Never before had I imagined I should have the opportunity to live with so many girls．Would they 36 such a single “Hi” from me?

became the 40 atmosphere in the dormitory．
To my surprise， 41 such a situation，I did not feel a sense of 42 ．With time going on，we got to know each other deeper．I was 43 to find that in deep soul we all had great dreams and belonged to the same 44 ．
However，not long before the 45 was disturbed by my own upset of mind for study pressure．What I was 46 about seemed to have 47 to do with them and what they were doing and talking about seemed so far away from me．However，one incident changed my 48 and made me treasure this kind of 49 better and more confident in our friendship．
One day，when I was leaving the teachers’ office，it was in complete silence and frightening 50 ．At my dormitory gate，I was startled （使惊奇）to find there still 51 a little light glimmering in the darkness，so faint but yet so clear．Just under the 52 of the light，I went to the room without any difficulty．They were in sound sleep，leaving the 53 light on in the calm world．Tears rolled down my cheeks．
I know 54 that we all like tranquility，both in environment and in our mind．It is the care that 55 all the misunderstandings and unpleasantness．

举一反三
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled，pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness．If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness．But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain．
As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness．They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage， raising children， professional achievement，religious commitment，self improvement．
Ask a bachelor （单身汉）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，excitement．Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing features．
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation．I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild．
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations．It liberates time：now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely 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 liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．
小题1:According to the author，a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ．| A．he finds more fun in dating than in marriage | | B．he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single | | C．he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities | | D．he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement |
小题2:Raising children，in the author’s opinion，is ．| A．a moral duty | B．a thankless job | | C．a source of inevitable pain | D．a rewarding task |
小题3:From the last paragraph，we learn that envy sometimes stems from ．| A．hatred | B．misunderstanding | C．prejudice | D．ignorance |
小题4:To understand what true happiness is one must ．| A．be able to distinguish happiness from fun | | B．make every effort to liberate oneself from pain | | C．put up with pain under all circumstances | | D．have as much run as possible during one’s lifetime |
小题5:What is the author trying to tell us? | A．It is important to make commitments． | | B．One must know how to attain happiness． | | C．Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain | | D．It is pain that leads to happiness． |

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 36 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 37 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 38 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 39 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 40 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 41 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 42 her. I was 43 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 44 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 45 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen 46 , but it’s really there. Love is 47 .”
I listened carefully but I 48 her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly 49 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 50 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 51 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 52 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Sometimes doing something for yourself - even shopping--can give others a lift. That"s the case at charity shops and non-profit stores such as Ten Thousand Villages which helps provide skilled workmen with money in developing countries.
Their handicrafts(手工艺品) are sold throughout North America in 180 stores, 95 of them operated by Ten Thousand Villages.
"People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things, but then they"re drawn to us by the mission(慈善的行动) ," says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox.
"It just feels good to be making a difference when you"re buying something."
In the Alexandria, Virginia shop, generals display windows draw you in. They are filled with practical, attractive home furnishings in blue and white, all international in mood.
Once inside though, it"s clear that this isn"t just another import store. On the wall behind the cash register is the following note:
"Ten Thousand Villagers provides necessary, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Your Buying Makes a Difference. "
The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA run by the Mennonite Church, which is based in Akron, Pennsylvania.
Currently, 60,000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores, with all proceeds (收益) re-invested in the organization.
Management of the Alexandria shop is overseen by an all-volunteer board of directors. More than 40 additional volunteers help doing everything from working the register to unpacking stock.
Maria Yannopoulos got involved after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer. "Since we are non-profit, we are really looking for value because the more we sell, the more jobs we can create. Giving someone job rather than charity helps in so many ways. "

Long ago in a small town, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.
When he arrived, he bounced (跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “This is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”

One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. Some people, however, from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or teachers or firefighters, but most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem.
Choosing a job takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers to give you information about jobs. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.
