On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench outside the restaurant and opened the door for us．Regardless of his , he greeted us in a friendly way.
Once inside, my daughters whispered, "Mom, he . " After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many him.

When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck．With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I myself from the meal and went to get them.

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau（衣橱）and picked out a wonderful skirt. “Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago .She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my attitude to life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them.
“Someday” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now . I’m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn’t have tomorrow.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited, those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry and sorry because I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, and every breath truly, is…a gift from God.

小题3:Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?| A．Spending more time staying with family every day. | | B．Attending social activities as often as possible | | C．Enjoying life and valuing every day. | | D．Trying to get along well with friends |

Nobody likes home economics (家政学). But restoring the program could help us in the fight against obesity and chronic (慢性的) diseases today.
The home economics movement was founded on the belief that housework and food preparation were important subjects that should be studied scientifically. The first classes occurred in the agricultural and technical colleges that were built in the 1860s. When most departments of universities rejected women, home economics was a back door into higher education.
Indeed, in the early 20th century, home economics was a serious subject When few people understood germ (微生物) theory and almost no one had heard of vitamins, home economics classes offered vital information about washing hands regularly, eating fruits and vegetables and not feeding coffee to babies.
However, today we remember only the fixed ideas about home economics, forgetting the movement’s most important lessons on healthy eating and cooking. Too many Americans simply don’t know how to cook. Our diets, consisting of highly processed foods made cheaply outside the home, have contributed to many serious health problems. In the last decade, many cities and states have tried to tax junk food heavily or to ban the use of food stamps (食品券) to buy soda. Clearly, many people are doubtful about any governmental steps to promote healthy eating. But what if the government put the tools of obesity prevention in the hands of children themselves by teaching them how to cook?
My first experience with home economics happened two decades ago when I was a seventh grader in a North Carolina public school. A year later, my father’s job took our family to Wales, where I attended a large school for a few months. It was the first time I had ever really cooked anything. I remember that it was fun, and with an instructor standing by, it wasn’t hard. Those lessons stuck with me when I first started cooking for my husband and myself after college and they still do. Teaching cooking in public schools can help solve some problems facing Americans today. The history of home economics shows it’s possible.

小题3: In the opinion of the author, how should we fight against childhood obesity?| A．Children should be taught how to cook. | | B．A heavy tax should be put on junk food | | C．Healthy eating should be promoted at school | | D．Using food stamps to buy soda should be banned |
小题4:What does the author imply in the last paragraph?| A．Her family moved frequently in her childhood. | | B．Cooking classes have a far-reaching influence on her later life. | | C．To receive a better education, she went to a large school in Wales. | | D．Teaching cooking is the key to solving Americans’ health problems. |

Do you know some people who just have all the luck? They seem to get all the and you ask yourself: “Why don’t I get ? Why don’t I get a great education?” But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that they’ve learned how to themselves in a place so they can be lucky. They’ve learned how to, in a way, their own luck!
I’m not about dishonest or illegal ways. I’m talking about hard, work. But successful people work smart. They keep improving and making the most of their abilities. Yet they also learn to for help in things they themselves are not that good doing. So we not only must make the most of our own special strengths, we must also learn our and weaknesses.
A man recently got his lucky big break. Everyone said, “That guy’s so lucky!” But that man created his own luck by arriving at the office early. He apologized and when he was wrong. He even shared the credit and reward with others he had done much of the work. He was never satisfied just to get and do average work. He always the extra effort to do his very best.
We have to work hard and do what it to be on the way to luck and success when it comes. , weMI miss it because we aren’t ready. You never know when the right opportunity will come your way, and when the right, important person is watching your excellent and work. That’s when you’ll get your lucky break! But when you put your life in Jesus Christ’s , the right important person is always you and all that you do. Then he will and bless vour life in manv wavs as vou do vour very best to please him in every thina every dav.
