We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money,but most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job,did Jim,as a friend,really feel good about it? Or did he envy my luck?" "And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back,doubts like these can make us feel bad.
But when we look back,it is too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends,or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen,we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog!"(你真幸运！) Is he really on your side? If he says, " You're a lucky guy (人，家伙) ！"，that is being friendly. But "a lucky dog?" there is a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
( ) 11. When the writer recalls (回想) some of the things that happened between him and his friends,he .
A. feels happy,thinking how nice his friends were to him
B. feels he might not have understood his friends' true feelings
C. think it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
D. is sorry that his friends let him down
( ) 12. When the writer talks about someone saying, "You're a lucky dog!"， he is saying that .
A. the speaker is just friendly ,
B. this sentence suggests the same as "You're a lucky guy"
C. the word "dog" should not be used to apply to people
D. sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious
( ) 13. This passage tries to tell you how to .
A. avoid (避免) mistakes about money and friends
B. get an idea of friendly people
C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D. keep people friendly without trusting them
( ) 14. The writer suggests that be trusted.
A. everybody B. nobody
C. all the people D. not all the people
( ) 15. Which of the following is RIGHT?
A. The person who says " You are a lucky dog" is on your side.

My mother's father worked in a church when he was young. One day,he built some boxes for some clothes. The church was sending them to an orphanage (孤儿院) in India. On his way home,he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses,but they were gone. Then he realized what had happened：the glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the boxes. His new glasses were on the way to India！
Grandpa had spent $20 for those glasses that very morning. That was much money for him then. He was upset by the thought of having to buy another pair. "It's not fair. I've been working so hard. How can this happen to me?" he thought.
Several months later,the director of the orphanage came to the US. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported his orphanage in India,so he came to give a speech one Sunday at my grandfather's small church in Chicago. The director began by thanking the people for their kindness.
"But most of all ," he said ," I must thank you for the glasses you sent. You see,the typhoon (台风) had just swept through the orphanage,destroying everything,including my glasses. Along with not being able to see well,I had headaches every day. Then your boxes arrived. When I opened them,I found a pair of glasses lying on top."
The people in the church were confused. There were no glasses on the list. But sitting quietly in the back,my grandfather realized what his glasses had done.
There are times when we come across something bad,we always want to complain. But perhaps it is something we should thank. Maybe you should thank God for not allowing your car to start this morning,because he may have saved your life from a car accident.

B. He wanted to visit the churches that supported his orphanage.
C. He wanted to buy some clothes.

A. Because they wanted to send the clothes to another country.
B. Because they didn't listen to the director carefully.
C. Because they never sent glasses toIndia.
