I think my started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried a(n) . I started asking people around me what they were doing, and if they were having trouble I to help. That was really a big for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my . Every time I came into her room, she was so because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never her, so I took her place. She let me that making others feel good makes me feel good, too. When she died, I was , but I was very grateful to her.

解析【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文, 主要叙述了作者从一个自私的女孩到关爱他人的人的转变过程及她从中所学到的道理。
【小题1】选B。逻辑推理题。根据本段第一句: “我过去是一个非常自私的人, 但在过去的两年里我真的变了。”此空处体现出的正是变化后的结果, 那就是先考虑别人, 再考虑自己。所以选before在……之前。since自从; or或者; unless除非。
【小题2】选C。逻辑推理题。根据in the past two years I have really changed可知作者现在正成为一个完全不同于过去的人。
【小题3】选D。词汇复现题。此处change正好对应着前面I have really changed。education教育; career职业, 生涯; tour旅行。
【小题4】选C。词语辨析题。结合前面when I was at Palomar College可知作者起初的目标应是获得学位(degree)。balance平衡; homework作业; interest兴趣。
【小题5】选A。逻辑推理题。作者认为自己比班里任何人都聪明, 所以从不和他们交谈(talk)。而write写信; lie说谎; report报告, 均不符合语境。
【小题6】选B。逻辑推理题。通过此空后面的It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. 可知, 直到这学期结束时, 作者很孤单(lonely)。careful仔细的; curious好奇的; guilty有罪的。
【小题7】选C。词语辨析题。面对现状, 作者尝试了一个实验(experiment)。argument争论, 辩论; game游戏; defence保卫, 防御。只有C项符合语境。
【小题8】选B。逻辑推理题。作者开始问周围的人他们在做什么, 他们是否有一些作者可以帮助解决的麻烦事。这里选offer(乐意, 主动提议)主要是结合作者现在要改变, 以前不关心别人, 现在从关心周围的人和事开始一句得出。而C项hesitate to do犹豫做; D项happen to do恰巧做, 不符合实际语境。
【小题9】选D。词语辨析题。这对于作者来说是一个很大的进步(step), 因为下面说到年末, 她已经交了一些朋友。A项dream梦想; B项problem问题; C项duty职责, 责任。
【小题10】选C。逻辑推理题。作者交了一些新朋友, 并且其中有两个现在还是她最好的朋友。通过后面的and这个并列连词, 可判断只能选them, 容易误选whom, 如果没有and, 可以看成是定语从句。
【小题11】选A。词汇复现题。作者之所以会有一个新的生活态度的另一个原因是她在护理之家从事兼职工作的时候出现的。此处的attitude呼应第一段中的change。
【小题12】选A。词语辨析题。结合下一句生病的老太太把作者当成她的女儿, 可知作者把老太太看成是她的朋友(friend)。partner伙伴; guide向导; guest客人。
【小题13】选B。逻辑推理题。老太太把作者当成了她的女儿, 所以见到她非常高兴(happy)。polite礼貌的; strange奇怪的; confident有信心的。
【小题14】选C。逻辑推理题。老太太的女儿从来不来看她, 作者就代替了她的女儿。bother打扰; answer回答; trust信任。
【小题15】选D。逻辑推理题。这个老太太使作者明白(see)了使别人感到愉悦也能使自己感到愉悦。A项explain解释; B项guess猜测; C项declare宣布。

【小题18】选A。词语辨析题。作者希望自己不会忘记这些经历。B项face面对; C项improve提高, 改进; D项analyze分析。
【小题19】选D。词语辨析题。这些经历教会(taught)作者要关心别人多于自己。force强迫; prefer宁愿; order命令。

Beware of those who use the truth to deceive(欺骗). When someone tells you something that is , but leaves out important information that should be , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big !
He didn’t say anything that was , but he deliberately left out some important . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically , but they are just as not .
Untrustworthy candidates in campaigns often use this tactic(手段). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, the state lost one million jobs and three million jobs. Then she another term. One of her opponents runs an ad , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of million jobs. ”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the . An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples. ”It to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with 26 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客).In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 27 .But what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 28 diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 29 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 30 that he does not want to 31 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 32 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 33 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 34 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 35 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 36 that my sister might read it.
The biggest 37 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 38 about him in my diary, he would never know. 39 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 40 her blog and get angry.
There are also 41 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would 42 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly 43 and tell her how much they 44 her. Blogs help people 45 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
