         We do some strange things when we don't like the way our life is going. Too often we blame(埋怨)
    someone else.
         "I wish my parents were more understanding."
         "I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!"
         "My friends are so boring and self-centred. They make my life worse and worse."
         Blame! Blame! Blame!
         It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don't like your life, you should do
    something about it. No one else knows exactly how  you feel or what you need.  No one can read your
    mind correctly. You are the only one with the  power(能力) to  check your life, and if you want it to be
    different, you can change what you're doing. This means asking.. "What do I need? What do I want to
    do?" instead of trying to meet others'  needs. For example,  try  to  decide how you want to spend your
    evening instead of asking somebody else for advice. We teach other people how we want to be treated.
    If we don't think of our own needs, no one else will either.
         When you're in trouble, don't give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose
    how you want to think and act(行动). Other people can't make you unhappy or angry. They only act in
    their own way and then it's up to you to decide how you will respond(回应). For example, your friends
    go out to lunch withou t you.  You feel angry.  How are you going to act?  You may blame your friends.
    "They're not kind. Who needs  them anyway?"  or  you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their
    explanation(解释), and let them know you'd like to be invited next time.
         When you decide everything in your own way,  you're  getting  hold  of your own life and shaping it
    according  to  your tastes  and feelings.  You can  choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an
    interesting life. When you blame others for what is  or  isn't  happening  in  your life,  you have stopped
    growing or learning.
         One of the most important rules is that  you  can  never  change another person by your direct action.
    The only person you have the right and power to change is yourself. Once you change, the other person
    then has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you  want change in your life, begin
    with yourself...put love into your power to take action.
    1．What should we do if we don't like our life?
    A．Sing that self-pitying song.
    B．Read our minds correctly.
    C．Change what we're doing.
    D．Tell others what we want.
    2．If the writer's friends have dinner together without him, he may ________.
    A．forget it and be still friendly with them
    B．talk to them and try to find out why
    C．do the same thing to them in return
    D．ask somebody else to talk to them
    3．What's the writer's idea about how to change others?
    A．He thinks it's impossible to change others.
    B．He believes our love can change everything.
    C．He chooses to talk with others directly.
    D．He prefers to change ourselves first instead.
    4．How many points of view(观点)are mentioned in the passage?
    A．Three.
    B．Four.
    C．Five.
    D．Six.

    Kelly Christopher, a student at Lutheran High School in California, US, loves oranges. One day last week, she used a pole(竿子) to pick oranges off trees and collect them in baskets. It’s the first time in her 15 years she’s picked fruit from trees.
    "This is quite different from buying oranges in the supermarket," said Christopher. "Every time I eat an orange, I’ll remember this experience."  
    Christopher was one of the 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards. Before, the fruit would rot on the ground or get eaten by animals. Now the fruit is donated to those who need it.
    "It is good for many people", said Randy Stannard, who works for the project. "The homeowner gets fruit picked and more people can have healthy food."
    "Two harvests (收成 ) were organized in 2009 and volunteers picked 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of fruit", Stannard said. In 2010, the number was 20,000. This year, Soil Born Farms hopes to get 40,000 pounds. They will harvest every weekend from January to April.
    Shannon Galloway, Christopher’s science teacher, brought her students into the project this year.
    "You’re making use of a resource that might be wasted," she said. "I think it’s meaningful to everyone."
    Donato Frazier, 15, always climbs up a ladder(梯子) and gets on the top of the tree.
    "Standing on the treetop is pretty cool," Frazier said. "I can see clearly that many baskets are filled up, and even see that many people are eating healthy fruit because of our volunteer work."                                          
    71. Christopher and other students went to pick fruits from real trees because they wanted to _____.
    A. have some fresh fruit for themselves    B. make some money by selling fruit
    C. provide people with more healthy fruit   D. buy some cheap fruit from their neighbors
    小题1: When was the project set up?
    A．In 2008. B．In 2009.C．In 2010. D．In 2011.
    小题2:What will happen to the fruit if they don’t help the homeowners pick it?
    A．The fruit will rot or be eaten by small animals.
    B．People who need the fruit will come to pick it.
    C．The fruit will be used as a resource for research.
    D．Homeowners will pick the fruit and sell it.
    小题3: What does the underlined word “mean?
    A．资源B．调查C．对策D．娱乐
    小题4:How do the students feel about their work?
    A．It’s interesting and easy.B．It’s meaningless and hard.
    C．It’s meaningful and exciting.D．It’s tiring and boring.

    　　She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110 pounds, but Miss Bessie was a towering presence in the classroom．She was the only woman tough enough to make me read Beowulf and think for a few stupid days that I liked it．From 1938 to 1942, she taught me English, history－and a lot more than I realized．

    　　I shall never forget the day she scolded(批评)me into reading Beowulf．“But Miss Bessie, ” I complained, “I ain’t much interested in it．”

    　　Her large brown eyes became sharp．“Boy, ” she said, “how dare you say ‘ain’t’ to me! I’ve taught you better than that．”

    　　“Miss Bessie, ” I said, “I’m trying to join the football team, and if I go around saying ‘it isn’t’ and ‘they aren’t, ’ the guys are gonna laugh me off the team．”

    　　“Boy,” she replied, “you’ll play football because you have guts(勇气)．But do you know what really takes guts? Refusing to lower your standards to those of the crowd．It takes guts to say you’ve got to live and be somebody fifty years after all the football games are over．”

    　　I started saying “it isn’t” and “they aren’t, ” and I still joined the team without losing my friends’ respect．

    　　Negroes, as we were called then, were not allowed in the town library, except to sweep floors or clean tables．But with the help of some nice whites, Miss Bessie kept getting books out of the white library．That is how she introduced me to the Bront?s, Byron and Keats．“If you don’t read, you can’t write, and if you can’t write, you might as well stop dreaming, ” Miss Bessie once told me．

    　　So I read whatever Miss Bessie told me to, and tried to remember the things she insisted that I store away．It could be embarrassing to be unprepared when Miss Bessie said, “Get up and tell the class who Frances Perkins is and what you think about her．” Forty-five years later, I can still recite her “truths to live by”．

    　　Miss Bessie noticed things that had nothing to do with schoolwork, but were essential to a youngster’s development．Once a few classmates made fun of my worn-out hand-me-down overcoat．As I was leaving school, Miss Bessie patted me on the back of that old overcoat and said, “Carl, never worry about what you don’t have．Just make the most of what you do have － a brain．”

    　　No child can get all the necessary support at home, and millions of poor children get no support at all．This is what makes a wise, educated, warm-hearted teacher like Miss Bessie so essential to the minds, hearts and souls of this country’s children．

    (1)

    [　　]

    C．

    the students thought she was tall and heavy

    D．

    [　　]

    A．

    B．

    Carl hated to read Beowulf in public．

    C．

    Miss Bessie wanted Carl to be a better man．

    D．

    Miss Bessie didn’t want Carl to play football．

    (3)

    [　　]

    his parents were too poor to afford books

    he was not allowed into the library

    she expected him to have a goal in life
