My crippled(瘸腿的)grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, looking at her beautiful movements, completely        . Do you know she'd had her accident. I had read that in an old newspaper article.
‘‘So...Your leg? I mean,         did your leg heal(治愈)?"
“To tell you the truth my legs have been well all my life,” she said.
“But I don't understand!” I said, “Your dancing career...You         all these years?”
‘‘Very much so, and for a very good        .”
She thought for a while and then continued. “Your grandfather and I were talking about engagement(訂婚)        he had to go to war. I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance. I put all my heart          practicing and I became very good. The public loved me, but all I could feel worried about not knowing whether the love of my life would          return. One day a letter came, There were only three sentences: “I have lost my leg. I am no longer a        man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.”
“I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought        a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. No one doubted the story l had learned to limp(一瘸一拐地走). And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a         I knew well. Then I went to the hospital. The nurses pushed your grandfather outside in his         .I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. “There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to         you. You are going to walk yourself.”
I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket. “Now show me you are          a man.” I said.He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled(掙扎) out of that wheelchair.He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair          in his life.”
“What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day          he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”

Dad lost his job after arguing(爭吵) with the boss, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took me out into the park. I had a blanket(毛毯) wrapped(卷繞) around me, so I offered to share        with Dad, but he said no thanks. We looked           at the sky. Those shining stars were one of the       treats for people like us who lived out in the wildness(荒涼). Rich city people, he’d say, live in fantastic flats, but their air was so polluted(污染的) that they could not even see the stars.

“Right,” Dad said, “But you can suppose it is yours. And when you do that, it is yours.”
      my head, looked at the stars, and tried to figure out(斷定) which was the best one. Then, I found one.
“I       that one.” I said.
Dad smiled. “That’s Venus(金星),” he said, “Venus was only a planet. She looked bigger and brighter because she was much       than the stars. Poor old Venus didn’t even make her own light. She shone only from reflected(反射)       .”
“I like it anyway,” I said, “I had loved Venus even       that Christmas. You could see it in the early evening, and if you got up early, you could still see it in the morning, after all the stars had disappeared.”
Dad said, “Ok, it’s Christmas. I       your decision. You can have it if you want.” And he gave me Venus.
We all laughed about the kids who believed in the Santa myth(圣誕傳說) and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch(堆) of cheap plastic toys. “Many years later, when all the junk(廢物) they got is broken and long forgotten,” Dad said, “you will       have your star.”

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner. 
I still remember one night my mum put some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his       , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night.       I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He     as usual, every single bit. 
After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I        burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
     , I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and      , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect.       is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something        over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy      .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember,        bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.

Scientists are trying to find out how things affect our feelings. How you feel is controlled by many things, such as your personality(性格), the actions(行動) of others. Maybe you don’t know the weather can affect your feelings as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies makes vitamin D(維生素D). Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical(化學(xué)物質(zhì)). This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. To help the people in these countries feel better, scientists build special “sunrooms” for people to go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people’s feelings in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people don’t feel comfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unhappy. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can affect our feelings in these ways. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we cannot change the weather.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE about vitamin D according to the passage?
A.It is a kind of special food.
B.It makes us worried by affecting our brains.
C.It is helpful to our bodies.
D.It is in the sunlight.
小題2:The underlined words “brains” means        in Chinese.
A.心靈B.心臟C.大腦D.精神
小題3:What can we infer(推斷) from the passage?
A.We will feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.
B.We will be happy when we are in the rain.
C.All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.
D.The less vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be.
小題4:What may be the best title for this passage?
A.Why Do We Feel Sad
B.The Weather Influences People’s Feelings
C.People Need More Vitamin D
D.We Can Change the Weather
