My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It has taken many years of   36  my confidence to be able to do that.
I didn’t   37  how short I was until I started school.As time went on,I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be   38  my whole life.I was determined to make my   39  an advantage rather than a disadvantage.My friends became increasingly   40   . They’d help me up the bus steps.If people were cruel,they would take them aside and   41  them.
  42  I lacked in height,I   43  in personality my ability to laugh,even at myself.For example,one time I was   44  the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes.I fell 45   in and yelled for Mother,who was sitting nearby reading the paper.Watching feet   46  everywhere,she laughed and said,“I should leave you in there.” I   47  her.
I’m 47 now,and the   48  have not reduced as I’ve grown older.People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse.They look   49  when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side.During those times,I try to keep a good   50   .

Last weekend, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of   36 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty    37   outside and I had no plans to   38   being in the bright sun. She    39   wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids   40   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt    41  , I decided to help her.
  42   she asked me, “What if we    43   this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and    44   her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with    45    ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n)  46  with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the    47    of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the   48 to do something for others.
All that seemed  49  and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 50    to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   51 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   52   to help clean cars. Passers-by were    53    and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming  54  !
I feel blessed by being    55   by such wonderful and loving souls.

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,   36   to look at each other. But we soon lost the   37    and started playing with each other. In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was   38   family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people.”   39   of my new friends liked her as much as I did   40   they knew she had “problems”. However, every summer we would   41   sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked.
It was last year when I   42   the problem. I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her. Well, she made a new “best friend” and   43   did I. Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself.
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症). I was very   44   at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in   45  . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend   46  deserted her, when people were calling her   47  , but I knew I still   48   her like a sister.
Yesterday she came   49   me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was   50   I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my   51  . You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you   52   me. I   53   you so much, and you didn’t even know you were   54   me.” We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never   55   your friends.

There once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people. He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.
However, to get time for lunch was really difficult be-cause he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.
One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.
The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. As planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.
Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan.
The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shop-keeper felt that he had found the right man.
小题1:What is the problem for the shopkeeper?

B.He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch.
C.He was too busy to have lunch every day.

小题2:Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.?

B.Because the shopkeeper invited him to lunch then.
C.Because the shop was closed at that time.

If you’re finding it tough to land a job, try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following:
Set your target.
While you should always keep your options open to changing your mind , you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job. A job-hunt with a clear target will surely help you achieve better results than an aimless one.
Schedule plenty of interviews.
Use every possible method to get interviews-answering ads, using search firms , getting in touch with companies directly , surfing the Web, and networking(向同行请教 ). Even if a job is not perfect for you, every interview can become one of your positive experiences.
Follow up
Even if someone does not hire you ,write them a thank –you note for the interview. Then, some weeks later, send another brief  letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for—or any other position , for that matter –is open. Do this with every position you interview for, and you may just catch a break!
Make it your full-time job
You can’t find a job by looking sporadically( 断续地) . You have to make time for it. If you’re unemployed and looking , devote as much time as you would to a full –time job. If you have a job while you’re looking, figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time.
Network vertically(纵向地 )
In the search stage of your job hunt , talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. They’ll have an accurate and deep understanding that people at your level won’t have , and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired .
Keep your spirits up
Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do, keep up your confidence , continue your efforts, and think positively, and eventually you will get a job you want.
小题1:From the passage , it can be learned that to get a job , one should absolutely avoid___.
A.having as many interviews as possible
B.looking without a clear target
C.applying for the same position a second time
D.changing his goal set previously
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It will be of great help for you to seek advice from experienced job hunters
B.There can’t be too much time for you to hunt for a job if you are out of work
C.There is no point having the interview unless a job is perfect for you.
D.There is no need for you to write letters to the company that refused you
小题3:According to the passage , it can better help job hunters get hired by ______.
A.consulting higher level people in their desired industries in advance
B.working out a well organized timetable for their job interviews
C.recommending themselves to the company they desire to work for
D.taking a positive attitude toward their future job–hunt success
小题4:What would be the best title for this passage ?
A.Procedures in Searching for a job
B.Advice for Successful Job Hunters
C.Tricks for Job-hunt Success
D.Guidance from Successful Job Hunters
Abuse can be defined as “to treat wrongfully or harmfully”. There are different categories of abuse that have been recognized and within our case study there appear to be two distinct forms of abuse, family abuse and child abuse. These can be subdivided into terms of physical abuse and psychological abuse. Physical abuse is the intentional physical injury or harm or deliberately not preventing harm occurring. The minimum physical signs seen in our study of James are bruises but they might feel more painful to his heart than the more serious invisible injuries. Emotional abuse is the continual failure to meet basic emotional needs. Emotional development is prevented and well-being harmed. The emotional signs in our case study can be seen in James by his actions of being withdrawn and non-communicative. The behavioural sign to abuse taking place to James is his aggressive behaviour.
The short term effect of physical abuse on James is physical pain. In the long term, injuries that often happen can result in secondary illness and complications, permanent scars or even disabilities. His emotional effects in the short term are a fear of people, withdrawal, and poor relationship with others. The long term emotional effects could be low self-respect, depression, inability to form relationships.
Abuse can arise for many reasons and there are a number of theoretical views which may be useful in clarifying why the abuse has taken place. The female view believes that sex and family roles give approval to a culture of abuse. Considering the historical and fixed ideas, men have power and control. In James’ case he lives in a re-constructed family with the father being rude and a heavy drinker. From a psychological angle, alcohol misuse can bring mental health problems which may increase aggression in the person and so James is more at risk from abuse by his stepfather. The relationship between the mother and James involves a dependency of James on his mother. With other problems in James’ mother’s life, this leads to increasing stress and the inability of his mother to cope with and manage a family with four children borne by two mothers. The attachment theory states that significant separations of a child from the carer in the early years can have an effect on their emotional development and can lead to psychological and social difficulties in later life. The loss of both his father and his half sister’s father with whom he lives may have contributed to his behaviour.
Abusive behaviour can sometimes be the result of mental health problems, brain damage or being abused themselves. By becoming the abuser they believe they are taking control; some even believe that they are not doing anything wrong and cannot stop themselves. When working with individuals who have abused, it is important to be aware that they may go on to abuse again and there is a need to protect the community from the abuser.
小题1:Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “bruises” in Paragraph 1?
A.Slight injuryB.Deep CutC.Body disabilityD.Inner wound
小题2:According to the writer’s case study, which of the following cases can be defined as abuse?

B.A car knocks down a woman but the driver doesn’t take her to hospital.
C.A father never talks to his daughter and shows no interest in what she does.
D.A husband is angry with his wife when she stays out late into the night.
小题3:From the passage we can infer that ______________.
A.James’ step father doesn’t show any concern for his mother
B.James’ mother gave birth to a girl in the re-constructed family
C.James’ stepfather is rude to all the children in the family
D.James’ mother loves her husband more than her own son
小题4:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

C.Abuse and Its CausesD.Effects Caused by Abuse

There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy son. The businessman wanted his son to realize the value of labour and said: “Today, I want you to go out and earn something, failing which you won’t have your meals tonight.”
He went crying straight to his mother. Her heart melted at her son’s eyes. She gave him a gold coin. When the father asked his son what he had earned, the son presented him the gold coin. The father asked him to throw it into a well.
The next day, he asked his son to earn something. This time he went crying to his sister who gave him a coin. When he showed it to his father he again asked him to throw it in a well. Then the father asked him to earn more money.
This time since there was no one to help him, the son was forced to go to the market. One shopkeeper told him he would pay him two coins if he carried his trunk to his house. He did so and sweated plenty. As he returned home he was asked to do the same. The son almost cried out. He could not imagine throwing his hard-earned money like this. He cried, “My entire body is aching. You are asking me to throw the money into the well.”
At this moment, the businessman told him one feels the pain only when the fruits of hard labour are wasted. On the earlier two occasions he was helped and therefore had no pain in throwing the coins into the well. The son had now realized the value of hard work. He promised never to be lazy and to safely keep the father’s wealth. The father handed over the keys of his shop to the son and promised to guide him through the rest of the life.
