A person may have a false idea about himself that will stop him from doing good work.

Alfred Alder, a famous doctor, had like this. When he was a small boy, he had a poor_ in math. His teacher told his parents he had no ability in math in order that they would not too much of him. In this way, his teacher and parents the idea. He their false judgment of his ability, feeling that it was useless to . Then, he was very poor at math, as they expected.
But one day everything changed. He worked out a problem which of the other students had been able to solve. He in solving the problem which gave him confidence. Soon he became especially good at .
Alder now with interest, determination and purpose. He not only proved that he could learn math well, but luckily he learned it , not too late. From his own experience, we can tell that if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may himself as well as others by his ability.

On the night of the party Merlin did as he had planned, rolling into the room playing his violin. Quite astonished，all present cast their eyes over him. Then, unexpectedly, came one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces.

When an NBA player is young, he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later ______ he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.
There is no better example of the value of ______ than the Boston Celtics.

Then, last season, they decided to play together, caring little ______ money and fame. Garnett and Allen ______ Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the best athletes in the world. They treat every second of every ______ as it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. Therefore, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their ______ effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and ______ defense（防卫）. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that _______. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost ______, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. ______, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to ______ their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still affect the game by cheering, so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have ______ a strong relationship. They are ______ just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, “A successful team beats with one ______.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

I made a pledge(发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew the kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom, ” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “do you know something I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…..that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago….. our doctor ….. did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me….. am I dying ?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just start to live.”
小题1:The writer thought he was a _______ husband in the past.| A．lovely | B．loyal | C．strict | D．selfish |
小题2: From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _______.| A．with his family | B．with Evelyn | C．alone | D．with his children |
小题3: The underlined words “one thing” in the text refer to the fact that _______.| A．he praised her sweater, which puzzled her | | B．she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated | | C．he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her | | D．he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying |

They say love can cover a lot of crimes; yet never have I seen it more beautifully showed than in the life of a dog named Jessie. Jessie came into our lives at the age of six months. By that time he had already experienced the hard knocks of life. He was found abandoned on the side of the road, where we adopted him and took him home.
From the beginning, it was obvious that Jessie was traumatized (受精神创伤的). He was afraid of everything: the car, the doors, the stairs, and just about everything else. We couldn’t foresee where Jessie’s fear would take us.
Jessie was with us for about six months, when we became foster parents to a mixed-breed young dog. Jessie did not like her at all. We all lived in a nervous co-existence, until dinnertime. Within moments a food fight erupted between Jessie and this foster child.
It all happened so fast, and I was in the middle. My husband managed to get in between the two dogs, grabbing Jessie by his collar. Jessie screamed all the way down the hall and into the bedroom. I, quickly put the foster dog into her own bedroom and hurried down the hall. The crashing I heard in the bedroom, scared me to death. But nothing prepared me for the scene I witnessed as I opened the bedroom door.
There was my husband, on top of a terrified Jessie, holding back his head. Blood dripped from my husband’s arm. To tell you the truth, as I was sitting beside my husband in the emergency room, I just didn’t know what to do with Jessie. I was so angry at that dog.
Day after day, week after week, however, my husband faithfully trained the dog that others would have put down. As his arm healed over the next months, something rare and beautiful began to take place. Jessie, under my husband’s gentle persuasion, began to understand and obey. And Jessie adored him. I could see, that although the tempest had ruled Jessie’s former life, affirmation and love had calmed the storm.
小题1:Before being adopted by the writer, Jessie had _______.| A．suffered a lot | | B．Lived a happy life | | C．lived on the road half a year | | D．often fought against other dogs |
小题2: Paragraph 2 shows that the writer was ________.| A．happy | B．disappointed | | C．angry | D．worried |
小题3:It can be inferred from the text that the writer’s husband’s arm bled because of _________.| A．his own behavior | | B．the writer’s fault | | C．Jessie’s bite | | D．The new foster dog |
小题4:What would be the best title for the text?| A．A Dog Named Jessie | | B．Love Calmed the Storm | | C．Conflicts Between Dogs | | D．Fights Between Man and Dog |
