When Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments __   he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to        so many times. He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just        to be a 2000-step process."
Rudolph was born prematurely (早产) and her        was doubtful. At age 4, she had a high fever,        her with a paralyzed leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had        on and began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a       . For the next few years she        one race after another but always came in last. Everyone told her to      , but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race. And then another.         this little girl, who was told she would never walk again, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.
When Bell invented the telephone in 1876, President Rutherford said, "That's an        invention, but who would ever want to use one of them?" In the 1940s, another young        named Carlson took his idea to 20 corporations,        some of the biggest in the country. They all turned him down. In 1947 — after seven long years of rejections! - He        got a tiny company in New York, the Haloid Company, to        the rights to his invention. Haloid became Xerox Corporation we know today.
Character cannot be        in ease and quiet. Only        experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success       . You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience       you really stop to look fear in the face.... You must do the thing you cannot do. And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace（熔炉）. A        is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS!

When I was growing up, I was ashamed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.
　　It was difficult to coordinate（协调）our steps—his slow, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”
　　He never talked about himself as an object of sympathy, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know accurately what a “good heart” is.
　　Unable to join in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.
　　He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”

Today we spent the morning going through our personal belongings .We were looking for items to __      for free at a local park. Not just any items but things people really       . Our aim was not to find things we no longer        but things we use every day that would be        to others.
We packed these things        boxes and added some small toys. We added a list of local addresses and phone numbers of local        agencies. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed. It       : “Please take these items and know that your life is important.      are difficult but these days will pass. We share what we have believing that it will matter. Use the food to nurture your         ; use the blankets to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human        can overcome anything. Do not hold your head        for having a need to stay warm. Someday please do the same when you can.”
This kind        was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was        because it was the right to do. We have often seen        people at the park where we left the belongings. I        that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was        about it and she just replied that it had a hood (兜帽) . Her answer told me why it is I who love her. She liked the coat but knew the hood could        someone from the rain.
Who knows where these gifts of sympathy will       ? How many uses can a blanket serve        what it was designed to do? We never go back and see what happens. It is unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that       .

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want ---an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when your’re wrong---even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong also. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship an honour and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
小题1:What is likely to happen if you have disagreements with your friends?
A．An end to the friendships.
B．Getting experience for the later life.
C．Quarrelling with each other.
D．Sitting down and have a talk.
小题2:The author wrote the article mainly to tell us ________.
A．how to make friends
B．the benefits of making friends
C．what is a true friendship
D．how to mend a troubled friendship
小题3:The underlined word “nurture” probably means ________.
A．mendB．developC．keepD．accept
小题4:What causes the change of friendships?
A．Our characters.B．Our hobbies.
C．Our living habits.D．Our needs and lifestyle.
小题5:Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A．A true friend can never have a disagreement with each other.
B．Most troubled friendships can be mended.
C．You don’t need to apologize when you know you are wronged.
D．Friends are more important than jobs, homes and cars.
My name is Margaret. I have been a professional      for twenty years. I’m always      how sorrow and pain can bring such wonderful gifts as wisdom, patience and love.   , we often get so caught up in the daily necessities and routines that we      the very things that can bring us    and teach us many valuable lessons.
I was hired to      a very special lady. I was to prepare meals for her, make sure she took her medicine     , do light housekeeping, and provide transportation to and from the market and her doctor’s appointments. All of these      were important and necessary so that she could remain     . Our focus was just that -    her to remain living independently.
It was on a cold rainy night. She turned her little head and smelt her
pillow after she had      got into bed. I observed tears running from her eyes. She said, “It’s been such a long time since I’ve had      sheets; I love the      of fresh clean sheets. I couldn’t      the sheets myself anymore. Thank you so much for changing my sheets. ”
Such a simple      as smelling clean sheets brought such great joy to her life. That was the day I      unconditional care. The next day we sat down and      what was important to her, what she liked, and how she had done things all these years. I never knew how much I would enjoy and learn from her      her life experiences with me. She was the sunshine in my life.
I’m so      for the lessons I have learned - the lessons I almost     because I forgot to slow down to look and see the beauty that was right in front of me.

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers, whistling and clapping.
It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.
Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).
Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.
小题1:What’s the article mainly about?

A．b-c-a-d-eB．c-d-b-e-aC．d-b-e-a-cD．e-d-c-b-a
