I had a best friend named Seema, whose family was even poorer than ours. We played and studied together, and spent the best days of our childhood laughing at the silly stories we made up. I was excited to show her my three beautiful new dresses. She loved them all and was happy for me, but tearfully explained to me that her father could only afford to buy her clothes for her birthday. I felt sorry, and then did something that surprised even myself: I asked her to pick out one of my dresses for herself. To my disappointment, she picked up my favorite—the yellow one. Please remember, I was only seven years. My heart almost popped out (跳出) of my chest. But as she held it against her body, and I saw how brightly she smiled, I stopped feeling any hurt. I told her it looked lovely on her.
I’ll always remember Seema’s smile, and how at that moment nothing mattered more. When you value your friendships, nothing else matters! We’re still best friends today.

Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television programs; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.
However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.
小题1:According to some advertisements, you ______ .
| A．have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks. |
| B．needn’t pay you money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks |
| C．must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks |
| D．will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks |
| A．read the literature of the country | B．read books and reports |
| C．do their work better | D．go to foreign countries |
| A．only for scientists and doctors | B．only for the students at school |
| C．for those people at home | D．for most people |
The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him. He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. The two of them worked as one---each needing the other to function in this fast-changing world.
That little example of true strength changed my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day. Suddenly I wasn’t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young.
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasn’t so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. I had a wonderful, supportive wife. I started to think---not only was I lucky to have it all, but so was that wonderful old couple, who, despite the trials and sufferings of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.
There are so many people out there just like that couple. My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age, walking arm-in-arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders. We should all have a little extra time and patience when it comes to helping our elder friends.
小题1:When the author was about to drive away, the couple __________________.
| A．got in his way | B．hit his car | C． entered the store | D．asked him for help |
| A．drive at a high speed | B．seldom think of his wife |
| C．be impolite to the blind | D．spend less time complaining |
| A．They lived a happier life than he. |
| B．They didn’t live a life without hardships. |
| C．They were admirable for their lasting love. |
| D．They won respect by walking together. |
| A．the author hated working on Saturdays |
| B．the author was happy with his wife |
| C．old couples were advised to walk in the sunset |
| D．many people like that couple are blind |

I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was 38 to leave its warmth and comfort, and didn’t want to face the problem that I’d let myself 39 for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of 40 .
I finished getting ready and tried to 41 . It didn’t work, so I decided that my 42 should go with me. We had a little time, so I thought we could practice parking. I 43 , with the wheel hitting the fence. After that, the little bit of confidence I’d had was 44 . I tried two more times, but didn’t 45 much. Then we headed to the test site.
I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just 46 time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my 47 . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some 48 and I realized something: something between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside. I had become 49 and confident.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite 50 . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I 51 it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second 52 next Thursday.
Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her 53 made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54 , looked kind of teary. I knew she was 55 for me.

| Anne responded on May 20, 2009 Julie, most of us are never going to achieve the heights you did as the CEO of a company. I just want to say that I was so touched by your transparency (坦诚). I haven’t been attacked publicly ever like you, but I’ve suffered from depression—just recently in fact. It helps a lot to hear personal stories, and it helped to read how you might have handled things differently. |
| Nancy responded on May 21, 2009 Something in Julie drew her to artwork during a very dark time in her journey. And later she stated that it’s beauty that keeps her going. Beauty and creativity can be very powerful in our lives. And it doesn’t surprise me that Julie was drawn to these naturally. Anne, maybe the artistic kinds of activities Julie used will support you well as you move beyond the depressive feelings you’re dealing with. |
| Anne responded on June 4, 2009 Nancy, thanks so much for taking the time to offer some great ideas for using creativity to help with depression. Actually during this time I’ve found that my creative work has been the one thing that’s brought me a lot of joy. |
| Julie responded on June 2, 2009 Nancy, thank you for your insights (深刻见解). Warmly, Julie. |
| Chris responded on May 31, 2009 I don’t normally comment on blogs, but this was a very insightful and transparent post (帖子). I could really feel that you were open and honest about everything you wrote about. Thanks for sharing and good luck with everything that you do. |
| Julie responded on June 9, 2009 Thanks, Chris. |
| Wendy responded on May 30, 2009 Julie, everything you shared here is inspiring. Thank you for having the courage to be so open. I love what you’re doing here. Keep it up! |
