When my children were little, if they wanted something that too much I’d have to say, “Do you see a money outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.” Finally, all five got through high school and college, and started living on their own. And I started thinking again about having a .

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter,rude boss,or an insensitive employee your day? One day I was in a taxi and we headed __ the airport. We were driving in the lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes,slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started at us. My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He that many people are like garbage trucks.

You store the bad memories rather easily, and you them more frequently. So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t.

It was only a few weeks after my surgery, and I went to Dr. Belt"s office for a checkup. It was just after my first chemotherapy(化学疗法) treatment. My scar was still very tender. My arm was numb underneath. As usual, I was taken to an examination room to have my blood drawn, again —a terrifying process for me, since I"m so frightened of needles. I lay down on the examining table. Ramona entered the room. Her warm smile was familiar, and stood out in contrast to my fears. She knew about my fear of needles, and she kindly hid the equipment under a magazine. As we opened the blouse, the fresh scar on my chest could be seen. She said, “How is your scar healing?” I said, “I think pretty well. I wash around it gently each day.” The memory of the shower water hitting my numb chest flashed across my face. She gently reached over and ran her hand across the scar, examining the smoothness of the healing skin and looking for any irregularities. I began to cry gently and quietly. She brought her warm eyes to mine and said, “You haven"t touched it yet, have you?” And I said, “No.” So this wonderful, warm woman laid the hand on my chest and she gently held it there. For a long time, I continued to cry quietly. In soft tones she said, “This is part of your body. This is you. It"s okay to touch it.” But I couldn"t. So she touched it for me. The scar. The healing wound. And beneath it, she touched my heart. Then Ramona said, “I"ll hold your hand while you touch it.” So she placed her hand next to mine, and we both were quiet. That was the gift that Ramona gave me. 小题1:After I got my first chemotherapy treatment, _________.A.I began to feel better | B.my scar was still painful | C.I could hardly stretch my arm | D.I got tired of operation | 小题2:Ramona hid the equipment under a magazine to _________.A.cheer me up | B.rid my fear | C.make me amused | D.tease me | 小题3: When Ramona examined my healing skin, __________.A.she was careless | B.she hurt me | C.I started to cry | D.she was in tears | 小题4:I began to have the courage to touch the scar _________.A.because of Ramona’s encouragement | B.because I could face the fact | C.because of Ramona’s gentleness | D.because Ramona and I became friends | 小题5:What is the author’s attitude towards Ramona?A.Objective | B.Grateful | C.Doubtful | D.Helpless |

Matt Haimovitz is 42 and a renowned cellist (大提琴手) in the world. He rushed into the classical music scene at the age of 12 after Itzhak Perlman, the famed violinist, heard him play. But nothing in his family history explains where Haimovitz got his extraordinary talent. And that’s typical, Ellen Winner, a professor says. “People are fascinated by these children because they don’t understand where their talent came from. You will see parents who say, ‘I wasn’t like this, and my husband wasn’t like this.’ It seems to sometimes just come out of the blue,” Winner says. It’s not clear whether a prodigy’s (天才)brain is any different from the brains of other children, in part because there have been no study comparing the brains of prodigies to those of average people. “But I believe that anything that shows up so early, without training, has got to be either a genetic or some other biological basis,” Winner says. “If a child suddenly at the age of 3 goes to the piano and picks out a tune and does it beautifully, that has to be because that child has a different brain.” Children who are extremely gifted tend to be socially different, too, Winner says. “They feel like they can’t find other kids like themselves, so they feel strange, maybe even like a freak, and feel like they don’t have anybody to connect with. On the other hand, they also long to connect with other kids, and they can’t find other kids like themselves.” As Haimovitz got older, he became frustrated. He wanted to play other kinds of music but felt constricted by the image and the expectations of the boy prodigy who played classical music and filled concert halls. “When you start that early, you suddenly start to grow up in public, and I wanted to experiment,” Haimovitz says. So he took his cello into punk rock clubs and coffee houses. He played Bach, Haydn and Hendrix. “My teacher was Leonard Rose, and we never played any 20th-century music. He didn’t like it. But once I was exposed to James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix, Miles Dewey Davis El and others, I couldn’t really turn back. I wanted to know more,” he says. 小题1:According to some parents, prodigies’ extraordinary talent . A.comes unexpectedly | B.is inherited from parents | C.results from hard work | D.is trained in early times | 小题2:Winner seems to agree to the fact that ____. A.average people have their particular brains | B.biology is the base of a different brain | C.a prodigy’s brain is superior to those of others | D.genes play an important role in a prodigy | 小题3:According to the text, gifted children are .A.lonely | B.easy-going | C.innocent | D.social | 小题4:The last paragraph is mainly about how Haimovitz was trying to .A.build up his friendship | B.play different kinds of music | C.set up the image of a prodigy | D.perform classical music creatively |
