Today we spent the morning going through our personal belongings .We were looking for items to __ for free at a local park. Not just any items but things people really . Our aim was not to find things we no longer but things we use every day that would be to others.
We packed these things boxes and added some small toys. We added a list of local addresses and phone numbers of local agencies. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed. It : “Please take these items and know that your life is important. are difficult but these days will pass. We share what we have believing that it will matter. Use the food to nurture your ; use the blankets to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human can overcome anything. Do not hold your head for having a need to stay warm. Someday please do the same when you can.”
This kind was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was because it was the right to do. We have often seen people at the park where we left the belongings. I that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was about it and she just replied that it had a hood (兜帽) . Her answer told me why it is I who love her. She liked the coat but knew the hood could someone from the rain.
Who knows where these gifts of sympathy will ? How many uses can a blanket serve what it was designed to do? We never go back and see what happens. It is unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that .

核心考点

题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.
Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.
Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is probably best to “bite your lip.”
But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情绪), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.
If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.
小题1:According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?
A. “Please let me through”.
B “I can’t speak French well”.
C. “Sorry I said a bad word”.
D. “I’m very angry with you”.
小题2:What does letting out your frustration help you to do?| A．Make others more upset. | | B．Feel happier about yourself . | | C．Solve a problem calmly. | | D．It is no help at all. |
小题3:Who is this passage most likely written for?| A．All kinds of people | | B．Young children | | C．Very angry people | | D．People who like to swear |
小题4:How does this passage view expressing emotions?| A．They should be kept very private. | | B．They need to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one. | | C．They should be expressed any way you like. | | D．They should only be expressed if they are positive. |

I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a person.
I think my started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So tried a (n) . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I to help. That was really a big for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my . Every time I came into her room, she was so because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never her, so I took her place. She let me that making others feel good make me feel good, too, when she died, I was , but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not these experiences. They have me to care about other people more than about myself. I who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

How to Get What I Want?
There’s an expression: “What you see is what you get.” My grandfather used to say: “If you looked at a tree long enough, it will move.” We see what we want to see. Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you’ll be successful, you won’t. You can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger: “Now that you’ve retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently: “I’m going to be the No. 1 movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood’s No. 1 movie star!
So when the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said: “I’ll do it the same way I became the No. 1 bodybuilder in the world. What I do was create a vision of who I want to be, and then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it? But I worked! Schwarzenegger became the No. 1 highest paid movie star in Hollywood. Remember: “If you can see it, you can be it.”
There’s a successful businessman who often wears a shirt with these words on it: “Don’t just pursue your dreams. Chase down and tackle! ” you only get one life to live, so why not live the best life possible? So you can be fully satisfied at what you see and get.
小题1:What did Arnold Schwarzenegger do before he became a Hollywood star? | A．He worked for a newspaper. | | B．He was a man working on bodybuilding. | | C．He worked in a small film company. | | D．He was a businessman. |
小题2:Why was it hard for the reporter to believe that Schwarzenegger would become a star one day?| A．Because he was not famous. | | B．Because he was not professional and spoke poor English. | | C．Because he was good at nothing except bodybuilding. | | D．Because he only spoke English fluently. |
小题3:What did Schwarzenegger plan to do to make his Hollywood star dream come true?| A．He continued to build his body. | | B．He went to make more movies. | | C．He lived a life like a movie star. | | D．He tried his best to meet the movie directors. |
小题4:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?| A．Have a dream and make it come true. | | B．Stop your dream and find realistic things to do. | | C．You can just daydream alone. | | D．There’s nothing to do in the world but dream. |
