  Dear John,

  I'm sorry you didn't get the part you tried out for in that play.I know how much you wanted to be in the play.Now you feel that maybe acting isn't the right future for you.I think you're wrong.You're a good actor.Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group's play? You were excellent.People clapped(鼓掌)every time you walked on stage(舞台).Even the other actors loved you.

  All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job.It's part of an actor's life.Even famouse actors don't get every part they want.I think you should give acting another chance.You love it so much, and you're good at it.Don't be discouraged because you lose one part in the play.Wait a bit, and try for another one.After all, you can always give up some other time.

Love,

Jane

Dear John,

Even the other actors loved you.

All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famouse actors don't get every part they want. I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you're good at it. Don't be discouraged because you lose one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all , you can always give up some other time.

(湖北省部分重点中学2009届高三第二次联考)

D

y brother-in-1aw opened the drawer of my sister’s cupboard and took out a package.He said。“This is a new silk slip(衬裙).Jane bought it in New York nine years ago.She never wore it.She was saving it for a special occasion.I guess this is the occasion.”

It was an exquisite(精美的)handmade silk slip.The price tag on it was still attached.

He took the slip from me and put it on the bed,with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician(殡仪员).His hands fingered on the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me.“Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion.Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.’’

His words have changed my mind.I’m spending more time with my family and less time on meetings.I’m trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.I’m not saving anything.I wear my good skirt to the market if I feel like it.I can pay $28·49 for a small bag of  groceries.I’m not saving my good perfume for special parties.If something is worth seeing or hearing or doing,I want to see and hear and do it now.“Someday” has disappeared in my vocabulary

I’m not sure what Jane would have done if she had known she’d not be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted.I’m guessing Jane would have called family members and a few close friends.She might have apologized to her former friends for their past quarrels.She’d have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.

I’m trying hard not to put off, hold back。or save anything that would add laughter to our fives.Every morning I open my eyes。I tell myself that every day, every minute,every breath is a gift.

73.Why didn’t Jane wear the brand new silk slip?

A.She meant to wear it on her death.     B.She wanted to save it for her sister.

      C.She thought it was too dear.               D.She saved it for a special occasion

74.After Jane’s death.the author begins to            

A.treasure the simple pleasure of life               B.spend more time having meetings

C.save more money for necessities                 D.care about her special parties

75.What does the underlined sentence “Someday” has disappeared in my vocabulary.”(in Paragraph4)mean?

A.I prefer to leave out the word “someday” in my speech.

B.“Someday” is found missing from my old dictionar.

C.I will not delay enjoying the pleasure of life

D.I decide not to enjoy something good at the moment·

76.It can be inferred from the passage that             

A.it makes sense to follow our dream

B.we tend to leave good things until the last minute

C.we should take pleasure in our work

D.it is meaningless to save something for the future
