阅读理解。     We do some strange things when we don"t like the way our life is going. Too often we blame(埋怨)
someone else.
     "I wish my parents were more understanding."
     "I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!"
     "My friends are so boring and self-centred. They make my life worse and worse."
     Blame! Blame! Blame!
     It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don"t like your life, you should do
something about it. No one else knows exactly how  you feel or what you need.  No one can read your
mind correctly. You are the only one with the  power(能力) to  check your life, and if you want it to be
different, you can change what you"re doing. This means asking.. "What do I need? What do I want to
do?" instead of trying to meet others"  needs. For example,  try  to  decide how you want to spend your
evening instead of asking somebody else for advice. We teach other people how we want to be treated.
If we don"t think of our own needs, no one else will either.
     When you"re in trouble, don"t give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose
how you want to think and act(行动). Other people can"t make you unhappy or angry. They only act in
their own way and then it"s up to you to decide how you will respond(回应). For example, your friends
go out to lunch withou t you.  You feel angry.  How are you going to act?  You may blame your friends.
"They"re not kind. Who needs  them anyway?"  or  you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their
explanation(解释), and let them know you"d like to be invited next time.
     When you decide everything in your own way,  you"re  getting  hold  of your own life and shaping it
according  to  your tastes  and feelings.  You can  choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an
interesting life. When you blame others for what is  or  isn"t  happening  in  your life,  you have stopped
growing or learning.
     One of the most important rules is that  you  can  never  change another person by your direct action.
The only person you have the right and power to change is yourself. Once you change, the other person
then has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you  want change in your life, begin
with yourself...put love into your power to take action.1.What should we do if we don"t like our life?A.Sing that self-pitying song.
B.Read our minds correctly.
C.Change what we"re doing.
D.Tell others what we want.2.If the writer"s friends have dinner together without him, he may ________.A.forget it and be still friendly with them
B.talk to them and try to find out why
C.do the same thing to them in return
D.ask somebody else to talk to them3.What"s the writer"s idea about how to change others?A.He thinks it"s impossible to change others.
B.He believes our love can change everything.
C.He chooses to talk with others directly.
D.He prefers to change ourselves first instead.4.How many points of view(观点)are mentioned in the passage?A.Three.
B.Four.

     "When you start to talk about responsibility(责任), I thought of a time in my life when I didn"t want to
accept(承担)responsibility for anything," Elena said. "It was one of the most   1   times of my life. I don"t
know   2  , but I just felt like I had no control over anything. Part of the problem was that I was     3        
very unsure of myself."
     "I started going around with a group of children who were always in   4           . I guess all of us were
unsure, but nobody talked about it.  Some  of   the  children were taking drugs(毒品), so I had to prove
(证明)how cool I was and   5             them too. I started staying out late, not doing my homework, and
arguing with my   6         a lot. And if they tried to talk with me about what was wrong, I"d tell them they
didn"t understand me.   7         I didn"t feel that the children I stayed with understood me either. Most of
them   8   listened to music all the time and didn"t talk much."
     "I was really going downhill until an old friend visited me from Toronto-we were the best friends, but
she moved away two years ago. We could talk about   9  . She really understood me and looked at me
and said, "Elena, what is wrong with you? You"ve   10       so much, and I don"t like that!" She really felt
worried about me. I began to know I had    11     taking responsibility for my life. That group of children
decided what I should do, but I know they didn"t really care     12    me at all."

     Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family,
 health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is
  a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
     But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these,
 they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in
 your life. How?
     Don"t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and
 each of us is special.
     Don"t let other people set goals for you. Only know what is best for yourself.
     Don"t give up when you still have something to give. (3)Nothing is really over until the moment you stop
  trying.
     Don"t be afraid to fight difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
     Don"t shut love out of your life by saying it"s impossible. (4) The quickest way to receive love is to give
  it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it
 wings.
     Don"t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you"ve been, but also where you are going.
     Don"t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It"s a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
     Don"t use time or words carelessly. You can"t get them back.
     Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
     Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift: that"s why we call it "the
 present".
