One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town claiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered, and they all       his heart for it was perfect.
Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, "Why, your heart is not       as beautiful as mine!" The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was full of      . It had places where pieces had been       and other pieces put in, but they didn't       quite right. In fact, in some places whole pieces were      .
The young man laughed, "Compared with your heart, mine is perfect and yours is a      ." "Yes," said the old man, "Yours looks perfect but I would never swap with you. You see, every scar(伤疤) represents a person to whom I have given my      . I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them,       often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the       place in my heart. So the scars have me remember the love we      . Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't       a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty       — giving love is taking a chance. Although      , they stay open. So now do you see what true       is?"
The young man walked up to the old man,       his perfect heart, and tore a piece out. He       it to the old man. The old man placed it in his      , then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the young man's heart. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect       but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart       into his.
How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!

相关题目
I feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image.
In a lot of women’s eyes I’ve probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink princess Barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆满) Vera’s room. But I will say something about Barbie: I played with that stuff for a solid decade when I was growing up and here I am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. I have a successful career. If Barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image I highly doubt I could list all of the accomplishments.
But I get it too. It’s hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. I have girlfriends around whom I have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. I look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why I’ve never been able to be as skinny as she was. And then I have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. Men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? I’ve never tried so hard to look good when I know I’m about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. It’s she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.
And I have no doubt that the two of you, Veronica and Juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. You will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. The thing I’ll tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.
Don’t take these on. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. And know that the reason they push you down in the first place is just because they’re scared.
小题1:From the second paragraph, we can infer that the author _____.
A．regrets buying so much Barbie stuff for her daughters
B．thinks loving Barbie makes her not confident about her self-image
C．owes her beauty and success to playing with Barbie
D．thinks playing with Barbie caused no damage to her beauty and success
小题2:In the third paragraph, the author intends to show that _____.
A．women tend to be proud of their beautiful friends
B．she cares much about her appearance
C．she feels proud of her mother’s beauty
D．women tend to admire others and compare with each other
小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The author is disappointed that few men take notice of her slim figure.
B．The author cares more about looking good before her girlfriends.
C．Girls should constantly compare themselves with others to improve their beauty.
D．Only the prettiest girl can feel confident about her beauty.
小题4:The author advises her daughters that _____.
A．they should be cautious not to be pushed down by others
B．they should care much about their strong points instead of appearances
C．they should try to grow taller than others
D．they should care more about others’ opinions

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

I have a cousin who’s a farmer. If you saw him on market day with his old boots and worn hat, you might think he was a tramp (流浪汉). But he’s either buying or selling       for thousands of pounds. He doesn’t have a luxurious lifestyle, but the farmhouse, dozens of acres of land, machinery, cattle, chicken and crops must be worth a fortune. You might describe him as a       man, but he doesn’t look like that.
My father owned a shop selling newspapers, cigarettes, birthday cards, toys, books and magazines. The shop       a comfortable life for us, but we weren’t rich. The only luxury was that my father owned a car when most people in our town couldn’t afford one,      professionals such as doctors and lawyers.
My point is that       can be misleading. You often can’t       the rich from the way they look.
I once met Richard Branson, the Virgin Airlines tycoon (巨头).He’d       a hot balloon across the Atlantic and landed in the Irish sea. When he was rescued, he was wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a sneaker. You’d       have guessed he was a multimillionaire.
Andrew Bruce, the 11th Earl (伯爵) of Elgin,       a group of press people to his luxurious home in Fife, Scotland. His      , the 7th Earl of Elgin was famous for removing and transporting to Britain priceless sculptures from the Parthenon, a very famous temple in Greece. The so-called Elgin Marbles can be seen in the British Museum. The Earl’s castle was       cold, despite a fire burning in the hearth (壁炉). He explained to us,“I’m sorry it’s so cold, but you should know that a gentleman’s house is always cold.”
There you have it:     doesn’t always bring comfort.

There’s a body of water in Israel that is actually below sea level. Water constantly runs into it, but, because of the law of gravity (万有引力定律)，nothing can flow out of it. Do you know the name of this famous lake? It’s called the Dead Sea. It’s called this because no living thing could live there. The water is almost dead, compared to what happens with “living water”.
When you think of the term “living water”, the image that comes to mind is a rushing river that is flowing. It’s filled with life and movement. It doesn’t just “receive”, but is also “giving” simultaneously.
Many of us believe that we need to receive more of something in order to be happy. Whether what we desire is money or something else, we think we need more of it in order to be fulfilled.
As a result, we begin to operate in fear and therefore don’t give anything because we’re afraid that we won’t have enough. The result? Like the Dead Sea, we become lifeless. Life is meant to flow. when a pool stops flowing, it becomes stagnant(停滞的). Stagnant water breeds disease and death. It can’t breathe. It can’t receive any more. If nothing is flowing out, there’s no room for anything else to come in.
The solution? Give. As you give, you’ll receive. It’s a universal law. You see it at work everywhere. we’ve somehow been deceived （ 欺骗 ）into believing that if we don’t give, we’ll have more. Or we’re afraid that if we do give, we won’t have anything left. On one hand, this seems to make sense. But it doesn’t work. Because when we don’t give, we shut off the flow of what’s coming in.
小题1:What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The development of the Dead Sea
B．The special character of the Dead Sea
C．The position of the Dead Sea
D．The present situation of the Dead Sea
小题2:According to the passage, people wouldn’t like to give because________.
A．they are really poor in fact B．they don’t know how to give
C．they don’t know who to give D．they are still not satisfied
小题3:According to the passage, if you refuse to give, you will___________.
A．be like a pool with stagnant water
B．have enough space for what you’ll receive
C．need something more to be satisfied
D．do everything according to the law
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Give and you’ll receiveB．The secret of the Dead sea
C．A universal lawD．come in and come out
Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with.     , sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people      . But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are      . Friends sometimes don’t get on well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will       and become friends again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very      . We miss them very much, but we can call them and write to them. And we can       new friends. It is encouraging to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? Friends can make us feel happy. Being happy helps you      well. If someone cares about you, you take       care of yourself.
