After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know the other woman loves you and would love to spend some          with you.” The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been       for 20 years, but the demands of my work and my boys made it possible to visit her only         .
Then I called to visit her to go out for dinner and a movie. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she had curled her        and was wearing a nice dress. My mother took my arm          she were the First Lady.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable      —nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. At last, she said,” I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I       .
Two days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a         to do anything for her.
Later, I received a copy of a restaurant receipt from the place mother and I had dined. A(n)        note said, “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night          for me. I love you, son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and giving our loved ones the time that they          . Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be         till “some other time”.

I am a mom of two young children whom we home-school. This       that they are with me almost constantly. Whenever possible I will       random acts of kindness;       things like paying for the order behind me in the drive-thru lane, holding doors, etc. So, they are very       with the concept and are, of course,       to also do "nice" things for others.
Just a few days ago we stopped       our local grocery store to pick up a few things which quickly turned into an entire cart load of stuff. We got into one of the two open checkout lanes and waited our      . While waiting a young man came up behind us with only a few       in his basket. I told him to go ahead of us as we were in no      . 
He seemed very pleasantly surprised and graciously      . As he began putting his items on the belt the clerk began to       her till tape so we had a fairly long wait in line. My kids were very      behaved but they were still children; they asked questions, they talked      , they moved around and they were generally very entertaining. (To me, anyway.) 
I could see the young man watching and listening with a smile on his face.  
We were putting our groceries on the       when the clerk finished with       order. What I didn't know was that he had heard my kids       bubble gum. I had agreed they could have some.      , he picked up a pack of bubble-gum and asked the clerk to ring it through twice before putting it back. He then told my kids that he bought their gum       their mom was       enough to let him go ahead in the queue.

Letting go of success
I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've____ that the best way to do it is to let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully ____ today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never ____ while resting comfortably on their laurels (荣誉). The ___ is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!
I once ____ a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend ____ Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her ____ son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor.

The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable ____ for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.
When his mother told him the time had come to ____, the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this?” ____ to the Oscar.
“Sure, ” he smiled. “It's yours.”
The horrified mother ____. “Put that back immediately!”
Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me;   ____it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a ____ hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to____, rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.
You may have learned to let go of past ____ and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the ____? Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?
“I like the ____ of the future better than the history of the past,” said Thomas Jefferson. I ____. After all, the future, not the past, is where the rest of your life will be lived.

We chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together. Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your coworkers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues, managers or human resources staff can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.
It's important to keep the right balance between getting along with colleagues and maintaining your privacy. “Communication in the office is tricky and complicated. You can neither spread chatter, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others,” said Yang Yudan, deputy HR director at P&G.
According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as the weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is a potential minefield.
Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company in Guangzhou last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn't realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her,” said Liang. “Then our HR told me that according to the employee handbook it is forbidden to talk about salary in the office.” HR expert Yang also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It is unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.
To summarize, Yang advises office workers to be more aware of the image they project when talking to colleagues, “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow down your career progressing.”
小题1:The author quoted Yang Yudan in the text to ________.
A.show his admiration for her
B.make an argument with her
C.support his own viewpoint
D.build up his fame
小题2:What can be inferred from the fact that Liang Kun had to resign his job according to the text?
A.It was unwise for him to share information with others.
B.He broke the rules made by the company.
C.He was such an honest person that he told the truth.
D.He treated his colleagues as family members.
小题3:What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To draw people's attention to their behaviors in public.
B.To advise office workers to be aware of the image they project.
C.To make you believe that communication in the office is complicated.
D.To warn you to be careful of invisible trouble while talking about your privacy to colleagues.
小题4:Which would be the best title for the text?
A.At Work, Keep It to Yourself
B.Keep the Right Balance
C.Share Your Personal Life with Others
D.Safe Topics to Talk about
