A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I’ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband’s eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?
1.Why were there tears in the husband’s eyes when the wife read his annoyances?
A. Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.
B. Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife’s eyes.
C. Because he was sorry that he didn’t find any annoyance about his wife.
D. Because he didn’t think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.
2.After hearing the husband’s words, the wife felt _________.
A. moved and ashamed
B. sad and disappointed
C. satisfied and proud
D. surprised and confused
3.The story is intended to tell us that ___________.
A. disappointment cannot be avoided in our life
B. young couples should be more tolerant (宽容的) to each other
C. we should turn a blind eye to other people’s blame
D. we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around us
1.B
2.A
3.D

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents . They say their parents don’t understand them .They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways , that they are too serious(严肃) — too strict with their children and that they seldom give their children a free hand . It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust(信任) and they often forget how they themselves felt when they were young .
For example , young people like to act on the spot without much thinking . It is one of their ways to show they have grown up and that they can face any difficult situation . However , older people worry more easily . Most of old people plan things ahead , at least in the back of their minds , and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected .
When you want your parents to let you do something , you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it .
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes and in music . But they do not want to cause any trouble ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world , into which they have not yet been accepted . That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own . And if their parents do not like their music or hairstyle or clothes or their ways of speech , this will make the young people very happy .
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do . All you want is to be left alone and do what you like . It is natural enough , after being a child for so many years , when you were completely under your parents’ control .
If you plan to control your life , you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand
you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do .
1.Whom is this text written for ?
A. Parents
B. Both parents and their children
C. Young people
D. Teachers
2.The underlined expression “on the spot ” means ______ .
A. at the place where something happened.
B. by oneself
C. immediately
D. angrily
3. According to the text , young people usually ______ .
A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything
B. do things without thinking carefully ahead
C. are very strict with themselves
D. think in the same way as their parents do
4. Why do young people like to have clothes and music in their own way ?
A. Because they want to make their parents angry .
B. Because they try to get their parents into trouble .
C. Because they want to try something new and look different from the older people .
D. Because they know they are cleverer than the older people .

Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The park was full of beauty of spring, with the sun shining and birds sing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught their eyes. A young couple in a boat was eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. Which is worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, total ignoring the noticeable sign “No Littering” nearby. What shame!
Such behavior leaves me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did so, the lake will be severely polluted or soon turned into a huge dustbin.
