One of my new neighbors’ house was only a few feet away from mine. There lived a woman. Through
one of my windows, I could see her reading by her window every afternoon.
Several months later, I found I couldn’t see the woman clearly. I thought her window was too dirty.
I said to myself, “Why doesn’t she clean her window? It looks terrible!”
One afternoon, I decided to clean my house including(包括) the window. I felt tired after three hours
of hard work. So I sat down by the window for a rest. What a surprise! I could see the woman reading
there clearly again! By that time, I realized that my own window was too dirty, not hers! I really felt
asha
med for myself. I had been watching her through my dirty window in the past days!The experience is very important for me. So I try to clean the window of my heart before judging
(评判) others.

C. Four years.
B. the woman’s house was too far
C. the woman didn’t open her window

words I heard when I 1 the TV the other day. They were coming from one of the talk shows 2 are so popular on TV these days. I started to turn the channel but the words I had 3 made me stop for a moment. I 4 the speaker of them. He couldn"t have been more than 18 years old, but already he
was writing off (认为……已失败) his life as a useless waste.
I wanted to shout at him:" You"re not 5 yet!"
It is 6 sad that so many people cannot get beyond (摆脱) their pasts and live 7 the present.
There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still in their teen years 8 that
their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have 9 the boat to success and happiness. Th
ere are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by. I want to shout to them all:" Wake up! You"re still 1 0 ! What have you done today?" If you
want a happy life, you can"t dwell on (细想、纠缠于) your past 11 . If you want joy and love in your
life, you have to choose them today. God gives us a new chance at life every time we wake up in the
morning. It is up to us to seize it.
Today 12 be the beginning of a new life for each of us. We can choose joy right now. We can share
love today. We can live in delight starting at this moment. It doesn"t matter how hard our past has been.
Our present can be full of joy and our future can be full of 13 . It doesn"t matter if we are eight 14
eighty--we can still make our lives 15 . Life isn"t over until your last heartbeat. Start today, then, to make your heart beat with joy, love, and light.

| 阅读理解 。 Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine: "A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert (沙漠) during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost un-bearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand-sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn"t stand it another minute and was coming home.

The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post. She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it. The desert hadn"t changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her." A change of attitude could change everything.
