阅读理解。     My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would guess
at what I thought was the correct answer.
     When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
      She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
      Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (仔细
考虑) the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be
our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are
many people who are blind."
     Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was,"No, but you are getting
smarter every year, my child."
     Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me
when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important
body part yet, my dear?"
      I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She
saw the confusion (迷惑) on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have
really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is
your shoulder."
     I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?"
     She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs
a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you
will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
     Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is care to the pain of others. 1. What did his mother use to ask him? 
   ____________________________________________________________

阅读理解。     Life is short. Are you doing what you love? Are you living your passion? If not, why? I am guessing
most people will answer that question with "I have a loan, a lover and three kids to support". In the real
world people have responsibilities. They have to make sacrifices (牺牲). You aren"t supposed to be happy
with your job but you do it because you have to.
     With all due respect, they are wrong. You can take care of your responsibilities and be happy with your
job. We spend over 1/3 of our day, at least five days a week performing or jobs. This is a lot of time to be
wasted on something we don"t enjoy, isn"t it? Why not spend that time doing something you truly are
passionate about for 50 hours a week instead of something that lacks meaning?
      I think there is one main reason people don"t follow their passion: Fear. Fear of how others will react,
fear of failure, and fear that they can"t do it themselves. I think the first part is for people to realize that they
can conquer (战胜) their fear. You will fail at times and others will think you are crazy at times, but if you
believe that you will succeed then you finally will.
     I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now. But understand that
there are other people out there who have been through what you are going through and can help you. They
have failed, been ridiculed, and come out on the other end extremely successful. They are living proof that
you can do what you love. 1. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us ________. A. people always live a happy life
B. all people can have a job in the real world
C. people have responsibilities to do their jobs and to be happy
D. people are usually unhappy with their jobs but do them because they have to 2. The underlined phrase "are passionate about" means ________. A. are interested in
B. are proud of
C. find out
D. think about 3. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Responsibility
B. Enjoy Your Life
C. Love What You Do
D. Dreams Come True

阅读理解。     "Love your neighbor as yourself" is a saying familiar to most of us. It means that you must have the
ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others. Self-esteem
means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a worthwhile person who
is deserving of love and respect from others.
     Self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves. It is based on our judgment of ourselves,
not on other people"s assessment, but simply on our own. Our self-esteem is not dependent on our talent.
Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extraordinarily high achievers hold
low opinions of themselves.
     Self-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress management. Why? The first three sources of stress
are: predictable life event, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresses. These are much easier to handle
when we believe in ourselves. A positive, healthy self-esteem gives us the "hardiness (强健)" to deal with the
difficulties of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threats to be feared. 
     The forth category of stress is entirely the result of a low self-esteem. It is the category of stress that is
most common and tiring over the long run. This kind of stress cannot be overcome, or even changed, until
the self-esteem problems that cause it are corrected.
     Learning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stress. Self-esteem comes from the
self, and cannot be promoted by others. A person who feels that his self-esteem comes from the approval
of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct (自毁). One cannot keep the level of "performance"
required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a
facade that makes you popular with the world. When the applause is gone, there is nothing left. Only those
who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about that will survive the
stresses of life. Self-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living. 1. According to the writer, what is self-esteem? A. A kind of positive lifestyle.
B. The impression we have on other people.
C. The sense of how good we feel about ourselves.
D. Our understanding of how we are seen by others. 2. What can help people overcome difficulties according to the passage? A. Getting help from friends.
B. A positive, healthy self-esteem.
C. Learning to love yourself for who you are.
D. Removing yourself from stressful situation. 3. Why do people need to learn to love themselves? A. Because it can help them overcome stress.
B. Because they often meet difficulties.
C. Because they need to love their neighbors
D. Because it can make them popular with the world. 4. The writer wrote the article to ______. A. tell people how to overcome stress
B. help people form good relationship with others
C. show the importance of feeling good about yourself
D. provide the different methods to get a clear view of yourself

     Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life.
I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day.
There were happy days and sad days, some days the sun shone, and some days it didn"t. In my twenties, I
had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days I didn"t have much
time to think or to play. Every day I was busy and worked hard. I started to get some white hair. The
summer of my life passed quickly.
     Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student and then an
engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working, I retired.
I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us
delicious fruits.  
     But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not
have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.

     My vision (视力) is getting worse. I can"t even see what is five feet away from me without glasses.
我拒绝戴眼镜, though I know I need to. I"m afraid they will make me look ugly. Besides, I can do well
without them. These were my thoughts two years ago, when I was in the sixth grade. An embarrassing
experience taught me that what I was thinking was wrong.
    ②School has been out for two months. I was going to junior high school soon, where I was sure that
looks are everything. So the question still remained there. Should I, Or should I not, wear glasses? The
question was still in my mind when my family and I attended a wedding (婚礼) late in the summer.
    During the wedding, I drank too much juice. Soon after it ended, I walked quickly to the bathroom. Since
it was an emergency (紧急) and I couldn"t clearly see which door was ③marked boys. I just opened the
nearest door and entered the restroom.
     Unluckily, I had entered the wrong restroom. But I didn"t know this until I heard a scream (尖叫声) coming
from the entrance when I was washing my hands.
     After that, I decided to wear the ugly-looking glasses. I didn"t really ④care about what people thought of
me any more, because I never wanted to enter the wrong bathroom again.
     On the first day of seventh grade, ⑤my friends didn"t make fun of me. Instead they gave me compliments.
They thought the glasses made me look more cute and more natural.
     So if you know something is right, just do it. ⑥It doesn"t matter what others think of you. All that matters
is what you think of yourself-and that you can see where you are going!
