topic, which was about all the good old times that we had changed to a touching story when he started
talking about his father.
His father"s declining health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered from insomnia (失眠) and often talked to himself. My friend, who had not been able to sleep for a few days as
he had to keep watching his father"s condition, became irritated and told his father to keep silent and try to
get some sleep. His father said that he really wanted to sleep well because he was very tired and told my
friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to keep him company.
After his father finished talking, he fell unconscious (失去知觉). My friend was very sorry for speaking the ill words towards his father. My friend, whom I knew as a tough person, cried as a baby on the other
end of the telephone. He said that from that moment on, he prayed every day, asking God to let his father
wake up from his coma. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his father"s mouth after
he regained his consciousness, he would gladly take them. His only hope for God was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake.
Often, we complain when we have to accompany or watch over our parents for years, months, days,
hours or even minutes. But do we realize that our parents keep us company and watch over us for as long
as we (or they) live? From the day we were born to our adulthood, and even when deaths come to us, they are always at our side.
Imagine how sad our parents will be when they hear a seemingly innocent word of "no" come out from our mouths. We can make promises to ourselves that from now on there will be no more complaints that
come out from our mouths when we have to watch over or accompany our parents. No more complaints
come out from our mouths when we feel that our parents have treated us like little children. There are so
many unlucky ones who have neither fathers nor mothers. They long to have the things that we most
complain about, but never have them.
Actually, it takes only a second to think and light the lamp that will bring us to a place where peace is
dwelling.
B. Sorry
C. Regretful
D. Pitiful
B. recite…by heart
C. realize
D. recognize
B. Be good to your parents when you still have the chance.
C. You will regret in your life if you don"t show your kindness to your parents.
D. It is not easy to take good care of sick old parents.

Since making my first attempt, I had often thought over the question. So the next time I told her, "Mum, it must be our eyes." She said, "You are learning fast, but the answer isn"t correct because there are 2
people"
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are
getting smarter, dear." Last year, my Grandpa 3 away. Everybody was heartbroken, crying. When it
was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa, Mum asked me, "Do you know the most 4 I was 5 when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the
puzzled look on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows you have really lived your
life." I saw her eyes full of tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your 6 ." I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head?" She replied, "7 , it is because on them a crying friend or a loved one can 8 their head. I hope you will have a shoulder to cry 9 when you need it."
Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is being sympathetic to the pain of 10 .
There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast (对照),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends;There are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt (适应) change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity (不安全) and selfdoubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.
He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog ,a golden retriever, maybe ,for travels like this and to keep him company at home.

His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage .He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married ,and both of them had a vague(not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and ,she was gone . The note read, “Robert ,it didn’t work out ,I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”
