When it comes to friends, people always know this old saying——A friend in need is a friend indeed. The best friend a man has in the world may    him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has       with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good reputation, may         our faith. A man may        the money he has. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are ready to fall on their knees to do us        when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of hatred when        settles its cloud upon our heads. The one        unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never        him, the one that never proves         or distrusted, is his dog.
A man’s dog stands by him in richness and in        , in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the cold wind blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his        side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to         ; he will lick the wounds and sores that come from encounter with the roughness of the world. He will guard the sleep of his master        he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he        . When wealth and reputation fall to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, a deserted person in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of         him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his         . And when the last         of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is         in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends         their ways, there by the grave will the          dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

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.
小题1:According to the passage, winners       .
A.blame themselves rather than others
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.have responsible and able colleagues
D.deal with problems rather than blame others
小题2:The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.improveB.acceptC.avoid D.consider
小题3:When problems occur, winners take them as ______.
A.excuses for their failuresB.chances for self-development
C.challenges to their colleaguesD.barriers to greater power
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Winner’s Opportunity.B.A Winner’s Problem.
C.A Winner’s Secret.D.A Winner’s Achievement.
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.

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.

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
A little part of me thought about going to another checkout line.This one had the shortest    ,there was only one guy in it,but he was in a     and there seemed to be some difficulties     
We stepped in behind him.At first, he       to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the counter.But after a while,I realized that what he was actually doing was      it into two parts.
I offered to help,but he and the checkout lady had it under     .He asked Julie if she would mind putting his     basket away.Then he       for his wallet which was in a bag on one side of his chair.The      he was positioned and the fact he only had one usable arm      this troublesome for him,so I helped there.
The checkout operator came around and gave him his     and the goods he needed to have to hand.She      one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair.
I offered to get the other bigger bag and he said,“No.    you could do me a favor.Take that bag along to the entrance and give it to Angela."
Angela,it    ,was collecting food for people who might      go hungry! I hadn’t even     her before.
This guy,in spite of the limitations,had bought more than twice as     shopping as he needed—and given the bigger bag away to help     people!
He didn’t let the fact that he needed help      him from being a help.He may have been limited    ,but his heart was more than able to overcome all that.

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
