My name is Nick Vujicic, an Australian who was born without any limbs（四肢）. In recent years one of my most 36 videos on YouTube shows my skateboarding, surfing, playing music, and best of all, 37 hugs from all fields of great people.
All in all, those are pretty ordinary 38 that just about anyone can do, right? So 39 do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are 40 to watch it because in spite of my physical limitations, I’m living 41 I had no limits.
People often think someone 42 a severe disability to be inactive, upset, maybe even crazy. But I’d like to 43 them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fruitful life
Among the hundreds of 44 on that video, here’s one typical remark:” seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why I feel 45 for myself sometimes －or feel not funny enough, or whatever. How can I 46 think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being happy!?”
I found happiness when I realized that imperfect 47 I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic. I’m designed 48 God’s plan. That’s not to say that there isn’t 49 for improvement. I’m always trying to be better so I can better 50 the world!
I do believe my life has no 51 . I want you all to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we 52 our journey together, please take a moment to 53 about any limitations you’ve placed on your life. Now think about what 54 would be like to be 55 of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?

核心考点
试题【My name is Nick Vujicic, an Australian who was born without any limbs（四肢）. In re】；主要考察你对
题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
There are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One’s thoughts must be directed to the future and to things about which there is something to be done.
It is unwise to be too attached to the youth in the hope of sucking vigor from its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them, unless they are cold to you.
I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities. It is in this sphere that long experience is really fruitful, and it is in this sphere that the wisdom born of experience can be exercised without being oppressive. It is no use telling grown-up children not to make mistakes, both because they will not believe you, and because mistakes are an essential part of education. But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests, you may find that your life will be empty unless you concern yourself with you children and grandchildren. In that case you must realize that while you can still render them material services, such as making them an allowance or knitting them jumpers, you must not expect that they will enjoy your company.
Some old people are afraid of death. But in fact the best way is to make your interests gradually wider and ore impersonal. An individual human existence should be like a river-small at fist, rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider and the banks move back and in the end they become mixed in the sea without any visible break.
The old man who can see life in this way will not suffer from the fear of growing old and death.
小题1:The author suggests that old people should_______.| A．develop impersonal interests with proper activities. | | B．tell their children not to make mistakes | | C．concern themselves with their children | | D．not give their children an allowance |
小题2:The underlined word “render” in Paragraph 3 is close to the meaning of “_____”.| A．return | B．reward | C．offer | D．demand |
小题3:The author compares an individual human existence to a river because _____.| A．Life is like a river, first small, and then it becomes wide | | B．life is like a river finally flowing into the sea | | C．old age and death are both natural just like a river | | D．old people will be mixed in the crowd like a river mixed in the sea |
小题4:What’s the best title of this passage?| A．Setting Sun Is Beautiful | B．Growing Old Successfully | | C．Why Fear Getting Old | D．Caring for Olds More |

I was eight when my neighbors got a TV. It was small and expensive, but that didn’t matter. IT WAS WONDERFUL. Everyone in the building came up to the fifth floor to see this latest wonder of the modern world. That was in 1948.
Soon, a lot of people got a TV, but not us. My parents didn’t think it was good for children. Being a good son, I didn’t argue with them. But I secretly watch TV—at my friends’ homes.
By 1955, televisions weren’t so expensive and were much larger. My parents still thought they were not good for us, but my sisters insisted, saying they were the only people in the neighborhood who didn’t have one. All their friends talked about certain programs and actors, but they couldn’t. Their friends laughed at them, which made them feel very unhappy. My youngest sister cried, saying she was never going back to school and that life without a TV wasn’t worth living. Nothing my parents said made her feel better. The next morning, without telling us, they went out and got a new TV.
When we were young our parents allowed us to watch TV for two hours a night. And we couldn’t watch until our homework was finished. But after a year or two, TV wasn’t exciting or new anymore. It became just another part of our lives like shoes or soap. My parents still had fears about TV. We were going to forget how to read, and TV was going to fill our minds with violence, they said.
Today people still argue about the value of TV. Nobody can deny the power of TV, which has a powerful influence on our lives. On average, Americans spend 30 hours a week watching TV. Is this influence good or bad? This is an unanswerable question indeed: It is hard enough to measure influence; and it is even harder to decide what is good and what isn’t. What is good, I suppose, is that many people are concerned about TV’s influence and that we have the power to change what we don’t like.
The people of Monhegan Island, 18 kilometers away off the coast of Maine, don’t have electricity, and they decided; once again, that they liked that way. Electricity, they think, would make life too easy and spoil their way of life. Maybe the young people wouldn’t want to go to town dances anymore. Maybe they would be more interested in staying at home and watching TV.
小题1:How old was the author, when their family got a TV?| A．About 15. | B．8. | C．18. | D．About 10. |
小题2:The author’s parents finally decided to buy a TV because _______.| A．they wanted to meet their daughters’ needs . | | B．the children couldn’t go to school without a TV | | C．the sisters would like to be like their friends | | D．they had to do as the youngest daughter told them to |
小题3:The author thinks “to judge whether a TV’s influence is good or bad” is ________.| A．concerning | B．hard | C．meaningless | D．important |
小题4:The last paragraph is written to show ________.| A．the disadvantage of TV | | B．TV influences people a great deal | | C．the advantage of TV | | D．we can change what we don’t like |

Fill Her Tank First
The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a 1968 Ford Capri for a graduation present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles.

“Really?” I said. Hope __49__. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two dollars’ __50__. I just need to go home.”
“Fill it,” he __51__ to the attendant. Then to me, “You will do the same one day, for someone else.”
I keep looking for that unlucky young person, __52__ to save her night on the road. Meanwhile, in case she never __53__ up, I try for other acts of random kindness. That __54__ driver is always at the pump a few feet away, __55__ the attendant to fill mine first.

Comedian Groucho Mark said, “Those are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”
You and I have principles and we also have 31 . I have opinions about what I think is right or wrong or good or bad. But they’re only opinions —I could be 32 ! I won’t try to build my life around my opinions, 33 I’ll try to keep to my principles.
A 15-year-old boy learned a valuable 34 about life principles. One day, he found a wallet that 35 $127 as well as a woman’s 36 . He jumped onto his 37 and went to her house. He told her he found her wallet and she gave him a big 38 . She also gave him twenty dollars.
That evening the boy told his parents about the 39 and his father said, “I don’t think you should have 40 $20 for doing what you should have done. A person shouldn’t be rewarded for being 41 .”
He considered his father’s statement and 42 that he would return the money. He 43 biked to the lady’s home and gave her back the money. She didn’t want to 44 it, but he told her she had to — that his father 45 something to him that he had 46 realized before.
When ideals such as honesty and a personal standard of always doing the right thing guide our every action and decision, we 47 develop a good character. These great principles 48 our lives and make us into a person of 49 . They teach confidence. That boy is 50 to be raised by a wise father who had the wisdom to say, “Those are my principles.”

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.
Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.
小题1:The reason why people often regret may be that _______.| A．they are too busy to notice the beautiful things | | B．they are too careless to cherish precious things | | C．they are lazy to observe the surroundings | | D．they think that it’s none of their business |
小题2:The idea the author would like to get across to us seems that _______.| A．actions speak louder than words | | B．a bad beginning makes a bad ending | | C．the lost will never come back | | D．each day brings its own bread |
小题3:What method does the author employ to support his opinion？| A．By listing data. | B．By comparing the details . | | C．By explaining the procedures . | D．By taking examples. |
小题4:How do we understand the underlined parts “waiting and regretting”?| A．Many people will not cherish what they have until they lost them. | | B．Many people cannot do well until they get older. | | C．Many people know what they are doing. | | D．Many people regret for what they don’t possess. |
