About five years ago I began to study at a new school, when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little 1 ,wondering whether I could get on well with my classmates.

My teacher made us 6 next to each other for the last term. Lucy was not happy. However, I kept 7 at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her that she was beautiful.
Finally, Lucy let me 8 to her, even when her friends were around. She ___9___ telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember the ___10___ time when she smiled at me and said that, and I smiled right back, saying 11 to her. One day Lucy invited me over to her house, and talked to me all the time 12 her other friends. That day Lucy , the girl who had hated me, called me her best deskmate. After that, we 13 friends for years.
I moved to Arizona later, but I will never 14 Lucy. I still remember she considered me her 15 at first. During that time it felt like I was 16 my time, and losing my dignity(尊严)，but I still smiled at Lucy even when she 17 me. I’m not stupid; I didn’t think she was 18 in doing those things, but I still put up with it. And finally we became great friends.
Not long ago, I read the 19 of Abraham Lincoln, “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” I smiled, thinking of Lucy. It just 20 me how great a friend I used to have.

One day, when old Jacob and little Jacoble were walking home, the sun began to go down. Old Jacob was thinking of his house and little Jacoble didn’t know what to think. Then he thought of a wonderful idea, and he cried, “Jacob! Do you know what I saw yesterday? I saw a green rabbit. It was flying in the air and it was so big, even bigger than an elephant!”
“You saw that with your own eyes?” asked old Jacob. “Of course I did,” said Jacoble proudly. “It’s a good thing that you really saw that big, flying, green rabbit,” said old Jacob, “because that old bridge we are going to walk over is a very strange one. As soon as anyone who hasn’t told the truth comes on it, the bridge breaks in two.” They continued walking.
“Jacob,” said Jacoble a little later, “you know that big, green, flying rabbit I saw yesterday ... Well, it wasn’t really flying, and ... it wasn’t quite as big as an elephant ... but it was very big, about the size of a horse!” “Big as a horse?” asked Jacob as they got closer to the bridge and little Jacoble began not to feel so well.
“Jacob,” said Jacoble. “That big, green rabbit I saw yesterday, well, I had something in my eye and so I couldn’t see that well. It wasn’t a very big rabbit but it was green. Yes, that’s what it was — all green!”
Old Jacob didn’t say a word. He just walked over the bridge. But Jacoble didn’t go after him because he was afraid and he knew why he was afraid. He stood at the bridge and said, “Oh, Jacob! You know that rabbit I saw yesterday. It wasn’t green. No. It was just a little, brown rabbit.”
Then he was not afraid of anything any more and he ran happily over the bridge.

小题2:Jacob considered Jacoble’s story ______.| A．humorous | B．interesting | C．frightening | D．unbelievable |
小题3:Why did little Jacoble change his story again and again?| A．Because he was afraid of falling into the river. | | B．Because he tried to persuade Jacob to believe it. | | C．Because he wanted to frighten Jacob. | | D．Because he didn’t remember the story clearly. |
小题4:What lesson can we learn from the text?| A．A lie will never be known. | | B．True friends don’t cheat each other. | | C．Telling lies makes one suffer from fears. | | D．Making up a story is lying. |

December 2
Sharon called about four times today. At least it shows she’s trying to explain something to me. I feel a little better.
December 3
This morning Sharon said she had only told one person and didn’t know why everyone seemed to know. Yes, I am an adopted (收养的) daughter. But she had promised to keep it a secret for ever!
December 5
I wish I had a friend I could really trust all of the time. I thought I found that friend, but I haven’t and it’s making me miserable (痛苦的)! It’s wrong to tell her all about it. She gains my trust, and then loses it.
December 7
I have a nice room, beautiful house and everything I’ve ever wanted. My adoptive parents will give me all the things I’ve ever dreamed of. Yet all the money in the world can’t buy what I want now. I want for Sharon to be my best friend again.
December 10
Sharon just called. She said she thought it might help if we spent more time together. She worried that I would switch schools (转学). She is the best friend I’ve ever had. When I’m with Sharon, I can be myself. I need Sharon’s friendship. I need it more than I’ve ever known.
December 16
I just had the most fantastic two days of my life! This was the best time I’ve had for a long, long while. Yesterday, we walked five times around the park and today we walked along the river for twenty minutes. We talked so much. Sharon, Sharon, no brick wall between us now.

How often do you let other people"s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver，impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee 36 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed 37 the airport．We were driving in the 38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his 39 ，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 40 the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started 41 at us．
My taxi driver just 42 and waved at the guy．And I mean he was really 43 ．So I asked，“Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call“The Law of the Garbage Truck”．
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of 44 ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage 45 up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they"ll dump it on 46 ．Don"t take it personally；Just smile, wave，wish them well，and move on．
Believe me．You"ll be 47 ．Don"t take their garbage and 48 it to other people at work, at home，or on the streets．Life"s too short to wake up in he morning with 49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what"s 50 in your life，Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you 5l bad things more ofter than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you 52 them more frequently．
Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don"t．Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 53 it!
When you follow“The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life! You make room for the good by 54 go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 55 the harvest you will reap tomorrow．

The bicycling craze came in when we were just about at the right age to enjoy it．At first even “safety” bicycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride, and they had to have tricycles．My mother had(I believe)the first female tricycle in Cambridge；and l had a little one，and we used to go out for family rides，all together；my father in front on a bicycle． and my poor brather Charles standing miserable on the bar behind lny mother．I found it very hard work．pounding(轰隆隆行进)away on my hard tyres；a glorious，but not a pleasurable pastinle．
Then, one day at lunch, my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre，filled up,with air，and he thought it might be a success．And soon after that everyone had bicycles，ladies and all; and bicycling became the smart thing，and the lords and ladies had their pictures in the papers，riding along in the park，in straw hats．
My mother must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often，for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises(青肿)on her legs．But she never complained，and always kept these accidents to herself．However，the great Mrs. Phillips，our cook, always knew all a hout them；as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened．She used to draw us into the servants" hall to tell us privately：“Her Ladyship had a nasty fall yesterday；she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist．But don"t Iet her know I told you．”So we never dared say anything．Similar little accidents used to occur when，at the age of nearly Seventy，she insisted on learning to drive a car．She never mastered the art of reversing(倒车)，and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver． Mrs．Phillips used then to tell us：“Her Ladyship ran into the back of a milk-cart yesterday；but it wasn"t much hurt”；or“A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road；but she said she didn"t know what the white Line on the road meant，so he explained arld Let her go on．”Mrs．Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligence Service at her command，for the stories were always true enough．
