Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.
The other day I was feeling quite      , having just been laid off from my job. With so many       to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.
I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the      . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the       I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.
She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice       me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take       to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.
She might have felt my       for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked       and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her      , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”
She explained to me that she sees so many       people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by       motivational(激励的)music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a        time lately, but you’ve made me       again.”
“I’m happy that I could be       to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
I told her my story and said, “I’m not so       about what to do….”
“You see, here’s the      ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because       comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should       more … lift your head up.”
I was really       by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So       in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get involved” seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his    out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time    you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody     .
Several days later I was still    about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot    the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that    these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey    the US without any money, just    on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support?
The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.
The week I    37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy.    I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept    of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly    I went. I was    by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
In Oregon, a house painter named Mike    the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a    dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or    with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the    to give often gave the most.
I’m    to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was    . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the    of strangers.

Happiness is for everyone. You don' t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can' t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小题1:When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ______.

A．laugh at you	B．play jokes on you

小题2:What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?

A．Congratulations.	B．Oh, so do I.
C．Good luck.	D．It' s just so-so.

A．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.

B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes.

C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

D．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.

小题4:Which of the following is this passage about?

One day, a well-known speaker was invited to give a lecture to an audience of 200. He started his lecture by       a $ 20 bill. He looked around the room, and asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”      started going up.
He said, “I am going to       this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He crumpled up (揉皱) the 20-dollar bill. He then asked, “Who       wants it?” Still the hands were       in the air.
“Well”, he replied,“    I do this ?” And he dropped it on the       and started to step on it with his shoes. He picked it up. Now it was crumpled and       .
“Now, who wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.
“My friends, we have all learned a very       lesson. No matter what I did to the       , you still want it because it doesn’t decrease in     . It is still worth $20, with       we can buy what we need.
Many times in our lives, we are     , and trampled underfoot by the decision we      and the circumstances that come our way. We feel     we were worthless. But no matter what has happened or what may happen to us, you will never       your value. Dirty or clean, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives is determined not by       we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are      . Don’t ever forget it.”
If you       this lesson in mind, it will help you to       again when you fall. Each time it makes you grow much stronger.

We all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.
Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness — and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn’t watch TV.
Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor want it to be.
Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.
In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) is good. We try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.
I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for.

Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental math.
Before World War I we spent out summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim(模糊的)memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys, Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into various investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye ,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack, A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
小题1:According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be

小题2:The first paragraph tells us that the author

A．lost his hearing when he was a child

B．didn’t like his brothers and sisters

C．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood

D．was born to a naturalist’s family

小题3:The author says that his a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he

A．just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries

B．lacks some of the qualities required of scientist

C．has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic

D．comes up with solutions in most natural ways.

小题4:The author can’t remember his clearly because

A．He didn’t live very long with them	B．He was too young when he lived with them
C．The family was extremely large	D．He was fully occupied with observing nature

小题5:Which of the following statements is true?

A．The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist

B．The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industry

C．The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages

D．The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.

What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do? If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you to do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you don’t feel like it. Only in this way will you be able to perfect your talent.
The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid（格子） from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this, you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of the finished cartoons to fit onto a regular comic’s page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarity to your cartoon.
The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope.
Now as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new strip with all new characters. Don’t get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember. If you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind…
小题1:What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life?

A．Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable for your future career.

B．Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living.

C．Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it.

D．Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons.

小题2:The purpose of writing a letter to the president was to ____.

A．get some money to support the later career
