I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a   31  village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be   32  at a nearby garage. I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and   33  to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the   34 . With several hours to spare. I went to a theater.   35 , when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!
I knew Day would be angry if he   36  I’d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I   37  there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d   38  as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the   39  he gave me. “I’m disappointed you   40  you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t   41 . I called the garage to ask if there were any   42 , and they told me you hadn’t  yet picked up the car. ” I felt  43  as I weakly told him the real reason. A   44  passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with   45 . I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about   46  I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were   47 . Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him,   48  him all the way, but he walked silently.
Seeing Dad in so much   49  and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was   50  the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.

Everywhere I go, people are speaking on their cell telephones regardless of their surroundings (环境) . This happens when people are walking around a lake or through town, or even driving. I have even seen a person attempting to speak on her cell phone while ordering ice cream at Dairy Queen, thus speaking to two people at once.
As the over-spending of technology increases, people begin to take less joy in the simple pleasures of life—joys that don’t cost money—from observing clouds, playing with children to thinking or reading. And it is not just telephones that take the responsibility; too much value is placed on items (物品) from computers to cars. Many things are purchased (购买) merely(仅仅) to show off. Do you really need a cell phone that plays games, shows movies and takes pictures? No, cell phones should be purchased to use in urgent situations.You do not need to use your telephone when you are at someone else’s house or in a restaurant.
Technology and possessions (财产) do not bring joy. While some technology is necessary, it can get ridiculous(可笑的). Each possession just makes us want more, while simple pleasures can be enjoyed now and then.
Instead of spending our time buying a third television or looking into the newest cell phone models, we should be acting more productively to improve the world by volunteering, for example. Or, we should reconsider playing computer games or taking pictures on our cell phones and read a book or imagine what shapes the clouds are in the sky instead.
小题1:The author mentions cell phones at the beginning just to show _________.
A．they can be used on any occasion.
B．people manage to speak to two at a time.
C．they can put drivers in great danger.
D．people are fond of personal items.
小题2:People have less joy of simple life nowadays mainly because they _________.
A．focus on technology and their belongings.
B．use cell phones in less urgent situations.
C．buy private cars just to show off.
D．place too much value on computers.
小题3:We can infer that ________.
A．people have no time to play with their children.
B．we can take pleasure in using cell phones at any time.
C．people always desire more possessions.
D．we depend on volunteers to develop the world.

George had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.
Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he did not tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, "Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking it —— that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty."
“Well, George,”answered Jim. “I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other eleven people on the jury look terribly strong-minded to me.”
George said that he would quite understand if Jim was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.
The trial went on, and at last the time came for the jury to decide whether George was guilty or not. It took them five hours, but in the end they found George guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy.
Of course, George was very pleased, but he did not have a chance to see Jim for some time after the trial. At last, however, Jim visited him in prison, and George thanked him warmly and asked him how he had managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy.
"Well, George," Jim answered, "as I thought, those eleven men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!"

D．Jim persuaded the jury to lighten George's punishment

Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes，and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge，it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look，the way you act，the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is，make a list if you need to，but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile,get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends，buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective，and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back，you’ll know you're well on your way. Good luck!
小题1:You need to build a positive self-image when you___________.
A．dare to challenge yourselfB．feel it hard to change yourself
C．are unconfident about yourselfD．have a high opinion of yourself
小题2:According to the passage，our self-images___________.

Grace Kane hangs onto an Olympic dream of clinging to a granite (花岗岩) wall by her fingertips 70 feet from the ground. The fearless girl is only 10, but already has scaled great heights in the sport of rock climbing.
Last week, Kane won a bronze in the 11­and­younger sport class at the USA Climbing Youth National Championships in Atlanta. She was the only competitor of the 31 there with no climbing coach or top­flight facilities in which to train. Climbing will become an exhibition at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil. The hope of enthusiasts is that the sport will gain full status in 2020.“I’m already training for that,” said Kane. “Climbing is my passion, my love, and I want to make something of it.”
Her dad took her to climb rocks on her fourth birthday for the first time and today he can’t keep up with her, “It’s the freedom to let loose,” she said. “When I’m up there, I’m so focused and don’t hear anything. I always feel comforted knowing people are supporting me.”
The bronze in Atlanta qualified Kane for the USA team and November’s International Championships in Ecuador. That’s a trip she might have to miss because it’s too expensive.
Kane held a backyard music concert---she played the guitar and the piano and wrote inspirational songs---and raised $600 for her $1,500 trip to Atlanta. She’s also been sponsored by a shoe company, but must rely heavily on donations from family and friends for travel expenses.
Her mom Heather Kane said the family has chosen “to do whatever we need to help her achieve her goals”. One of Grace’s biggest challenges is finding balance in her life. There’s school, her music and church to fit around climbing.
“Climbing is going to mean sacrificing things other kids might pursue,” Grace said. “But it doesn’t bother me. It’s like playing the piano; you can’t take a break or you’ll lose your touch.”
小题1:What would be the best title of the passage?
A．Rock climbing gains popularity
B．Grace Kane likes challenges
C．A young climber follows her dream
D．An amazing victory for a young rock climber
小题2:We can learn from the second paragraph that rock climbing ________.
A．is not an exhibition at the Olympics now
B．is an official event at the Olympics now
C．is not open to children
D．will gain full status in 2020
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about Grace Kane?
A．She is only interested in rock climbing.
B．She is a girl with many talents.
C．Rock climbing has affected her study.
D．She has won gold medals in several matches.
小题4:One of Grace’s biggest challenges is to ________.
A．find a capable coach for her
B．get qualified for the USA team
C．raise enough money for International competitions
D．keep balance between rock climbing and other activities
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking, "I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韵律).""Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you.” One younger musician said, "There are a couple of clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year." I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative (消极的), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining(抱怨) or blaming (责备) others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends".
There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. The choice is always yours to make. Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.
小题1:The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is to show that ______.
A．musicians’ living conditions are not good
B．people in that town have poor taste in music
C．different people have different attitudes
D．young people are more likely to succeed
小题2: The underlined part "they’re rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A．they’ll push you aheadB．they’ll have an influence on you
C．they’ll keep you from moving onD．they’ll help you realize your dreams
小题3:Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?
A．He is more active than the others.
B．He can earn more than the others.
C．He has more things to do than the others.
D．His attitude is more positive than the others.
小题4:By doing the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 3, you can ______.
A．make the right kind of friends
B．improve your ability to make friends
C．develop a better relationship with your friends
D．make some new friends with the same interests as you
小题5:We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT ______.
A．the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend
B．one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative people
C．the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friends
D．one should avoid making friends with people who have lots of difficulties
I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t   36  watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   37  our way after saying goodbye.
But at     38   , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I    39   the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I    40   knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart    41  . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay    42   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While    43   with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are quick to excite.  Go to look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the    44   . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She    45    them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the    46    in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her    47   . “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I    48      them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the     49   .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I    50   have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way. ”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you     51   .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I love the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the    52   you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave    53  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our    54   than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.
Remember that   55  =" (F)ATHER" + (A)ND + (M)OTHER + (I ) + (L)OVE + (Y)OU.

As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to  36  a little pocket money.
One day I  37  on the door of an elderly woman and asked  38  she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in  39  and I showed her my worn  40 , which no longer kept me warm. She  41  me to work in the yard.

Now reach out your little hands and take out as much  49  as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and  50  so much money that it was  51  for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she  52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I  53  her that I had an “A”.
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge  54 this wonderful lady made over my life with her  55 . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.
