list grew: I was very thin; I wasn"t a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. I tried to
bear all these things as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked, "Are the things she said true or not? Janet, didn"t you ever wonder
what you are really like? Well, you now have the girl"s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said, mark
the points that are true. Pay no attention to other things she said." I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I
discovered that about half of the things were true. some of them I couldn"t change (like being very thin), but a
good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it, "That"s just for you," he said. "You know better than
anyone else, the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just closing your ears in anger and
feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you"ll find it will be of help to you. Don"t shut your ears.
Listen to other people"s opinions, but hear the truth and do what you think is right."
Daddy"s advice returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I"ve never had a better piece of
advice.
B. The Best Advice I"ve Ever Had
C. My Father
D. My Childhood
B. She had made a list of shortcomings and kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and
longer

silent for a while.
C. Because he didn"t believe in his daughter
D. Because he wasn"t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
B. He criticized her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.

were true.
D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

| Mr and Mrs Brown were going abroad for their holiday. They had a dog called Blackie which they were very fond of, but they could not take him abroad with them, so they looked for a good place to leave him in while they were away, and at last found a place which looked after dogs very well while their owners were away. They took Blackie there just before they left for their holiday, and sadly said goodbye to him. At the end of their holiday, they got back to England very late at night, and as they thought that the place where Blackie was staying might be closed at that hour, they decided to wait until the next morning before going to get him back. So the next morning Mr Brown got into his car and drove off happily to collect Blackie. When he reached home with the dog,he said to his wife. "Do you know, dear, I don"t think Blackie can have enjoyed his stay at that place very much. He barked all the way home in the car as if he wanted to tell me something." Mrs Brown looked at the dog carefully and then answered, "You are quite right, dear. He was certainly trying to tell you something.

| Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream. It was an old-time store with little round tables and chairs. As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted by some sadness that her face nearly touched the table top. I sat down facing her a couple of tables away. "Poor woman," I thought, "what does she get out of life? Why God let people live so long past their prime (盛年)?" As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years ……In minutes, the two of them were trembling with laughter. I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself. I was wearing a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, her hands sparking with gold rings. I was gloomy (愁闷的) She was laughing, smiling. I sat alone. She was sharing the day with a good friend. I was secretly worried about getting old She was old, but it wasn"t hurting her. As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish question about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive (敏感的) to life than I was.

| Tick, tock, tick, tock. I"m sitting here, watching the movements of my existence pass slowly away. My house has been 1 for such a long time and I"m lonely and forgotten. Sitting here, by myself, all that I can do is 2 and think about my past. I could tell you stories that only 3 would know. But walls can"t speak. I came to this place many years ago, along with an old man... 4 , he was with me for only three short years before he passed away.... For a time, I was left alone, while people came and 5 the house.... Then, one day a nice couple moved in with a young son. From the beginning, their son Danny liked to stay with me, and I was completely 6 with him. He always looked as if he loved the stories I told, most of which began with "Back in my day..." and "When I was younger..." I sometimes had the kind of idea that he didn"t really understand what I was saying, but it felt good to be 7 .... When Danny went off to college, my heart broke. Soon afterwards, 8 sold the house.... New owners came and 9 . Then, one day it so happened that I was in when a new family was moving into the house. You can"t imagine my 10 when, unexpectedly, Danny walked through the front door. He had a 11 and kids now. I was so overjoyed when I saw him that I put all my 12 into my daily activities.... I spent the next twenty years watching his kids grow up, with a mixture of pride and anxiety about what would happen next. The kids finally became 13 and Danny sold the house. That was about five years ago.... Some of the local kids have started the rumor (谣言) that the house is haunted (闹鬼的)-and, in a way, it is. It is haunted by 14 of all the people who have lived in it. Every second has impressed me so much. I have been counting them down and they are almost up for me.... I hope that someday somebody will 15 me, and call on me again. Maybe then I"ll get a new home and a chance for a whole new set of memories. | |||
