Albert Einstein was 2 to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to 3 . I should give up on it and settle for something else.” 4 , he wrote the two most famous papers while 5 as a patent office worker. After the 6 , there was not any major ‎7 in the world that would not ‎ have wanted him to work for them.‎ If you want to work as an artist and are 8 as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who 9 one day to become an artist. That puts the 10 you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think yourself as 11 , supporting yourself by waiting tables and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is 12 to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That 13 plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft in the 14 hours.‎ While seeking the work you love, 15 helps to expand your awareness into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be 16 the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened 17 the possibilities, you can make a final 18 and select the work you love as your own.‎ Doing the work you love 19 that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the 20 .

Week by week her list 2 : I was skinny, I wasn’t a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so ‎ on. I 3 her as long as I could. At last, with great anger, I ran to my father 4 . ‎ ‎ He listened to my outburst 5 . Then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not?”‎ ‎ True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did 6 have to do with it?‎ ‎ “Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really 7 ? Well, you now have that girl’s 8 . Go and make a list of everything she said and 9 the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”‎ ‎ I did as he directed and discovered to my 10 that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being skinny), 11 number I could and suddenly wanted to 12 . ‎ ‎ For the first time in my life I got a fairly 13 picture of myself. ‎ ‎ I bought the 14 back to Daddy. He refused to take it. ‎ ‎ “That’s just for 15 ,” he said. “You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, 16 you hear it. But you’ve got to learn 17 , not to close your ears 18 or hurt.

I was very 2 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 3 interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it 4 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 5 , I would become more mature(成熟) and 6 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.‎ Like many 7 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they ‎ ‎8 a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 9 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 10 for me. In the end, my father won the 11 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 12 through the country who could 13 shelter and help if I need them.‎ Three years later, my younger brother decide to ‎14 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not 15 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 16 year working his way on trains and ships to 17 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.‎ These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 18 . Most parents start 19 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have 20 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.‎ ‎1．A．taught B．allowed C．treated D．hired ‎2．A．anxious B．content C．proud D．hopeful ‎3．A．never B．ever C．always D．even ‎4．A．quickly B．foolishly C．seriously D．honesty ‎5．A．work B．mistakes C．others D．books ‎6．A．strict B．reasonable C．polite D．responsible ‎7．A．American B．Japanese C．Chinese D．British ‎8．A．helped B．supported C．shared D．worried ‎9．A．Asia B．Africa C．Europe D．Oceania ‎10．A．journey B．experience C．chance D．possibility ‎11．A．argument B．game C．discussion D．plan ‎12．A．send out B．give out C．carry out D．spread out ‎13．A．promise B．afford C．provide D．serve ‎14．A．leave B．make C．take D．prepare ‎15．A．angry B．eager C．sorry D．sad ‎16．A．unusual B．hard C．strange D．busy ‎17．A．accept B．earn C．find D．search ‎18．A．welcome B．fit C．necessary D．common ‎19．A．bringing B．forcing C．pushing D．protecting ‎20．A．selected B．admired C．afforded D．left 十四 The beginning of a Frank Sinatra song drifted across the dance floor and I knew my dad would call out and request that , which for most people is very 1 .‎ ‎ As he walked towards me to ask for the first 2 ,I could see there were ‎3 in his ‎ eyes .I grasped the side of my chair, 4 myself up with my arms ,and grabbed the two metal sticks which keep me 5 as I stood to take his hand.‎ ‎ It took all my will to 6 my own tears and inside a voice kept 7 : “Don’t fall over ,Martine.” We grabbed each other and in some way shuffled（穿梭）out a dance for the whole of the song.‎ ‎ For my dad ,it was a turning point.

But to me, beauty is not only 4 that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the 5 . I think true beauty makes you see 6 the lovely sight.

Do you know what would happen to the world if there were no typhoon?”I shook my head. I had no 4 of how overwhelming（势不可挡）it was when it 5 everything away in its way.‎ ‎ “Well, let me tell you,”the meteorologist said.“Without it the 6 of fresh water will be more serious, for it is a great 7 of water supply on earth, Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution of 8 .

Not long ago I had one that I would like to 1 .‎ I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at ‎85 mph 2 we realized we were 3 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand – new (崭新) $20 bill. I was so 4 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 5 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 6 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 7 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier (收银员). I had just 8 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.‎ My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed (吞噬) me in one big bite. I couldn’t 9 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 10 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset (不安) that I 11 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 12 that someone would say “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the 13 from the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 14 of my cash now.‎ For the next two years, whenever I was 15 of the “Pizza incident”, I would say to myself “Don’t think about it.”‎ I have learned two things from this 16 . Maybe I was a fool for ‎17 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 18 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 19 up with you.‎ This reflects the saying “A coward (儒夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “ ‎20 ”‎ and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.‎ ‎1．A．say B．talk C．share D．explain ‎2．A．as B．then C．while D．when ‎3．A．lost B．tired C．hungry D．anxious ‎4．A．excited B．eager C．satisfied D．encouraged ‎5．A．rest B．food C．travel D．drink ‎6．A．Luckily B．Finally C．Immediately D．Actually ‎7．A．thought B．recognized C．noticed D．realized ‎8．A．walked B．left C．worked D．found ‎9．A．look B．get C．turn D．think ‎10．A．ask B．pay C．apologize D．send ‎11．A．refused B．wanted C．hoped D．meant ‎12．A．hope B．surprise C．anger D．fear ‎13．A．food B．lesson C．conscience D．change ‎14．A．sure B．upset C．proud D．pleased ‎15．A．warned B．reminded C．thought D．told ‎16．A．experience B．experiment C．story D．mistake ‎17．A．turning B．talking C．handing D．giving ‎18．A．free B．cheap C．plain D．delicious ‎19．A．make B．wake C．catch D．put ‎20．A．coward B．fool C．loser D．hero 二十五 When I first came to the USA, I made friends with a neighbour who used to live only two blocks away from my street. We used to visit each other and go out together sometimes. This friend taught me a lot about American 1 , but in some cases I had to learn the 2 way, because we didn’t have enough time together for me to learn all about American culture from him.‎ One day this same friend invited me to a party. It wasn’t a(n) 3 party, only some kind of informal get-together. Since it was 4 time, we had a cookout, 5 most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before.‎ It was the most 6 party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts for the day, 7 I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party. It was hard to explain my embarrassment（窘迫）to the other 8 . when one of them turned around and said, “What nice clothes! What’s the occasion?” I felt my 9 burning hot. I didn’t 10 at all. If she knew how 11 I already felt, she wouldn’t have said that to me. ‎ Maybe she didn’t 12 to make me feel uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt. ‎ Many times I thought of going home and 13 but I knew they would 14 . It would be even 15 for me because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of 16 . So I wanted to pretend that I was 17 .‎ I have already realized their 18 are different from mine.

Now, however, doctors have begun to 2 laughter and the 3 it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can 4 people’s health.‎ Tests were 5 to study the effects of laughter on the body. People 6 funny films ‎7 doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that ‎ laughter has similar effects to 8 exercise. It 9 blood pressure, the heart beat ‎ and breathing; it also 10 several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the ‎ feet. If laughter 11 the body, it must be beneficial.‎ Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to 12 the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors 13 pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that 14 the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why 15 can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both 16 and pain.‎ As a 17 of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by 18 them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce 19 effects 20 to those caused by laughter.‎ ‎1．A．seriously B．truly C．sincerely D．commonly ‎2．A．see into B．see through C．look into D．look up ‎3．A．harm B．strength C．effect D．good ‎4．A．help B．improve C．increase D．damage ‎5．A．carried away B．carried off C．carried out D．carried up ‎6．A．observed B．noticed C．saw D．watched ‎ ‎7．A．if B．but C．while D．since ‎8．A．mentality B．physical C．practical D．critical ‎9．A．slows B．decreases C．promotes D．increases ‎ ‎10．A．works B．runs C．relaxes D．operates ‎11．A．affects B．moves C．exercises D．drills ‎12．A．reduce B．put C．reproduce D．conduct ‎13．A．stopped B．produced C．started D．cut ‎14．A．refused B．suffered C．accepted D．tolerated.‎ ‎15．A．sleep B．cry C．calmness D．laughter ‎ ‎16．A．pleasure B．stress C．happiness D．concentration ‎17．A．fact B．matter C．result D．sign ‎18．A．encouraging B．allowing C．permitting D．forbidding ‎19．A．different B．beneficial C．effective D．harmful ‎20．A．strange B．enough C．familiar D．similar ‎ 二十七 If You’re Not Dead, You Can Get Better Randy Kraus was paralyzed（瘫痪）. His left side was useless. But his right hand was 1 enough to lift a bucket to his forehead. Once, he’d been a police officer and owned a private-eye agency. Once, he’d been strong and able. Now, he felt he was nothing.‎ His 2 started with Parkinson’s（帖金森）disease, but it didn’t 3 there. In July 2002, the 60-year-old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation to control the shaking. 4 , during the operation, he had a stroke（中风）. He was paralyzed. The 5 man, who loved golf, could think, but couldn’t 6 . Kraus wanted the doctors to 7 it to him straight. “You may never walk again,” they told him. “Maybe you won’t 8 be able to talk.”‎ Once home, he 9 he couldn’t lift a fork or take a drink by himself. Physical treatment was so painful and slow. What did he have to 10 for? So now Kraus held the gun against his head. 11 the cold metal on his skin, he began to consider not his pain, but the pain he 12 cause his wife, daughters and grandchildren. He didn’t pull the trigger（扳机）.‎ ‎“You are where you are”, his exercise physiologist（生理学者）, Andrew Garud told him. “The pace（进度）would be slow; the pain would be 13 . But as long as you are 14 , you have the ability to get better.” After three months of 15 with Garud, Kraus wanted to see if he could 16 . He could. Then he took three steps, sat down and cried like a baby. One step 17 to another. Next he managed a short walk. It was the hardest 18 of Kraus’s life. ‎ Garud kept saying he could 19 more. Now, Kraus can brush his teeth, shave himself and get around the house with a walker.

Take nose. A nose is really just a lump of 1 with air holes in it. It allows you to breathe and 2 ; it also helps protect your eyes. That’s 3 it is for. Yet for some reason, we have decided, as a 4 , that if these pieces of flesh have a certain shape, they are attractive; but lumps that do not have that shape— 5 they work just as well – are called 6 . The same is true for eyes, ears, mouths, hairs, teeth, 7 , hands, feet and all the other body parts. For many of us, how well these body parts do their jobs is 8 important; what matters most is 9 closely the parts come into being whatever shape and size is considered to be beautiful in our culture. We spend huge 10 of money trying to change ourselves, to make us look 11 like ourselves, and more like the 12 .‎ Men certainly have lower standards to meet when it 13 to beauty. A man can 14 his hair, or to have bad skin or a big nose and still can be considered attractive. There is a 15 standard for males of course: male models with big 16 . These men are considered beautiful, and regular men cannot hope to look like them. But regular men CAN look at them and say, “I don’t look 17 different.”‎ Regular women 18 look at female movie stars or models and say this. It is not enough for a woman to have good skin and pretty face: beautiful women, as has been decided, must also be very 19 , and they must have no more body 20 than a pencil.

He is ten and I am 69, so you can see we both qualify as ‎ 1 citizens.‎ Years ago, I promised myself that when I retired I’d get a poodle(卷毛狗) to share my 2 ‎ years. From the very first, Cocoa has always been 3 . I never have to tell him anything more than once. He is extremely neat, for he always puts his toys back when 4 . I’m accused of being neat, and sometimes I wonder if he 5 me or if he was born that way. We play games together happily. He does something amusing that makes me laugh. When that happens, he is 6 ‎ delighted he just keeps it up. I enjoy his 7 immensely.‎ ‎ But one afternoon two years ago, Cocoa started 8 strangely. I was sitting on the floor playing with him 9 he started pawing(抓) at the right side of my chest. He had never done that ever before. With Cocoa, one “no” is usually 10 , but not that day. He suddenly ran to me from the other side of the room, 11 his entire weight—eighteen pounds—at the right side of my chest. He 12 into me and I screamed in pain. It hurt more than supposed.‎ Soon after this, I felt a lump(肿块). After X—rays and tests. I was 13 cancer. When cancer starts, for an unknown reason, a calcium wall builds. Then the lump 14 itself to this wall. When Cocoa jumped on me, the force of the impact 15 the lump away from the calcium wall. This made it possible for me to notice the lump and I went to the hospitals immediately. Thanks to the early 16 , the cancer hasn’t spread to 17 part of my body. The doctors told me if the cancer had gone undetected even six more months, it would have been too late.‎ Was Cocoa 48 of his doing? I’ll never really know its 49 .
