wanted to show their interest
C.they were moved by the young man
D.they meant to please the young man
小题3:According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means ____.
A.it’s amusing to watch a skillful swimmer swimming
B.it’s amazing to watch a good loser challenging himself
C.it’s good for athletes to act proudly
D.it’s difficult for some athletes to remove medals
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Go for it!B.Try again!C.Compete for gold!D.Break a record!
The type of things we remember are different. Although we tend to remember good things in our lives, bad things have a way of sneaking up (悄悄接近) on us. One such thing I remember happened when I was 10 years old.
I decided to ride my bicycle over a near-by stream. I carefully planned the adventure, and asked my friends to go there and have a watch. This was going to be my moment! I started riding down the hill, picking up speed and then pulled up on the handlebars (自行车把手) at the precise moment and landed face-first into the muddy stream! That painful moment is one that I will never forget. As long as I live, I will remember the pain and embarrassment at that moment. When we do something stupid or thoughtless, it has a way of sticking with us. Fortunately, good momories have a way of over-riding the bad ones. I have memories that I gladly remember, like what happened today.
I had my first conversation with my son today. It was not anything profound. It was a simple connection between father and son. It was one of those bonding moments that you can’t plan or force. They just happen on their own. I was walking into the living room where my son sat in bed watching television attentively. Then he looked up at me and pointed to the television and babbled (含糊的说) something. I asked him if he was watching SpongeBob (海绵宝宝) and he nodded his head and said,“Yes”. It was at that moment that his eyes lit up and it was as if we both realized we had communicated. And how happy I was! Sure, at eighteen months, he probably did not realize what communication was like, but his joy at that moment was evident. It was a moment I will remember all my life.
Good or bad, memories can last a lifetime. As for an unpleasant memory, though we can’t forget it we can get lessons from it and it is like a mirror that will warn us against making such mistakes again. As for a good memory, we should try our best to enjoy it during our lifetime. Such moments are the treasures that we store up forever.
小题1:The author will always remember what happened when he was ten because he          .
A.drew up a careful plan before taking a ride
B.made a fool of himself in face of his friends
C.hurt himself seriously while riding down the hill
D.succeeded in taking a big adventure over a stream
小题2:The underlined word “profound” in Paragraph 3 probably means   “          ”  .
A.needing much thought
B.simple and easy to solve
C.very funny or interesting
D.that often takes place
小题3:Why was the author so happy when hearing his son’s answer “YES”?
A.Because his son respected the author and was very understanding.
B.Because it was the fist time he communicated with his little son.
C.Because his little son didn’t make trouble and behaved quite well.
D.Because his son could understand the meaning of SpongeBob.
小题4:The author mainly tells us in the last paragraph that         .
A.one’s memories can last all one’s lifetime.
B.we should forget the unpleasant memories.
C.good memories are the treasures of our life.
D.how we should deal with our memories.
For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小题1:What does the underlined word “everything” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.All the problems.B.All the properties.
C.The whole world.D.The absolute truth.
小题2:What can be inferred about the author?
A.The author is a Samoan.
B.The author succeeded losing weight.
C.The author has been troubled by her weight.
D.The author probably got wounded in an accident.
小题3:According to the text, those who have lost weight first and gained it back later feel _______.
A.angry about the regained weight
B.indifferent to the regained weight
C.optimistic about future plans on weight control
D.they should give up their future plans on weight control
小题4:The text tries to stress the importance of ____________.
A.body sizeB.attitudes toward life
C.culture differenceD.different beauty standards
