    Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, weary, and plain sad. My focus was on me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials I was.
    I expressed my upset state to my mother, hoping for some pity. Instead, she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?”
    I didn’t really want to, but decided that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of empathy.
    That afternoon I dropped by my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, “ I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie’s face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.
    I got back into the car and for some amazing reason; I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barri attempted to describe, “ Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”

    One cold night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco． There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a    26   practice at the theatre． With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart．I was having    27   handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time． As I walked I thought seriously about    28    both acting and San Francisco．I had    29  too much of city life．

    Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired any more．I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk    38   for 15 minutes，my wallet was   39 to be found．
    Just as 1 was about to quit the    40  , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to   41 ．When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was   42 ．How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an amused look in his eyes, “Is this   43  you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet．
    It was already 3 am． by the time I got into bed． I couldn’t get much sleep，but I had got my wallet back． I also had got back some    44  of city life． I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place    45   people were willing to help each other．

    My six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time.”Grandma, you are an antique(古董),”she said. "You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique."
    I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster's Dictionary and read the definition(定义)to Jenny.I explained, "An antique is not only old, it's an object existing since or belonging to earlier times...a work of art... piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,"I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. "They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old."
    "I'm only 67,"I renunded Jenny.
    We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from rone aunt to another and finally to our family. "It's very old,"I told Jenny.“I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques."
    There was a picture on the wall purchased at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. "Now  that's an antique," I boasted. "Over 100 years old." Of course it was marked up and scratched and not in very good condition. "Sometimes age does that," I told Jenny. "But the marks are good marks. They show living, being around. That's something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become." It was important that I believed this for my own self-esteem.
    Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn't buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. They'd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. They'd lasted through years and years. They could have been tossed away, or ignored. or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.
    For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l don't have any antiques but you," she said. Then her face brightened. "Could I take you to school for show and tell?"
    "Only if I fit into your backpack," I answered. And then Jenny's antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.
    小题1:Grandma read the definition of "antique" to Jenny in order to         .
    A．list all the important characteristics of antiques
    B．tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques
    C．change Jenny's shallow understanding of antiques
    D．express her disappointment at being called "antique"
    小题2:Which of the following information did grandma convey to Jenny?
    A．The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.
    B．The marks on the picture showed its age and value.
    C．There was usually a sad story behind each antique.
    D．She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.
    小题3:By saying "I don't have any antiques but you" (Paragraph 7), Jenny meant         .
    A．grandma was a treasure to her
    B．antiques were rare and valuable
    C．she had nothing but a few possessions
    D．grandma and antiques had a lot in common
    小题4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
    A．Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up.
    B．Jenny had a strong desire for grandma's love.
    C．Jenny was too young to know grandma's humor.
    D．Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny.
    小题5:What can be the best title for the passage? 
    A．Jenny's AntiqueB．A Story of Antiques
    C．A Tour of AntiquesD．Grandma's Antique

    My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest(竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970,when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don't know which of us was more excited.
    Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug(拥抱) their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity for nothing could have felt more natural.
    He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn't get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
    Because of that motorcycle, I wasn't allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.
    小题1:I hugged and kissed my father at every opportunity,______.

    Honesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not. I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it. “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else. ” Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that
    In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that any more, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.
    It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.
    小题1:The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the FIRST paragraph means________.
    A．to be unrealB．to be honest
    C．to become clearD．to come from an imagined world
    小题2:Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?
    A．Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.
    B．Be your true self rather than follow others.
    C．Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
    D．Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.
    小题3:What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?
    A．Honesty can be of great help.
    B．A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
    C．One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.
    D．Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.
    小题4:In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express________.
    A．one must be brave to be honest
    B．it’s difficult to be honest when others are not
    C．one should be honest when making a deposit
    D．honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future

    This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup.
    But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.” I saw the sadness in Bryan’s eyes. He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay.” I saw the shadow (阴影) in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come any more — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove (炉子) and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
    When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored (烦躁的)! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword — together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
    小题1:What does the underlined part (in Paragraph 2) mean?
    A．It was time to cook hot soup for Bryan that night.
    B．This was the evening when Bryan stayed with his grandma.
    C．Bryan would have a good rest that night.
    D．Bryan would stay with his parents that night.
    小题2:Why didn’t the author want to stay with her grandson that night at first?
    A．She was too tired to have fun or play games with him.
    B．She was sick and wanted to have a good rest.
    C．She was too busy and had to work overtime that night.
    D．She had to prepare soup for the whole family.
    小题3:How many times did the author describe Bryan’s eyes?
    A．1.B．2.C．3.D．4.
    小题4:From the passage, we can infer that _____.
    A．Bryan’s parents separated so he had to live with his grandma
    B．Bryan was sad that night because his grandma didn’t play with him
    C．the author wouldn’t want to stay with her grandson any more
    D．the author and her grandson loved each other very much

    Dash of Hope
    “Dash” is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your “dash” is important.
    Recently I  36  about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by  37 , nor happenstance（意外事件）, that she had been named “Hope”. The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity  38  in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others.  39  I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.
    Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was  40  a “wish” in early December 2010 by the “Make-A-Wish” Foundation after being  41  that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However, when she found out that more than 150  42  in her area were waiting for their wishes to be achieved , she unselfishly used her wish to  43  that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done  44  January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her  45  request could not be granted as the funds were simply  46 . They calculated that they would need to raise more than one  47  dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish.  48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring  49  to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually  50  as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations  51  the story of this caring young girl who had  52  the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in  53  money to help make Hope’s dream come true.
    Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only  54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, “A Celebration of Hope” on January 16, 2011 , the  55  was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!

    Do any of these statements sound familiar? Are you used to putting yourself down? If so, you' re not alone．As a teen, you're going through many changes in your body．And as your body changes, so does your image of yourself．Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect their self-esteem （自尊） ．
    If you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the way you are．This healthy attitude allows you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, growing more independent from your parents, and challenging yourself physically and mentally．Developing these parts of yourself can help boost （提升） yourself-esteem．
    A positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle （such as exercising and eating right） are a great combination for building good self-esteem．
    Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves． But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself．
    The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size or color it comes in．If you are very worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to verify （核实） that things are OK．But it is no one's business but your own what your body is like—ultimately, you have to be happy with yourself．
    Next, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you can't．Everyone has things about themselves that they can't change and need to accept—like their height, for example, or their shoe size．
    When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop．Try building your self-esteem by giving yourself three good things every day．By focusing on the good things you do and the positive aspects of your life, you can change how you feel about yourself．
    The most important thing is to get help if you feel like your body image and self-esteem are affecting your life．
