解析
小题1: A。前面说“我得到了渴望已久的电动车”，而这里用 but 转折，表示的是“你很难相信为了得到这个神圣的礼物我所经受的痛苦和付出的努力”。
小题1: C。从上下文来看，“我”很早就关注着车，并通过看介绍有关车的杂志来了解信息。
小题1: A。根据上下文可知，此处说的是“我”终于下定决心买辆电动车。make up one’s mind 为固定短语，意为“下决心”。
小题1: B。前面说“下决心买电动车”，此处说的是作出决定后就立即开始行动了。set to work 意为“开始行动起来”，下文具体写了所做的工作。
小题1: D。此处说的是“我”展开的第一项工作，那就是告诉爸爸说“我的那辆旧车的操纵杆失灵了”。Work 是动词，意为“工作，有效”，在这里说的是“操纵杆不灵了”。
小题1: B。从上下文来看，“我”的第一次工作没有成效，反而被爸爸指责为“我”不会操作。bad driving 意为“不会操作，错误操作”。
小题1: D。前面“我”是找了旧车操纵杆失灵这样一个借口，从后面的内容特别是引号内的话语可以看出，“我”的下一个计划就更明确、直白了。
小题1: A。这是“我”力劝爸爸买电动车的话。从 …with controller and battery pack—all for only US$250 及后面的 …miss out on this bargain 等可推测，此处应选用 afford。can / be able to afford… 是常见搭配，意为“省出或找到足够的时间或金钱去(做某事)；……得起”。
小题1: D。从 …and for US$250 you could buy… 等来看，爸爸的反应确实是不想买电动车。
小题1: D。根据上文的 You couldn’t ___ to miss out on this bargain 等可推测此处应填 bargain。
小题1:B。这里说的是爸爸的观点。与其买电动车，倒不如买一架像望远镜一样具有教育意义的东西。something like 意为“像……样的东西”。
小题1:C 从 when I’m 97 years old 及后面的 This is my youth 等来推测，此处说的是“要看月亮，那就等到 97 岁时住在养老院里看好了”。这是作者对爸爸提议买望远镜的一句气话。
小题1: D。从前面多次提到买车被爸爸拒绝，后面又有 …how mean my father was 及后面的 …he didn’t ___14___ that I would die… 等来推测，此处说的是“我”对爸爸的吝啬很“恼怒”。
小题1: C。前面说“我”很恼怒，再结合后面的 …that I would die if I did not get the Pumpkin radio-controlled truck 等推测，“我”觉得爸爸才不“在乎”呢！
小题1: B。根据时间状语 on Christmas morning，可知讲的是“我”在圣诞节的早晨醒来后查看礼物时发生的故事。
小题1: D。按照常例，西方儿童在圣诞节早晨收到礼物是激动和兴奋的，可此刻“我”却兴奋不起来，因为“我”要车的幻想破灭了。此处用 defeat正好符合“我”当时的心理。
小题1: C。从前面的 I opened all my presents until there was just one big package… 等可推测，此处说的是“直到还剩下最后一个包裹”。
小题1: D。从上下文来看，此时只剩下这最后一个包裹，于是“我”就打开包装，这与后面的看到里面的东西相符合。
小题1: A。与上面的 I had been defeated 相对，此处描写的是当我得到盼望已久的车时高兴的心情，“我”终于“赢”了。
小题1: D。前面一直在责怪爸爸不给“我”买车，当得到车后，“我”高兴得觉得能做任何事情，后面进一步说“我甚至能在英语课上得 A+”。

Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there
any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is because you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time．Compare it with your real values and priorities（优先考虑的事）in life．Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy for friends，why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other hum
an beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities．Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you．
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.

At first everyone was sorry to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: “Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least he’s no longer here! ”One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is you.”
You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.
