（2010•江苏模拟）
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today：Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger pay-check…
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, and something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

1.A 推理判断题。根据全文尤其是第二段可知，作者在个人生活方面是一个成功者。B、C两项所述与原文不符；作者热爱生活这一旅程，并非指普通意义上的旅程，故D项错。
2.C 细节理解题。根据文章第五段I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me…可知。
3.A 句意理解题。本句意为：生存容易，过真正的生活并不容易。在作者看来，人们往往只顾谋生而活着，并非过着真正的生活。
4. D 细节推断题。根据第一段I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent（我从不让工作影响自己做一个好母亲）.可知。
