    Growing up, I knew I was different. My father had left and he never came back. As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks. I feared being alone, unwanted, unpopular, and unloved.
    My first attack came in a ninth-grade class: The teacher asked me to walk in front of the class, but I couldn't do it- I was soaked in sweat, shaking. My symptoms began every morning from the moment when I stepped inside the school building.
    Throughout my childhood, I was no stranger to the doctor's office. My mother tried everything she could in hope of a breakthrough. There were times I thought suicide could be the only way to make the pain stop.
    By age 16, I had shut down socially. Most of my peers were going to parties, playing sports, and dating. But I was a prisoner in my own home.
    Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article. Freddie Prinze, Jr. was on the cover. The article detailed the pain of losing his father at a young age. I felt as though I were reading my own life story. The only difference? He was now a success.
    That article inspired me to explore a new treatment option for myself. I wanted to turn my life around as well. So I hit the library and the Internet, and I began to realize how my negative thoughts controlled my physical well-being.
    Immediately, I made a plan to take charge of my life. Shortly after following the items I had listed, I was able to stop seeing a therapist. I never returned to high school, but I did go to college. After graduation, I pursued a career in television news. My relationships have changed for the better, too. I've made new friends and reconnected with many from my past
    The anxiety isn't completely gone, but whenever it returns, I know the feeling will pass, and know I have the power to change my life, only if I will give myself a chance.
    小题1:The writer's anxiety attacks were mainly caused by         .
    A．the high school which he attendedB．the teacher who asked him to walk
    C．the writer himself who was fearfulD．the father who left in his childhood
    小题2:The breakthrough of the writer's treatment came when________.
    A．the mother took him to the doctorB．the writer read a magazine article
    C．the writer's pain finally stoppedD．the writer went to college
    小题3:What did the writer do after following the plan?
    A．He went to see therapists.B．He returned to high school.
    C．He contacted his old friends.D．He didn't suffer any attacks.
    小题4:The writer wrote this story to tell us________.
    A．anxiety attacks are not lasting if we have proper treatment
    B．we shouldn't keep ourselves away from the outside world
    C．we can change our lives if we give ourselves a chance
    D．fathers are not supposed to abandon their small kids

    There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee, the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
    The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.
    　　Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
    “Good,” said the professor, “ and how much will you give the patient?”
    “A full spoon”, answered the student.
    “Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”
    “I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.
    小题1:The students were afraid of the professor because_________.
    A．they often angered and disappointed him
    B．their answers often astonished him
    C．their answers seldom satisfied him
    D．he often misunderstood(误解) them and give them bad marks
    小题2:The student’s description of the illness was _____.
    A．not correctB．not satisfiedC．completely discouragingD．accepted.

    B．his last answer was satisfying
    C．he had made a mistake
    D．he had not done well in the exam.
    小题4:Which of the following is Not true?
    A．The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a full spoon.
    B．The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon.
    C．Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time.
    D．If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five drops at a time.
    小题5:Which guess is the most reasonable from the passage?
    A．The student must have passed the exam.
    B．The student may not have passed the exam.
    C．The student must have been very happy when he heard, “Your patient has died.”

    Someone telephoned me today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
    But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
    Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
    Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favorite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know I’ll have many more chances in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

    B．Her family is too poor to buy enough food.
    C．She has a babysitter taking care of her twins.
    D．Her family lives not far from a church.

    Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: Things aren’t always what they seem.
    The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
    The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
    “Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed，the angel of death(死神) came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”

    小题3:Why did the older angel let the farmer’s cow die?
    A．Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
    B．Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.
    C．Because she was sympathetic to the rich.
