Have you noticed that the majority of human beings seem to focus on the negative? Bad news is often seen in the newspapers, television shows and magazines, but good news are often overlooked.

I saw a woman I was not very familiar with. She is a beautiful woman; every time I see her, I am struck by the smile on her face that can light up a whole room. So at one time I walked up to her and said, “You know, you are like liquid sunshine! Every time I see you, you give me so much joy.” I was not quite prepared for her reaction. She was blown away. Her eyes seemed about to shed tears, and she said, “That is so sweet! That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!” It was as if nobody had ever told her how beautiful her appearance was. I was extremely moved by the moment I had shared with this woman.

Why not take notice of the positive and spread a little sunshine? When you are looking for beauty, you will begin to see it more and more. When you discover it, don’t be afraid to appreciate it. Not only will it make them feel good, it will make you feel good as well. I truly believe the saying, “What goes around comes around.” When you show kindness and sincerity, you will receive it back. You may even discover — much to your surprise — that you become the friend of someone you would never have expected to get along with.

66. The woman had tears in her eyes because __________.

A. the man’s behavior was so rude

B. she was nervous about the man’s words

C. the man told her the fact she didn’t know

D. she was so excited at the man’s praise

A. The wise appreciate one another.

B. Respect yourself, or no one else will respect you.

C. There is kindness to be found everywhere.

D. Everybody should learn to praise others.

68. The best title for the passage probably is _____.

A. Pay attention to the positive B. Everyone likes to be praised

C. Spread a little sunshine D. Each of us has good points

选项标号涂黑。

When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.

It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.

"Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint. " She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes ( 条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!

The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.

My mother shut the ear door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now !" I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.

"Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.

Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

1. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?

A. To introduce Stephanie to her. B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.

C. To put the materials back in the yard. D. To show his artwork to her.

2. In his mother's eyes, the writer __ .

A. was a born artist B. always caused trouble

C. was a problem solver D. worked very hard

3. The underlined word "rainbow" in the last paragraph refers to __ .

A. the rainbow in the sky B. the stripes on the pavement

C. something imaginative and fun D. important lessons learned in childhood

4. It can be learned from the passage that parents should .

A. encourage children to paint

B. value friendship among children

C. discover the hidden talent in children

D. protect rather than destroy children's dreams

Do not miss meals. Before yon leave home for a feast(宴会),have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.

Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

Choose lean meat(瘦肉 ).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California．Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times．Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school．He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers．But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room．His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride．Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident．After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper．

Today we buried our 20-year-old son．He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night．How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time．If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you．”

I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him．I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people．

When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc．, your angry feelings won’t amount to much．

I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance．Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation．The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died．He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you．Got to go to work．Bye．” He gave me something to treasure forever．

If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care．

1．According to the passage, we know that ____．

A．Jim kept to himself B．Jim did very well in his studies

C．Jim’s parents were patient with him D．Jim failed to finish his high school

2．The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 means ____．

A．annoying B．aggressive C．impatient D．thrilling

3．By writing the letter printed in the Palo Alto Times, the author intends to ____．

A．mourn her son’s sudden death in a traffic accident

B．remind people to be cautious of motorcycles

C．advise people to take the chance to express their love in time

D．appreciate more of life than ever before

4．What can be the best title of the passage?

A．Love Your Family． B．Do It Today．

C．Walk with Pride． D．Appreciate Smiles．
