My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex – used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secrectary-General of the United Nations (UN).
Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting（笔迹）.It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange（交换）addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalcm, he took the book along.

42．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover, in her own handwriting”, floored的意思是十分吃惊的，选项中surprise意思最接近。
43．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段“It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends.”可知the Californian met Emma in a concert.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 36 had such a big influence 37 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now, 38 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very 41 experiences. There are still many things 42 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better 43 youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 44 . There are so many things around us that 45 our will. We can’t force life 46 our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48 the world. I think we should learn to accept 49 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 51 that they slip by and leave you feeling 52 . I realize that I’m not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54 . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 55 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right-and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to 36 others how their positions, statements, and points of view are 37 , and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow 38 it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been 39 by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.”? Or, has anyone you know ever 40 you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their 41 ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us 42 to be corrected. We all want our positions to be 43 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 44 of the human heart. And those who learn to 45 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 46 of correcting others are often resented and 47 .
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise 48 others the joy of being right- give them the glory. 49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to:”, rather than jumping 50 and saying, “No, it’s more important to…:”, simply let it go and allow their statement to 51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more 52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 53. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s 54 , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos (自我). Starting today, let others be “ 55 ”, most of the time?
