One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel, Life seemed 36 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 37
for granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, however, he felt 39 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 40 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate（命运）played a cruel 42 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 43 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy. He began to 44 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 45 . Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated（带插图的）books.
According to Jimmy, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 48 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 49 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 50 .
Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the“small people”in Jimmy’s books—if we make choices that are 52 for us.
In spite of his new 53 and wealth, Jimmy prefers working 54 at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his mornings drawing. To Jimmy, living a life as he chooses means much more than money and fame could 55 .

36 根据上一句话可知，Jimmy Liao这位著名的画家哭泣的原因是他得了癌症，生命似乎对他不公平。
37 此处是拿平常人对待健康的态度与 Jimmy Liao现在的情况形成对比。take …for granted认为……是理所当然的。
38 本句为一个省略句，used to do…过去……。used to后省略了take his health for granted。 就像他过去认为健康是理所当然的事情那样。
39 根据后面的一句解释可知答案。
40 下文提到 Jimmy Liao 为一画家，画家只能通过的自己绘画来表达自己的思想。
41 work著作，作品。
42 play a trick on somebody捉弄， 戏弄某人。
43 根据句意可知，Jimmy Liao 这时得了癌症，不能继续工作。
44 本句为一个同位语从句，结合前面一句可知，Jimmy得了癌症，但他在宾馆里哭泣的那一刻也明白了人生并没有命运，而是看你如何做出选择。空格上如果填face或refuse，fact引导的同位语从句应改为他得病这个事实。
45 下文提到虽然生命对你不公，但你的选择可以改变你的生活。因此，人生没有命运，只看你如何选择。
46 本句为一表语从句，从从句中所缺成分可排除A项；根据后一句话，你可以放弃，也可以继续工作成为一个快乐的人可知本句意思是你选择什么样的生活，你就能成为什么样的人。
47 人生路上不可能总会遇到风雨。
48 根据Jimmy在书中所表达的观点可知他的这种看法可以在他的书中找到。
49 人遇到困难，在做出选择前都会感到茫然无助。
50 Jimmy对待癌症，选择了继续工作来充实自己。因此，他对生命充满了希望，这一点在他的绘画中也可表现出来。
51 尽管世界让我们感到自己很渺小，但我们也应该勇敢，坚强。Jimmy在面对疾病时所表现出的正是这个特征。great伟大的；strong 强壮的；equal平等的。
52 上文提到在面对疾病时，可以放弃也可以继续工作，关键看你选择什么。本句是回答这个问题：只要你做出正确的选择，生命就会充满希望。
53 Jimmy 原本是一名成功的画家，得病之后又继续工作，又赢得了新的名誉和财富。
54 根据Jimmy所患疾病可排除A项，slowly 只强调动作，不符语意；separately与下文with his wife and daughter矛盾。
55 过自己想过的生活比金钱和荣耀所能提供的东西要有意义的多。

As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, "Not to be touched!"
I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
"I, uh-I want to climb the stone walls," I said. Everyone looked up. "Can I climb the stone walls? "Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. "Heavens, no!" You'll hurt yourself!" I wasn't too disappointed; the response was just as I'd expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. "Now hold on just a minute," I heard him say. "Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself."
"Go," he said to me, "and come and see me when you get back." For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls -and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I'll never forget what he said. "Fred," he said, smiling, "You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are."
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. "There's only one person in this whole world like you," the kids can count on hearing me say, "and people can like you exactly as you are.”

For years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.
I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no-frills budget.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on — and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: “IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin.”
Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis (棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me.
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes — every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!
1．By saying “Do you see a money tree outside .….,” the mother actually means “_______”
A．Observation is the best teacher. B．Seeing is believing.
C．The outsider sees the most of the game. D．It is not easy to gain money
2．The best title for the passage would probably be_______.
A．My flower garden B．Marvin helps to realize my dream
C．Love in Michigan D．Money grows on trees
3．The underlined word “no - frills” in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to_______.
A．wasteful B．tight C．absurd D．helpful
4．From the last two paragraphs we can infer that the mother is_______
A．divorced when she was young
B．not caring for her kids any longer
C．alone but not at all lonely
D．prouder with her garden than with her kids.

A very old tree had been growing quite slowly for many years. It was nearly the 1 tree in the forest, and it raised its head high above the 2 trees towards the sky like a king of trees.
One spring day, the wind brought a little seed and dropped it 3 the roots of the tree. Soon it grew into a plant. “I’ll climb to the top of the tree,” said 4 little plant. “They’ll see how quickly I can grow.” So it held tightly to the tree, climbed and climbed 5 it climbed up to the top branch. It said to the tree, “You have grown for a great many years, and I only began this summer – see 6 high I have got!”
But the old tree just said nothing at all. Later, a great storm came, bringing snow and heavy winds. The old tree didn’t mind the cold at all, but the poor little plant had grown so fast 7 it had forgotten to grow well. 8 that cold night it fell onto the ground. And that was the end of the little plant.
