I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage, credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us   51  chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell   52 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I   53  the countryside for some place I could rent for the   54  possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was   55 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and   56  a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, but slowly, they started teaching me the   57  of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began sticking around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a   58  American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were   59  for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.   60  on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my   61  with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into   62 . I saw many people were having a really hard time,
  63  their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to   64  a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in shelters if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about   65  we can all get bytogether.

One Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents’ house to feast upon Mom’s wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter (閑聊), I noticed that my father was slurring (說話含混) his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor (腫瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”
Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal (晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.?
On the visit to my parents’ home during what we all know was my father’s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.
“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”
He tried to speak, but he couldn’t make out a word.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,” I said.
With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”
We don’t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.
小題1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination.
B．The writer’s father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor.
C．The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father.
D．The writer’s father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it.
小題2: What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?
A．There’s little possibility for Father to recover.
B．It takes a long time for Father to recover.
C．Father needs love and care from his family.
D．They need a proper time to operate on Father.
小題3: The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because ________.
A．he believed in strictness and punishment
B．he was not so attached to the writer
C．he thought there was no need to tell the writer
D．he was not used to openly showing his emotions
小題4:What does the writer attempt to tell us?
A．We don’t often value health until we lose it.
B．Don’t wait to see a doctor till it is too late.
C．Life is short, so live your life to the fullest.
D．Bravely express your love for your family.

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (鋪瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is    1  .
Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve    2   what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will    3   make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different    4 , or forget about it and    5  the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively    6  life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.
The first    7  is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to    8 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is awareness. We should    9   that happiness is a byproduct (副產(chǎn)品) of something else. The most obvious    10   are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are   11   to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our   12   has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should    13  this truth: if you choose to find the   14   in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As for happiness itself, this    15   depends on your decision to make.

There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy．This is because of the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds．
People who are to be happy pay their attention to the good side of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful things．Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things．Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied．By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere．The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes．I hope this little warning may help them change this habit．
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck．Nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments．they should change their bad habits .If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them．Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels．
小題1:People who are unhappy _______．
A．a(chǎn)lways consider things differently from others
B．usually are affected by the results of certain things
C．usually misunderstand what others think or say
D．a(chǎn)lways discover the unpleasant side of certain things
小題2:We can conclude from the passage that _______
A．we should pity all such unhappy people
B．such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C．people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D．unhappy people can not understand happy persons
小題3:If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ____
A．prevent any communication with them
B．show no respect and politeness to them
C．persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D．quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

But now, they were   42  in Westlake.
My children are  43  and my four brothers live far from my home outside Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.  I knew   44 of them would come if  asked, but I didn't want to  45   them,even with the intense    46 I felt.
I   47  picked one of the magazines on the end table beside me and couldn't help  wishing my  48  were there inside. One publication caught my   49 , a magazine I liked best and had   50   to ages ago. I couldn't tell you the last time when I'd read an issue. I   51  it up and I started right in with the letters to the   52  .
"I love  53  my copy every month," the first letter began. The author mentioned a daughter who  54   in Clinton, Pennsylvania. Huh, that's funny. I thought. That's my town! I read the letter to the end, where my   55  fell upon the author's signature:
"Thank you, Margie and Tom Parrish, Westlake, Louisiana"
Alone? Hardly. Margie and Tom-or as I call them, Mom and Dad-were right beside me,even now.
