5．It was Sunday morning．I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room．I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own．I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother，Robot．He said，"Mum，an I have a room of my own？I could use Jeff's．He won't mind．"
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest．But would he mind？The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks．As close as we were，though，the time came when Jeff needed a door between us．His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family．I no longer could-or-should know everything about him．
It turned out that getting Jeff's permission was easy．He said，"Of course，Mum，it would be selfish of me to hold on to it．"Then his voice softened，"Mum，I won't be living at home again-you know that．"Behind his glasses，his eyes were lit with all the love．There were no doors closed here-they had all opened up again．
As John and I were cleaning the room，I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever．I looked at the room and，in my heart，I let it go．To hold on would be，as Jeff said，selfish．Now it was time for John，shouldering through the door，his eyes bright with promise of independence，to disappear behind the door．It was time for letting go to happen again．

The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied，"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water．"
The boy did as he was told，but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house．The grandpa laughed and said，"You'll have to move a little faster next time，"and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again．
This time the boy ran faster，but again the basket was empty before he returned．Out of breath，he told his grandpa hat it was impossible to carry water in a basket，so he went to get a bucket instead．
The grandpa said，"I don't want a bucket of water； I want a basket of water．You're just not trying hard enough．"
The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard，but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again．Out of breath，he said，"Grandpa，it's useless!"
"So，you think it is useless？"the grandpa said，"Look at the basket．"The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different．It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean．

3．Eight-year-old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm．Jesse's uncle jumped into th sea and dragged the boy to shore．The boy was not breathing．His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation （人工呼吸） while his uncle rang the emergency services．Pretty soon，a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital．It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road．
Jesse's uncle，Vance Folsenzier，ran back into to the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew．He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach．A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it，the shark's jaws relaxed so that they could open them，and reach down into its stomach，and pull out the boy's arm．
At the Baptist Hospital in Pensacola，Dr．Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse's arm．"It was a complicated operation，"he said，"but we were lucky．If the arm hadn't been recovered in time，we wouldn't have been able to do the operation at all．What I mean is that if they hadn't found the shark，well then we wouldn't have had a chance．'
According to local park ranger Jack Tomosvic，shark attacks are not that common．"Jesse was just unlucky，"he says，"evening is the shark's feeding time．And Jesse was in area without lifeguards．This would never have happened if he had been in area where swimming is allowed．'
When reporters asked Jesse's uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark，he replied，"I was mad and you do some strange things when you're mad．"

2．Around every Lunar New Year holiday，China becomes a country on the move．The holiday crush （客流量） this year is estimated to be even heavier than before．
Government officals suggest that Chinese people will take to the air，roads and railways 3.62billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel．
Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that tries your patience annually．And the pressure for the railway system is always the greatest．Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel，and that's where the ticketing system regularly falls down．
Much of the criticism has focused on the railway's online purchasing system，which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers （票贩子） from easily getting many of the hard-to-find tickets．
Railway officials believed that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers，and told reporters that the public need to be patient．While by now the railway service is far from satisfying，efforts are being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems，and the situation is expected to get better in a few years．Meanwhile，for those traveling by car，good news is that the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行费） will be removed for the period of the official holiday．
33．According to the text，getting ticketsC around the official holiday．
A．is convenient for traveler
B．costs more money

1．′′′Why You Should Celebrate Your MistakesWhen you make a mistake，big or small，cherish（珍视） it like it's the most precious thing in the world，because in some ways，it is．
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes，beat ourselves up about it，feel like failures，get mad at ourselves．
And that's only natural：most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，that we should try to avoid mistakes．We've been scolded when we make mistakes at home，school and work．Maybe not always，but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
Yet without mistakes，we could not learn or grow．If you think about it that way，mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world：they make learning possible； they make growth and improvement possible．
By trial and error-trying things，making mistakes，and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，to fly．
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，make works of genius possible．
Think about how we learn：we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it．You don't just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking，or playing the piano，and know how to do them right away．Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing usually…then you construct a model in your mind…then you test it out by trying it in the real world…then you make mistakes…then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat，making mistakes，learning from those mistakes，until you've pretty much learned how to do something．That's how we learn as babies and toddlers，and how we learn as adults．Mistakes are how we learn to do something new，because if you succeed in something，it's probably something you already knew how to do．You haven't really grown much from that success---at most it's the last step on your journey，not the whole journey．Most of the journey was made up of mistakes，if it's a good journey．
So if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes．They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible．
29．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes？C
A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot．
B．Because it's a natural part in our life．
C．Because we've been taught so from a young age．
D．Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers．
30．According to the passage，what is the right attitude to mistakes？C
A．We should try to avoid making mistakes．
B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes．
C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn．
D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
31．The underlined word"toddler"in Paragraph 6probably meansA．
A．a small child learning to walk
B．a kindergarten child learning to draw
C．a primary school pupil learning to read
D．a school teenager learning to write
32．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．most of us can really grow from success
B．growing and improving are based on mistakes
C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D．we read about something and know how to do it right away．

19．Women make better drivers than men for many reasons．Why is that，do you suppose？Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless？If you ask me，I'd like to say，men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth-women are queens of the road．
Unlike men，women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going．We don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction．Have you ever in a car with a man who is lost He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth．And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn．
Speeding is what men do best on the road．Traffic is not a race．There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women．Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don't get pulled over as frequently．We don't speed．We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger．
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what．The seat is backed as far as possible，and they're totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level．You don't ever see women driving like that．
I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men．We women rule the road．Oh，and men，if you want to continue criticizing women for being bad drivers，bring it on．We know you lack confidence，or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with．
33．If a woman driver feels lost，she willB．
A．tell the man next to her to shut up
B．stop the car and ask people for help
C．take the wrong turns at a high speed
D．drive aimlessly for hours without stopping
34．In Paragraph 3，the writer tries to tell us thatB．
A．women often play tricks on the police in charge
B．women always have more responsibility for lives
C．men are more confident and more skillful in driving
D．men usually have to be pulled over to the roadsides
35．Which of the following about men drivers worries the writer most？A
A．Not paying full attention．
B．Making jokes about women．
C．Not stopping for directions．
D．Getting more speeding tickets．
