This is my third story．When I was seventeen, I 36 a quote （引文） that went something like, " If you live each day 37 it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right．" Since then, for the past thirty-three years, I've looked 38 the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, what would I do ?" And when there was no answer for too many days in a 39 , I know I need to change something．
About a year ago I 40 from cancer．The doctors told me it was incurable, and that I should 41 to live no longer than three to six months．They advised me to get my 42 in order, which is doctors' code （代名词） for "prepare to 43 "．Later when the doctors 44 the cells taken from my pancreas （胰腺） under a microscope, they found it turned out to be a very rare form of cancer that is 45 with surgery．I had the surgery and, 46 , I'm fine now．
This was the closest I've been to facing 47 , and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades．Death is the destination we all 48 ．No one has ever escaped it．And that is 49 it should be, because death is very likely the single 50 invention of life．It clears out the old to make 51 for the new．Your time is limited, so don't waste it living 52 life．Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out （ 盖过） your own inner 53 ．And most importantly, have the courage to 54 your heart and intuition （直觉）．They 55 already know what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．

口算题天天练系列答案I believe being honest is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days，like 36 and straightforward. And it’s still what 37 a man a good citizen. This is my code(准则)，and I try to live by.
I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five years， 38 there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers have to be rough and tumble(乱作一团) fellows to be able to take it in New York. You've got to be 39 to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day.
Because taxi drivers are tough，people get the 40 impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will act as 41 fellows. Almost every week you read in the papers where a taxi driver 42 money or jewels or like that people leave in their 43 . If they weren't honest，you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers. One time，I found an emerald（翡翠的）ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of suitcases that day，so I went back to where I had 44 her off. It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her 45 to her. I didn't get as much as “thank you.” 46 ，I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she 47 .
I was born and brought up in Ireland until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I 48 several jobs to earn a few dollars before joining the army in World War I. After being discharged(退伍)，I bought my own car and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy 49 ，but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit 50 for a rainy day(一时之需). In all my years of driving a taxi，I have never had___51__ with the public，not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong(顽固的) once in a while，I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.
People ask me about tips. As far as I know， 52 everyone will give you something，because most Americans are 53 generous. I always try to be nice to everyone，whether they 54 or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish（教区）. I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time，and the 55 I try，the easier it gets.

It happened when I was a little girl. I can remember neither the beginning nor the end, but whenever I 36 it, tears flow down my face.
When I was young, my family led a(n) 37 life in the country. As you can imagine, many country roads are difficult to walk on. One 38 we were visiting some relatives and the 39 was very bad. It began to 40 on our way back home. Dad carried me on his 41 . Mom gave her overcoat to my 42 . We walked together through the rain for more than an hour.
I was fat at that time and Dad 
must be 43 to hold me for such a long time. He 
almost 44 down many times. In hope of 45 my father’s burden, I tried to carry myself, 46 I achieved nothing since I was just a little kid.
When we arrived home, the inside of our house was 47 with rain water. The rain had come 48 our leaky（有裂缝的）roof and water was everywhere.
Mom put bowls all around the house 
to try to 49 the rain. Then she put me and my elder brother to 50 , carefully placing us on the remaining 51 place. I fell asleep soon. When I opened my eyes, I found Dad and Mom were 52 in chairs, both having caught bad colds.
This is my very earliest 53 . Though the evening has long passed, and now we live a happy life, I won’t forget the rain we 54 together. The rain, that evening, and especially my parents’ 
55 , will stay in my mind forever.

How to make friends with people from a different culture? T
he rules are as follows:
Appreciate the Person.
Most Americans like to be recognized as individuals as someone special with unique personalities. Therefore, never say, “You’re from America so I want to be your friend.” Also don’t imply that the reason why you approached them is that you wanted someone to practice your English with. That t
urns people off. Instead try saying,” You seem like a real nice and interesting person and I would like to get to know you better.” This way, they are much more inclined to be friendly because you see them as a three dim
ensional person and appreciate them for who they are in the inside. And by doing so, you not only learn about Americans and practice your English, but also gain a r
eal friend in the process.
Quit Calling Us Foreigners.
Please avoid calling a foreigner a foreigner especially in his face. The word makes people feel like an outsider, and even unwelcome, suggesting separation and insurmountable differences, widening an already existing gap in the situation. When Americans travel, they rarely say, “ I’m foreign to your place.” They tend to say, “ I’m new in town. I’m new here.” The reason is because new and unfamiliar things can become old and familiar. But can foreign things become native? Aha? You catch my drift.
Just Do It.
Some students like to be told about American culture but are less interested in spending the time and the effort to actually experience it. As Americans always say, “ Get your hands dirty.” You should have first hand and hands on experience, or you’ll never really know anything.
Find that Common Language.
Now I must stress the importance of finding a common language. By that I don’t mean Engli
sh, Chinese, German, French, etc. I mean finding something you have in common with another person on a spiritual and philosophical level: likes, dislikes, worldviews, ways of thinking , and attitudes toward life. And to start, you must first enhance your knowledge of the particular culture from which your potential new friend comes form.
【小题1】The underlined sentence “ Get your hands dirty” means .
| A．get involved | B．start with dirty work |
| C．talk about American culture | D．don’t wash your hands too often |
| A．avoid talking about their homeland |
| B．recognize their personalities |
| C．obey rules of communicating with friends |
| D．needn’t practice English while playing together |
| A．I am longing to make friends with an American. |
| B．This is my friend Tom, who is a foreigner. |
| C．There must be a gap between us in many things. |
| D．You’ve got a great personality. |
