题目内容

Once upon a time, a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible cave with all kinds of treasure inside it. So he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.
He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.
He crawled(爬)into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small emerald(绿宝石). The man took it, and gave it to the first person he came by, a woman.
Then an old man came by. “What bad luck!” the man said. “Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”
“Are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked.
The man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “At last! At last someone has broken the spell(咒语)of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and you’re the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here…”
“And why does this happen?” the man asked.
“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave is filled with treasure, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts empty, as does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”
From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. Thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not  36  enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time,   37  whatever it is that we work so hard doing, it seems that there is    38   someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is    39   to me that every musician has a    40  of their own. My father__41   several instruments and when he played with others, it was not difficult to ___42  his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own  43 sound.
I  44  read of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, “   45   else can make the sound that you make. The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's but who is to say which is     46   . ” It is said that, “   47    is in the eye of the beholder(观看者), ” perhaps it could be said that “a delightful sound is in the ear of the    48   . ”
Every person has a different tone of voice that     49  only to them,     50    we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of     51    that is unique to them.

Each person has a(an)   53 on the world in some way. Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it   54  the same way that you do it. The next time you feel   55 , remember “Nobody else can make the sound that you make. ”

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity(永恒),” God smiled, “What questions do you have(1)_________for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they (2)__________ bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children(3)_________. That they lost their health to make money… and then lost their money to restore their (4)__________. Then by thinking anxiously (5)__________ the future, they forget the (6)___________, so that they live in neither the present nor future. That they live as if they will never die, and die (7)__________ they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked, “(8)__________ a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to(9) ___________?” He answered, “To learn they (10)__________make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves love(11)____________. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only(12)___________ a few seconds to open profound(深的) wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal (13)__________.

To learn that two people can look at the same thing and (17)___________ it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one(18)____________, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your(19)___________,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like(20)_____________ to know?” God smiled and said, “Just to know that I am always here.”

I always carry at least $3 in my car and also in my pocket. I save it for the person who asks if I can “spare some  36 ”. Smiling and making eye contact, I always   37 very cheerfully with a comment like, “Yes, I would love to”  38 “It would be my pleasure”. And I give them the  39  .
Then I  40 it with my next $3 for the next person. I   41 spend this money myself. I honor the idea that it belongs to the  42 of the next person who asks for it. Three dollars is a small  43 , yet it means a lot to the person who might only expect 25 cents,  44 when delivered with respect to them.
I have also formed the habit of carrying  45 I think the needy may be able to use. I carry hats, socks, gloves, and an umbrella. Recently I  46 some care packages for the homeless. It  47 to me that things like band-aids, toothpaste, aspirin, combs, as well as food would be of use. I imagined that they would need things that are not easy to  48 , so I chose plastic or paper containers. The folks who  49 them were delighted.
But I think it’s not just that I give them things that  50 . It’s that I see them for the beautiful ray of lights that they are. I know that they are  51 expressions of God and that this is how they are at the current time, not who they are. I am  52 to also give a hug and a smile with the money. And I always remember it is they who bless me with the  53 to be kind! What a joy! I felt  54 good and proud of what I had done. See, that’s the added  55 about completing acts of kindness —you feel fantastic.

One day, Mom was sewing a quilt(被子). I  43 sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a  44  here,” I said after a while. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very 45 voice.
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with   46  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was   47  if I had hurt her. I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do. But at last she said, very   48  , “Susan, look at this   49 . Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If   50  is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there.   51  is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later.
One day, Dad accidentally got   52  while on duty. Ever since then he could no longer   53 properly. Every morning and dusk Mom would help Dad walk slowly on the country road. Along the country road, there were beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The leaves were gently glistening(发光)   54  the sun shining upon them. All of these made up the most beautiful   55  in the world.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Looking into his eyes, I  56 what they meant.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence. 
People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The influence of confidence on one’s life.
B.The importance of confidence to success.
C.The difference of people’s confidence.
D.The judgment on one’s confidence.
小题2:Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.
A.who think their goals are hard to reach
B.who expect to give guidance to others
C.who want to ask the boss for a raise
D.who dream to be recognized experts
小题3:What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.importantB.attractiveC.outspokenD.energetic
小题4:What message does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A.To overlook one’s disadvantages.
B.To make full use of one’s advantages.
C.To have great confidence in one’s abilities.
D.To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities.

One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird,   1 a sparrow.
“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重击声). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She   2  and listened more devotedly. “It’s coming from the  3 .” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little kids.”
We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was  4 to make trouble. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children       5  . But there was that  6  again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I  7  the sparrow. It was flying  8 just inches below the ceiling. It was  9 trying to get out, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down 10  the open door. So the bird continued  11  its wings and hitting its head against the  12 .
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be  13  .”  
“Well, maybe it’s because of us,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide(滑翔) down to get outside, but that only seemed to  14   it more. “Why don’t we just 15 for a few minutes?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll    16 eventually.” So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing  17  .Then suddenly, it was silent. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was gone.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he’d succeed.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it 18  him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to  19 . Born to go upward, we don’t even consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping(拍打)around and just glide  20 a little bit.

One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I   21  the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked   22  the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old,   23  freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short   24 . The boy had a big smile on his face   25  he had just been set free from some sort of   26 . The boy would then fall to the grass,   27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a   28  on his face.   
Kids, when they fall down, don't view their falling down as failure, but   29 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they   30 . While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was   31  touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so   32  and so natural — no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only   33  was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a   34  — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for   35  or was not worrying about whether   36  was watching. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him   37  and that it would be   38  if he did fall. No, all that   39  to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that   40  and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits(追求) in life.

Boys need friends, suffer when they don't believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人).
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15­year­old boys and girls found that girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature(成熟), the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy's life—and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds(关系) with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.
