Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn’t just want a small    in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo    somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out    and drew the 1,500-mile route along which I would be    from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I    my plans with my dad, he    as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous    from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my    three days now, but there was an inner    going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I    could make it. The other part of me was ready to      to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another      who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey     by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of      . It encouraged me not to      .
As I listened to my      artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was      around me for miles.      , that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes--- millions of them. My arms were so dotted with      that they looked like a topographical map (地形图). But, however      it would be, nothing could stop my advance towards the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.

Last year, for a nationwide teacher conference, I was asked to make a presentation about my classroom. I immediately        to offer to the conference photo collections and mementos （纪念物）that would prove how meaningful teachers’ work was in the world of classroom.
So, for weeks, I looked        the drawers, boxes, and cupboard, hoping to find just the right prints that would tell of the spirit of my school and my community. All through September, I sought photos of lessons activties and accounts I had put away        in my house. I asked my colleagues to help me find images or objects that would        our most famous community members. By mid-October, I had made a list of them. But, I had also found something       , something much more dear, and very rare.
I found photos of Craig, a high school senior, who gave up two weeks one summer to help little kids draw pictures at a camp. I found notes from Calvin whom I had taught for almost six years, and remembered how he always made sure every classmate felt accepted. I found a resume written by Carrie who        herself without the help of parents, and who took night class, and never        one. I found a copy of Macbeth in Portuguese, which belonged to an exchange student who read it first in her own       , before reading it in ours. Thus she could be sure she wasn’t missing anything important in the       . I found all my students, the students who had made me laugh, the students who had        me with their courage and kindness, the students who had        me to question what I knew of the world outside my own world, the students who had inspired me to expect more from them and from myself.
There I was, standing at my filing cupboard reviewing        —not those I had taught, but the many I had learned.
I came to teaching,        most teachers do, hoping to touch the hearts and minds of my students. What I never expected was how        they would touch mine.
Today I walk through the door of my classroom ready to teach, but also        to learn from the young people who are excited to teach me about them —their insights and interests, problems and anxieties, hopes and expectations.

Self-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations. Self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that，within reason, they will be able to do what they wish., plan., and expect. Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met，they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.
People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments（赞美）paid to them By contrast，self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves；they don't feel they have to conform in order to be accepted.
Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents' attitudes are crucial to children's feelings about themselves，particularly in children's early years. When parents pro- vide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage children's moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate.
Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others， especially parents and society. Friends' influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one's self. Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends.

When I was a kid, I was close to my dad, but as I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.
A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.
Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart
It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.

Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.
Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.
Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is probably best to “bite your lip.”
But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情绪), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.
If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.
小题1:According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?
A. “Please let me through”.
B “I can’t speak French well”.
C. “Sorry I said a bad word”.
D. “I’m very angry with you”.
小题2:What does letting out your frustration help you to do?
A．Make others more upset.
B．Feel happier about yourself .
C．Solve a problem calmly.
D．It is no help at all.
小题3:Who is this passage most likely written for?
A．All kinds of people
B．Young children
C．Very angry people
D．People who like to swear
小题4:How does this passage view expressing emotions?
A．They should be kept very private.
B．They need to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one.
C．They should be expressed any way you like.
D．They should only be expressed if they are positive.

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was treated as the apple of their eyes.
One morning, when the boy was around two years old, the husband saw a       bottle open. He was       for work, so he       the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard. The mother,       in the kitchen, totally       the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and       went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It       to be a poisonous medicine meant       adults in small dosages. When the child fell down, the mother       hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was shocked; she was       . How would she       her husband?
When the       father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, "I       You Darling", which is totally       .
Yet, the father did the very right thing. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no       in finding fault with the mother.       , if only he had taken time to put the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching       . She had also lost her only child. What she       at that moment was comfort and sympathy from the husband. That is what he       her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who's to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know and miss out on the       in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support.
