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

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!

I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School. That evening I found gratitude had amazing      to change our attitude…and our life.
The young musician Mr. Patrick was      onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he      beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was wonderful. But what shocked me most was his      smile.
Patrick was born with no eyes and an illness in the legs, which     him lame for life. However, as a child, he was     with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first    , he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two     , he’d get it. By his second birthday, he was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. His father was    . “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father     classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band! He was a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father did it together. His father     the night shift（夜班）in order to accompany his daytime band practice. Patrick says, “My dad’s my    .”
But even more than his     musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that  _   my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how   _   he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and     for over five minutes.
We all face misfortune in our lives.    ，it’s not the hardship but how we     to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During     times, do we spend too much time feeling     for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude, learn how to dance in the rain?

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.

Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with.     , sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people      . But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are      . Friends sometimes don’t get on well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will       and become friends again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very      . We miss them very much, but we can call them and write to them. And we can       new friends. It is encouraging to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? Friends can make us feel happy. Being happy helps you      well. If someone cares about you, you take       care of yourself.

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.
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if?  I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
小题1:The passage is meant to _______.
A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B．advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C．show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame
D．encourage young people to be after a writer career
小题2:What can be concluded from the passage?
A．Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding
B．Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort
C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation（隔离）
D．The chances for a writer to become successful are small
小题3:Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A．He wasn’t able to produce a single book
B．He hadn’t seen a change for the better
C．He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year
D．He found his dream would never come true
小题4: “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____. 
A．thewonderlandonoftendreamsabout
B．thebrightfuturethatoneislookingforwardto
C．thestateofuncertaintybeforeone’sfinalgoalisreached
D．aworldthatexistsonlyinone’simagination
