My brother and I were brought up in a town in Scotland. Our father was a struggling       , but I always knew he was      . He never criticized us, but used       to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I     as a child I said something         about somebody, and my father said, “        time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best       people, I would get the best     .From then on I’ve always tried to      the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always been very      . At 15, I started a magazine. It was       a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a       :stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision,    any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind,  he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad       me to go into law. And I’ve     __regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist,    _  I didn’t pursue my      .You know what you want. Go fulfill it.”
As       turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national       for young people in the U.K.My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad       me.

试题分析:父亲是一名勤奋的律师,他对孩子们从来不指责批评,而是用自己独特的教育方式去引导孩子们,让孩子们去发现别人身上闪光的地方,从而培养自己的优秀品质。对于孩子们的梦想,父亲也给予理解和支持,在本文中作者通过回忆表达了对父亲的感激之情。
小题1:. B.名词辨析。A. 生物学家;B. 律师;C. 经理;D. 园艺师。从下文“my dad persuaded me to go into law”可知作者的父母亲从事的是法律工作,应该是一个律师,答案选B。

小题3: C.名词辨析。A.力量;B. 勇气;C.表扬;D. 温暖。前一句说他从不批评我们,后一句用but进行转折,显然要选的词应该与criticize词义相反,故选C。

On Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman,the violinist,came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert,you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症)as a child,and so he has braces(支架)on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(双拐).
He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair.Then he sits down,slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs,tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward.Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin,nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.
But this time,something went wrong.Just as he fmished the first few bars(小节),one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear it snap(嘣断)---it went off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that meant.There was no mistaking what he had to do.
We figured that he would have to get up,put on the clasps again,pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage-to either find another violin or else find another string for this one.But he didn’t.Instead.he waited a moment,closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
The orchestra began,and he played from where he had left off.And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.
When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room.And then people rose and cheered.He smiled,wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quit us,and then he said in a quiet tone.“You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.’’
小题1:By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means     .
A.it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
B.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled
C.it’s not easy for ltzhak Perlman to face such a large audience
D.it’s really great achievements for ltzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
小题2:When one of the strings broke,people thought Itzhak Perlman would         .
A.go on playing with the remaining three strings
B.give up playing
C.change or repair his violin
D.get off the stage with shame
小题3:Itzhak Perlman   when one of the strings of the violin broke.
A.gave up playing
B.didn’t know what to do
C.went on playing the same piece of music
D.went on playing a different piece of music
小题4:What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?
A.Surprised.B.Disappointed.C.Moved.D.Satistied.
小题5:Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is    
A.cleverB.strong willedC.humourousD.quite skilled

It had been three months since Ms Miller had started teaching. She was gradually being able to understand all her students, except one, Bob. Bob was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been deteriorating gradually with every single day.
Ms Miller searched through the progress reports of Bob and was shocked to see Bob used to be the topper in his class. Bob's performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. He was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel always. Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob's nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All his friends had abandoned him.
One day, Bob was asked to stay back.Ms Miller asked him if he had any problem understanding his lessons. Gradually she began to give him a comfort zone so that he could talk and share. After three weeks, she found Bob gradually improving. He was being able to answer the questions he previously failed. Every day after all the students went away, Ms Miller gave personal attention to Bob and began to spend time with him. Bob improved a lot over the next semester, showing definite signs of progress in his performance.
On a Friday, Bob came up to Ms Miller, handed her a box and requested her to open the box on Sunday. On Sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. Together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mother's and he wished Ms Miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his Mom near him. He thanked her for everything. Ms Miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag attached to it; it said "Happy Mother's Day”!

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter,rude boss,or an insensitive employee      your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed    __ the airport. We were driving in the       lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes,slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly      the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started      at us.
My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really     . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.
He    that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of    ,full of frustration,full of anger,and full of disappointment. As their garbage      up,they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimesthey’ll dump it on     . Don’t take it personally. Just smile,wave,wish them well,and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be more   . Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with     . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s      in your life. Roy Baumeister,a psychology researcher from Florida State University,found in his extensive research that you      bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you      them more frequently.
So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you      it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”,you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by      go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day!Have a marvelous,garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today      the harvest you reap tomorrow.

A huge shire horse in Australia has been declared the biggest horse in the world by its owner , beating the current Guinness World Record(吉尼斯记录) by several inches .
The huge five-year-old , from Pakenham , S. E Australia , measures an amazing 20.1 hands , or 2.057m tall . He weighs over 1.3 tons ( 1,300kg) — about the same as a small car — and is still growing . His owner , horse trainer Jane Greenman , 47 , says the only time the horse runs is when there is food on offer . “ He eats an unbelievable amount . I would hate to run a team of eight horses his size—it would send you broke . ” she says .
The massive horse , whose name is Noddy , was born in Australia with its parents imported from England . Noddy’s grandfather , Ladbrooke Edward (UK) was the world’s tallest horse during the 1980’s .But Jane had no idea that the horse she raised from the age of six months would grow this big . Noddy immediately began to rocket and soon overtook both his parents in size .
Although she says that she is not interested in the Guiness Book of World Records , nevertheless Jane has carried out her own research and is sure that Noddy comes top . “ The nearest is a horse in Texas , at 20 hands ,” says Jane . “ Noddy is already an inch taller than that . The frightening thing is he still hasn’t finished—shire horses aren’t fully grown until they’re about six or seven .”
Jane has said that Noddy could be sold overseas , possibly even fetching a record price to match his height . She is unwilling to sell , but to fund the high cost of keeping him she needs to put him to work . “ He needs a job . It’s very hard to find jobs for such a big horse in Australia . I wish he could stay here but I’ve tried everywhere , ” she says regretfully . “ I just want people to enjoy this beautiful animal as much as I do .”
