Chairman Mao once said,“It is not hard to do one good deed. It is hard to do good deeds all your life.” Guo Mingyi, a 52-year-old worker in Anshan, Liaoning did just that. Over the past 20 years, Guo  1  60,000 mL of blood(血). That is the blood of 10 people put together.
Once,   2   the cold winter of 2009,Guo got a call from the hospital. The doctors told him  3  a patient needed a blood donation. Guo didn’t have time to have lunch. He traveled in the snow to   4 the hospital. When he finished donating the blood, he was  5 tired that he fell asleep on the hospital bed.
Guo and his family live a 6  life. They live in a house of only 40 square meters.  7 they don’t have a lot of money, Guo saves money to support poor children. In the past 16 years, he has given away over 100,000yuan to more than 180 poor students. When the parents met him, many cried,“He looks  8 than us.”they said.
Guo has also offered help to thousands of workers, friends and strangers. His warm heart has moved many people. They  9 him a “Modern-Day Lei Feng”.
Recently, Chinese leaders called on people to learn from Guo. They say young people especially should learn his selfless devotion (奉献).

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange（排列） the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark. Knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," love:12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, you’ll find it’s also rewarding（有益的）though it has caused you losses（损失）.
小题1:The writer thinks  _________ is the most important thing in a person’s life.

A．hard-work.

B．knowledge

C．money

D．attitude

小题2:What is the mark of the word money according to the passage?

D．62

小题3:According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way is to ___________.

A．ask for help from others

B．hope to be lucky

C．change your attitude

D．try math-solving ways

小题4:From the passage we can learn that ______________.

A．different attitudes come from different courses of life

B．sometimes failure can bring you good if you take a positive attitude

C．math can solve every problem easily in our daily life

D．none of the English words except “attitude” is 100 or more

Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. There were a few holes in his shoes. He thought hard, but he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.
Ever since his father had died three years ago, his mother worked nights at the hospital, but the small money she made could hardly be enough for their needs.
Although the family lacked in money and material things, they got more love in the family. The children ran the family when their mother was absent. All three of Bobby’s sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.
It was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing. Bobby started to walk down to the street. He walked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so far away. It was getting dark. Suddenly he found a shiny dime (一角硬币) on the ground. Never has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at the moment. It was enough to buy a rose with one dime.
He went inside a flower shop. When the owner asked if he could help him, Bobby took out the dime and asked if he could buy one flower. The shop owner looked at Bobby, then said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The shop owner returned holding a dozen of red roses in his hand. Bobby’s heart sank (下沉) as the owner put them gently into a long white box. “That will be a dime, young man,” said the shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.
Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the red roses?”
The shop owner said, “A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to leave a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was.”

A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clean plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to schoo1．For every person they didn’t want to forgive in their lives，they were told to choose a potato，write on it the name and the date，and put it in the bag．Some of their bags were very heavy.
They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week．They would put it beside their bed at night，on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus，and next to their desk at schoo1．
Days of carrying the bags around with them got the students to get to know what a weight they were carrying in their hands．And they had to pay attention to it all the time (1)__________they didn’t forget it．(2)As time passed by，the potatoes went bad and smelt very terrible．
