A few days ago, my sister Liz and I talked about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something for Father's Day. We talked about the times when we were 1 up and how Mom and Dad used to play the ‘good cop, bad cop’ thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were 2 . He raised us more by 3 than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) 4 meaning that I never got, but Liz always 5 to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a skateboard and I 6 I was too old to ask money from my parents, so I worked at a burger joint (美式汉堡店). One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the 7. I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to start somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy 8in life, ‘Who knows, you might end up having to run a 9 or even own one when you grow up,’ said Dad. He 10 me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didn’t agree with it.
A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really 11 days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the 12 were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would 13 out. I couldn’t stand the 14 any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders 15. The owner saw what I did and called me over around 16 time. He said that he was very 17. He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was 18 I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how insignificant or 19 it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it 20 a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life’s philosophy.

                                                     How I Turned to Be Optimistic
       I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house,
and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying,
and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the
thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.  
      I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was
saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was
going to see - the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I
was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.  
       The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me
at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result
of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things
became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each
other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
        My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at
home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my
grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company
representatives.  
         From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go
away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I
believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.  
1. How did the author get to know America? 
A. From her relatives                
B. From her mother 
C. From books and pictures      
D. From radio programs
2. For the first two years in New York, the author _________.  
A. often lost her way                            
B. did not think about her future 
C. studied in three different schools    
D. got on well with her stepfather
3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4? 
A. She worked as a translator 
B. She attended a lot of job interviews 
C. She paid telephone bills for her family 
D. She helped her family with her English
4. The author believes that _________.
A. her future will be free from troubles 
B. it is difficult to learn to become patient 
C. there are more good things than bad things 
D. good things will happen if one keeps trying
