76  He had more money than he could ever spend, and he was admired and looked up to by his community.77  He wasn’t happy.All his life he had been pursuing happiness and striving (奋斗) for happiness, but he had never been able to find it.

Then one day he heard about a hidden temple in Nepal that had a special room that contained the secret of happiness.78 After many years of searching and countless hardships he arrived there.He was tired and penniless, but he knew that none of that mattered now because he had found the temple.He asked a wise, smiling monk (僧侣) if he could enter the special room.The monk agreed and showed him the stairs leading to the room.79  He stared into the room with sunlight steaming through the window and saw what he had come so far to find.There hanging on the wall was the secret of happiness.The man gazed at his reflection in the mirror and laughed.

If you’ve met and exchanged contact information with your child’s teacher or volunteered to become the class parent, you’re on hour way to becoming an engaged parent—the kind of adult education researchers say, who helps children to be the best they can be in school.
    Now, more than 20 states are about to make your role as an engaged parent a lot more important. Parents whose children attend a failing school can band together. If 51 percent of them sign a petition(请愿书), they can demand, and the district must provide, a new set of administrators to run the school. Parents have become the hottest players in education reform. It’s an encouraging development.
    Over the last 15 years, parents were first invited—and now, in many places, are required ---to participate in choosing what school their children will attend. It’s a great idea, but imperfect and time-consuming. Some wealthy parents register their children in private schools, where the admission process is often much easier and class size is smaller. Many low-income parents are finding better options for their children . But many are not, especially those less good at working the system. However, when researchers studied the school choice process in Harford, they found that schools with the highest levels of parental satisfaction were often ones with the lowest levels of academic achievement and things were the same all over the country.
Giving parents the power may prove to be an important turning point in education reform. We need to supply parents with training programs to help them know, for example, what should be expected from a parent-teacher conference and how to make sure that elementary, middle and high school curriculums are preparing students for college. Otherwise, the next big thing in education--- parent power—is going to hurt our children, instead of helping them.
73.According to the text, engaged parents _____.
       A.urge children to finish homework         B.train children to live independently

       A.schools satisfying parents most don’t necessarily produce academically best students
       B.wealthy parents choose private schools just because of their easier admission process
       C.parents have been the hottest players in education reform in the past 15 years
       D.low-income parents generally make wrong decisions on school choosing
75.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
       A.Choosing schools for children              B.Calling for school reform
       C.Preparing children for college           D.Putting parents in charge 

Many people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. Saddened,they seem to think that their own company is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth though. In order to get along with others,the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy,solid relationships with others.

Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth,it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.

Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels,poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself,that not only can offer you hours of enjoyment,but also the chance to get to know yourself better.

Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生).Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is,always find at least an hour per day for yourself,when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing,or doing something that you enjoy.

Learn to respect your own boundaries. Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept;no one else can point that out to you,or force you to compromise.

72.What is the structure of the passage?

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He's forgotten all the manners we taught him.”

He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.

Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.

“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

66. This text is most probably written by ______.

A. a specialist in teenager studies             B. a headmaster of a middle school

C. a parent with teenage children             D. a doctor for mental health problems

67. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

A. the advice that parents want their children to follow

B. the way that parents often blame themselves

C. the opinion that a child has of his parents

D. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child

68. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.

A. pay no attention to them                    B. are too busy to look after them

C. have come to hate them                  D. feel helpless to do much about them

69. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.

A. busy           B. rude                C. unusual           D. quiet

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself.Just then, an air hostess 46 me and asked, "Would you mind changing your seat? A couple would like to sit together.The only other 47 seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts(石膏), a black-and-blue face, and a depressed emotion." 48 am I going to sit there" was my immediate thought. 49  then a soft voice spoke, "She needs help." Finally I took my new seat and 50 that the girl was named Kathy and had survived in an auto accident, and she was on her way for 51 .

When the snack of nuts and juice arrived,52 did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to 53 herself.I considered offering to feed her but 54 , as it seemed too close a service to offer to a stranger.But then I decided that Kathy's need was more important than my 55 I offered to help her eat, and although she too was uncomfortable about __56___ it, she did. The experience was  57 and she and I ___58__close in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart was fully  59 , and the time was __60___ better spent than if I had just sat by myself.

I was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love sometimes  61 beyond human borders and dissolves the fears  62 keep us separate. When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live in a larger, more 63 world.

    Help me move  64 the small self so I can connect with the hearts of others.

    When I give 65 to another, I feed my own soul.
