Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n)   1  of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing   2  , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the   3  qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to  4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her  5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the   6  to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving   7  without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and   8 our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will   9   and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong   10  arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply   11  and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes   12 . The other person can   13  us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends   14 . By doing this, we will   15  misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, as we take care of our children.

You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
小题1:You can see the book because_______.
A．your eyes are close to it B．it reflects some of the sunlight
C．it has light of its ownD．your eyesight can get to it
小题2:The underlined word “luminous” means_______.
A．visibleB．all colorsC．giving off lightD．sunlight
小题3:________ have light of their own.
A．The sun and the moonB．The stars and the earth
C．The sun and the starsD．The moon and the earth
小题4:Which of the following is true?
A．All the things you can see give off light.
B．Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C．The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
D．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.
For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work? Is it effective?
Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it’s used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you aren’t around.
To develop responsible, self-disciplined kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in your family. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause ( our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), this message can have a big impact.
This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, they’ll be more disciplined, and they’ll control their emotions better. When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them. 
“Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior,” said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. “Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards.
小题1:According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment, ______.
A．they may lose interest in their work
B．they may appear to be well-behaved
C．they may change to another person
D．the results will be worse than usual

A．Parents should promote certain ideas to help children develop.
B．Children should be responsible for their discipline.
C．Children should help build a good family atmosphere.
D．No children will adapt to society without their parents’ help

A．rewardsB．aimsC．apologiesD．doubts
小题4:According to the passage, Alfie Kohn would agree that parents should ______.
A．never pay attention to the way their children do things
B．show their children how to behave by example
C．never punish their children
D．help their children establish good values
小题5:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Do you often reward your children?
B．Should parents reward their children?
C．When should parents reward their children?
D．What can parents reward their children with?
According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ’good job’ or ’nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students.
"It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."
小题1:According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.
A．always look for praise
B．increase self-confidence
C．become strong
D．do better in their studies
小题2: In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.
A．make them live more happily
B．let them do more difficult work
C．help them do better in school
D．encourage them to improve
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A．Praise makes children become successful.
B．Children don’t know what they’re really good at.
C．The same praise for all children has no meaning.
D．Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children’s strengths.
小题4: What is the last paragraph about?
A．It’s important to have the habit of praising children.
B．Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C．We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D．What children with high self-confidence are like.

Sony and Toyota are struggling. But one brand name is booming (繁荣) in Japan during the economic slowdown—Mickey Mouse.
According to the company that runs Tokyo Disneyland, Japan’s busiest theme park will be more packed than ever over Christmas and New Year’s Day. Despite the bad economy, it’s already been a record year for an escape which is cheaper than the average night out in pricey Tokyo.
“Here, economic depression (萧条) seems a world away,” visitor Namie Katsunuma said. “This is the only place where I can totally forget the economic worries and hardships of my life.”
The single mother’s salary at an auto factory was cut in November but, with her $500 yearly pass in hand, she makes the 95-km journey from her home to Tokyo Disneyland every couple of months.
The park’s operator, Oriental Land Co, estimates (估算) a record 26.5 million people will visit Tokyo Disneyland and its nearby sister park, Disneysea, during the financial year ending in March. The company is forecasting sales of a record $4.2 billion, up almost 10 percent.
“In a way, the economy works well for Tokyo Disneyland,” said Hiroshi Watanabe, an economist at the Tokyo-based Daiwa Research Institute. “Because of the economic depression, people have stopped buying cars and houses or going to Hawaii, and Tokyo Disneyland offers an affordable and pleasant alternative.”
Around the world, Disney’s theme parks have been a bright spot for the brand this year as people seem to look for an escape from bad times.
小题1:According to the passage, what happens to Tokyo Disneyland this year?

A．It costs less money to play here than in any other theme park.
B．People have a new understanding of amusement.
C．The economic depression has changed people’s plans to spend money.
D．Visitors seek an escape from economic depression.
小题3:What does the underlined word “alternative” mean in the sixth paragraph?
A．choice.B．park.C．time. D．trip.
小题4:According to the last paragraph, what is the writer probably going to write?
A．The theme parks that attract most visitors.

Suppose someone gave you a pen---a sealed(密封的),solid?coloured pen. You couldn’t see how much 21 it had. It might run dry  22  the first few tentative (试探的) words or last just long and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don’t know when the ink will  24 .
Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to  25 a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything.  26  picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, 27 .But if you do decide to use it, what would you  28  it? How would you  29  the game?
Would you plan and plan before you ever  30  a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never didn’t even start  31 ? Or would you take the pen  32 ,plunge right in and Just do it, struggling to keep up  33  the twists and turns of the torrent (急流)of words that take you where they take you?
Would you write cautiously and  34 ,as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend to believe that the pen would write forever and go on accordingly?
And what would you write about:Love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? 35 ?
Would you write to  36 just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing about others?
Would you even write? Once you have the pen ,no  37 says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble(潦草地写)？Doodle(涂鸦)or draw? Would you stay in or on the  38 ,or see no lines at all, even if they  39 there? There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?
Now,  40  someone gave you a life…

I had the meanest mother in the world．While other kids ate candy for breakfast．I had to have cereal, eggs and toast．Others had cakes and candy for lunch, while we 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 （耻辱） because she made our clothes herself, just to save money．

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．

My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.
小题1:Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
A．Some countries where he could set up clinics.
B．Some African countries where flu broke out.
C．The places where the earthquakes happened.
D．The places that the horrible disasters struck.

B．Busy and risky.
C．Meaningful and helpful
D．Frightening and depressing.
小题3:The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.
A．who are robbed, killed, or wounded
B．who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C．who like to take adventures
D．who have lost homes because of disasters.
小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.
B．What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
C．The doctor’s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.
D．With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.
