Once I left home to hitchhike(搭便车)to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t , and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different—not so outwardly sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was with us, was wearing my clothes. And my seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful , but I was the only person who could fill my . She made me realize that even with my , —and they were many—I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.

举一反三
In the face of tragedy，you must of course let yourself feel: Cry without holding back, shake with fear, yell out in anger, accept and follow your feelings. This is part of the wise approach to tragedy: The Upward Path —the feeling of emotions, the acceptance of them, and the coupling of the emotional mind with wisdom. Along this path, you"ll take the experience —no matter how sad or upsetting —as a learning event, just as a11 other points on your journey will prove to be. While tragic, you must recognize this is still a chance for all involved to grow. You should let both sadness and joy, fear and courage, dark and light fill your world, and learn to find your steady, calm center in the midst of the opposing forces. This is the Upward Path. Use the event as a chance to gain balance and discover wisdom —the wisdom of love and of letting go, of non-attachment and non-resistance, and using this experience to eventually help others in need of guidance.
Being able to relate to others who have also experienced tragedy and inspire in them hope — of recovery, and of moving forward —is perhaps the greatest gift you can receive from tragedy. Turn the negative into positive, the pain into connection. After you"ve taken appropriate time to be sad, to feel your own pain, you should make it your work，your goal, your purpose to connect with others who need help. Show them how you"ve experienced feelings, achieved
balance，and gained wisdom that you would never have otherwise had the chance to learn.
FEEL, but do not FEED on tragedy. Rather, let it inspire you to go beyond the person who you were before. With demise comes renewal, so let this loss be also your rebirth. No matter how hopeless it seems, no matter how difficult this becomes, you have the power to transform yourself into someone greater than you ever knew you could be.
小题1:When following the Upward Path, the person facing tragedy should _______.| A．free his emotions | | B．hold back his feelings | | C．fill his world with positive ideas | | D．give in to tragedy and all opposing forces |
小题2:According to the author，the greatest gift one gets from tragedy is being able to _______.| A．seek solutions from others | | B．forgive others and move on | | C．stay calm and resist change | | D．understand and help others |
小题3:The purpose of the passage is to _______.| A．analyze the causes of tragedy | | B．suggest a way of dealing with tragedy | | C．tell people how to prevent tragedy | | D．encourage people to build friendship after tragedy |

"He who can have patience can have what he wants," said Benjamin Franklin. They say patience is a virtue (美德) seldom found in women and never in men. This may or may not be true, but it"s fair to say that there is nobody on the earth who couldn"t benefit from more patience.
Patience is necessary for success.
It is said that "all good things come to those who wait". Many of the great scientists have remarked that their scientific discoveries came only through patient perseverance (坚持). Edison said, "Genius was 99% perspiration and only 1% inspiration." Patience teaches us to value the effort and not just the success. It is a mistake to think that happiness can only be obtained through achievements.
Patience brings peace of mind.
When we desire certain outcomes (结果), we"ll have no peace of mind. Even if one desire is filled, the nature of desire is that more will appear in its place. There is no end to human desires. Patience means we will work with an attitude of detachment (超然).
Patience can transform suffering into joy.
Throughout life we suffer injustice; the best healer is patience. Through being patient and accepting our situation, it"s quite possible for our suffering to be transformed.
Sri Chinmoy said, "If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy."
小题1:Whose saying supports the idea that patience makes a person joyful?| A．Franklin"s | B．Edison"s | C．Chinmoy"s | D．Einstein"s |
小题2:In the writer"s opinion, _____ .| A．human desires will easily be filled | | B．patience is a virtue seldom found in a person | | C．happiness can only be obtained through success | | D．patience is the best medicine of suffering |
小题3:How is the whole passage organized?| A．General-detail-general. | B．General-detail. | | C．Detail-general-detail. | D．Detail-general. |
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?| A．We All Need Patience | B．Patience Means Success | | C．Benefits of Patience | D．We Should Not Be patient |

Near the village, there is an old famous temple. Some people want to build new houses where the temple now stands, because they can find no other area to build them, while others disagree with them. They meet to decide how to solve the problem. Here are their opinions about it.

Nowadays the problem of the generation gap is becoming more and more serious. Poor relationship between parents and their children are very common.
Whether we like it or not, our parents are responsible for us at least until we’re out of high school. So rather than get upset about that fact, maybe we should focus on some ways to make our relationship better. The best way, in my opinion, is to learn to really communicate with my parents.
When I find myself arguing with my mom and dad, I try to stop. If I can manage to stop myself from talking, I usually find that I can calm down quickly. I guess I’m usually acting out of emotion rather than logic(逻辑). But if I can stop arguing for a minute, it seems that my opinion changes and I start to realize that I’m a bit childish. Emotionally I may still be upset, but logically I understand that yelling(大叫大嚷) and fighting surely won’t make things better.
Once I’ve stopped arguing, I look at my parents in the eye. You’d be amazed at how much easier it is to communicate with your parents when you’ve actually looking at them. Looking away doesn’t do much of anything except for giving them the impression that I’m not listening or that I don’t care. It’s much easier to see things eye to eye when you’re physically seeing them eye to eye.
Finally, I listen to what they’re saying (or at least I try). Communication can’t happen unless both sides hear and listen to each other. There is nothing wrong with my hearing, but that doesn’t mean I always listen to the sounds that people are making. When I argue with my parents, I can physically hear what they’re saying without mentally listening to it.
Whether I admit it or not, my parents’ experience can actually help them give me some pretty sound advice at times. I don’t always agree with them, but I think it’s safe to say that it has truly helped our relationship in the long run.
小题1:What can we learn from the passage?| A．Listening is better than yelling and fighting. | | B．It is impolite to see your parents eye to eye. | | C．Be careful when you take your parents’ advice. | | D．Parents are sometimes easy to get upset. |
小题2: Parents and children can communicate only when_______.| A．both sides stop yelling and fighting | | B．both sides start thinking what to say next | | C．both sides agree with each other | | D．both sides can listen to each other |
小题3:Which of the following advice is NOT mentioned in the passage?| A．Looking | B．Smiling warmly | | C．Listening | D．Stopping arguing |
小题4:The author thinks we should first _______ when arguing with our parents.| A．look at their eyes | B．fight for the truth | | C．stop arguing | D．talk in a low voice |
