As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange   36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that  37 me so much. There was never total  38 , but a streetlight or passing car lights 39   clothes hung over a chair take on the   40  of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 41  , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no  42 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My   43 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would   44 very still so that the "enemy" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 45  on the way home from school. Every morning I get on the school bus right near my home--that was no  46 . After school,   47  , when all the buses were  48  up along the street, I was afraid that I"d get on the wrong one, and be taken to some  49 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or museum, I wouldn"t  50 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears  51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or   52 by others. Being popular was so important to me  53 , and the fear of not being liked was a 54  one.
One of the processes of growing up is being able to  55 and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

Jealousy is a very common problem in daily life. It’s everywhere. For example, if someone does better than you, you will get annoyed because you want to be No. 1. We may become jealous of a best friend’s top marks in an exam, or of the girl in art class who is praised by the teacher all the time. We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us.
It’s bad to feel jealous. We should be pleased with the things we have. But we still wish we had the money of this person and the talent of that person. Instead of sharing their happiness, we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves. And, too often, these feelings are expressed by speaking ill of the people we envy.
However, envy is also a kind of compliment to others. We see that other people have styles and talents different from our own. By comparing ourselves with others, we can know what we lack. And we can turn this comparison, the envy of others, into a kind of power.
Therefore, being a bit jealous of others lets us know what we are like and what we want to be like. It can push us to become what we really want to be.
根据短文内容,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
小题1:According to the first paragraph, why do you get annoyed?
A.Because the teacher dislikes others.
B.Because others do something better than you.
C.Because you are an annoying person.
D.Because you want to be No.1 in the exam and you do.
小题2:The Chinese meaning of the underlined part “speaking ill of” probably is “_____".
A.赞美B.说…的坏话C.憎恨D.说…病了
小题3:What should be the right attitude towards jealousy?
A.It’s a good thing.
B.It’s just a bad thing.
C.It’s a kind of compliment to others.
D.It makes us know what we are like and what we want to be like.

Every spring scores of people flock to the Buzzard Festival at Hinckley, Ohio. They come to watch for buzzards. Most would be glad just to take a look at a buzzard. If they do see one of these" flying garbage cans", it will probably be circling high in the sky. From there it can watch the ground for signs of the waste and the dead animals on which it feeds.
The buzzard is the ugliest bird in the United States. In fact, it may well be the ugliest bird in the world. It has a small, bare, pink head. Its thick body is covered with dark, rough feathers.
In spite of its looks, the buzzard is important to the people of Hinckley. It is their first sign of spring. After a winter in the south, buzzards return to their homes in the north. In the Hinckley area, they always return on March 15. No one knows why. But they have come back to Hinckley Ridge on that day, sure as clocks work, for at least forty years.
The excitement starts in February. By the middle of March it has reached a high peak. Bets are placed. Prizes go to the person who sees the first buzzard. Radio stations and newspapers tell of the coming festival. And on the weekend after March 15 the people of Hinckley hold their Buzzard Festival.
The people come and look around. They chat. They eat their fill of pancakes and sausages. Then they drive past Buzzard"s Roost on Hinckley Ridge.
A lot of them stop near the road at the stand set up to give information to visitors. There they can hear, from a recording, the main facts about the buzzard. They can see a stuffed buzzard. They can look at some pictures taken of buzzards in other years. With good luck and a strong pair of field glasses, they may sight one or two live buzzards high in the sky.
Buzzards may be ugly. They may be "flying garbage cans". But in Hinckley they are just as welcome as the swallows in Capistrano, California. It would be a sad spring indeed if the buzzards ever failed to come back to Hinckley Ridge.
小题1:A good title for this story would be __________.
A.The Hinckley Buzzard Festival
B.Buzzard, the Ugliest Bird
C.Why the Buzzard Has a Pink Head
D.The Return of“The Garbage Can"
小题2:The buzzard is called the "flying garbage can" because it __________.
A.is uglyB.eats waste and dead animals
C.looks like a garbage canD.collect rubbish on the ground
小题3:The surprising thing about Hinckley"s buzzards is that_.
A.they spend the winter in the south
B.they come very close to the town
C.they return on the same day each year
D.both buzzards and swallows return to Capistrano on March 15
小题4:At the information stand, visitors to Hinckley"s Buzzard Festival can _________.
A.learn some facts about the buzzard
B.easily see a live buzzard
C.take some pictures with the background of live buzzards
D.feed their fill of pancakes and sausages to buzzards

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven"t thought about it, don"t have it on their schedule, didn"t know it was coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.
I can"t count the times I called my sister and said,“How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说), “I can"t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. It looks like rain.”And my personal favorite response:“It"s just Monday.”She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I"ve tried to be a little more flexible.
Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I"m going to”,“I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
When anyone calls my“seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you"re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list.
小题1:The example of the writer"s sister serves as__________.
A.an argumentB.an introductionC.a supportD.a conclusion
小题2:The writer thinks that the underlined excuse “It"s just Monday.”is acceptable, because __________.
A.it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later
B.it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses.
C.it shows respect for the writer"s suggestion
D.it indicates the time when they can have lunch together
小题3:The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.
A.appropriateB.influentialC.practicalD.evident
小题4:What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?
A.To suggest how time flies.
B.To persuade busy people to relax.
C.To advise people to keep their promise.
D.To convince readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.
