parents taught me.For example, when I kept playing jazz records on the player, my father would
think of such music as making noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always
considered extremely dull.
My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always saying that
"One rotten (腐烂) apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples". When I insisted on sleeping with my
pet dog, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas (跳蚤).
These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were unreasonable
about.Today, however, I am a father of a boy of sixteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son
with a lot of rules that he seems to find hard to accept.The other day, I noticed that my son"s hair was
too long, so I told him to go to the barber"s and get it cut short.Usually, he is fairly obedient, but this
time he put_his_foot_down."What"s wrong with my long hair?I don"t think you have the right to order
me to cut it short, even if you"re my father!"
When I was a boy, if I had spoken in such a way to my father, he would have taught me a good
lesson.But now we are living in a world with more freedom.My son"s insistence on wearing his long
hair was only an example of the generation gap that existed between us.So I tried to be more
understanding and now he still wears his long hair.
B. listen to jazz
C. be careful about making friends
D. wear long hair
B. The writer"s son often went against him.
C. The writer always obeyed his parents as a child.
D. The writer liked wearing long hair.
B. insisted
C. accepted
D. left
B. no generation gap exists between parents and children
C. parents have the right to order their children
D. parents should show more respect to their child

During his talk, Jack 1 his wallet, pulled out a hundreddollar bill, and said, "Who wants this?"
2 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 3 . But I jumped up,
ran up the 4 to the stage, and grabbed the bill.As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 5
through my mind-was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people?Would they 6 security
guards and take me from the stage? 7 my desire for bold action was louder than any 8 voice.
As I got the bill from his hand, he said, "That"s it!We can"t wait for the 9 to come to us.We must
take action to 10 what we want!"
After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his 11 email address.Over
the next months, I sent him emails 12 my vision and dreams with him.He kindly emailed back lots of
encouragement.But my life got 13 with other things.I stopped emailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away.I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant
14 that would show me the way.
I emailed him, and then again-but got no 15 . As I sat down at my computer to check my emails,
I 16 woke up.What was I doing?I was waiting!Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 17 that
hundreddollar bill, while they sat 18 to their chairs.
Usually we all have a "Jack" for whom we wait-whether it"s a person, a place or a thing.We 19
believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 20 way.So we
don"t try.We give up. But as Wayne Gretzky said: "You"ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you
don"t take!" So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.
Now what are you waiting for?

| For years Tom Anderson"s life was withered up (枯萎) by the memory of his part in a fraternity (友爱, 互助会) adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife separated after six years of marriage.Then the news about Tom changed.His wife Betty came back; he earned a fine position.One day he told me what had changed his life."I used to think, "Nothing can undo what I have done." The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall between my wife and me." "Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see-the mother of the college classmate who died."Years ago", she said, "I found it in my heart, through prayer, to forgive you. Betty forgave you.So did your friends and employers."She paused, and then said seriously, "You are the one person who hasn"t forgiven Tom Anderson.Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?"I looked into her eyes and found there a_kind_of_permission_to _be_the_person_I_might_have_been_if_her_boy_had_lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved." It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience.But forgiving our shortcomings doesn"t mean denying that they exist.On the contrary, it means facing them honestly, realistically. Can a person be allforgiving and still be human?A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer in Germany.His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies; his younger sister and older brother were sent to the gas chambers.This is a man who has every reason to hate.Yet he is filled with a love of life that he conveys to everyone who knows him.He explained it to me the other day: "In the beginning I was filled with hatred.Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy.Unless you forgive, you cannot love.And without love, life has no meaning."Forgiveness is truly the saving grace. | |||

| I fell in love with the minister"s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister"s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister"s family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. "It"s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied," explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the same as American girls on the outside." She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame." It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food. | |||
