题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want ---an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when your’re wrong---even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong also. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship an honour and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

They gave their time and their attention to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things. And what about the true spirit of holidays? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or wipe away a tear.

Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn’t just want a small    in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo    somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out    and drew the 1,500-mile route along which I would be    from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I    my plans with my dad, he    as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous    from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my    three days now, but there was an inner    going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I    could make it. The other part of me was ready to      to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another      who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey     by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of      . It encouraged me not to      .
As I listened to my      artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was      around me for miles.      , that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes--- millions of them. My arms were so dotted with      that they looked like a topographical map (地形图). But, however      it would be, nothing could stop my advance towards the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading(在...上面走) water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start — here’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding.
小题1:The author decided to write a novel ______ .
A.to finish the writing courseB.to realize her own dream
C.to satisfy readers’ wishD.to earn more money
小题2:How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?
A.Disturbed.B.Ashamed.C.Confident.D.Uncertain.
小题3:What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?
A.It pays off to stick to one’s goal.
B.Hard work can lead to success.
C.She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.
D.There is no end in sight when starting to do something.

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。  
When I worked in a large city, passing by someone experiencing homelessness wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me       , and I often felt, “I would be one of them        the kindness of God.”
I felt forced to do something, and as a single mom and newcomer to my field, I decided to  __    a plan that fit my limited budget. I began by        five to ten dollar bills each payday, and during the week, passing        out to those I met on the street.
Though a dollar felt like a small       , I realized how      _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me.        we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to        more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars       , but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had        enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I        that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to        them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for       . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel        taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone       . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your       .”
I can’t help but feel that my        with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I        by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has        mine.
