| I grew up poor - living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream. My dream was to be a 39 . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety - mile - per - hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high - school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever. It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income - cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it. Then I realized I would have to 46 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn"t be playing. I was 47 about this. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 48 as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "Your 49 days are limited. You can"t afford to waste them." I stood before him with my head 50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 51 his disappointment in me. "How much are you going to make at this job?" he demanded. "$ 3.25 an hour," I replied. "Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 52 ?" he asked. That 53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 54 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 55 of my dreams. | |||

| Thanks a Million, Dad I was born disabled．A difficult birth, feet first, my head stuck．By my first birthday, I couldn"t stand or walk． When I was three, the doctor told dad I had cerebral palsy (脑瘫)．A loss of oxygen to my brain had destroyed bra  in signals to the right side of my body．But no son of my dad" s was going to be disabled．Every morning before breakfast and every evening before bed, my dad placed me on the bedroom floor to exercise my right leg．The muscles were shrunk and twisted together．Back and forth up and down, my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into shape． But my dad" s exercise of passion didn"t stop there．For my 13th birthday, he threw me a special party．When everybody was gone, he brought me to open a large box, it was a-set of boxing gloves． We put them on．My dad kept on beating me mercilessly．Each time I tried to get up, leather kissed my nose, eyes and jaw．I "begged him to stop. He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world. That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn"t picked for Little League. Two weeks later．Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League, and every kid played．Dad coached us and made me a pitcher (棒球投手)． The power of my  dad" s love guaranteed I  walked and more．In high school, I becam e a football star．In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn"t t have cerebral palsy after all．He explained how and where the doctor" s forceps  (镊子) at birth had damaged my brain. My da  d never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago．But all that counts is the bottomline．After all his madness, on this Father" s Day, like every Father" s Day, I" m no longer disabled． | |||
| 1．What caused the author" s disability? | |||
| A．A failed operation． B．The doctor"s forceps． C．An accident in a game． D．Shrunken and twisted muscles． | |||

| I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun．You may think People ,n such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others．If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness． Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness．The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common．Fun is what we experience during an act．Happiness is what we experience after an act．It is a deep, long-lasting emotion． Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh．But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends． I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun．They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir(回忆录) after memoir, they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness． Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features． Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness．They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want．Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night" s sleep．I don"t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children． Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to．It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness．It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless．And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all． | |||
| 1．What is the passage mainly about? | |||
| A．Fun and happiness． B．Success and satisfaction． C．Marriage and commitment． D．Entertainment and responsibility． | |||
| 2．The author probably agrees that ____． | |||
| A．fun creates long - lasting satisfaction B．long - standing fun may lead to happiness C．fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting D．fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness | |||
| 3．What does the author think of marriage? | |||
| A．It ends in pain． B．It means commitment． C．It affords greater fun． D．It leads to raising children． | |||
| 4．If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____． | |||
| A．will start a business B．won" t place too much value on money C．will seek for freedom D．won"t devote himself to his family | |||

| Take a trip across America,by way of an advice column (专栏),and you"ll find plenty worth celebrating.I once asked my readers in the Chicago SunTimes,where I took the place of Ann Landers,to name the person to whom they would say"I owe you one."Victor La Porte,45,wrote to me from his hospital bed about his kid brother,Tony. For three years,Victor had been terribly sick,His arms were black and blue.He often passed out.His kidneys(肾) had failed,and dialysis(肾透析) wasn"t working.Victor was dying. Doctors said a transplant(移植) would help,and Tony kept offering his kidney,but Victor refused.He didn"t want to put his brother through the pain or the risk of living with one kidney. Tony insisted."Hey,I love you,"he kept saying.Transplant doctors explained the reason God gave us two kidneys is that we can offer one.It took a long time to persuade Victor,but finally he agreed.Several times the brothers went to the hospital,only to have the operation put off because of Victor"s infections(感染)．But Tony never thought of backing out.After each disappointment,he announced,"We"re coming back!"He even got Victor a Tshirt that read I"M NO QUITTER. Finally the operations were arranged.The one on Tony was harder.Doctors had to remove part of his rib to get the kidney out.His recover took longer than Victor"s, and he had more pain. Victor wrote:"Because of Tony"s unselfishness,I have a chance to see my four children grow up.I"ll never know my brother"s pain,fears and feelings.All I know is the love we share.How can I tell him thanks?Maybe by letting everyone know I have the greatest brother in the world." | |||
