The first event of my life to be printed into my memory occurred when I was three. My mother stands, working in the  41  and then glances at me with a  42  smile. Two feet down the table, I knock on a chair with a bowl and a spoon,  43  my own invisible (无形的) powder. We wear  44  dresses, mine the leftover  45   from hers, sky blue — mommy’s favorite color. I am her shadow.
However, by 14 I could not  46  my mother. All that I heard every day was NO. I wanted to dye my hair and she said no. I wanted to  47  late with my friends and she said no. I didn’t understand why she said no. She was trying to  48  me from aches and pains and mistakes  49  in her teens. Several years later, I finally understood her, but it was too late. She became ill. I cried and  50 , “Don’t take her, God, please! She is my mother, my mommy, ma, the woman who gave me life. All my years,  51  the hard times and the good, she has been there,  52  to me forever by an invisible umbilical cord (脐带) that lasts longer after birth.”But this cord, this love could do nothing to stop the cancer from  53 .
A few years later  54  I myself lay in the hospital bed, my newly born daughter was  55  in my arms. I cried and smiled and prayed. Please help me to  56  her into a wonderful girl. And looking down  57  her eyes, I could see the message they held, “Your  58  would be proud.”
I stand in the kitchen now, and these thoughts flashed through my mind. I glance at my young daughter. A  59  feeling rushes through my soul as I take in the familiar  60 .
I am my mother’s shadow.

举一反三
Roy died at an old age with many memories. His life was full of both good and bad memories, but he  26  to remember mostly the good. The bad memories that broke his heart and that he  27 with friends, involved the big war-World War II. So many things about his war experience he remembered  28 great detail.

Roy survived the attack on Normandy-he was part of the second wave that landed. He 29 with him the memories of water mixed with the blood of fallen soldiers. He experienced 30 , sweat, blood, fire and salt water just to get to the beach. In terror-filled moments that would forever change his life and the history of our world, his life was robbed of innocence(天真)  31  the realities of war engulfed(吞噬)him.
Not too many months later, he found himself cold and  32 . Close to being completely 33 from air supplies(供给)because of the weather, Roy and his fellows hung on to what little hope they could have. Then Christmas morning came, the weather cleared long enough for supplies to be  34 and word to spread that other troops would soon be there.
Many of the young men who began with Roy did not make it home  35 . They gave their lives to fighting against the Nazi. Those who did survive would never be the same. Many of them were the most patriotic(爱国的)people you would  36 meet, but most of them  37 war. They had experienced it. They knew its final realities-things got blown up while people were killed, and robbed of their beloved ones.
It is Memorial Day in the United States today. We all pray for an end for the world’s need for young men and young women to be placed in harm’s way. We also need to remember those who paid the huge  38 of wars-costs not counted in dollars, but in lost lives, broken hearts, forgotten innocence, broken families, and terrible memories. And as we remember to  39 those who paid this awful price, we also remember in hopes to see an end to war itself.
Please, in their honor, don’t forget their sacrifices(牺牲). Please, for our world’s sake, don’t forget to pray for  40 .

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, scared to look at each other.
Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other, bike riding to each other’s house and having sleepovers. In 7th grade she was going through family problems. However, every summer we would always sit at each other’s house and watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. She suffered from clinical depression(抑郁症), and had to go to a hospital during the day. I was very sorry for her at first. But with the late night calls, and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her, and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said this. “I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You didn’t know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying. I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me. ”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you leave them, you will only be very sorry. So if friends need you, and you care for them, you should be always there for them.
小题1:Why did the two girls hide behind their family members when they first met?
A.Because they were playing a game.
B.Because they didn’t like each other.
C.Because they quarreled before.
D.Because they were both shy.
小题2:What would have happened to her friend if the author had not cared about her?
A.She would have lost her new best friend.
B.She would have killed herself that night.
C.She would have run away from her family.
D.She would have stayed in hospital for a long time.
小题3:What lesson does the author learn from the story?
A.Always care for your friends.
B.Don’t care about others’ opinions.
C.Never owe your friends too much.
D.Try to be as cool as others.

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
Lydia M. Child
When I was a little girl, my father had a time-honored tradition. Following my bedtime story, he would give me a nose  36  , and whisper the most wonderful words into my ear. “Michelle, of all the little girls in the whole wide world . . .” he would pause.
“ Yes, Daddy?”
“ How did your mommy and I get so  37  to get the best one?”
 38  he had time to finish, I would say, “You got me!” And then he would continue , “The best little girl in the whole wide world, and we got you.” He would end with a bear hug and  39  kiss to my forehead.
Years passed and my father never missed a night, even when I thought he should have. After my basketball team was  40  , he came into my room.
“ Michelle, of all the basketball players in the whole wide world,” he paused.
“ Yes, Daddy?” I stared at the floor.
“ How did your mom and I get so lucky to get the best one?”
“ You didn’t.”
“ Of course we did, Michelle. We have you.”
After I  41  from college, I became engaged. My father never missed a night to call or leave a message  42  me how special I was to him. I even wondered if he would continue calling after I got  43  , but he didn’t. The daily calls I had taken for granted all my life ended the day he died from cancer, only weeks before my wedding. I deeply missed  44  the days with my father.
Standing behind the white church doors, I waited for the wedding march to begin. Before we walking down the aisle, my brother  45  inside his pocket and handed me an ivory napkin. Inscribed (题写) were the words:
Of all the precious  46  in the whole wide world, how did Mark get so lucky to marry the best one? He married you, Michelle, and he is so lucky! I am so proud of you, my little girl.
Love,
Dad

“The more you learn, the more you earn,” said the pop singer Cyndi Lauper as she accepted her high school diploma(证书) , at the age of 35 !
