Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a good   16 , except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to   17 . Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this   18 , and took every   19  she could find to practice these high   20 . As she lived in a small house where she could not practice without   21   the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Every time she heard a   22  or a person coming along the   23 , she stopped and   24   until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a   25  person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.
One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so   26  and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most   27  notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious   28   suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to   29  all his tires carefully.
Mrs. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as   30  as he had been when he stopped.

Two weeks later she went into my office ,26 . She had left her bed 27  for the first time in 30 years－and nothing bad had happened. “And guess what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”
This woman had made two major breakthroughs. One was discovering that she had 28  in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself 29  to be less that 30 .

The 32 is, many people choose in ways that put 33  and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
So what is the 34  ? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should 35 regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be 36  parts of life. The 37  is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel 38 about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as 39 as your mother kept hers. 40  more of your time with  want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.

Not long ago, someone asked the dad of a young pop star what his son would have done if he hadn’t become a singer. The father said he had  36 considered anything else. This was his Plan A. There had been no Plan B. I  37 this to my son Marty, who was studying musical theater at college,when he was thinking about a second   38 in business or teaching.
“Just study what you’re interested in ,” I said.
“But what if I can’t   39   it?” he asked.
“It’ll still be worth it.” I answered.
My friends think I’m   40  . They’ve advised their own children to   41  something they think will bring them financial rewards, ___42   they don’t love it. “Times are hard: get your son into something that can   43  a good job.” A friend told me.

It was a Sunday afternoon. I was waiting outside the classroom where my son was about to take a(n)   31  . The boys and girls were busy discussing the exam, while their anxious parents were watching them outside. There was a lot of  32  .
I noticed one boy who was standing alone in silence, with fear written all over his face. He did not join other children  33  the discussion and he looked puzzled. He wanted to mix with the others;  34  , he didn’t seem to be confident enough. He 35  me deeply. I moved towards him and smiled at him. He smiled back warmly.

This helped him  36  his fear and he told me something about himself: his parents never cared about him and did not  37   him even if he was always a top student. I told him that his education was preparation for later life that should never be   38  .

Anne responded on May 20, 2009
Julie, most of us are never going to achieve the heights you did as the CEO of a company. I just want to say that I was so touched by your transparency (坦诚). I haven’t been attacked publicly ever like you, but I’ve suffered from depression—just recently in fact. It helps a lot to hear personal stories, and it helped to read how you might have handled things differently.
 
Nancy responded on May 21, 2009
Something in Julie drew her to artwork during a very dark time in her journey. And later she stated that it’s beauty that keeps her going. Beauty and creativity can be very powerful in our lives. And it doesn’t surprise me that Julie was drawn to these naturally. Anne, maybe the artistic kinds of activities Julie used will support you well as you move beyond the depressive feelings you’re dealing with.
 
Anne responded on June 4, 2009
Nancy, thanks so much for taking the time to offer some great ideas for using creativity to help with depression. Actually during this time I’ve found that my creative work has been the one thing that’s brought me a lot of joy.
 
Julie responded on June 2, 2009
Nancy, thank you for your insights (深刻见解). Warmly, Julie.
 
Chris responded on May 31, 2009
I don’t normally comment on blogs, but this was a very insightful and transparent post (帖子). I could really feel that you were open and honest about everything you wrote about. Thanks for sharing and good luck with everything that you do.
 
Julie responded on June 9, 2009
Thanks, Chris.
 
Wendy responded on May 30, 2009
Julie, everything you shared here is inspiring. Thank you for having the courage to be so open. I love what you’re doing here. Keep it up!
 
Julie responded on May 31, 2009

I don’t really care how many claws the animal in a comic book (漫画书) has. I’m not overly concerned whether the bird is colored green or grey. In fact I don’t think comic book “collector” really applies to me at all. I’m probably more of a comic book “appreciator”. My interest has always been in what can be accomplished with the medium of “visual story - telling”. In the respect, comic books are the best thing going. And there are some great comics out there.
I’m not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading – skills. The Mighty Thor made me develop an interest in Norse legends; Challengers of the Unknown got me interested in science fiction. The combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard (起点) for my childhood imagination.
So just how does one learn to appreciate comic book art? There is a classic example. Writer Scott Macloud was philosophical (达观的) about what makes a comic book stand out in his best – selling book Understanding Comics. The book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically useful for students studying graphic illustration (图示说明).
On the Internet there are some cool comic book sites to be found. More than a few are mainly about superheroes and the like. But there are some choice sites that I would describe as “literary (文学的),” in that you can find some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. Among them there is a great article and interview at www.rcharvey.com discussing the influence of several artists and writers in the field.
Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. You may find yourself enjoying what you see and read. You may even find yourself wanting more.
And wanting to read more is a good thing!

A．the color of the characters in a comic book
B．how many comic books he has collected
C．what he can learn from a visual story
D．whether a story is true to life
54．What do we know about Scott Macloud’s best – selling book?
A．There are many classic examples if comic books in it.
B．It is helpful 1 for students studying science fiction.
C．It suggests what good comic books are like.
D．It is mainly intended for parents.
55．In the passage, the author encourages people to         .
A．follow the example of superheroes from comic books
B．join in the discussion at www.rcharvey.com
C．consider comic books to be literary.
D．buy and read more comic books
56．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Children’s favorite books
B．Well – known comic books
C．Comic books – cooler than you think
D．How to become a good comic book writer
