Several   49 later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I   50  who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was  51 !

I   53 how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever   54 .
He began to tell me how,  55 he lay there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could  56 me holding his hand the whole time. Mr Gillespie  57 believed that it was my voice and  58 that had kept him alive.

Wishing to encourage her young son to make more progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually found his way through a door marked “NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. To her horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great pianist made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy’s ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.” Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a melody. Together, the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and, as it finished, they cheered.
That’s the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren’t exactly graceful flowing music. But when we put our trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life’s work can be truly beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, “Don’t quit, and keep playing.”

How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.
A.doesn’t need improvingB.couldn’t be improved
C.will be better some dayD.will be worse in the future
小题2: What does the author think of the woman’s life?
A.PositiveB.PassiveC.ColorfulD.Disturbing
小题3:Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?
A.Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B.Your luck can be changed by your own efforts.
C.You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D.You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
小题4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________.
A.positive thinking B.positive action
C.hope for the bestD.intention to succeed
小题5: The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________.
A.understand yourselfB.improve your life
C.believe in yourselfD.change your normal way

Wings of Angel 
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not   36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much   37  than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people   38  at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   39  and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me   40  because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   41  Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would   42  me. That’s when I first heard her voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No idea.”
“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our   43  started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche (处境) — until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, she saw my   44 . She just stared.
My heart sank. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   45  me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know   46  your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced. I begged in my heart for her to   47 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered   48 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”  
I was   49 . I looked into her eyes and her kindness touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   50  myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

Impossible cases are not forever. While it is impossible for one person, it is possible for another. In a word, everything is possible.
Someone says, “Success belongs to those who can look at the complex challenges offered by the world as inspiration.” So your challenges are golden opportunities for success. How can there be miracles if there are no obstacles? How will you chase the storm if there is no storm? You need challenges to reveal your ability. Success doesn’t come out of nothing; success comes from the problems you face. Those who refuse to give in come out smiling.
Robert X. Perez says, “The seeds of success spring from failure’s ashes.” Failure is not defeat; it is the pointer to do better than what you just did. You have to know that you are in a constant study of life. What you face is for your training. Samuel Aidoo says, “Each failure is simply another chapter in the story of our lives. To fail is to understand what not to do. Remember it and don’t give up until your goal is achieved.”
What do you do when you face difficulty? Yeah, life is difficult, but you do not give up. Have a positive and calm outlook on your circumstances(状况) and make the best of them. You may learn something new. You can develop mental toughness. Mental toughness means to be able to see the long-term gains rather than be put off by short-term pains. Once you have this toughness, you have the winning edge(优势).
The only things in life you ever really regret are the chances you didn’t take. You will regret when you see the consequences of not seizing the opportunities when they arose. Take chances every day!
小题1:The main point of the passage is that  ____________.
A.success comes out of nothing
B.never give up and you may achieve success
C.everything is easy to deal with
D.impossible things do not exist
小题2: According to the author, success often comes to people who  ____________.

A.We can perform miracles by overcoming difficulty.
B.We will seem greater after overcoming difficulty.
C.Everyone will fail for numerous times because of difficulty.
D.Most of us can’t show our ability because of difficulty.
小题4:From Paragraph 3 we can learn that ____________.
A.failure means great success in the future to everyone
B.all people can achieve success if they keep leaning
C.most people end up with failure because it often happens
D.failure can help people to achieve success if they don’t give up
