Reading (A litter writen by her)
My dear,
"Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can"t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan"t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can"t concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don"t think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can"t fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can"t even write this properly. I can"t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can"t go on spoiling your life any longer.

核心考点
试题【Brief  IntroductionVirginia Woolf (née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941)】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl. Probably the story is one of those mysterious bits of folklore that reappear every few years. However, I still like to think that it really did happen, somewhere, sometime.
They were going to Fort Lauderdale-- three boys and three girls -- and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York vanished behind them.
As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, dressed in a plain ill-fitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot, frozen into complete silence.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson"s, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
¨We"re going to Florida," she said brightly. “I hear it"s really beautiful. "
"It is," he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.
“Want some wine?" she said. He thanked her and retreated again into his silence. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.
In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson"s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in jail in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.
¨Are you married?"
“I don"t know. "
“You don’t know?" she said.
“Well, when I was in jail I wrote to my wife," he said. ¨‘I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn"t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, she could just forget me. I"d understand. Get a new guy, I said - she"s a wonderful woman – and forget about me. I told her she didn"t have to write me. And she didn"t. Not for three and a half years. "
"And you"re going home now, not knowing?"
" Yeah," he said shyly. ‘‘Last week, when I was sure the parole was coming through, I wrote her again. There"s a big oak tree just as you come into town, I told her that if she didn"t have a new guy and if she"d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I"d get off and come home. If she didn"t want me, forget it - no handkerchief, and I"d go on through. "
"Wow," the girl exclaimed. "Wow. "
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.
Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment.
Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs —20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.
小题1:According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
A.The young people are travelling from Florida to New York.
B.Vingo was put in prison ten years ago, and now he was set free to go home.
C.The young people around Vingo were quite curious about his silence.
D.At last, Vingo went home together with the three boys and three girls.

B.Vingo was very disappointed because his wife didn"t answer his letter.
C.Vingo was very shy because he knew someone was watching him.
D.Vingo was excited because he could go home and meet his wife and children.

One day I decided to quit.I quitted my job, my relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the     to have one last talk with God. "Can you give me one good    not to quit?" His answer surprised me.
"Look around. Do you see the fern(蕨类植物) and the bamboo? When I planted their seeds, I took good care of them.The fern quickly grew from the earth.     nothing came from the bamboo seed. During the following three years, the fern grew more plentiful. And    , nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. Then in the fifth year a      sprout(新芽) emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was     small and insignificant. But just 6 months later the bamboo     to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing    . Those roots made it strong and gave it     it needed to survive.I wouldn’t give any of my creations a challenge it could not    .”
He said to me .”All this time you have been struggling , you have ___been growing roots . I would not quit on the bamboo.____will I ever quit on you .Don’t ____yourself with others .The bamboo had a different ____from the fern .Yet they both make the forest beautiful .Your time will ___ .You will rise high!”
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked     .
"As high as it can?" I    .
"Yes," He said. "Give me glory     rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and bring back this story. I hope it can help you see that God will never    on you. Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you happiness. Bad days give you   . Both are necessary to life.

I had been playing hockey(冰球)for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and      got into a game. I went to all the      and showed up even when it was so      that your ‘breath froze’ and when the other players had decided to stay home. I felt I had      enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to      the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on      my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise    , so think about yourself in a      way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,      my shot accuracy and changing my      . 
Once in a match, we     our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my      place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going    , I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little     .  But my mom’s words      out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my      work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the     to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had _____ me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s      has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I     myself.

At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers. While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn"t wait to be out in the world on my own. I had been looking forward to this chance for longer than I could remember. And once again, while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me. Sure, there were times when she’d nag (不断地唠叨)me about certain choices I made, but for the most part she did not stand in my way.
One big thing I realized during my senior year was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what"s important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her; she is the strongest woman I know and that"s why I have turned out so strong and independent.
