完形填空      Cheerful Charlie was a very special boy. When he was still in his mother"s tummy (肚子), she had
had an accident, which   1   that Charlie couldn"t walk. But that had never been a(n)   2   for him; he had
always been happy. When he became older, they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his
joyful and   3   nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.
     There wasn"t a postman, or a taxi driver who wasn"t   4   to see Charlie. "Cheer up, Mr. Postman,
that way you"ll   5   more letters today!" he would say, or "That was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You   6   that
thing better than anyone else." He also had great ideas and   7   for everything; and he shared them so
   8   that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or   9   something new, thanks to
Charlie"s ideas.
     One day, though, he came up against a real   10  . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He
was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks
would always find some   11   to be sad: "I don"t have many sweets…my parents didn"t buy me that
toy…" Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn"t going to be   12  , and he kept
spending more time with Waterworks,   13   trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
     Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone   14   a pie from a window above by
chance, and it landed   15   on Charlie"s head. He got such a fright that he couldn"t even move his lips.
He was speechless, and   16   Waterworks was just about to cry, he   17   Charlie"s happy words so
much that he finally said, "Wow, Charlie, that"s a nice clown mask (小丑面具) you just   18  !"
     On saying those words, Waterworks felt so   19   that he finally understood why Charlie was always
so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie"s enthusiasm that he couldn"t help but
see the fun   20   of everything.

     I consider myself one of the luckiest people I know.
     I lost my biological mother when I was 9 and when she was alive she was not much of a mother to
me.
     I met my step-mom for the first time when I moved to America to be reunited with my father. From
the beginning she made sure to let me know that I was safe and welcome.
     I remember when I first saw her at the airport. It was different but not uncomfortable. After I was
picked up from the airport we went home and she unpacked my luggage. Then she took me shopping
for new clothes since the ones I had brought with me from Africa were a bit worn.
     That night before I went to bed she came to my room, which was the first room I had ever had for
my own, with the first bed I didn"t have to share. She told me she was glad to have me and that she
would take good care of me.
     Before she walked out of my new room, she asked me for a hug. I had no idea what she was talking
about. I did not know what the word hug meant, not because I didn"t speak English, but I had just never
heard the word before, let alone knew what it meant. So, I just looked at her with a questioning
expression on my face.
     But she didn"t give up. She called my father into the room and asked him to explain to me what she
meant. When my father was explaining I looked at her and wondered why she wanted to hug me. She
then told me it was because she loved me and opened her arms wide. Shyly I opened mine and we
hugged.
     That was my very first hug and I was 11 at that time. I"m 23 now and, thankfully, I have received
many hugs since then.
     I consider her my birth mother because life began when I came to stay with her. For the first time
there were no kids for me to take care of and I became a child for the first time. There was no work
waiting for me every day other than the occasional chores that she gave me to teach me responsibility. 
     Today I say thank-you to my mother; thank you for giving me my childhood back after it had been
taken away from me. I am who I am today because of your love!

1. What was the author"s life in Africa?

A. Difficult.
B. Amusing.  
C. Challenging.
D. Satisfactory.

2. The author was puzzled at her new mom"s request for a hug because _______ .

A. her new mom didn"t open her arms wide in time
B. the word" hug" made no sense to her at that time
C. her English wasn"t good enough to understand it
D. she didn"t hear what her new mom was talking about

3.  We may learn from the passage that the author _________.

A. didn"t need to do any work in her second home
B. met her new mom when she was nine years old
C. felt safe and loved by what her new mom did
D. had a very big family to support in Africa

4. What can be the best title for the passage?

A. My New Home                  
B. My First Hug
C. My Childhood            
D. My African Memory

     Every day has just 24 hours - and this applies to all people. Some people are constantly pushed for
time. This article is about how we can learn to manage our valuable time more effectively.
     In reality we cannot manage time. We can only manage ourselves and our relationship with time.   1   
And habits are not that easy to changes.
     Below here are tips that can help you manage your time better.
     Organize your goals.
     Organize your goals based on two criteria: degree of urgency and importance: a. Should be done
today, tomorrow, etc. b. Should be done at "that date". c. Can be put off for so many days. d. Can ask
someone else to do it.    2  
     Clean up your list.
     Make a list of everything you think that is not helping or benefiting you and do not do them!
     Focus on one goal.
     Concentrate only on one goal at a time. Otherwise, if while dealing with something you think about
everything you can do later, most likely you will get bored and disappointed.    3   The boredom (厌倦)
is guaranteed with this way of thinking.
     Identify your deadlines.
        4   Divide the activities per day / week and long-term goals to get a clear
picture of what you have to do and when.
     Find suitable work environment.
        5  
     Be realistic.
     Make sure that your goals are realistic and do not try for the impossible.
     Say "NO".
     Learn to say "no" to other activities, requests and people who eat your time
     (unless indeed at that very moment it is necessary for you to help them).

A. Allow time to adjust your list if necessary.
B. After all, how we use our time is largely a matter of habit.
C. Create a suitable environment to work, one that fits your style.
D. Check the list of what you should do and when it must be completed.
E. After organizing your goals, start with the most important and urgent.
F. It is like every time you eat you think all the meals you must eat in your life.
G. Do not let boredom discourage you if what you have to complete is boring.

     Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved
there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends.
     My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and
family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared(害怕) him and felt bitter about him He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A"s and
unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling worried.
     On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe.
We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s
funny facial expressions. Gone was my father"s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person
I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back
before?
     The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own
childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that
moment. After so many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I"m delighted
with my new friend. My dad in his new home in Arizona is back to me from where he was.
