I had the privilege to visit the Bridge of Forgiveness in Palawan during the time when I was on the summer’s team.

After the long and exciting week,we had a chance to  21  the place where we were assigned(指定).We  22  the narrow hanging bridge made of two bamboos and a long rope which you can hold  23  for your life as you cross it. I was so afraid of  24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not  25  to crossing so high a bridge  26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other  27 .

“As you cross this bridge,think about  28  difficult,but it is possible”.

Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is  30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be  31  through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.

I didn’t understand my cousin  32  she told me I should  33  all those unfriendly guys with  34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past  35  and guilt will not serve me well.

Once I forgave serious  36  ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I  37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them.

After all,life is good   38  all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be   39  in facing and adversity(逆境)while at the same time it makes me  40  to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch while I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace(丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers.Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction.Begin with a clear conception of what you want.Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them.Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It’s important to visualize(想象)yourself accomplishing your goal.While losers visualize the penalties(不利)of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success.I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference.I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly.I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes.
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort;I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation.So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing.
When the day arrived, I was eager to go.To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day.
【小题1】According to the passage, if you want to be successful, the first thing for you to do is   ________.

A.find the right methodsB.be careful about everything
C.know your abilityD.have a clear goal

C.he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
D.he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one
【小题4】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Define Your Coal
B.Visualize Rewards of Success
C.Overcome the Fear of Air Travel
D.Sleepwalking Through Life

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
Remembering that I’ ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’ m fine now.
This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life. Don’ t be trapped by dogma(教条)—which is living with the results of other people’ s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
【小题1】The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because_________.

A.he had to rest at homeB.his disease couldn’t be cured
C.his disease was not serious at allD.he had to wait for the result of the test
【小题2】How did the author feel after the diagnosis?
A.HopelessB.ExcitedC.OptimisticD.Angry
【小题3】What does the author think of death?
A.He thinks it is impossible to avoid.
B.He thinks it is not the end of life.
C.He thinks it is nothing to be scared of.
D.He thinks it is the beginning of a new life
【小题4】In the author’ s opinion, we should ____________.
A.follow others’ adviceB.take no notice of diseases
C.take exercise and keep healthyD.have the courage to follow our heart
