I was said to be the worst student and my family thought it would be a miracle if I ever did my matriculation（录入大学）．I was   1  class Ⅵ and during the same time a new teacher Miss Sadia, joined our school．She was a fresh graduate maybe, but her   2   was far beyond her physical age．

I was sitting in my classroom during our lunch break, as I was in the habit of staying 3  ．Noticing that, she called me over and  4   with me．After that day she gave particular   5 to me and it make me feel _ 6__．my grades started to   7   in her subject and I also began to feel happier．

A few months later, she   8   a block away from my home．We would walk home together once in a while．She always had something special to say and was sure of me _ 9 __I was of myself．Her   10    support helped me．I came second in class and was   11  ．but our relationship continued; she was always   12   and had time to listen to me．

When I did my matriculation and left school, I was out of   13   with her as she was hardly   14   over the phone．I studied and studied, and then did my   15  ．I knew I could do it as she had implanted her   16   and confidence deep inside me．

One fine day our paths  17   again．We met at a wedding．I told her that I had done my master and how I had   18  her in all these years．

 She held my hand and said, “you are complete and you   19   not give credit to anyone for your success and your failures．I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not   20   others, and here your are”．

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.

He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed.His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."

I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy,not suffer.I'm tryingto recognize these moment now and treasure them.

"Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary.If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure whatmy sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .

I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.

If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make meangry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touchwith someday.Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.

I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when  I open my eyes, I tell myself that everyday, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.

56．The best title for the passage would be______.

       A．Everyday is A Gift                    B．My Poor Sister

       A．she wanted to wear it on special occassions

       B．she kept it as a special gift for someone else

       C．she saved it untill she grew older

       D．she waned to keep it as a sweet memory

58．Which of the following is not the wirter’s attitude to life?

       A．spending more time staying with family

       B．attending social activities as often as possible

       C．enjoying life and valuing every day
