         It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for "Six days shall you labor and do all your work"
    was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood.
    Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
    Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites.Now, even at the risk of having
    Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there
    was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
         My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she
    cast a look toward the window. "Come on, girls! Let's take string to the boys and watch them fly the
    kites a minute."
         On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together
    with her girls.
         There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys' kites and
    they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orangecolored spots of the kites. Now
    and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally
    bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
         Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like
    schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children
    forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. "Perhaps it's like this in the kingdom of heaven," I
    thought confusedly.
         It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort
    of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidyingup, for the house on Sunday looked clean
    and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward. I felt a little
    embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that
    deepest part of me where we keep "the things that cannot be and yet they are".
         The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get
    some work out of the way while my threeyearold insistently cried her desire to "go park, see duck."
         "I can't go!" I said. "I have this and this to do, and when I'm through I'll be too tired to walk that far."
         My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling."It's a wonderful day,"she
    offered, "really warm, yet there's a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?"
         I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of
    memories. "Come on," I told my little girl. "You're right, it's too good a day to miss."
         Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been
    asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He
    had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of-what dark and
    horrible things?
          "Say!" A smile slipped out from his lips."Do you remember -no, of course you wouldn't. It probably
    didn't make the impression on you as it did on me."
         I hardly dared speak."Remember what?"
         "I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things weren't too good. Do you
    remember the day we flew the kites?"
    1. Mrs.Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought ________.
    A. she was too old to fly kites
    B. her husband would make fun of her
    C. she should have been doing her housework then
    D. her girls weren't supposed to play the boy's game
    2. By "we were all beside ourselves",  the writer means that they all ________.
    A. felt confused  
    B. went wild with joy
    C. looked on  
    D. forgot their fights
    3. What did the writer think after the kiteflying?
    A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.
    B. They should have finished their work before playing.
    C. Her parents should spend more time with them.
    D. All the others must have forgotten that day.
    4. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?
    A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.
    B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.
    C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.
    D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.

    　　I was lucky－I found what I loved to do early in life．Woz and I started Apple in my parents'garage when I was 20．We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees．We had just released our finest creation－the Macintosh－a year earlier，and I had just turned 30．And then I got fired．

    　　How can you get fired from a company you started?Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well．But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out．When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him．So at 30 I was out．

    　　I really didn't know what to do for a few months．I felt I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley．But something slowly began to dawn on me－I still loved what I did．The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit．I had been rejected, but I was still in love．And so I decided to start over．

    　　I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me．It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life．During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife．Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world．In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and Laurene and I have a wonderful family together．

    　　I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple．It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it．Sometimes life hits you on the head with a brick．Don't lose faith．I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did．You've got to find what you love．And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers．

    　　It was the first night of Chanukah(光明节)and the night before Ellie' s last final examination．As a freshman she was more than ready to go home for the first time since August．She' d packed every thing she needed to take home except the 8 candles that are lit every night of Chanukah．Ellie had been so tempted to pack the menorah(烛台)earlier and "pass over" the first night' s lighting．However, Ellie ended up lighting the candles, said the blessings, placed the menorah on her window and spent the rest of the evening in her room studying．

    　　Ellie’s first winter holiday was uneventful, and when she returned to her dormitory on the day before classes started she was surprised to find a small note on her door．"Thank you," the note said．It was signed "Susan．" It was dated the day that Ellie had left after finals．Ellie was totally confused．She didn't know a Susan．Believing that the letter had been delivered to her by mistake, Ellie put the note on her desk and forgot about it．

    　　About half an hour before she was getting ready to head out for dinner, there was a knock at Ellie s door．There, standing in the hall was a woman Ellie didn't recognize．"I'm Susan," she said．I wanted to thank you in person but you' d already left before I finished my finals．

    　　"Are you sure it's me you' re looking for?" asked Ellie．Susan asked if she could come in and explain．

    　　It seemed that Susan had been facing the same dilemma that Ellie had been that first night of Chanukah．She really didn't want to light her candles either．Not because she was packing or was heading home, but because her older sister Hannah had been killed by a drunk driver ten months earlier, and this was the first year that she' d have to light the candles alone．The sisters had always taken turns lighting the first candle and this wasn't Susan' s year．She just couldn't bring herself to take her sister's place, it was just too painful to even think about Chanukah without Hannah and she had decided to pass over the entire holiday．

    　　Susan said that she had just finished studying and was closing her window when she happened to glance across the courtyard and saw the candles shining in Ellie’s window．"I started to cry．It was if Hannah had taken her turn and put the candles in your window for me to see．" All Susan had to do was close her eyes and remember the candles in the window, the ones that Hannah had lit the last time it was her turn．

    (1)

    On the first night of Chanukah, Ellie ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    was anxious to go home

    when she returned to her school

    D．

    after she learnt her friend's sad story

    (3)

    [　　]

    A．

    she was too painful to do it

    C．

         Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this
    from a musical soul.
         The other day I was feeling quite   1  , having just been laid off from my job. With so many   2

    I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the   3  . I walked a
    bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the   4   I saw a young lady sitting at
    a piano with a box next to her.
         She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice   5   me a bit. Then I stood there watching
    her playing, thinking that it must take   6   to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she
    didn't know.
         She might have felt my   7   for she occasionally looked in my direction.
    By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked   8   and put
    some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
         I asked her   9  , "Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?"
         She explained to me that she sees so many   10   people in the world that she is trying to relieve the

         Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, "I have been going through a   12   time lately, but

    looked me in the eyes and went on, "Don't look defeated, because   17   comes in different ways and
    if your head is down you might never see it. You should   18   more …lift your head up."
    I was really   19   by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
