My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would   36   the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   37  was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mummy." She said. "No, Many people are   38 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first  39 , I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, "Mummy, it must be our eyes." She looked at me and said, "You are   40  fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."  41  the years, mother asked me a couple more  42  and always her response to my answers was, "No, but you are getting  43  every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa  44 . Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our   45  to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was  46  when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a  47  between her and me. She saw the   48  on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really  49  your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your   50  ." I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head?" she replied, "No, it is   51  on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough friends and   52   that you will have a shoulder to cry   53  when you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a   54  one. It is sympathetic（同情的）to the pain of    55__.

When I was in the final year of my graduation studies, I visited a friend’s home for lunch.

Everybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life. This time, which took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened.
On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s dress and picked out a beautiful skirt. “ Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” he said．I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death.
He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m thinking about his words, and they’ve changed the way I live my life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. “Someday ”and “one of these days ”are losing their importance  on my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.
Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.
小題1:Why did Jan buy the beautiful skirt but didn’t wear it?
A．She waited for a special occasion to wear it on.
B．She wanted to keep it for someone else.
C．She saved it till she grew up.
D．She would give it to herself as a gift some day.
小題2:What does the underlined word “cherish” mean?
A．Treasure.B．Waste.C．Own.D．Save
小題3:From his experience, the author learns that_______.
A．everybody can have a happy life through efforts
B．every day in our lives is worth cherishing
C．enjoying ourselves is the most important thing in our lives
D．everybody will have some things left to do after his death
小題4:What’s the best title for this passage?
A．Every Day IS a Gift
B．My Sister Jan
C．What Is the Meaningful Life like
D．The Most Important Time in Your Life

“Be nice to people.” This sounds like a platitude（老生常談）,but I’ll never forget my father’s words. I was 10, and I had been mean to someone. He said, “There is no point in being mean to anyone at any time. You never know who you’re going to meet later in life. And by the way, you don’t change anything by being mean. Usually you don’t get anywhere.”
“Remember you can do anything you want to do. Don’t let anyone say, ‘You’re not smart enough, it’s too hard, it’s a foolish idea, no one has done that before, girls don’t do that.’ ”My mom gave me that advice in 1973. And it allowed me to never worry what others were saying about my career direction.
“Always do the best job you can do at whatever you’re assigned（分派）,even if you think it’s boring.” Jerry Parkinson, my boss at P&G, told me this in 1979. Here I was fresh out of Harvard Business School(HBS), and I was assigned to determine how big the hole in the Ivory shampoo bottle should be: 3/8 of an inch or 1/8 of an inch. I did research, focus groups and I would come home at night wondering how I had gone from HBS to this. But later I realized any job you’re given is an opportunity to prove yourself.
“Don’t be a credit hog. If you’re constantly in the neighborhood of good things, good things will happen to you.” Tom Tierney, who was my boss at Bain in 1981 and is now on the eBay board, told me this. It’s true that you get ahead by praising other people.
Finally, in 1998, I was in New York watching the ticker as eBay went public. My husband is a surgeon（外科醫(yī)生）.I called him and told him the great news. And he said, “That’s nice. But Meg, remember that it’s not brain surgery.”
小題1: We can learn that ______ from the passage.
A．“Be nice to people” is the topic that people like
B．it’s not necessary for us all to be too mean at any time
C．I never forget any word that father spoke to me
D．we won’t be successful if we are too mean to others
小題2: How many pieces of advice were given by her family?
A．Two.B．Four.C．Three.D．One.
小題3:This passage was written by _____ order.
A．story developmentB．timeC．working conditionsD．ideas
小題4: The author’s husband is more concerned _____ than eBay’s going public.
A．his successB．opportunity to prove himself
C．brain surgeryD．his career
小題5: What’s the main idea of the whole passage?
A．Advice in life really made a difference to us.
B．We should be nice to people around us.
C．People can succeed by praising others.
D．Too mean persons will get nothing from life.

Every once in a while, it is necessary to take a step back in order to take a long, hard look at where we are in our lives. At this point, it is good to ask yourself a bunch of critical questions. Are you at the point in your career where you want to be ? Have you so far accomplished all of your goals in life ? If so, then maybe it is time to make goals that stretch yourself a bit more. If you have not accomplished your goals in life, then perhaps you have made the mistake of setting too many goals or trying to accomplish them at an unnaturally fast pace.
It is necessary to set reasonable, intelligent goals in order to succeed in life. Do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale. But you should try to recognize what you want, and to be as specific as possible when attempting to visualize（形象化） or otherwise express what your goals in life are.
In order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you, it needs to be a major one. The bigger your goals are, then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them. If you want, for example, to be the greatest concert pianist, in the world, then you are going to find yourself a lot more motivated than you would be if your goal were merely to, say, play a couple of Beethoven pieces extremely well. If you are a beginner, then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set. But if that is your only goal as a pianist, then you will stop growing as a pianist once that goal has been achieved. This is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re-evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are, and thus stay motivated.
小題1:From the passage, if your goals have all been achieved, you should then ______.
A．a(chǎn)sk yourself some serious questions
B．take a hard look at your success
C．set some other intelligent goals
D．stretch yourself to relax
小題2:By saying “l(fā)ife is not a fairy tale”, the author suggests that you should ________ .
A．set as big a goal as possible
B．try hard to realize your dream
C．make your goals practical
D．a(chǎn)bandon all your ambitions
小題3: To perform several Beethoven pieces well is a goal that _______.
A．is not suitable for the pianist
B．is appropriate for a beginner
C．stops you from growing as a pianist
D．is very easy to achieve
小題4:What is the best title for the passage ?
A．Set Intelligent Goals for Yourself
B．Try to Accomplish Your Goals
C．Get Yourself More Motivated
D．Goals Help You to Succeed

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
"Look down, Elsa," Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. "See, my dear," Father said gently. "There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another."
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, "The cook must have gone mad! "Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal, Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.
小題1:
What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day? _______           
A．Do something delicious for lunch.
B．Ask the father to taste her awful lunch.
C．Dismiss the mad cook.
D．Speak to the school about lunch.
小題2:
The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means ______ . 
A．the cook agreed to serve the soup to Father
B．the matter of lunch hasn’t been settled

D．the method the author thought of was effective
小題3:
By sharing her own experiences, the author tries to tell us________.   
A．when one road is blocked, try another
B．how bad the lunch of her school is
C．how wise her father is
D．a(chǎn)bout the church rower' near her home

We would probably all be amazed if we watched a videotape of ourselves performing basically unconscious acts as we go about the business of the day. These unconscious acts consist of all the little personal habits that we don’t even think about, but definitely should. These are some of the things that present an image of who we are to others, and if we are careless in performing them, this image may well be other than we would like it to be.
Parents who insist that their children practice good manners and habits at home are doing them a great service, for these habits then become lifelong and the natural way they do things. It proves true that their unconscious actions will reflect a well-mannered person.
People who, for example, eat with both arms on the table at home will likely do so when out. Those who are lazy and slow in private will certainly be so in public. Children who are permitted to be disrespectful to their parents will follow suit with other adults, and will, most likely, become adults who are disrespectful of others. This is an area where the saying “practice makes perfect” may be applied.
There is an article about the actress, Audrey Hepburn, known for her beautiful carriage and posture. According to her biographer, her grandmother tied her neck to the back of her chair, at table, so that she would not drop down suddenly over her food, but rather would learn to put only small amounts of food on her spoon or fork and bring them to her mouth. This is a rather extreme “at home” method for the development of erect (直立的) posture, but it does illustrate the effectiveness of practicing good habits so that, when in public, they are instinctive.
小題1:
Which of the following expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．Parents should be responsible for their children’s good habits.
B．The actress is well known for her beautiful posture.
C．We should always be aware of our manners.
D．Without good manners, one can never be perfect.
小題2:
Those who eat with both arms on the table at home ______.
A．will probably have the same habit when they have meals in the restaurant
B．will probably change the habit when eating out with their relatives
C．will feel embarrassed when having meals with so many strangers in public
D．will always put their arms on the table no matter where they eat
小題3:
The meaning of “practice makes perfect” in the third paragraph is ______.
A．the more practice one has, the better job he will do
B．the more perfect one is, the more practice he needs
C．if one has enough practice, he will become perfect
D．perfect makes a person practice more
小題4:
Which of the following are NOT true?
A．If we are not careful about our unconscious acts, the images of ourselves presented to others will be quite undesirable.
B．The good habits formed in one’s childhood will benefit him throughout his life.
C．If parents do not care about the disrespectful attitude adopted by their children towards themselves, their children might be disrespectful of others.
D．It is unlikely that a well-mannered person will not embarrass himself in public.

  On Christmas morning, I went to the Cockhedge Mall. People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements. I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of December. Picking up a few more things as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load. This line was next to the Customer Service desk.
Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind me making comments on the things I bought.
It was so funny when I realized that she was describing the contents of my basket. The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady. I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking. The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies. I said, “I’m not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and I’m going home.”
The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying “If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk.” Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye.
Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said “Hope you have a lovely Christmas.” She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge.
What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather. My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound.
小題1:The underlined word “spellbound” in the last paragraph probably means         .
A．interestedB．disappointedC．a(chǎn)stonishedD．frightened
小題2:Which of the following could be the best title of the story?
A．A Piece of Lucky FeatherB．A Surprise Christmas Gift
C．The Boring Shopping ExperienceD．The Unforgettable Big Hug
小題3:How does the writer feel about the pretty young lady?
A．Worried.B．Satisfied.C．GratefulD．Proud.
小題4:What can we learn from the story?
A．Nobody is sure what will happen the next moment.
B．A simple action can bring other people happiness.
C．Being patient will decrease the waiting time.
D．Life without hope and faith is a full thing.
