  By choosing to let go of the past, we can sweep out all the ashes that weigh us down and affect every aspect of our health, our relationships, and our peace of mind.

  My friend Jean was divorced after a thirty-year marriage that produced three daughters, one son and eight grandchildren.Because she had actually raised them single-handedly, Jean was hurt and angry that the children didn’t take her part after the divorce.For months she refused to attend any family celebration to which her former husband Jim was also invited.When I reasoned that her children’s understanding of the relationship with and between the parents was probably altogether different from hers, she stuck to the belief that she was right.

  One day Jean called in tears.“Saturday is my granddaughter’s birthday, and I really want to be with her, but I can’t bring myself to face my former husband.”“Jim isn’t the problem,”I said gently,“its false pride.Instead of holding on to the painful past, which is over and done, let the feelings go and get on with your life.You’re depriving yourself of the joy of sharing in these important occasions, while Jim feels free to experience them.Tell me, would you rather be right, or be happy?”

  That must have done the trick because when Saturday arrived, Jean appeared at her daughter’s home carrying her famous chocolate-chip cookies and a beautiful birthday cake.

  How great it feels to let go!How energizing!And the more we practice the art of letting go of all negativity, the better able we become to devote our thoughts, our time, and our energy to living joyfully in the present, what ever age we happen to be.

Most people nowadays are persistently seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals. Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals.

Marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself! The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this.They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true. People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.

In every attempt you make, just think that marketing yourself is a very useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are. It simply means telling your prospective employer that you exist, that you have the possibility of generating much greater income than your prospective employer makes. Or maybe you have the chance of doing something better. There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself.But there are only two primary approaches that you implement(实施).The first is you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.

In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee.In that way your good reputation will follow naturally. Have a brief and concise(简明) message that you can share with others.When you market yourself, you tell people who you are and what you can do for others.Plan well and practice your message.

In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Bear in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself. You also communicate by what you are wearing.Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear. Just remember to make a great first impression!

 “Oh, thank you,” I must have  25  a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my   26  mood. It was kind of them to  27  me. After a while, I heard a small nervous   28  say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing   29  by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.”

 I gently tore at the paper and tape. “  31  ,” he said, “it’s breakable.” Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament(装饰物), complete with a hook already 32 . It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my   33  back.
 Later that day, I sat   34  the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I   35  pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.

He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family’s   cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
   On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch (鲈鱼)  with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵) and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.
  When his peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
  Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
  “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
  “Dad!” cried the boy.
  “There will be other fish,” said his father.
  “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.
  He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision was not negotiable(可协商的). He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.
  The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
  That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father’s cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
  And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics (道德规范).
【小题1】 Why did the father ask his son to put the perch back?

A.Because the father disliked the perch.
B.Because the father was afraid of being fined
C.Because the ethics must be obeyed.
D.Because the son was more experienced in fishing than his father.
【小题2】When does the architect (the father’s son) think of that perch put back?
A.When he takes his own and son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
B.When he builds many famous buildings.
C.When he pays a visit to his old father.
D.When he faces some problems about ethics.
【小题3】Which word can not be used to describe the boy’s father?
A.honestB.noble-mindedC.caringD.generous

One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world.
“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食) pigeons.
Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处)have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent£750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.
For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.
Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
【小题1】The first paragraph suggests that ________.

A.environment is crucial for wildlife
B.tour books are not always a reliable source of information
C.London is a city of fox  
D.foxes are highly adaptable to environment
【小题2】Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife is returning to the cities?
A.Food is plentiful in the cities.
B.Wildlife is appreciated in the cities.
C.Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities
D.Air and water quality has improved in the cities
【小题3】The underlined word “tallied” in Para. 2 means __________.
A.distinguished B.describedC.countedD.excluded
【小题4】It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A.Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos.
B.Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city
C.Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside
D.Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem
【小题5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Wildlife returning to large cities
B.Foxes returning to London
C.Wild animals living in zoos
D.A survey of wildlife in New York
