I tried to make him calm down. He explained that his name was Tom, and that his only son was   45  ill at home and was not expected to   46  another year. He expected that this would likely be the   47  Christmas with his son.
I told Tom to   48  his luggage and wait for me at the gate. I was driving to Cheyenne. I called my wife Kathy, telling her about it and not to wait up for me. I drove fast   49  and we arrived in Cheyenne around 2:30 a. m.
Kathy was still   50  me when I got home in the early morning. We traded gifts and then our conversation   51  Tom. For Kathy and me, there was no   52  that driving Tom to Cheyenne was the   53  choice.
A couple of days later, I   54  a Christmas card with a picture of Tom and his family. In it, Tom thanked me for the special   55  he had received that holiday season, but I knew the best gift was mine.

One day in my class,Maria shared her feelings about money,“Money worries me.I think I want to live without money because I hate it.I HATE MONEY.”We were all touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us.After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems.She hesitated to accept my offer,and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve.I quickly promised her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to.I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt,judgments,or impossible tasks.All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.
Maria still resisted my offer,and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people.“I'll never understand money,”she said.“My facts are meaningless.”“I don't deserve to have money.”“I never have enough.”“I have too little to manage.”“My financial position isn't worth looking at.”and the most devastating one of all,“I just can't do it.”
Going home that day,I couldn't get Maria out of my mind:her attitude conveyed the same negativity and  fear that I believed annoyed many people.I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively.My counseling(咨询)has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self­doubts and fear for survival.Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't believe we can do it well,and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.
On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life,but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were.It locks us up in self­doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power,our spirit.
小题1:The underlined word“devastating”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A.convincingB.interestingC.shockingD.valuable
小题2:Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ________.
A.in the same financial troubleB.in the same financial condition
C.of the same family backgroundD.of the same feeling over the issue
小题3:As for money managing,the author intended to tell Maria how to ________.
A.overcome her fearsB.make wise decisions
C.avoid making mistakesD.learn the necessary skills
小题4:Maria wouldn't take the author's offer of help for fear of________.
A.being forced to share her money with others
B.having to do something beyond her reach
C.being found guilty of making impossible errors
D.showing her judgment about money
小题5:According to the author,people's anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of ________.
A.lifeB.valuesC.spiritD.power

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dear Dick,
My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew

科目:高中英语 来源:不详 题型:阅读理解

You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
  What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve racking(紧张)and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?
 A really good relationship should be about “being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(颠覆,破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵).”  In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’ m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ?” By saying ‘I love you’, they are really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”
小题1: What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The importance of “I love you” 
B.The meaning of “I love you” 
C.The time of saying “I love you” 
D.The place of saying “I love you”
小题2: In the first sentence the author means that _________.
A.it is easy to say “I love you”   
B.it is hard to say “I love you” 
C.we have many troubles in our life
D.people usually do not know when to say “I love you”
小题3: According to the expert, a good relationship should be _______.
A.fair and equal  B.fair and kind
C.powerful and equalD.confident and fair
小题4: In the third paragraph, the phrase “with the upper hand” means _________.
A.being low in spiritB.having only one hand
C.being active   D.being passive

A long time ago, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him.Thus, feeling inferior (低等的), the seed gave no importance to his existence (存在).
Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun.Later, he was given rain.
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side.“Thank God for this.I really need some rest,” he heard the traveler say.
“What are you talking about?” the seed quickly asked.He thought the man was making fun of him.No one ever spoke to him like that.
“Who just spoke?” the shocked man asked.
“It is me.A seed.”
`“A seed?” The man looked at the big tree.“Are you joking? You are not a seed.You are a big tree!”
“Really?”
“Yes! Why else do you think people come here?”
“What do they come here for?”
“To feel your shade (树荫)! Don’t tell me you didn’t know you had grown over time.”
A moment passed before the traveler’s words brought him pride.
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life.The years of torture (折磨) by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up.

I am a person who does not like to wait.I don' t like lines, being put on hold when making a phone call, arriving at an appointment to find that my companion will be delayed and of course, I don * t like waiting rooms.
However, I realize that my agony(痛苦) will not be good for me, as an increasingly, crowded world can only mean one thing—more waiting.
Owing to this, I have taken a measure and decided to turn my disappointment to productive ends.In short, I am looking for what I call "waiting in line books".
These are books that contain material designed for being read in shortened words, so there is no extended story line to lose track of.Another requirement is that they be small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.
The other day I went to the supermarket.Convinced that the rain would keep most people away, I was surprised to see that the place was crowded with shoppers.Every checkout was open—and jammed! But I could take out my pocket book and go to work.
The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library.Look at these titles: One Hundred Things Every American Should Know; The Poetry of Robert Frost; Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers; Still More Toasts.I have learned interesting and enriching things and much knowledge from these books.
On a recent visit to the general store, I placed my order at the counter along with six or seven other people.The one female employee seemed to have her hands full as she rushed about."Just be patient," she said to me.
No problem.I quietly opened my dictionary of prose (散文) and poetical quotations. Perhaps the other customers regarded me as a bookish, lonely soul.But little did they realize that I was enjoying the company of Shakespeare, Thoreau, Homer and Ben Johnson.
小题1:According to the passage, the world ______.
A.needs to produce many materials to useB.is becoming more and more crowded
C.loses tracks of story line increasinglyD.is crowded with shoppers everywhere
小题2:How did the author overcome his agony of waiting?
A.By reading books designed to be read in shortened words.
B.By arriving early for an appointment.
C.By taking measures to produce some books for readers.
D.By keeping most people away from the supermarket for some reasons.
小题3:Which of the following can't be carried in the author's pocket?
A.One Hundred Things Every American Should Know
B.The Poetry of Robert Frost
C.Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers
D.Homer and Ben Johnson
小题4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The author succeeded in changing his agony into fun.
B.The author was a bookish and lonely soul.
C.Six or seven employees in the store were busy in rushing about.
D.There were fewer customers in the supermarket on rainy days.
