I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him. We were both very _36_, he stranger and I. Then we went    37  our way after saying good-bye.
But at home a   38  story is told. Later that day, when I 39  supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very   40 . When I turned back, I     41  knocked her down. “Don’t be in my   42   !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart     43 .On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay     44  in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 45  with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily _46   .Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She    47 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a    48 , and you never saw the         49  in her eyes.
By this time, I felt very       50  and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her __51__, “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the  52_  .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I       53  have shouted at you that way.”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 54 .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”
Through this    55 , I realize what FAMILY means:
FAMILY="(F)ATHER" (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor,a doctor named Gibbs. When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was   1  trees. His house sat on ten acres(英亩), and his life’s goal was to make it a   2 .
The good doctor had some interesting   3  concerning planting trees. He never  4  his new trees. Once I asked why. “Watering plants will   5  them.” He said, “If you water them, each younger generation will grow   6 . So you have to make things  7  for them.”
He talked about how watering trees 8  shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow  9  roots in search of water. He’d planted an oak and,   10  watering it every morning, he’d   11  it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s   12 .
Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I returned and walked by his  13  and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re incredibly   14  now.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two   15 . I stand over them and pray for them.   16  I pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my   17.
I know my children are going to encounter hardship. Life is tough, whether we want it to be or not. Too many times we pray for   18 , but that’s a prayer seldom met. What we need to do is pray for   19  that reach deep into the earth  20  they won’t be swept apart when the rains fall and the winds blow.

We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we’ve become used to suddenly disappears.  36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I  37  to see—or look at—on my way to work each morning.
For three years, no matter  38  the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On  39  days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime  40  out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 41 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I  42  all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how  43  I expected to see her each morning. You might say I  44 her.
“Did she have an accident? Something  45 ?” I thought to myself about her  46 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had  47  her. I began to realize that part of our  48  life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar  49 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 50  walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are  51  markers in our lives. They add weight to our  52  of place and belonging.
Think about it.  53 , while walking to work, we mark where we are by  54  a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though  55 , person?

I think that sleeping is the most wonderful thing in the world. While 36 I do nothing, but close my eyes, leaving all my work behind. In fact, I __37 _get up early nearly every morning.
My classes begin at 8:00, but the teacher asks us to arrive before 7:15 so we have  38  time to prepare for the class. If you are 39  , you’ll lose one point. And when you reach 10 40 , parents’ visit to school will be a must. Though I think it’s 41 , I still don’t want to lose any points.
One morning, my alarm clock 42 . I woke up with a 43  and found that it was already 7:00. What was worse. I lost six points in a  44 , that is to say, I was late every day that week.

It’s perfect for a lazy cat like me. The first time I 50  it I successfully got up at 6:00 the next morning. Proud of 51 , I took a deep breath and found that the early morning air is surprisingly  52_. I did some reading, finding that English is really beautiful.

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.
“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,” said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses.”
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.
Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.
Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone(荷尔蒙)called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.
When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study.
“Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening(令人发狂的)situation,” Lerner said.
Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.
小题1: What is the story mainly about?
A.The findings of new psychology research.
B.What you can do with anger in certain cases.
C.Different effects produced by anger and fear.
D.Healthier responses in maddening situations.
小题2:Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?
A.It’s better to be angry than to be frightened.
B.Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life.
C.Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful.
D.Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people.
小题3:What does the underlined word “both” refer to according to the passage?
A.Fear and anger.B.Blood pressure and pulse.
C.Blood pressure and cortiso1.
D.Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.
小题4: In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?
A.By showing their optimistic side.B.By reducing their stress.
C.By reducing high blood pressure.D.By taking the place of fear.
小题5:The researchers irritated(激怒)the students by __________.
A.recording their performance secretly
B.asking them to count to 6, 200 again and again
C.disturbing them and making them start all over again
D.criticizing them when they made mistakes
Women who want to succeed at work should resist the temptation to act like men, scientists have said. Studies show that ambitious women are often less likely to get ahead than those who show more female characteristics. However, if they try to adapt, promotion comes their way. The findings, which will let assertive (过分自信的) women down, suggest that the best way for a woman to succeed in a man’s world is to act like a lady.
Past research has shown that women with self-confidence and other characteristics linked with successful management can be put aside at work in favor of gentle types. It is thought that while such characteristics are highly praised in men, ambitious women are penalized for not being feminine enough. Instead of being seen as strong managers, ambitious women are in an unfavorable situation.
In one US study, researchers explored personal details from university students applying for a summer job at a bank. A women applicant who attempted to apply for special wages to pay her transport or living costs was three and a half times less likely to get a job offer than a similar male. In fact, this kind of woman was the least likely to get taken on.
The latest study set out to explore what women who are naturally assertive could do to get ahead in the workplace. Eighty young men and women completed surveys about their personality while studying in college. Around eight years later, the researchers got back in touch with them to find out how their careers were going. Some had been promoted five times, others just once or twice. The results showed that ambitious women who stick to their decisions had been promoted less than more feminine groups. But the ambitious women who made a conscious effort to not appear to be threatening by “self-controlling” their behavior had done better than those who had carried on ignoring others’ views.
小题1: What does the underlined word “penalized” mean in the second paragraph?

小题2:According to the passage, if an ambitious woman and a similar man both ask the company for an extra payment, ______.

小题3:The ambitious women in the latest study ______.
A.had been promoted only once or twice
B.tried hard to be as successful as gentle types
C.were more accepted at work after they controlled their behavior
D.filled in the surveys after they graduated from college
小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Successful management is highly praised in women.
B.Some women will be disappointed by the massage.
C.Men acting like a lady are likely to be promoted at work.
D.The latest study was aimed at how to become a successful boss.
小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?

Being a winner
小题1:          Everyone wants to succeed in their career or life. Sometimes it is easy to get carried away with the eagerness to win and forget about the things in everyday life which are important.小题2:          Education is the tool to succeeding in life and a person’s greatest accomplishments(成就) start with good education. School will prepare you for your toughest challenges and learning as much as you can will only make those challenges easier to face.
小题3:       Families are quite often a person’s biggest asset(财产) when facing a difficult obstacle(障碍). Support from a person’s family can help him or her accomplish anything. It is equally important for you to give your parents and family support when they face their challenges. You can learn from the challenges and accomplishments of others and at the same time know that your support made a difference in the outcome of a difficult obstacle. 
小题4:       But always remember that being a winner is more than coming in first place in a tournament(锦标赛). The most important accomplishments are those that occur in everyday life. 小题5:       
A.Being a winner is important to all of us.
B.Your efforts will pay off sooner or later.
C.Children need to work hard to be a winner in school.
D.Being a winner is something that we all work hard for in life.
E. It is also important to be a winner to your parents and family.
F. It is important to know how to win support from your family or friends
G. Being a good person and treating others with respect make you a true winner.
I was working with a client who was completely burned out on her career and life and then ready for a career change. As we were talking, she said, “I just wish I had meaningful work. I don’t feel like I am making a difference. I am just wasting my life.” This is the theme I hear most often from clients who have been in the workforce awhile.All of us want to feel like we are making a difference. We want to believe our work means something. The problem comes in defining “meaningful work”. What is it? That answer is different for everyone. For some meaningful work might be helping others organize their office. For others it may mean making a million dollars.
What really matters is how you see it. What is meaningful work to you? Take out a piece of paper and answer these questions. How do you define meaningful work? When do you feel like you are really making a difference? What work have you done so far that feels the most meaningful? Write down whatever comes to mind.
What you want to do is meaningful. It is very easy to start judging yourself as being selfish. Stop! Allow yourself to be honest. The fact is when Picasso painted; he was doing it because he liked to paint. He was not thinking, “Oh, I hope this brings joy to others’ lives.” He painted because he wanted to. When Beethoven composed, he did it because he loved music. Even scientists searching for a cure for cancer are immersed in their work because it fascinates them.
Don’t look down on your work. It is easy to downplay the importance of work that feels meaningful. I remember Tony Robbins told a story of talking with the owner of a major company. The man said to Tony, “I wish I could do what you do because it makes such adifference in people’s lives”. Tony said, “You have got to be kidding! Look at what adifference you make. You provide work, health insurance and security for thousands ofpeople!” Don’t underestimate the value you provide.
Take a look at what you have written about meaningful work. Do you see any themes? How do you wish to contribute to this world? Whatever you choose, remember that the greatest gift you can give is to find work that makes you feel fulfilled and delighted. Respect your preference because giving your gifts to the world, whatever they look like, is the most meaningful action you can ever take.
小题1:. What does the writer mean by mentioning the famous people?
A.Famous people are selfish to start work for themselves.
B.Doing meaningful work requires our interest in it.
C.Interest is the best teacher in learning.
D.Honesty makes for the greatest people.
小题2:. When you downplay the value of your work, you tend to think it is ______.
A.quite differentB.very successfulC.not meaningfulD.less important
小题3:.According to the passage, what meaningful job does the writer advise us to take?
A.The one which is popular in society.
B.The one which brings you profits.
C.The one which wins you fame.
D.The one which interests you.
小题4:. The article is intended to ________.
A.explain what is the most important in changing one’s job
B.advise taking an immediate action to find meaningful work
C.suggest we should show confidence and talent in work
D.tell us the problem that the author’s client met
I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party” means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
小题1:What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Choice.B.TryC.Style.D.Goal
小题2:What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?
A There is a strange mix of people.       B. The restaurants are expensive.
C. The bill is not fairly shared.        D. People have to pay cash
小题3:What does the author think of the parties in London?
A.A bit unusualB.Full of tricks.
C.Less costly.D.More interesting.
小题4: What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?
A.Easy-going.B.Self-centred.C. Generous.D.Conservative.
