I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 36 to look at each other． But we soon lost the 37 and started playing with each other． In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was 38 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people．” 39 of my new friends liked her as much as I did 40 they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would 41 sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I 42 the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and 43 did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very 44 at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in 45 ． I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 46 deserted her, when people were calling her 47 , but I knew I still 48 her like a sister．
Yesterday she came 49 me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was 50 I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 51 ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 52 me． I 53 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 54 me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 55 your friends．

小题6:D考查副词。would过去经常，soap opera肥皂剧，talk about everything we liked谈论我们喜欢的一切。根据every summer和would可知是经常发生的动作。always“总是”，强调经常发生，是正确选项。
小题7:B考查动词。 when在句中引导时间状语从句，不可与强调句型“it is/was...that...”混淆。她的病情在恶化，作者才意识到问题的严重性。下文“She started cutting herself！”也提供了暗示。A.solved“解决”，不合题意。B.noticed“注意到”，与下文照应，是正确选项。C.faced“面对”，是她生病而不是作者需要面对这一问题。D.understood“理解”，不合题意。
小题8:B考查副词。so+助动词+主语表示……也是如此 （不同的人）。 助动词取决于上文的时态。

小题13:C考查动词。朋友生病，应悉心照顾。A.believed in“信任”，不合题意。B.waited for“等待”，与后面like a sister不符。C.cared about“照顾”，与下文及二人之间的关系联系紧密，是正确选项。D.replied to“回答”，她并没有向作者提出任何问题。
小题14:D考查介词。上文提到两人在晚上用电话保持联系，因此可推断她是来找作者。come with表示“和……一起来”，不合题意。come after表示“跟踪”，显然不对。come upon表示“突袭”，显然错误。come to表示“来”，与上下文呼应，是正确选项。
小题15:A考查连词。此句实际上是“not...until...”句型。A.“not...until...”句型是正确选项。

小题18:B考查动词。她生病后，作者并没有嫌弃她，而是无微不至地关怀她，所以她为此感激不尽，觉得欠作者很多。A.tell“告诉”，文中没有提到她告诉过作者很多事情。B.owe“欠”，与上文及她现在的心情照应，是正确选项。C.give“给”，她没有给作者很多东西。D.show“展示”，不合题意。
小题19:D考查动词。作者只是同她保持朋友之间的纯真友情，没想到一个电话竟然无形中挽救了她的生命。helping“帮助”，与她此时的心情照应，是正确选项。
小题20:A考查动词短语。总括全文，呼应主题。give up on sb.表示“对某人的康复不再抱有希望”，与主题呼应，是正确选项。look back表示“回忆”，不合题意。drop in表示“顺便拜访”，显然错误。look down表示“轻视”，干扰性很强，但文中多次提到desert，显然作者意在表明任何情况下都不要放弃自己的朋友。 |

I 54 him and wrapped him with his unfit shirt, which had wrapped my leather shoes. On my way home, the 55 of the boy stayed in my mind.

One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest（最令人沮丧的）.We were just little kids , and on Christmas Day mom 21 us all around her to tell us , 22 ,that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to 23 for our daddy.He was very sick . I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying 24 a miracle（奇迹）
At that very moment ,someone 25 loudly on the door. 26 Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father 27 as a minister . News had 28 that we were in trouble ,and his colleagues knew we needed some 29 .
With all the excitement ,even my dad 30 in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be 31 by good Samaritants（乐善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped , and we girls 32 packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is 33 to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I 34 remember an evening of laughter and 35 There were no expensive toys but 36 moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) 37 time . They gave their time and their 38 to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things . And what about the true 39 of holidays ? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or 40 a tear.

I recently overheard something that surprised me. I heard that people who win the lottery (彩票) are__21_for about 3 weeks. And then they go back to their__22__state of being before they won the money.I__23__that they would have been happy for a much longer time.
The reason for this is that__24__we try to change how we feel by using something outside of ourselves，like winning the lottery，or getting a new car or house，it never__25__.The resulting feelings of happiness are often fleeting (飞逝的)．We cannot__26__them for very long.In some way，it may be a good thing.It reminds us that happiness really does come from within and is__27__to us at any moment.True happiness has__28__to do with what is happening outside；it is an inside job.Happiness is a__29__.
We can make the decision to be happy for one day，when we__30__in the morning，every morning.We can find something that brings us great __31__，like sitting outside in the garden under an old tree and__32__the birds sing，or watching the dog or cat play，and just__33__the moment.It is our__34__state and we need only allow it in.At any moment，we can__35__，take a deep breath，and remember who we really are，and why we came here，and that truly is to__36__joy and the aliveness of being.
“Happiness is like a butterfly which，when run after，is always __37__our reach，but，if you will sit down___38__，may fall upon you，” said Nathaniel Hawthorne，an American novelist.So，today，no matter what is going on in your own__39__，stop and take a few moments to breathe deeply and just__40__to be happy，whatever that means to you.

We all have weaknesses and strengths, no matter who we are. Sometimes the weaknesses seem to outweigh the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around. Some people get sick easily. Some struggle to manage their money properly. Some people are hopeless communicators and struggle with relationships.
Many people accept it as just bad luck, but not everyone. Some people facing huge limitations still manage to achieve surprising things. They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit their possibilities.
I attended a school prize-giving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft, who had a severe stutter(口吃) as a child. Instead of allowing this to limit him, he chose to work hard to overcome it. He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand. Not only did he become successful, but he did so in a profession where he had to speak in front of others regularly.
Lots of people face far more significant limitaions than you do. They may be missing limbs or are born into extreme poverty. But no matter what the limitation you will always find people who have overcome it. Brett Eastburn has no arms or legs and yet is an inspirational speaker and also a very good wrestler. Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles, came from a very poor background. He was constantly plagued with illness as a child and spent large amounts of time in hospital. Mark Inglis lost both of
his legs below the knees in a mountaineering accident, but has since climbed Mt Everest.
Most of us will never have to face the challenges these people faced. Yet most of us will never achieve to the degree that these people have either, unless we choose to. If Mark Inglis can climb the highest mountain in the world without legs, _________ ?
