I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to 1   me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,  2  to look at each other. Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other. In 7th grade, I first lost 3   with her. She was  4   family problems and I deserted her.  5   of my new friends liked her 6  they knew she had “problems”.
It was last year when I noticed the 7  . I guess I was just to catch up in high school to realize she 8  someone there for her. I didn’t know 9, but she started cutting herself!
She was 10  from clinical depression(抑郁), and had to go to a 11  during the day. I was very upset at first but with the late night 12 , and meeting each other at midnight. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend once 13  her since people were calling her crazy.
Yesterday she came to me and said this:“I never knew what a best friend was 14  you were the only person that would 15 me from cutting; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You don’t know this but I was trying to 16  myself that night you called me. You didn’t even know you were 17  me. I owe you so much.”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of 18  from my life is:“never give up on your friends”. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are 19 , they need someone there. If you desert them, you will only be 20  yourself. So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.

Can feeling of nostalgia(怀旧) be good for you? Or is it unhealthy to have a strong love for the past?
For years, medical experts have studied nostalgia and the reasons for it. Many experts warn that too much nostalgia is harmful. They say living in the past shows that a person is unhappy with his present life. These feelings keep the person from living his life to its fullest.
　　However, experts say it is normal to love the past sometimes. In fact, a little nostalgia can enrich a person’s life.
　　Dr. Louise Kaplan has written several books about nostalgia. She says these feelings often begin when a young person is between 13 and 19 years old.
　　“This is the time when you must face the loss of your childhood, “Kaplan says. “You see your new life is easily destroyed. But you think romantically about a golden past. You remember your childhood as a time when life is perfect.”
　　These feelings continue as the person gets older, Kaplan adds. She says many grown persons have a hard time keeping up with changes in the modem world, so they think back to their younger years. At that time the world seemed simple and more harmless.
　　Kaplan says these feelings do not always actually exist. The good old days did not always exist. The good old days weren’t always good. However, she says nostalgia can be helpful, if used properly.
　　“Feelings of nostalgia can cause you to remember a time when you had high hopes and dreams, “Kaplan says. “It might give you the strong wish to catch those dreams today in your past life.” She adds that nostalgia can prevent you from “cutting yourself off from your aim”.
小题1:Feeling of nostalgia ______.
A．can cause you to think of your past which was full of hopes and dreams
B．might cause you to try to realize the golden dream in the present life
C．fill one with hopes for the future no matter what happens
D．bring about a love for the past and a hope for the future
小题2:The reason for grown persons to think back to their past is that ______.
A．time is hard, so they cannot keep up
B．they can hardly keep up with changes in today’s world with changes
C．many grown persons have little time keeping up with changes
D．they lived in the past, of which they are always proud
小题3:Which of the following is NOT talked about in the passage?
A．Too much nostalgia is harmful to our health.
B．Nostalgia shows that a person is not satisfied with his present life.
C．Only women have feelings of nostalgia.
D．A little nostalgia can make a person’s life more colorful.
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Thoughts on Nostalgia
B．The Reasons for Nostalgia
C．Why Not Think Back to the Past
D．Nostalgia, Good or Bad

It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance,   41   for the train to take me to my   42  in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves,  43  their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my pocket as the  44  was getting close, my hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 45 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt  46 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be  47 there. “What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me. “Oh, nothing…. Well, I  48   my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to  49   my match class, and the train is leaving.”
“Here, use this.” The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up,  5 0 . People just didn’t do that anymore. Everyone worried about their own  51 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers. “Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“  52  it – go!” The man pushed me  53  the train.  I bought a round – trip ticket, and he refused the change I  54 to give him back. I did not know what to say – a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood   55  .
For the train ride I was wordless. I began to see the world through  56 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple  57  .
A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra 20$  58  I saw the man. And there he was. “Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I  59  the money into his hand. Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled, content.
The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a   60  stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.

Many years ago I was on a bicycle trip through some exceedingly picturesque (如画的) countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds piled up overhead and rain began to fall, but strange to ___50___, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. Riding, however, as rapidly as I could, I found it ___51___ to get into the clear. The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward. I continued this unequal contest for an exhausting half hour, ___52___ realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.
Then it dawned upon me that I was wasting my strength in unimportant hurry, while paying no attention whatsoever to the landscape ___53___ which I was making the trip. The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not unendurable. Indeed, there was much to look at which might ___54___ have escaped me. As I gazed about with sharpened ___55___, I saw colours and lines and shapes that would have appeared differently under brilliant light. The rain mists (薄雾) which now ___56___ the wooded hills and the fresh clearness of the different greens were entrancing (迷人的). My annoyance at the rain was gone and my eagerness to ___57___ it disappeared. It had provided me with a new view and helped me understand that the ___58___ of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the ___59___ of one’s own sensibilities.
It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was related. It helped me realize that there is no sense in my ___60___ ever to flee from circumstances and conditions which cannot be avoided but which I might bravely ___61___ and frequently mend and often turn to good account. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with courage, __62__ with spirit, and triumph with humility. It has become ever clearer to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final ___63___, and that, in the last analysis, all achievement is dangerously weak ___64___ based on enduring principles of moral conduct.

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say .Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁)calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, ”If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died. ”At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today .That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate ,was more than she could take．It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course------keeping mother at home, putting off the operation----would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needｓ,and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him，and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we don not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.

An old woman had two large pots, one on each end of a pole. She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”
Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful.
小题1:What does the underlined word “crack” mean?

C．Fault in an idea, system, or organization.

① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table.
② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot.
③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack.
④ The woman found a crack on one pot.
⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.
A．④⑤①③② B．⑤④③②①

小题5:What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A．Never laugh at imperfection.B．No pains, no gains.
C．Imperfection makes life meaningful.D．It’s never too late to learn.
People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
　　Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
小题1:________ leads to people's deeper understanding of health.
A．Common knowledge
B．Progress in scientific research
C．Better conditions of living
D．Quality of life
小题2:The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _________.
A．people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer
B．people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental health
C．people have realized the importance of mental well-being
D．people are inspired by medical advances
小题3:We can infer from the passage __________.
A．nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food
B．the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th century
C．those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people
D．those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now
小题4:This passage is mainly about __________.
A．different understandings of the term "health"
B．improving the quality of life
C．the importance of quality living
D．people's expectations of a long and healthy life

There were balls of that ouange stuing still hanging on the wall of the workshop when we moved in ,I used them to tie up Christmas presents last year, for my kids , I hope it reminded them of the gift greater than money that my wife and I gave them by returning the money ,We did the right thing ,and our children will never forget that.

Gallows humor（黑色幽默）seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,” says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.
Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you’re wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness（凝聚力）and performance.
“There are a lot of stressors out there,” says Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”
This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people --- not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale（士气）in terms of the company would be good humor,” says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, ‘How is this helping my employees’ morale?’”
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, don’t make comments about people’s physical appearance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.
Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended（冒犯）:Yourself. “If there's going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” Mr. Dunkelblau says. For example, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.”
“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”
小题1:According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT ________.
A．reducing pressure
B．improving performance
C．making people more creative
D．leading to a big mistake
小题2:What is Ed Dunkelblau’s attitude towards gallows humor?
A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Neutral.D．Uncertain.
小题3:Which of the following would Dr. Guedj most probably agree with?
A．Gallows humor is the basic source of morale.
B．Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others.
C．Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose.
D．Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor.
小题4:When people use gallows humor, they should ________.
A．observe who is aggressive
B．show a sense of belonging
C．doubt about the result of humors
D．try to avoid irritating others
小题5:What can we infer from the text?
A．People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.
B．Laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others.
C．People can’t avoid offending others with gallows humor.
D．People who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with.
