3．七My parents have certainly had their troubles.and as their child I'll never know how they made it ——青夏教育精英家教网——

3．七My parents have certainly had their troubles，and as their child I'll never know how they made it to 38years of marriage．They loved each other，but they didn't seem to like each other very much．Dad was too fond of his beer，and he talked down to Mom a lot．When she tried to stand up to him，a fight would unavoidably follow．
It was my dad's disease that began to change things．The year 1998was the beginning of a remarkable transformation for my family．My father，Jim Dineen，the always healthy，weightlifting，never-missed-a-day-of-work kind of dad，discovered he had kidney （肾）disease．
The decision to go ahead with a transplant for my father was a long and tough one，mostly because he had liver damage too．One physician's assistant told him，"According to your file，you're supposed to be dead．"And for a while，doctors mistakenly thought that he would need not just a kidney transplant，but a liver transplant too． Dad's future hung in midpoint．
When the donor testing process finally began in the spring of 2003，numerous people，including me，my uncle Tom，and my mom，came back as matches of varying degree．But Mom was the one who insisted on going further．She decided to donate a kidney to my father．She said she was not scared，and it was the right thing to do．We all stepped back in amazement．
At last a date was chosen-November 11，2003．All of a sudden，the only thing that seemed to matter Dad was telling the world what a wonderful thing Mom was doing for him．A month before the surgery，he sent her birthday flowers with a note that read，"I love you and I love your kidney!Thank you!"
Financially，the disease was upsetting to them．So my sister and I were humbled and surprised when，shortly before his surgery day，Dad handed us a diamond jewelry that we were to give to Mom after the operation．He'd accumulated his spare dollars to buy it．
At the hospital on the day of the transplant，all our relatives and friends gathered in the waiting room and became involved in a mean euchre （尤克牌游戏） tournament．My family has always handled things with a lot of laughter，and even though we were all tense，everybody was taking bets on how long this"change of conduct"would last in my parents．
We would inform Dad that if he chose to act like a real pain on any particular day after the operation，he wasn't allowed to blame it on PMS just because he'd now have a female kidney．
The surgeries went well，and not long afterward，my sister and I were allowed to go in to visit．Dad was in a great deal of pain but again，all he could talk about was Mom．Was she okay？How was she feeling？Then the nurses let us do something unconventional．As they were wheeling Mom out of recovery room，they rolled her into a separate position to visit Dad．It was strange to see both my parents hooked up to IVs and machines and trying to talk to each other through tears．The nurses allowed us to present the diamond jewelry to Mom so that Dad could watch her open it．Everyone was crying，even the nurses．
As I stood with digital camera in hand，I tried to keep the presence of mind to document the moment．My dad was having a hard time fighting back emotion，and suddenly my parents unexpectedly reached out to hold each other's hands．
In my nearly 35years of existence，I'd never seen my parents do that，and I was spellbound．I snapped a picture and later rushed home to make sure I'd captured that enormous，life-defining moment．After so many years of disagreement，it was apparent to me that they finally understood how much each loved the other．

2．Write a winning story!
You could win￡1，000in this year's Fiction Prize and have your story printed in Keep Writing magazine．Ten other lucky people will win a cheque for￡100．
Once again，we need people who can write good stories．The judges，who include Mary Littlejohn，the novelist，Michael Brown，the television reporter，and Susan Hitchins，the editor of Keep Writing，are looking for interesting and original stories．Detective fiction was extremely popular last year，although the competition winner produced a love story．You can write down about whatever you want but here's some advice to start your thinking：
Write about what you know
This is the advice which every writer should pay attention to and，last year，nearly everyone who wrote for us did exactly that．Love，family，problems with friends----these were the main subjects of the stories．However，you need to turn ordinary situations into something interesting that people will want to read about．Make the reader want to continue reading by writing about ordinary things in a new and surprising way．
Get your facts right
It's no good giving a description of a town or explaining how a jet engine works if you get it wrong．So avoid writing anything unless you're certain about it．
Hold the reader's attention
Make the beginning interesting and the ending a surprise．There is nothing worse than a poor ending．Develop the story carefully and try to think of something unusual happening at the end．
Think about the characters
Try to bring the people in your story alive for the reader by using well-chosen words to make them seem real．
Your story must be your own work，between 2，000and 2，5000words and typed，double-spaced，on one side only of each sheet of paper．
Even if you're in danger of missing the closing date，we are unable to accept stories by fax or email．You must include the application form with your story．Unfortunately your story cannot be returned，nor can we discuss our decisions．
You should not have had any fiction printed in any magazine or book in this country----a change in the rules by popular request----and the story must not have happened in print or in recorded form，for example on radio or TV，anywhere in the world．
Your fee of￡5will go to the Writers'Association．Make your cheque payable to Keep Writing and send it with the application form and your story to：
Keep Writing
75Broad Street Birmingham
B12 4TG
The closing date is 30July and we will inform the winner within one month of this date．Please note that if you win，you must agree to have your story printed in our magazine．

1．When you meet someone for the first time，you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment．Your reactions to other people，however，are really just barometers （晴雨表） for how you perceive（理解） yourself．Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others．You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself．We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike．
Therefore，you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate （阐明；照亮） more clearly your own feelings of self-worth．Conversely（相反地），you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself．
To survive together peacefully with others，you will need to learn tolerance．A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself．Your task is to assess all the decisions，judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole．
Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners．My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying．When I noticed that I was judging him，I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling．I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose．I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me．
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him．My judging my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him．In the same way，extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open．
When you approach life in this manner，those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors，guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality．

A．You can't really love or hate others if they are similar to you．
B．We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us．
C．Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion．
D．The moment we see a stranger，our mind forms an impression of that person．
59．Throughout the entire story，the last paragraph serves as a（n）D．
A．explanation B．example C．background D．conclusion
60．It can be implied from the text thatC．
