I have decided to test myself every day in a different way. Today’s test: practice the art of 41 . It is something so simple, but so 42 to those who need a kind heart and a good listener. Sometimes, we all need someone to listen to us with no 43 . We just want to be heard. 44 , I really made sure that I listened to everyone who spoke to me throughout the day, 45 I was busy.
As I was 46 in the break room today, I had a conversation with a colleague I 47 talked to. She always looked like a(n) 48 lady, but today she seemed very troubled. So I sat down with my lunch and jut listened. She told me about her unlucky 49 who was killed in a car crash last year, and her 50 daughter who struggled with pain every day. I listened and made her 51 much better. At the end of the 52 , I gave the single mother a big warm hug and told her how 53 she was. Of course, we 54 friends after our first talk.
What an inspiration she is! 55 with so many difficulties and frustrations, she still comes to work with a positive attitude, a 56 to succeed and a big smile every day.
I believe everyone 57 a ray of sunshine in their life, someone that will give them a big warm 58 and say, “You’re amazing!” I hope I can always get need like this met.
I am a dreamer, but I move forward while I dream. My dream is to 59 happiness. Tomorrow, I will write “You are beautiful! :)” on small cards, hide them everywhere, and make those I work with 60 them by chance and with joy.

举一反三
A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking(搭便车) on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road. The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel(方向盘)!
The car started to move very slowly. The man looked at the road and saw a curve(拐弯处) coming his way. Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life. He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve. Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky(怪异的) car. Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town. In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky.
Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car. Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk!
About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other,“Hey, there’s a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it!”
小题1:When the car was first drawing near a curve, the man .| A．felt very curious | B．was extremely frightened | | C．cried for help | D．remained as calm as possible |
小题2:According to the passage, what made the man’s experience believable?| A．His reasonable behavior. | B．His vivid description. | | C．His simple appearance. | D．His honest attitude. |
小题3:We can infer from the passage that .| A．it is unsafe for people to take a free ride | | B．the man was telling a lie to his listeners | | C．the car probably broke down on the way | | D．the two young men were familiar with the man |

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card （成绩报告单）arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you.” Just then, I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time” and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a great improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll（光荣榜）. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home，he said, “Mum，remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

小题2:There was silence on the other end of the line because ________.| A．the speaker was too moved to say anything to his mother | | B．the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking | | C．the speaker didn"t want the mother to recognize his voice | | D．the speaker didn’t want to interrupt the mother |
小题3:What is the main idea of this passage?| A．Children in single-parent families often have mental problems. | | B．Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life. | | C．Being understood by parents is not necessary to teenagers. | | D．School education is a failure. |
小题4: Which is not true according to the article?| A．Karl changed a lot after his father died. | | B．What Karl did at school showed that he didn’t love his mother. | | C．Karl’s mother tried many ways to help him. | | D．Karl’s teachers were surprised at his change. |

Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员), though-just an English teacher in Japan.
I come to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are unwilling to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
小题1: From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in ________.| A．Tokyo | B．a small town | | C．a city of middle size | D．a big city |
小题2:According to the writer, one had better _______ first to do private teaching better.| A．give a TEFL course | B．decide his or her own lessons | | C．find students | D．build up a full schedule |
小题3:The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _______.| A．there are many foreigners in Japan | | B．Japan is good for nightlife | | C．they can teach English privately in Japan | | D．Japan has something more attractive than expected |
小题4:After reading the passage, we can see _________.| A．the writer travelled a lot and saved much money in Japan. | | B．the writer teaches English in more than one school as a part-time job. | | C．the writer enjoys watching football games | | D．the writer spent one year in finding students for his private teaching. |

This was my grandmother’s first Christmas without grandfather. When we reached her house, it did seem a little 36 without grandfather.
Grandfather had always said the Christmas 37 was the most important. So we set to work assembling（组装）the beautiful 38 tree that was stored in grandfather’s closet（储藏室）. After we finished, we stepped back to 39 our work. It looked wonderful. But something was 40 .
“Where’s the star?” I asked. It was my grandmother’s 41 . As we emptied box after box and found no star, my grandmother’s eyes 42 with tears. Grandfather had given it to Grandmother fifty years ago. Now, on her first Christmas without 43 , the star was gone, too.
“Let’s 44 in the closet where the tree was,” my sister Donna said. We 45 under beds and over shelves, inside and outside 46 we had exhausted every possibility. We could see Grandmother was 47 , although she tried not to show it. By now, it was 48 outside, and time for bed, as Santa would soon be here.
The next morning, my sisters and I 49 early to see what Santa had left under the tree. After breakfast, the family sat together to 50 presents. “The last gift is to Grandmother from Grandfather.” Father said, in a puzzled voice.
“From who?” There was 51 in my grandmother’s voice.
“I found that 52 in the closet when we got the tree down,” Mother explained.
My grandmother opened it. Her face lit up when she pulled out a(n) 53 golden star. There was a note attached. Her voice trembled（颤抖）as she read it:
Don’t be 54 with me, dear. I broke your star while putting away the tree. Thought it was time for a new one, I hope it brings you as much 55 as the first one. Merry Christmas.

I got your letter and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again in Tennessee, promising to do better for me than anybody else can.
Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt. It would do me good to go back to the dear old home again and see Allen, Esther, Green, and Lee. Give my love to them all, and tell them I hope we will meet in the better world, if not in this.
I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here in Ohio. I get twenty-five dollars a month, with food and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy, the folks call her Mrs. Anderson; and the children—Milly, Jane, and Grundy—go to school and are learning well. The teacher says Grundy has a head for a preacher. We are kindly treated.
Now, if you will write and say what wages you will give me, I will be better able to decide whether it would be to my advantage to move back again. We have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At twenty-five dollars a month for me, and two dollars a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to eleven thousand six hundred and eighty dollars. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct（扣除）what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy. If you fail to pay us for faithful labors in the past, we can have little faith in your promises in the future.
In answering this letter, please state if there would be any safety for my Milly and Jane, who are now grown up, and both good-looking girls. I would rather stay here and starve—and die, if it should come to that—than have my girls brought to shame by the violence and wickedness of their young Masters. You will also please state if there has been any schools opened for the colored children in your neighborhood. The great desire of my life now is to give my children an education and have them form virtuous habits.
Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.
小题1:According to the passage, the letter was written by Jourdon to his former _______.| A．friend | B．master | C．neighbor | D．relative |
小题2:Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?| A．The family name of this letter writer is Anderson. | | B．The writer is paid the same as he was in Tennessee. | | C．The writer will certainly get at least 11,680 dollars. | | D．Safety rather than education weighs a lot to the writer. |
小题3:The writer’s description of his present situation implies that _______.| A．he shows his intention of going back in Tennessee | | B．he is somewhat richer and does not need to go back | | C．his life is relatively good but still needs improvement | | D．he is not a little satisfied with his present life in Ohio |
小题4:The purpose of the writer’s asking for his pay back is _______.| A．to show he needs that amount of money urgently | | B．to show he is determined to get what he deserved | | C．to test whether the letter receiver is worthy of trust | | D．to tell the letter receiver he still has faith in him |
小题5:From the passage, we can see the writer is very _______.| A．wise | B．stupid | C．greedy | D．generous |
