7.When I was about 12,I had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点).Week by week her list grew:I was very thin,I was not a good student,I talked too much,I was too proud,and so on.I tried to bear all this as long as I could.At last,I became very angry.I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
     He listened to me quietly,and then he asked."Are the things she says true or not?Janet,didn't you 
ever wonder what you're really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of 
everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
     I did as he told me.To my great surprise,I discovered that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin),but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change.
For the first time I went to a fairly clear picture of myself.
     I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it."That's just for you,"he said."You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself.But you have to learn to listen,not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt.When something said about you is true,you'll find it will be of help to you.Our world is full of people who think they know your duty.Don't shut your ears.Listen to them all,but hear the truth 
and do what you know is the right thing to do."
     Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.In my life,I've never had a better piece of advice.

A.He told her not to pay any attention to what her"enemy"had said and just do what she want to do.

C.He told her to write down all her"enemy"had said and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D.He refused to take the list and want to have a look at it.
42.What does"Week by week her list grew"mean?B
A.She made a list of my shortcomings and kept on adding new ones so it was growing longer and longer.
B.Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D.Week by week,my shortcomings grew more serious.
43.Why did her father listen to her quietly?A
A.Because he believed that what her daughter's"enemy"said was mostly true.
B.Because he had been so angry with her daughter and wanted to keep  silent.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D.Because he was not quite sure which girl was telling the truths.
44.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?B
