Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you  36 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so  37 with me. This has made me  38 very carefully about myself, and now I  39  how silly I have been.
My poor  40 have come from my own  41 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud  42  me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my   43  on the subject and I stop  44  the teacher. So many other things seem so much more  45 , but I know that I must not  46 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard 47  the next few months, I am going to get  48 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything  49 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I  50 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise,   51 _ I will control the time I   52 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is  53 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me  54 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to  55 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

“ Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with．It is  36  to find someone who is down-to-earth．A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to  37  accepts other people as equals．A down-to-earth is just the 38 of someone who acts importantly and proudly.
Down-to-earth persons may be  39  members of society, of course．But they do not let their importance “ go to their  40 ”．They do not  41  themselves to be better persons than others of less importance, someone who is filled with his own importance and  42 , often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”．There is no way a person with his nose in the  43 can be down-to-earth．Americans use another expression that means almost the same  44  “down-to-earth”．The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”．Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person  45  a good understanding of reality．He has what is called “   46  sense”．He may have  47  , but he does not allow them to  48  his knowledge of what is real．The opposite kind of person is  49  who has his “head-in-the-clouds”．A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the  50  world.
Sometimes  51  a dreamer can be brought back to earth． 52  words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.
Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very  53  to have both-feet-on-the-ground.
 54  we have both our feet on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act  55  and openly toward others．Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

When I was young， my father used to grow carnations (康乃馨).His carnations were red， pink and white. Everyone who saw them admired them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and   　36　    . Every day he came home from work， he went   straight    to see them. He 　37　 watching them every day. We the kids did too. But he used to tell us， “No one should touch my flowers.”
One day my younger sister， who loved my dad very much， had wanted to help him and she   　38　     the carnations from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged them  　39　      . She believed that he would be very   　40　    to see them that way.
When mom and I realized what my sister had done， we became completely hopeless. However， my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation. When my dad arrived he went，　41　， straight to see the flowers. When he saw his flowers    lying     on the floor like dead animals， he was 　42　 at first. He looked towards the street， to see if it was any of the  　43　    children who could have done it. Then he entered the living room and looked at mom in silence.
Finally mom， who always taught us to   　44　    no matter what， looked at dad and said： “We have no bad neighbors in our area”. Then with a nice tone she continued： “No outsider did this great job， only your lovely daughter Clémence.” My dad’s face   changed     into 　45　 and then he said： “Do I have a better   　46　     than my lovely daughter？” My younger sister smiled and  　47　    dad tightly.

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进，敦促)  by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周详).
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.
We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.
小题1:Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.
A．day by day; and
B．gradually; as
C．gradually; that
D．century after century; as
小题2:Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C．It is because we are forced to do them again and again.
D．It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away
小题3:The bad habits formed by __________
A．children sometimes stay in all their lives
B．older people sometimes can kill them
C．persons sometimes can remain with them
D．younger people sometimes can break them

A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She described all the things she had to do －one was to make her bed－from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. However, she went along with my idea.
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years－and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”
This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破). One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade – offs. The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
So what is the solution? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. The point is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.
小题1:What is the solution to the problem of managing time?
A．Doing more exercises every day.B．Taking time to visit friends regularly.
C．Stopping making bed occasionally.D．Doing what you want to do first.
小题2:What does the word “beaming” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．WorryingB．SmilingC．DepressedD．Luckily
小题3:What is the major problem of most people managing time?
A．Most people do not take care of their health.
B．Most people put others’ needs ahead of their own.
C．Most people cannot keep balance on managing time.
D．Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
小题4:What is the author’s attitude toward people’s problems in the passage?
A．Matter – of – fact.B．Negative.C．Indifferent.D．Worried.
I stepped into my hotel room to a pleasant surprise. Lots of room surrounded an inviting king-size bed, with armchairs nearby resting against sliding glass doors that opened onto a private yard. A small dining table sat next to a kitchen with a refrigerator and coffee machine. "Wow," I thought to myself. "Nice place."
I love hotels. I love to enter a clean room, hang my clothes and gaze out the window, walk out in the morning and when I return, someone else will have made the bed. I like in-room dining and the way they greet you so professionally. "Nice to have you with us again, Mr. Goldsborough." Very cool.
The problem is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family, even though Linus and Camille, at ages 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the best night's sleep at home.
I'm deeply troubled by the number of parents who wake up too late with the realization:
"My children grew up too fast. In the busy career and corporate rat race（剧烈竞争）, I missed their childhood.” What they fail to say but too often think causes me even more pain: "...and I barely even know them."
A hundred years from now, no one will remember the size of your bank account, the car you drove or the size of your house. The world might differ greatly however, based on your impact in the life of a small child. If you pay attention to your significant others, make the choice to put them first.
Think of one specific action that you can take, and take it. Then think of another one and take that, too. Challenge yourself to find new ways to express your appreciation and love on a daily basis. It will pay off ten-fold（十倍）at home.

Sitting is art that isn’t getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies –or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn’t sitting – it’s watching.
People used to sit a lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tries and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.
Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel’s illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze (悠闲的氛围).
That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正在充电的电池) doesn’t look as if it’s doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul if you want to enjoy a truly full life, don’t just do something –sit there.
