"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you   21   on, something good will happen some day."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had   22  myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 23  every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that  24 stations wouldn't employ a person without   25   since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had   26  in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just  27  for me but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment had 28 as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum  29  me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.   30  I left his office, I asked aloud,"  31 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director  32 . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to  33  an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was  34 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   35    Saturday.

The month of May is not only a graduation month in the US, but also a month when some families hold reunions．Have you ever considered why it is important that families get together in one place for a particular time? I believe the reason is honor．
Family reunions are a time we can take out of our busy schedules and spend quality time with our extended families（大家庭）．It is a time when we can make our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others we love a priority （首要事情）in our life．
Some reunions take place over a picnic lunch and some last a whole weekend．They can be costly and are sometimes crazy．But the truth is, when people you love grow up and move away, getting together for a family reunion and holding that family bond together is so important．
Family reunions build a renewed closeness as we mix with our relatives．We sit and talk about old times and listen to the stories that our older and wiser relatives love to share．As the children run and play and get to know each other, we sit and revisit our childhood memories and enjoy the short time we have together．
The best part of a family reunion is the time spent simply being around the people you care about A reunion shows how important it is to take time for each other．When you receive a family reunion invitation, make it a priority in your life．It's a great chance to see your relatives once again, give them a big hug and enjoy the time you have with them．Life is too short not to!

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank．There I would   36  the peace and quiet, watch the water rush   37  and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of   38  in the trees．I would also watch the bamboo trees   39  under pressure from the wind and watch them   40  gracefully to their original position after the wind had   41  ．
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind．When used in   42  to a person, this word means the ability to readily   43  from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's   44  ．
Have you ever felt like you are at your   45  point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it．
During the   46  you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health．You felt emotionally drained（枯竭）,   47  exhausted and you most likely stood   48   physical symptoms．
Life is a   49  of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments．The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy   50   that take you close to your breaking point, bend,   51  don't break．Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you．
A measure of hope will take you   52  the unpleasant ordeal （考验）．With   53   for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be．The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to   54  if the final result is worth having．
If life gets   55  and you are at your breaking point, show resilience．Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular（土话）—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane（车道）, and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan （about US $700）.
The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief（摆脱贫困）projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
B．The increasing awareness of environmental protection.
C．New trends of life in China’s big cities.
D．The lifestyle of green collars.
小题2:Green collars will     after work.
A．prefer to be left alone
B．have fun with old friends
C．think nothing about work and more
D．do a lot of extra work at home
小题3:What ’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
A．Appreciative.B．Doubtful.C．Negative.D．Neutral.
小题4:The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are        .
A．in heavy polluted areas B．in faraway places
C．in a poor state of educationD．in unfavourable conditions
One cold night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco． There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a    26   practice at the theatre． With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart．I was having    27   handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time． As I walked I thought seriously about    28    both acting and San Francisco．I had    29  too much of city life．   
As 1 walked down the    30    streets under the tall buildings，I felt very small and cold, so I began    31   both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers．Very few people were still out    32   a few homeless people under blankets．
About a block from my    33  , I heard a sound behind me． I    34 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun． The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight． Still，the noise had made me    35   , so I started to run faster． Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I    36    what the noise had been．It  had been my wallet    37  to the sidewalk．
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired any more．I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk    38   for 15 minutes，my wallet was   39 to be found．
Just as 1 was about to quit the    40  , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to   41 ．When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was   42 ．How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an amused look in his eyes, “Is this   43  you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet．
It was already 3 am． by the time I got into bed． I couldn’t get much sleep，but I had got my wallet back． I also had got back some    44  of city life． I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place    45   people were willing to help each other．

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of   36  my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet   37 . Bob often came with me and almost every time he'd   38  to go off and look for something special. I'd always see him walking down the walkway   39  the three yellow roses in his hands. Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart   40  with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the   41  small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I   42  as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,   43  them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but   44 , at these prices, I don't know."
"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every   45  you have together."
She smiled and I saw the feeling in her   46  as she placed the package in her basket and   47  away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then   48  the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the   49  smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and   50  welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses   51 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my   52 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost   53 . How did she know?
Suddenly the   54  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   55  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest(竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970,when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don't know which of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug(拥抱) their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity for nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn't get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn't allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.

When I was 18, I had a motorbike accident that put me in a coma for three months. The doctors said there was little chance of my coming out of it, but my identical twin, Marcus, didn’t believe them and carried on talking to me. My first words when I came to myself were, “Hello, Marcus. ”Even though I had no memory of my own name, or that the woman crying at my bedside was my mother, I knew Marcus immediately; it was like a genetic(遗传的)memory. just felt close to him.
As weeks went by, I still could remember nothing before the accident. Marcus was the only person I could relate to.
I had to relearn everything, and Marcus helped me. Because of my twin I wasn’t scared of having lost my memory; I believed everything he said. He became my memory, telling me about my school, friends, previous girlfriends and holidays, showing me family photographs, and telling me how perfect I was.
With his encouragement I slowly recovered and tried to become the person everyone around me loved. Then years later, when my memories flooded back, I learned that I was anything but perfect—I was troublesome, selfish, and now very angry with Marcus for having lied to me.
But finally I understood. Out of love, Marcus had chosen not to tell me about my dark side. He wanted me to have a fresh start—and in fact I had one. Thanks to him, I was able to get married and have kids. I’m 46 now, and feel as if I’m in the third stage of my life. I know all there is to know, and wouldn’t want it any other way.
