One day，some of the girls in our neighborhood started acting a bit strangely towards me．They talking to me．After a day or so of this，I finally what was going on．I"d said something to a（n） girl the night before that she didn"t like．I"d had a few that night, and like everyone I sometimes say things that severer than I mean them to．
Anyway，it seemed that the girl had told many of her friends，and now they were all at me．They found a great to think of all the other supposed“crimes”I"d committed over the past year． they"d all really liked me before, suddenly they I was a really bad guy．
This was a difficult problem．I to get along well with these people and I liked them all．I didn"t want them to me because of something stupid I"d said when I was drunk．It didn"t much whether they or I was wrong．All I wanted was things to be to normal again．
So I wrote the popular girl a note saying：“I"m sorry if I hurt your feelings．I didn"t mean to”．And that was it．The problem was solved． ．the girls who were angry with me now liked me than ever．They felt I"d done something in admitting I was wrong and apologizing．
Learn how and when to ．Often，the pride and stubbornness you hold onto by refusing to back down isn"t worth the of a lasting argument．An apology can for healing a difficult situation．And often, people will think better of you for it．

举一反三
Barefoot and dirty，the girl just sat and watched the people go by．She never tried to speak．Many people passed，but never did one person stop．
The next day I decided to go back to the park，curious to see if the little girl would still be there．Right in the very spot as she was yesterday，she sat with the saddest look in her eyes．
Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl．As we all know，a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone．
As I began walking towards her，I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a deformity（畸形）．I smiled to let her know it was okay，I was there to help，to talk．I sat down beside her and opened with a simple “Hello”．I smiled and she shyly smiled back．We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty．I asked the girl why she was so sad．The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said，“Because I’m different．”
I immediately said “That you are!” and smiled．The little girl acted even sadder．She said，“I know．” She looked at me and smiled．Slowly she stood to her feet，and said，“Really?”
“Yes，dear，you’re like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by．” She nodded her head “yes” and smiled，and with that she spread her wings and said with a twinkle in her eye，“I am．I’m your guardian angel．”
I was speechless，sure I was seeing things．She said，“For once you thought of someone other than yourself，my job here is done．”
Immediately I stood to my feet and said，“Wait，so why did no one stop to help an angel!?” She looked at me and smiled，“You’re the only one who could see me，and you believe it in your heart．”…and she was gone．
And with that my life changed dramatically．So，when you think you’re all you have，remember，your angel is always watching over you．Mine is!

While watching the Olympics the other night，I came across an unbelievable sight．It was not a gold medal，or a world record broken，but a show of courage．
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks．For one reason or another，two of them false started，so they were disqualified．That left only one to compete．It would have been difficult enough，not having anyone to race against，even though the time on the clock is important．
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong．I’m not an expert swimmer，but I can tell a good dive from a poor one，and this was not exactly medal quality．When he resurfaced，it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle．The crowd started to laugh．Clearly this man was not a medal competitor．
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time．Finally he made his turn to start back．It was pitiful．He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out．But in those few awful strokes，the crowd had changed．
No longer were they laughing，but beginning to cheer．Some even began to stand and shout “Come on，you can do it!” and he did．
A clear minute past the average swimmer，this young man finally finished his race．The crowd went wild．You would have thought that he had won the gold，and he should have．Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history，this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors．
Just a short year ago，he had never even swum，let alone race．His country had been invited to Sydney．
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold，or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors，it is nice to watch an underdog．
小题1:From the passage we can learn that the young man ．| A．made his turn to start back pitifully | | B．was skillful in freestyle in the game | | C．swam faster than the average swimmer | | D．was not capable enough to win the medal |
小题2:The crowd changed their attitudes because ．| A．they felt sorry for the young man | | B．they were moved by the young man’s courage | | C．they wanted to show their sympathy | | D．they meant to please the young man |
小题3:According to the passage，“it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means ．| A．it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself | | B．it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills | | C．it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors | | D．it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals |
小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?| A．The event started with three men，two of whom were disqualified later． | | B．The crowd started to laugh at the athlete’s arms waving in an attempt at freestyle． | | C．The athlete，as well as the author，is an expert swimmer． | | D．The swimming event is a show of courage rather than a fierce competition． |
小题5:What’s the best title for the passage?| A．Compete for Gold! | B．Try again! | | C．Break a Record! | D．Go for it! |

Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost．I it had slipped out my backpack as I was being ．While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into and I had no but to cancel my debit cards．
I’d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present ,which was a bright, red leather, Cheeky Monkey purse ,so probably not entirelyfor a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!
Everyone I spoke to I might get the purse back but the money and vouchers in it would very likely disappear．I had written off the of the purse and was even considering whether to move on and go “grown-up” when I was seeking a ．
I came home late the following night and my monkey purse was on my mat! I checked the contents and everything was including anything of cash value．I was astounded when I read the note which read, “I came across this last night．It was too dark to it then ,so I came back tonight．I got your from your license．Sorry．Iain．”
Not only had this man returned my purse but he thought he me an apology for not bringing it back sooner!
I have told almost all my acquaintances, who almost responded with a similar standard answer, “It restores your in human nature” and it lots of stories about similar experiences．
There were no contact so I am unable to get in touch to say thank you to Iain, but I hope he will be of how grateful I am!

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head．Now I am thirty two．I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is．It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity（灾难） can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn"t been blind．I believe in life now．I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise．I don"t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes．I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left．
 The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was basic．If I hadn"t been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life．When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone．That is part of it．But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance．It had to start with the simplest things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball．I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt．"I can"t use this．" I said．"Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around．" The words stuck in my head．"Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball．At Philadelphia"s Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball．We called it ground ball．
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time．I had to learn my limitations．It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．
小题1:We can learn from the beginning of the passage that _______| A．the author lost his sight because of a car crash． | | B．the author wouldn"t love life if the disaster didn"t happen． | | C．the disaster made the author appreciate what he had． | | D．the disaster strengthened the author"s desire to see． |
小题2:What"s the most difficult thing for the author?| A．How to adjust himself to reality． | | B．Building up assurance that he can find his place in life． | | C．Learning to manage his life alone． | | D．How to invent a successful variation of baseball． |
小题3:According to the context, “a chair rocker on the front porch” in paragraph 3 means that the author __________ | A．would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life． | | B．would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair． | | C．would lose his will to struggle against difficulties． | | D．would sit in a chair and stay at home． |
小题4:According to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the man _____| A．hurt the author"s feeling． | | B．gave the author a deep impression． | | C．directly led to the invention of ground ball． | | D．inspired the author． |
小题5:What is the best title for the passage?| A．A Miserable Life | | B．Struggle Against Difficulties | | C．A Disaster Makes a Strong Person | | D．An Unforgettable Experience |
