    Two friends visited the zoo together. The zoo was very large and it was   36  to go everywhere. They had to decide where and which animal to visit as their time was   37 . So both of them agreed not to   38  after choosing a   39  at every fork (岔路口).
    A road sign at the first fork   40  one way to the lion quarters and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the   41  after a   42  discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland”. The second showed a division (路口) going separately to the panda and peacock. They   43  panda as it was the nation’s treasure and went its way. Thus they made choices all along the way and each choice meant   44  what they could regret. But they had to make it  45 , for it brooked (容忍) no delay. If they hesitated they would miss  46 . Only   47  decision could offer more chances for sightseeing and   48  possible regret.
    Life is  49  like this—choices often occur that one has to make, for example, between two  50  jobs, two fascinating wooers (追求者). To get one you   51  give up the other—you can get half of it. If you   52  weighing the pros and cons(权衡利弊) and calculating gains and losses, you will most likely   53  empty-handedness. Don’t be sad about it.  54  you have got half of the desirable things in life—something that is   55  to get.

    How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it."
    Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
    I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
    Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
    Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
    If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
    小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.
    A．doesn’t need improvingB．couldn’t be improved
    C．will be better some dayD．will be worse in the future
    小题2: What does the author think of the woman’s life?
    A．PositiveB．PassiveC．ColorfulD．Disturbing
    小题3:Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?
    A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
    B．Your luck can be changed by your own efforts.
    C．You can only achieve success when God wills it.
    D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
    小题4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________.
    A．positive thinking B．positive action
    C．hope for the bestD．intention to succeed
    小题5: The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________.
    A．understand yourselfB．improve your life

    After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner.   36  woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made   37  impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to   38  her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you   39 ?”she asked. “I thought that it would be   40  to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it   41  moment, and agreed.

    We went to a restaurant that,   46  not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there   47  at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was   48  her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an)   49  conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
    A few days   50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do   51  for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note   52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the   53  dinner. I love you, Son.”
    At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your   54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be   55  till“some other time”.

    One day not too long ago the employees of a large company in St .Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: “Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to attend the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”
    At first everyone was sorry to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: “Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least he’s no longer here! ”One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is you.”
    You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

    I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.
    I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.
    I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor's front porches (门廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”
    I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.
    My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.
    This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply: Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.
    The Thank You card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”
    I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.
    小题1:How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?
    A．9.B．8C．10D．11
    小题2:Where did the friendly lady live?
    A．She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.
    B．Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.

    Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes mostly because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” or “I’ll be happy when I earn that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you want.
    This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”
    It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.
    Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.
    I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.
