I had been playing hockey (冰球)for about 10 years, I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and 26 got into a game.I went to all the 27 and showed up even when itwas so 28 that your ‘breath froze’ and whenplayers had decided to stay home. I feltI had 29 enough and thought of quitting”
I finally decided to 30 the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on 31 my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise 32 , so think about yourself in a 33 way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape, 34 my shot accuracy and changing my 35 .
Once in a match, we 36 our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my 37 place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going 38 . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little 39 . But my mom’s words 40 out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my 41 work was paying off. I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the 42 to score. The crowd went quiet. All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had 43 me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s 44 has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I 45 myself.

Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That"s where the similarities ended.
I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn"t. I couldn"t stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.
I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.
When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise. I would have thought she"d outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That"s when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations.
We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.
Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other"s houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.
Paris, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.
小题1:The writer and Paris were similar in that .| A．they were both new students | | B．both of them were friendly | | C．both of them were tall | | D．they were both the youngest in class |
小题2:In the article the writer described Paris as a girl who was .| A．awkward and shy | B．fashionable and proud | | C．quiet and lonely | D．friendly and lovely |
小题3:What did the writer learn from Paris?| A．How to make best use of her neighborhood. | | B．How to dress and look fashionable. | | C．How to become a good writer | | D．How to make friends. |
小题4:From the article, we can see that through her friendship with Paris, the writer .| A．found she and Paris had more similarities than differences | | B．was able to fit in at her new school with Paris’ help | | C．was not so awkward or shy as before | | D．learned more about fashion herself |

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 11 . My complaints, even self-justified（自有道理） 12 , were always landing on 13 ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end up with their 14 into tears. I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to 15 my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain 16 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was 17 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 18 arriving back, the children were 19 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy 20
for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 21 asking them to play a certain violin 22 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 23 ．
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 24 : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 25 of well-done jobs the day 26 .
27 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its （贴条）. The bathroom mirror became the 28 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be 29 .
We all benefited from and 30 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication．
