8．Sally Donovan is cooking when a paper plane flies across the kitchen and lands at her feet．She picks it up，unfolds it and finds a child's sketch （素描） of a tear-stained face with a speech bubble saying："I'm sorry I was naughty-I'm a bad person．"
   Sally，42，draws a big smiley face on the back of the paper with"I love you，Rose，and we're always going to look after you．"Then she folds it up and launches the plane back into the living room where her nine-year-old daughter is watching TV with brother Jamie，13 and dad Rod，40．
Jamie often makes pictures for his parents too-like the one showing a swift river with them on one side and him trapped on the other side．
It's one of the many unusual ways that Sally and Rob have learned to communicate emotionally with their abused children in an astonishing eight-year journey of hope，healing and love．
Jamie was just four and half-sister Rose one when they were adopted by the Donovans in 2005．The youngsters had been taken from their natural mother and placed in foster care after a series of cruelty and neglect．They were left alone，hungry，and witnessed home violence on a regular basis．
Sally and Rob spent three years trying for a baby before deciding to adopt，and were well aware of the youngsters'poor background．But they were still unprepared for raising a child permanently scared by abuse or the lack of support on offer．
But now Sally has written a brilliant and heart-touching account of their family struggle in a book called"No Matter What"．Sally said："These kids come to you with a story that what happened to them was their fault-because they are bad and unlovable．To show them they are loveable and none of it was their fault takes a lot of time．They both still say"I'm bad"．Jamie is less stuck on it now but whenever life deals him a knock，he will fall back into‘that happened because I am stupid，I'm rubbish，I'm bad'．"
Sally's book is humorous，heart-touching and so wildly honest that academics，charity bosses，parents and adoptees are praising it as a major contribution to child welfare work．
21．Sally and Rob adopted the two children mainly becauseC．
A．they knew the children's background very well
B．they wanted to help the children out of trouble
C．they couldn't have children of their own
D．they couldn't bear the cruelty done to the children
22．Why did the two adopted children still say"I'm bad"？C
A．They know clearly they are not lovable enough．
B．They often put the situation in an embarrassment．
C．What they suffered rooted deep in their minds．
D．They are honest of what they have done．
23．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage？B
A．Rose was a baby when adopted by Sally and Rob．
B．Sally has written a book about how to adopt children．
C．Jamie still blames himself for whatever happens to him．
D．There is still a long way to go for helping the children out．

16．Dear John，
My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life．This past year has been one of the hardest for me．I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life．In January，after two years of being together，my boyfriend left me．
I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work，but it wasn't until this March that I told myself"no more negativity"as you taught readers in your blog．
Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive．When people walk in the front door，I'm the first face they see，so I smile big when I say"good morning"to them，especially on Mondays．Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help，I offer it with an open mind．The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted．
One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job．Yes，it was not an important position，but when I was passionate （热情的） about it，I could make my life fulfilling．
All in all，I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me．So thank you so much，John．My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction，Take care!
Sincerely，
Amber

19．At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children，the father of one student
delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by those who attended．H e began with a question．"Everything God does is done with perfection．Yet，my son，Shay，cannot learn and understand things as other children do．Where is God's plan reflected in my son？"
The audience was stilled by the question．The father continued，"I believe that when God brings a child like Shay into the world，an opportunity to realize the Divine（意图） Plan presents itself．And it c omes in the way people treat that child．"
    Then he told the following story：
    Shay and I walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball．Shay asked，"Do you think they will let me play？"
    I knew that most boys would not want him on their team．Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly，much less connect with the ball．So I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play．The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates．Getting none，he took matters into his own hands and said，"We are losing by six runs（得分）．The game is in the eighth inning（回合）．He can be on our team and we will try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning．"
    In the bottom of the eighth inning，Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three．At the top of the ninth inning，Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield．
    In the bottom of the ninth inning，Shay's team scored again．They had the potential to win．Would the team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game？
    Surprisingly，Shay was given the bat．At last，understanding what the boy's intentions had been，the boys from both teams helped Shay win the game for the team and Shay was cheered as the hero．
"That day．"said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face，"the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of the Divine Plan into this world．"
7．Why did the father think most of the boys wouldn't let Shay join them？A
A．Because they knew Shay was anything but good at playing baseball．
B．Because they knew Shay was physically disabled．
C．Because they didn't get on well with Shay．
D．Because it was a very important game and they couldn't afford to lose it．
8．The sentence"Although no hits came his way，he was obviously very happy just to be on the field．"should be put at the end ofC．
A．Paragraph 5                          
B．Paragraph 8
C．Paragraph 6                     
D．Paragraph 9
9．What can we infer from the passage？A
A．The opponent team let Shay score purposely．
B．Shay's team would have lost the game without him．
C．It was quite by accident that Shay scored．
D．Shay's team let him play because they didn't take the game seriously．
10．The underlined word"juncture"can be explained byD．
A．an important game                B．a particular place

Dear Yang Hui，
I heard you'll have a two-weeks summer holiday and have decided to visit as much new places as possible．I don't think it's a good idea．My friend Li Hua goes to Europe last July．He visited four countries，and stayed for only three days in each of the country．He was always in hurry．Li Hua was neither on a train or a bus almost every day．When he returned back from Europe，he was very tiring．So I suggest that he travel to one country and visit only one city．Choose a city on the coast，or you'll be able to have a good rest at the seaside．
Best wishes!
Yours，
Wang Feng．
