举一反三
A month after I graduated from high school in 2004,I was coming home from swim practice and was
involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at
Prince Georges Hospital.
I died eight times during my coma and I couldn"t talk or communicate when I woke up.Walking was
never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were
shattered (破灭)．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.
After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions,I had to learn how to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live
independently again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in
Waldorf,Maryland.After spending a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again,but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk,but run.
When it came true,I wanted to get back in the pool again.After a few lung tests,I was able to go in the
pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at St.Mary"s
College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story,I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live each day to
the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is.I
remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me around in my
wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families.I wanted to let
them know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow,things would work out for the best.

| To some people, happiness is something to do with simplicity, and it is the ability to extract pleasure from the simplest things-such as a peach stone (桃核). It is obvious that it has nothing to do with success. For Sir Henry Stewart, it was certainly successful. I remember some ten years ago when he was made King"s Counsel, Amos and I went to congratulate him. We smiled happi  ly; he merely looked as miserable as though he"d received a punishment. He took his success as a child does his medicine. And not one of his achievements brought even a sign of a smile to his tired eyes. I asked him one day what it was like to achieve all one"s ambitions. He looked down at his roses and went on watering them. Then he said, "The only value in achieving one"s ambitions is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving." Yesterday, I was passing his house and he called me, "Come and see, Jan. Look! I have done it at last! "There he was, holding a small box of earth in his hand. I observed three tiny shoots out of it. "And there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven. "Three what?" I asked. "Peach stones," he replied."I"ve always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since I was a child, when I used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. And I used to plant them, and then forgot where I planted them.But now at last I have done it. I had only three stones, and three shoots," he counted. Then Sir Henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity. | |||
| 1. From what fact could we see Sir Henry was successful? | |||
| A. He felt happy from the simplest things. B. He was made King"s Counsel. C. He was able to make the peach stones shoot. D. He didn"t take his success seriously. | |||
| 2. The author compares Sir Henry"s attitude towards his success to a child"s taking medicine________. | |||
| A. to show that Sir Henry felt miserable when he was promoted B. to prove that Sir Henry didn"t want to be successful C. to suggest that Sir Henry"s future job would be hard to do D. to tell us that Sir Henry took his success as a tiny thing in his life | |||
| 3. According to Sir Henry Stewart, the value in achieving one"s ambitions is________. | |||
| A. that he discovers it valueless B. that he finds it worth his efforts C. that he has achieved it D. that he fails to realize it | |||
| 4. The writer"s opinion about Sir Henry"s attitude towards success is________. | |||
| A. criticism B. disapproval C. admiration D. tease | |||
| A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40milezone, when a police car came behind him with the light on. 1.________ As the policeman came to him, he said, "Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit. I was in a rush to get home, to be with my wife and kids, you know my younger son wasn"t feeling well when I left home this morning." The policeman said, "Well, I guess so, " and started writing something in his notebook.2.________A few moments later, the policeman came to his window and handed him a paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man started to wonder, how much this ticket was going to be as he began to look at the paper.3.________ But something which read: "I had a daughter who was killed by a speeding car at the age of six, by a speeding driver like you. He got a fine, a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug two other daughters.4.________I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now.5.________." The man was very surprised and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, praying for forgiveness. A. So pray for you, and be careful when you drive again, your daughters all you have left. B. I only had one, and now I had to wait I go to heaven before I can hug her again. C. Right away the man started thinking of excuse to give. D. He was surprised it was not a ticket. E. So pray for me, and be careful when you drive again, my son is all I have left. F. As minutes went by, he hadn"t asked for his driver"s license. G. He was surprised it was not a ticket as he began to read. | |||
