8、I was a rotten teenager, sharp-tongued and eager to control others. I told lies. At an early age that I could make things 1 my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today’s hottest soap opera could not have created a 2 character than me.

I don’t know how long it took me to realize how I was 3 so many others. Not only did I succeed in 4 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 5 relationship in my life; my relationship with my mother.

My mother, who gave birth to me at age 38 6 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 7 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I 8 lived!”

My mother began to believe I really 9 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys whom I knew were 10 were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself 11 at the same time trying to be invisible. I had also been 12 into drugs then to change my personality. My only pleasure was to make people feel 13 .

But then I asked 14 why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day, I couldn’t 15 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.

Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face-warm, tired brown 16 filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.

17 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “I don’t know.”

18 love is the most precious gift we can give. Being 19 for the past is the most precious gift we can receive. I want to 20 the gift my mother gave me to all the “rotten teenagers” in the world.

7、Hughie Erskine was in love. The girl he loved was Laura Merton, the daughter of a retired army officer. They were the best-looking couple in London, and had not a penny between them. Her father was very fond of Hughie, but would not hear of any engagement.

“Come to me, my boy, when you have got ten thousand pounds of your own, and we will see about it,” he used to say, and Hughie looked very miserable in those days.

One morning he went to see a great friend of his, Alan Trevor, who was a painter. When he came into the studio he found Trevor putting the finishing touches to a wonderful life-size picture of a beggar-man. The beggar himself was standing on a platform in a corner of the room. He was a dried up old man with a lined face and a sad expression. Over his shoulder was thrown a rough brown coat, all torn and full of holes. His thick boots were old and mended, and with one hand he leaned on a rough stick, while with the other he held out his ancient hat for money.

“Poor old fellow!” said Hughie. “How miserable he looks!”

At that moment a servant came in and told Trevor that a man wanted to speak to him. Trevor went out.

The old beggar-man sat down to rest for a moment. He looked so miserable that Hughie pitied him, and felt in his pockets to see what money he had. All he could find was a pound and some pennies. “Poor old fellow,” he thought to himself, “he wants it more than I do, but ‘I shan’t have much money myself for a week or two”; and he walked across the room and slipped the pound into the beggar’s hand.

The old man jumped, and a faint smile passed across his old lips. “Thank you, sir,” he said, “thank you.”

That night Trevor told Hughie that the old “beggar” was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest man in Europe, who had asked him a month before to paint him as a beggar. He also said that he had told the old man all about the lovely Laura and the ten thousand pounds. The next morning, as he was at breakfast, an old gentleman brought Hughie a letter from Baron Hausberg. On the envelope was written, “A wedding present to Hughie Ershine and Laura Merton, from an old beggar”, and inside was a cheque for ten thousand pounds.

4、When Diana was killed in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997, a girl of British pop Lilly Allen was just 12 years old. But, after the accident, she took to London’s streets and cried at the Princess’s funeral that autumn.

Now, 10 years later, Allen was one of the young stars who performed at a memorial concert for Princess Diana in London on July 1,2007. Young people of her age have felt the powerful legacy（遗产）Diana left behind. Many found an element in her that they could identify with（认同，视为一体）.

“She was every little girl’s fairy princess personified（拟人化，象征）,every young woman’s role and model of fashion and society, and in her charity work, she was everyone’s best chum（密友，死党）,”explains the royal commentator, Anne Somme.

It’s not only young stars like Allen who are showing their respect for Diana, but other young British seem to be mourning her in their own way.

A group of rappers from South London have recorded a song, “Ten Year Since You’ve Been Gone”, to commemorate her death. “Princess Diana touched a lot of people when she was alive and it’s amazing how much affection there still is for her, ”said the record’s producer, Charles Bailey.

But Dians was not always the tower of strength depicted（描写）by her glamorous（充满魅力的）image. The revelations of her decade-long suffering from bulimia（贪食症，即偶尔暴食，继而又感到沮丧、难过和自责）found sympathy with many young people. Admitting her disorder gave support to fellow sufferers. The number of young women coming forward for treatment doubled during the 1990s, according to a study by London’s Institute of Psychiatry.

“By raising awareness she helped reduce the stigma（污名）attached to these illnesses and encouraged young people to seek help, ” explains Mary George, of the Eating Disorder Association in the UK. “She made a very brave decision to publicly admit to such a problem.”

So, the strength of her resolve allowed Diana to turn her weaknesses into something positive for the public good.

Even after her tragic death, the Princess left two handsome sons, William and Harry, continuing her charitable legacy. Prince William heads the UK’s leading homeless charity Centrepoint. Prince Harry’s Sentebale helps children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, southern Africa.

As Diana’s children, they have, of course, received extra attention and affection from the public – as well as speculation（猜测）. To the delight of young Royal fans, a new generation of Royals has emerged, and with them their girlfriends Kate Middleton and Chelsea Davy.

It was recently rumored that Prince William will propose to Kate with one of Diana’s treasured rings. It seems that the young princes are keeping Diana’s memory alive.

B．They do much beneficence to children who needed help.

C．They have received extra attention and affection from the public.

4．Why did Diana move a lot of people when she was alive?

A．Because she was very beautiful.

B．Because she had two excellent sons.

C．Because of her charity work and glamorous image.
