When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My   16  took me by train or by car to a hotel by the   17 . All day, I seem to remember, I   18  on the sands with strange   19  children. We made houses and gardens, and   20  the tide(潮汐) destroy them. When the tide went out, we   21  over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the   22  seemed to shine always brightly   23  the water was always warm. Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country, 24  ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were   25  in one’s pockets or good places where one could   26  ice creams. Each day seemed a lifetime.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good   27  is much the same as it was. I   28  like the sun and warm sand and the sound of   29  beating the rocks. I no longer wish to   30  any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.   31 , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I   32  what my ideal (理想的) holiday will be like when I am   33 . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about   34  who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves   35  on too many ices…

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

Some time ago , I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg .I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there were a whole lot of antique  shops near my home .So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me .I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception .I was quite wrong .The man wouldn’t even look at my chair .
The second shop , though slightly more polite , was just the same , and the third, and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong .
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind .I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper , “ Would you like to buy a chair ?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes , not a bad chair .How much do you want for it , sir ?” “Twenty pounds ,” I said .“OK ,” he said , “I’ll give you twenty pounds .” “It’s got a slightly broken leg ,”I said .“Yes I saw that , it’s nothing .”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited .“What will you do with it ?” I asked .“Oh , it will be easy to sell once the repair is done .” “I’ll buy it ,” I said .“ What do you mean ? You’ve just sold it to me ,” he said . “Yes , I know but I’ve changed my mind .I’m sorry , I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it .” “You must be crazy ,” he said.Then suddenly the penny dropped .“ I know what you want .You want me to repair your chair.” “ You’re right ,” I said .“ And what would you have done if I had walked in and said , ‘ Would you mend this chair for me’ ?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it ,” he said .“We don’t do repairs , not enough money in it and too much trouble .But I’ll mend this for you , shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing .

You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.
You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions - we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.
小题1:What’s the best title of this passage?
A.Choose to Be HappyB.Choose Your Emotions
C.Pretend to Be HappyD.Find Happiness
小题2:The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is ________.
A.she can depend on her husband to find happiness
B.balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an art
C.one can’t rely on someone else to make himself or herself happy
D.happiness can be influenced by outside forces
小题3:Why did the writer mention buying shoes?
A.To use it as an example to show the importance of choosing to be happy.
B.To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.
C.To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.
D.To help to move to the next paragraph easily.
小题4:The writer suggests that we should ________.
A.let others control our feelings
B.respond immediately to others’ words
C.pay more attention to words than actions
D.hold back our feelings properly
Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,
Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train.It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before.
College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.
It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.
Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.
But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.
I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.
I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.
The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.
Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.
Yours most respectfully,
Jerusha Abbott
to Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith
小题1:Jerusha felt “confused” because ______.
A.she had never written to the trustee before
B.she was not familiar with the college yet
C.she could never find the way to her home
D.she had never traveled on a train berore
小题2:Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because _______.
A.he was a total stranger to her
B.she was sure it was a false identity
C.the name was too common
D.nobody would like to be called that name
小题3:The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel______.
A.busyB.restricted by rulesC.pressed for timeD.full of energy
小题4:Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs______.
A.in order to show her respect for him
B.because it was one of his inner quality
C.in older to make them feel closer to each other
D.because she had always wanted a father
After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?
That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.
However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.
In my room, Mom’s voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.
True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.

A.the author’s sight recovered finally
B.reading made the author more sensitive
C.the author’s mother didn’t work to look after him
D.reading made the author not worry about his sight

Frank told us of his childhood. “My dad was a fisherman, and he 36   the sea. It was    37  making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out    38   he caught enough to feed the family.”
“He was a big man, and was   39   from pulling the nets and fighting the seas. When you got close to him, he smelled like the    40  . No matter how much my mother    41   his clothes, they would    42   smell of fish.”
“Every day he drove me to school. When the old truck rattled (嘎嘎作响) down the road, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to    43  . When we reached school, he would give me a kiss on the cheek and    44  me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. I was    45   twelve years old!”
“I    46   the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When he started to lean toward me, I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him in that   47  , and he had this    48   look on his face. I said, ‘Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss.’ My dad looked at me and his eyes were filled with tears. I had never seen him    49  . ‘You’re right,’ he said. ‘You are a big boy...a man. I won’t    50   you any more.’”
   51   began to well up in Frank’s eyes, “It wasn’t long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back.    52   of the boats stayed in that day because of a coming storm, but not dad. He had a big family to    53  .”
“Guys, you don’t know what I would like is to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek, to feel his    54  old face, to smell the ocean on him. I wish I had been a man then.   55   I had been a man, I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

We were talking about engagement when my boyfriend, Jack, had to go to war. I was so afraid of losing him; the only way I could stay sane(保持清醒) was to dance. I became very good and critics praised me, but I could feel was the ache in my heart, no knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. And then one day a letter from him came:“I have lost my leg. I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget me.”
I made my decision there and then I left the city. When I returned I had bought myself a cane(拐杖) and learned to limp convincingly. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. My dancing days were over. No one suspected the story. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter. Then I travelled to the hospital. They had pushed him outside in his wheelchair. I leaned on my cane and limped to him.
I told him he was not the only one who had lost a leg, even if mine were still attached to me. I showed him newspaper clippings of my accident. “ There is a whole life waiting for us out there! And I am not going to carry you—you are going to walk yourself.”
I limped a few steps towards him and showed him what I’d taken out of my pocket.” Now show me you are still a man,” I said. He bent to take his cane and struggled out of that wheelchair. I could see he had not done it before, because he almost fell on his face. But I was not going to help. Finally he managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.
What I showed to him was engagement rings. And I would limp with him for the rest of life.
