（2014山西）

In 2002，I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday in 2014．It is 2014 now．Yesterday was my birthday and I opened it．This is what it said：

Dear Sherri，

By the time you read this，you will be 30．At the age of 18 I had many dreams about you．Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you’ve always wanted to，both in Canada and abroad，maybe you have even settled down somewhere in France，and maybe you are working in the field of art．I hope you’re married to Gwynn—the man of your dreams．You’ll probably have two children—a girl and a boy．

If everything goes okay，you’ll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children．You are doing research in painting．Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves．

However，if things don’t go according to plan，I wish you love，happiness and joy．

Love，

Sherri“18”

When I read this．I was surprised．So much of what I wanted has come true．

I did travel to a few more places in Canada．I’ve traveled to the UK，Australia and Egypt．I have been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house，in a small suburb（郊区），in a major city．I am an art teacher in a university．I have two lovely kids．

But not everything went as what I hoped．I married a man named Tom Rees．and he is an excellent artist．We are doing all right for ourselves．

I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman’s reality（现实）．

【1】How long did Sherri wait to open the letter?

A．For 12 vears．

B．For 18 years．

C．For 30 years．

【2】What does the underlined phrase“settled down”mean in Chinese?

B．旅行

C．定居

【3】Among her dreams，which one did NOT come true?

A．To work in the field of art．

B．To be a mother of two kids．

C．To marry a computer programmer．

【4】What can we infer（推断）from the passage?

B．She enjoys the life with her family now．

C．She loses hope because not everything goes well．

【5】What is the best title for this passage?

A．Dream on the Way

B．Dream and Reality

C．How to Achieve Your Dream

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 【2】_________ When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. 【3】________ All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. 【4】________, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. 【5】_________. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
