There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know a thing about being a good father. I couldn’t   36  him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “  37  ” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a   38 . Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad ---- he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.
So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and   39  every penny I could and   40  I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to   41  to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I’ll only   42 you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see,” was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a   43  to work. The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house ,   44  it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a(n)   45  day. As I dropped my dad off, I   46  him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his   47  from the truck (车尾箱) of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were   48  lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher(水泥修整工).
In that instant, it  49  to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out,   50  hot it got. Never, not once, had I hear him   51  about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to   52  me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my   53 . Don’t work too hard. I love you.”
His   54  met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he   55  his throat and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer(晚期癌症), and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends.However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life.I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.
As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him.He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity(人性).His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.
During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安养院) came to the home to regulate(调节) his medication (药)and provide any other needed support.He didn"t complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.
Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others.You often can"t learn these important attributes(属性)in the lap of luxury(处在优裕舒适的环境中), and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.
小题1:Which word can best describe the man"s initial(最初的) reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?
A.Satisfied.B.SadC.SurprisedD.Concerned.
小题2:What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?
A.He was operated on immediately.
B.He researched cancer treatments.
C.He retired from his job
D.He felt sad, doing nothing.
小题3:What was the man"s main source of comfort after several months with the disease? 
A.His family and friends.B.The care from others
C.His doctors’ encouragement.D.His belief in humanity.
小题4:What did the author learn from his friend’s story?
A.Getting comfort from God.
B.Extending life as possible.
C.Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury.
D.Giving more respect to friends

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank.There I would   36  the peace and quiet, watch the water rush   37  and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of   38  in the trees.I would also watch the bamboo trees   39  under pressure from the wind and watch them   40  gracefully to their original position after the wind had   41  .
When I think about the bamboo tree"s ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind.When used in   42  to a person, this word means the ability to readily   43  from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person"s   44  .
Have you ever felt like you are at your   45  point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the   46  you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health.You felt emotionally drained(枯竭),   47  exhausted and you most likely stood   48   physical symptoms.
Life is a   49  of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments.The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy   50   that take you close to your breaking point, bend,   51  don"t break.Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A measure of hope will take you   52  the unpleasant ordeal (考验).With   53   for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to   54  if the final result is worth having.
If life gets   55  and you are at your breaking point, show resilience.Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don"t break!
