Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior I study in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.

Writing a long book seemed to be too much for me. So, for a long time, I just wrote short articles. One day, inspiration(灵感) for an article hit me and, as I started writing, paragraphs began flowing out fast. It turned out to be too long to be an article. I thought it would not hurt to try self-publishing a booklet(小册子). The first printing of this 32-page black and white booklet sold out within a week. Here is something that I have learned through my experience.
1.Start small.
Don’t try to have a 400-page work as your first publication. I suggest you publish a booklet under 50 pages to launch your career as an author.
2.Ask for advice.
If you know some people who have published something, ask them for advice and help. You will gain useful information from them and save yourself many problems.
3.
When you put your heart into something only to hear“We’re not interested”,you may get hurt. But you must remind yourself that this is quite common. Every“yes”you receive comes after at least five“noes”,especially at the beginning. You need to revise your book many times to reduce the chances of being turned down.
4.The more you market, the more you sell.
You can publish an excellent book. But if no people know about it, you cannot expect many buyers. Send out an e-mail to friends, family and business partners, telling them your book’s publication date. Ask them to help sell your book.
Do not be afraid to try novel ideas.
小题1:What does the underlined word“launch”in Point 1 there mean?| A．Begin. | B．Develop. | C．Lead. | D．Describe. |
小题2:What’s the best title for Point 3?| A．No one will like what you wrote at first. | | B．You will get hurt by what you wrote at first. | | C．Prepare for a“yes”rather than a“no”. | | D．Be prepared to deal with“noes”. |
小题3:According to the passage, if you want to have more copies of your book sold, you should .| A．advertise your book in newspapers | | B．try to make more people know your book | | C．ask your business partners to buy your book | | D．write something that people are interested in |
小题4:About self-publishing a book, the writer would most probably agree that .| A．one usually makes no money out of self-publishing a book | | B．one should never self-publish a book longer than 400 | | C．self-publishing a book is impossible for most people | | D．asking advice from people who have published a book is helpful |

One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed 36 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 37 for granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, however, he felt 39 －and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 40 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate （命运）played a cruel 42 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 43 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy . He began to 44 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 45 . Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated （带插图的）books.
According to Jimmy, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 48 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 49 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 50 . Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us －as it is for the “small people”in Jimmy’s books－if we make choices that are 52 for us.
In spite of his new 53 and wealth, Jimmy prefers working 54 at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his mornings drawing. To Jimmy, living a life as he chooses means much more than money and fame could 55 .

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play the character of Ronald McDonald for the McDonald"s Corporation.
One day each month，we visited hospitals bringing a little happiness to the children there. But there were two rules placed on me during a visit. First, I could not go anywhere in the hospital without permission. And second, I could not physically touch anyone within the hospital. They did not want me to carry germs(细菌)from one patient to another. Breaking either of these rules, I was told, I could lose my job. One day, as I was heading down a hallway and on my way home, I heard a little voice coming through a halfopened door，“Ronald，Ronald.”
I stepped in and saw a boy，about five years old, lying in his dad"s arms, Mom with a nurse on the other side. I knew by the feeling in the room that the situation was grave. I asked his name. He told me it was Billy and that I did a few simple magic tricks for him. As I stepped back to say goodbye, he asked me “Ronald, would you hold me？”
At such a simple request, my heart was screaming, “Yes！”But my mind was screaming louder. “No！You are going to lose your job！”
“Hold me” was such a simple request, and yet I searched for any reasonable excuses that allowed me to leave, but none. It took me a moment to realize that in this situation, losing my job may not be the disaster I feared. Then, I picked up this little boy. He was so weak and so scared. We laughed and cried for 45 minutes. With tears in my eyes, I left them. Less than 48 hours later, I received a phone call from Billy"s mom that Billy had passed away. She and her husband simply wanted to thank me for making a difference in their little boy"s life.
Billy"s mom told me shortly after I left the room. Billy looked at her and said, “Momma, I don"t care any more if I see Santa this year because I was held by Ronald McDonald.”
For the record, McDonald"s Corporation did find it out, but, given the situation，permitted me to go on with my job. I continued as Ronald for another year before leaving the corporation to share the story of Billy and how important it is to take risks.
小题1:The underlined word “grave” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.| A．weak | B．serious | C．interesting | D．exciting |
小题2:When Billy asked the author to hold him, at first the author ________.| A．was unwilling to do so | B．was glad to do so | | C．hesitated to do so | D．hurried to do so |
小题3:What lesson did the author draw from his experience?| A．To amuse others is enjoyable. | B．To take risks is important. | | C．To break rules is necessary. | D．To be fired is not fearful. |
小题4:We learn from the story that ________.| A．the author left the corporation because he broke the rules | | B．the author left the corporation because he didn"t like the rules | | C．the boy was quite happy with the experience with the author | | D．the boy was quite happy with Santa at Christmas |
