It was a dark, wet November morning. It seemed like it would take a million years to get to summer again. I thought bears have got it right - what a idea to sleep through the worst part of the year and wake up when spring comes!

“Want some words of encouragement?” a co-worker, seeing my mood, kindly . “You don’t think they would you up?”

“ Today ? No.” I shook my head.

“I used to think so too,” he said, “ I realized the effect my words had on a certain person. Well, it was someone I knew pretty well. I have to say I him rather badly.”

“ You? you are always so positive! How did you do that?”

“I told him I did not like anything about him, really. I told him I did not like his name. In fact, it wasn’t only what I said. I also did pretty bad things to him. When he was hungry, I did not give him the chance to eat food. When he felt like doing something fun, I said to him that having fun was not worthwhile. And worst of all, when he was sick and needed , I did not care. I told him to get up and get to work. And when he did, I never told him he did good work. I was so ashamed him,” he said. “that I wanted to him, but couldn’t.”

“But that was !”

He nodded. “Then one day it all . I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror in the morning. I saw the dark circles under his eyes. I saw the excess weight. I saw the long hair that needed . And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world . Now they were so sad and tired. And there and then I realized he better. So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person .”

Freda Bright says, “Only in opera do people die of love.” It’s true. You really can’t love somebody to death. I’ve known people to die from no love, but I’ve never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can’t love one another enough.

A hear-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to the raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festival meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or --- did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.”

Someone has said that the measure of love for his wife is love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.

Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, “What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family. And love your friends. Love them without measure.”

1.The sentence in the first paragraph “Only in opera do people die of love.” means ________.

D. love can survive forever, though people die at different ages

A. he loves her because he believes that she is sure to receive a raise

B. he has a great way to promote his wife’s love towards him

C. he has a false love for people even if the person is his wife

D. he loves his family members truly, whether they are in good conditions or not

3.From the text, we might say the author ________.

A. refuse any spiritual emotions as embraced and kissed

B. criticizes the attitude of suspicion of the love

C. doesn’t believe there is true love in the world

D. thinks the true love does not expect repayment

Some say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we can’t go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.

EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY

As soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.

BE RESPONSIBLE

There are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you can’t, confess it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isn’t just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate, sensible decisions so you aren’t reeling from(受…影响) the consequences later.

TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

Incredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Don’t let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.

FIND AND BE A MENTOR

Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor(良师益友). One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.

GET THE JOB DONE

It is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, “No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable（不可克服的） it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.”

1.According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is ______.

A. taking part in different activities

B. working hard to get a degree

C. seizing every chance to try new things

D. improving themselves by learning from the others

2.Which of the following about college life is true?

A. Passing on what you’ve learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience.

B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others.

C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.

D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want.

3.What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?

A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning process.

B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.

C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.

D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To give some rules for the college students.

B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.

C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.

D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.

Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures

Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

1.In what way was this expedition different for Larry?

A. His daughter had grown up.

B. He had become a famous diver.

C. His father would dive with him.

D. His daughter would dive with him.

2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A. Larry had some privileges.

B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.

C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.

D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.

3.Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?

A.To protect himself from danger.

B.To dive into the deep water.

C.To admire the underwater view.

D.To take photos more conveniently.

4.What did Larry expect his daughter to do?

A.Become a successful diver.

B.Make a good diving guide.

C.Take a lot of photos underwater.

D.Have longer hours of training.
