Sometimes a person’s independence is a   19  of pride, daring, stubbornness and luck. I used to be too   20  since I was little. I was once a traveler who never asked for   21 , choosing instead to struggle with maps and signs until I found my way.
Then one day on the island of Koh Phangan, in Thailand, everything   22 . I was swimming in the ocean with Sean, my fiancé, when he was   23  by a box jellyfish(箱型水母). He   24 within three minutes, 25 years old. Yet when onlookers and travelers asked if I wanted   25 , stubborn pride and force of habit   26  me accepting. But two young Israeli women stayed.   27  my protest(反對), they were with me even when the police tried to cover up the   28  of Sean’s death. It was listed as drunk drowning to avoid hurting the   29  industry. The Israeli women   30  have walked away.   31 , without even telling me, they   32  their schedule rather than leave me behind.
  33  I didn’t realize it at that time, I would not have   34  the disaster without these great women. Actually, the person who needs help the most is usually the last person to ask for it. I have learned   35  is better than refusing because it not only helps you walk out of trouble, but also helps you know the real meaning of life.

Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.
Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.
Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is probably best to “bite your lip.”
But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情緒), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.
If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.
小題1:According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?
A. “Please let me through”.
B “I can’t speak French well”.
C. “Sorry I said a bad word”.
D. “I’m very angry with you”.
小題2:What does letting out your frustration help you to do?
A．Make others more upset.
B．Feel happier about yourself .
C．Solve a problem calmly.
D．It is no help at all.
小題3:Who is this passage most likely written for?
A．All kinds of people
B．Young children
C．Very angry people
D．People who like to swear
小題4:How does this passage view expressing emotions?
A．They should be kept very private.
B．They need to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one.
C．They should be expressed any way you like.
D．They should only be expressed if they are positive.

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if?  I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
小題1:The passage is meant to _______.
A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B．a(chǎn)dvise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C．show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame
D．encourage young people to be after a writer career
小題2:What can be concluded from the passage?
A．Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding
B．Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort
C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation（隔離）
D．The chances for a writer to become successful are small
小題3:Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A．He wasn’t able to produce a single book
B．He hadn’t seen a change for the better
C．He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year
D．He found his dream would never come true
小題4: “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____. 
A．thewonderlandonoftendreamsabout
B．thebrightfuturethatoneislookingforwardto
C．thestateofuncertaintybeforeone’sfinalgoalisreached
D．a(chǎn)worldthatexistsonlyinone’simagination

“But, why do you shout when the other person is    17   next to you?” asked the saint. “Isn’t it possible to speak to him or her with a soft    18  ? Why do you shout at a person when you’re angry?”
Disciples gave some other answers but none    19   the saint. Finally he explained, “When two people are angry at each other, their    20   distance a lot.

Then the saint asked, “What    22   when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close and the distance between them is very    23   .”
The saint continued, “When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak loudly, only whisper and they get    24   closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only    25   each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
The saint said finally, “When you argue, do not let your hearts get    26  , and do not say words that distance each other more, or there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not   27   the path to return!”

This Mother’s Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother. She passed away less than a month before Mother’s Day in the year 2000. She had been ill for almost two years, and I didn’t cry when she died, or at her funeral, but on that first Mother’s Day without her. On that day, I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever.
She still lives in family memories, in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers, in the values she had instilled(灌輸) in her children, and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended.
She loved her gladioli and irises. Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper. The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted. It seemed like a lot of effort to me, but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before. She put the same hard work into caring for her family, instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play, compassion, and strong moral values so that we blossomed.
Share anecdotes about your mother’s life at your Mother’s Day party. Too often, we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away, fearful that we will unearth sad feelings. It doesn’t have to be that way. Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆綁）the family together.
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old. Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of. Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity, and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us.
