I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that I work at home. Alone (well, except for the cats and dog). All day. And I drink a lot of water, which makes for many trips to the bathroom.
Another thing I have to admit: I also try to use very little toilet paper. I wash my hands after, though. Every time. (So maybe the water I don’t use flushing makes up for the water used to wash my hands?)
Ironically, my husband, who only uses toilet paper when necessary, always flushes. But he doesn’t seem to mind that I don’t flush every time. Or, at least not enough to file for divorce. Yet.

When I’m at home alone I do not flush every time I pee(小便). My husband hates that, though, so when he’s home, I flush a little more often. I grew up doing that because I had a family that lived with huge tanks and you have to do it that way because it’s easier on the system, so it doesn’t bother me. I do flush when I’m out in public, at people’s houses that don’t have big tanks and when we have company!

Not always. But I have 4 children who are always hanging from the door knob（球形捏手） while I pee anyway. So I’m lucky I have time to wash my hands after. The average toilet uses 8 gallons of water per flush! Much less than what it takes to wash my hands after. (just saying)

Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated (分居), would arrive for a meeting on his failing schoolwork and 小题1: behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called up 小题2: .
Tommy, an only child, had 小题3: been happy, cooperative, and an excellent student. How could I make his father and mother 小题4: that his recent failing grades 小题5: a brokenhearted child’s reaction to his respected parents’ separation and possible 小题6: ?
Tommy’s mother came in and 小题7: one of the chairs I had placed near my desk. Then the father 小题8: and was surprised to see his wife. They pointedly ignored each other.

We raced forward with determination, ready to leap tall buildings and race against speeding trains. We pushed harder and ran faster, demonstration our skill and impressing passing motorists and neighbors.
We kept on running until we hit the Beast, a name for a very difficult, nearly two-mile long steep climb.
Only a few paces into the Beast, I gasped for air. Far short of superhero status, my enthusiasm and active steps were lost somewhere at the base of the hill. A vision of the newspaper and a cup of coffee waiting in my kitchen appeared, attracting me to turn back toward home.
With a glance I noticed Nika wasn’t doing any better. She continued to faithfully follow me, putting one paw in front of the other, but without her former eagerness. Her tiredness touched me. And in that moment, I felt a sudden spark of renewed determination to press on. I couldn’t allow this mountain to get the better of us. To improve both our spirits, I managed to shout, “Good girl, Nika! Keep going…you can do it!”
“I’m encouraging a dog, for heaven’s sake!’’ I needed to pull myself together. With a few simple words, I changed our course. One moment we were on the edge of quitting. The next, our feet picked up the pace and we continued. Though tired and discouraged myself, with a few kind words I impacted a dog’s ability to go further. I’m sure I could have completed the opposite with ill-chosen comments and an unpleasant tone. Instead, the Beast was defeated and we flew like heroes the rest of the way home.
Life is full of beasts to conquer. For some, it is the seemingly impossible climb of cancer. For others, their beast takes the shape of parenting a child or a teenager. Uphill climbs come in all shapes and sizes, common only in their ability to defeat, discourage and tempt tired travelers to quit. Sometimes all that’s needed is a few spoken, well-timed words of encouragement from a fellow runner – someone who sees the struggle, dares to jogs alongside, and cares enough to say, “Keep going! You can do it! You’re not alone. I believe in you!”
小题1: The writer starts the text by describing________.
| A．the beautiful scene of the morning |
| B．his or her preparations for a jogging |
| C．a lively dog named Nika |
| D．the growth of crops at the farm |
| A．liked reading newspapers while drinking coffee |
| B．had an intention to give up running |
| C．would treat himself or herself to coffee after running |
| D．might appear on the newspaper for the long running |
| A．after he or she found the dog was still energetic |
| B．because they came near the top of the hill |
| C．when he or she noticed the tired dog |
| D．before they arrived at the bottom of the hill |
| A．Words are powerful than deeds. |
| B．Beasts in life aren’t easily to conquer. |
| C．Dogs are the best friend of humans. |
| D．Try it one more time before giving up. |

One day in summer I stepped into a tiny coffee shop to drink a cup of black coffee. As I entered, I found a very old woman bent 小题1: a table near the door. Her back was so 小题2:twisted(弯曲) by some sadness that her face nearly 小题3: the table-top. I sat down facing her two tables away.
"Poor woman," I thought. "What does she 小题4: life? Why does God let people live so 小题5: past their prime(黄金时期)?"
As I thought, 小题6: aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about 小题7: . They talked of how little the shop had 小题8: in 70 years... In minutes the two of them were 小题9: with laughter.
I looked again at the 小题10: woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, 小题11: a picture of myself.
I was wearing a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, gold rings on her fingers.
I was in 小题12: spirits. She was laughing, smiling.
I was putting the 小题13: of my life together. She had millions of wonderful 小题14: to recall.
She was 小题15: the day with a good friend. I was 小题16: worried about getting old. She was old but it wasn"t 小题17: her.
As
I left the shop, I thought of my 小题18: questions about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more 小题19: and more sensitive than I was. 小题20: has not bent her spirit. But I am always filling my mind with something unpleasant.| 小题21: |
