One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow. the little bird had flown into our open garage. Then I the bird before I saw it. “What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound. “It’s coming from the .”my wife, Anita, said. “Maybe it’s one of the little .” I looked into the garage. No children at all. But there was that sound again, coming from right up there. And that’s I saw the sparrow. It was flying just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly to get out, but couldn’t see the way out was not up, but and and out through the garage door. So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head the ceiling. I tried to terrify it out, but only succeeded in driving it into the open space between the door and the ceiling. Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet it could get outside, but that only seemed to it more. “Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes,” Anita .“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.” We went back into the house, where we to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling. Then suddenly, it was and our uninvited guest was gone. I’ve that little sparrow through the years, and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people. We think we were to fly ever upward, and we don’t even consider the that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit. Once we figure out that we can make without banging(碰)our heads against ceilings, we can usually save ourselves much .

Sharing Beauty It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry. I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door. When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.” For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty. Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store. Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around. 小题1:The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.A.admire the sunset | B.cheer her up | C.offer some help | D.have a chat | 小题2:Four years later, the author ______.A.found her dream job | B.put an end to her marriage | C.worked in a laundry room | D.lived in the same community | 小题3:After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.A.disappointed | B.puzzled | C.inspired | D.overjoyed |

On Saturday, Feb 12, 2000, two things happened that changed my life. First of all, my baby sister got married. She was 26 this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister. I was happy, but also sad. Gone were the days of me bossing(支使) her around. My bossy behavior had once earned me the nickname Lucy. If you’re a fan of Peanuts, then you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister. At one point, I left the wedding reception to get some air. I went outside and walked to a nearby playground. I’m not sure how long I sat there before my sister came and joined me. We talked about how we were both grown up. As she wiped a tear from my eye, she lovingly said, “You’ll always be Lucy to me.” We hugged. Then, my cousin Mike walked over to tell us that it was time to cut the cake, and the second thing that changed my life that day came to pass. “Hey, did you guys hear that Charles Schulz died today?” he said casually – as if it were no big deal. Then he took my sister’s arm and they turned to head back to the reception hall. “Coming?” they asked. “In a minute,” I replied, and I sat back down on the bench, dizzy from what Mike had just told me. How could Charles Schulz be dead? He was my creator! He was almost like a father to me! I had lost so many things on that day. My innocence had slipped away like a thief in the night. It was gone before I could do anything about it, taking with it all the treasures that I had held in my heart. I felt myself grow up in an instant. I saw, for the first time, what I really was – a 30-year-old woman with a husband of my own, and soon, a child of my own. I took a deep breath and stood up from the bench. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I hadn’t missed the cutting of the cake. It was the day that my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest – the day that Lucy died, and I was born. 小题1:Why did the author feel sad at her sister’s wedding?A.She was afraid of change. | B.Her sister was getting ready to move far away from her. | C.Her wonderful childhood with her sister had become a thing of the past. | D.She had nobody to turn to for help with housework. | 小题2:When the author’s cousin told her that Charles Schulz had died, she __________.A.felt a great sense of loss | B.burst into tears | C.thought he was joking | D.got angry at him for his attitude | 小题3:What is implied when the author says that “Lucy died, and I was born”?A.The author has realized how her sister must have felt about her and decided to change. | B.Lucy no longer matters to the author. | C.The author doesn’t like the nickname Lucy anymore. | D.The author is no longer sad and ready to face the fact that she is an adult. | 小题4:The best title of the passage can be __________.A.Two things changing my life | B.My baby sister’s wedding | C.Not Lucy anymore | D.Not innocent anymore |

Each morning during fifteen- minute bath, I determined to cultivate a big, happy smile. I found out it had to be an honest-to-goodness smile from down deep , an outward expression of happiness from within! Let’s see how the smile muscles me during the day. I would think of the things I had to be for, work up a big smile and then enter. It people when I passed them on the street to give them a smile. Give every living soul you meet the best smile you have smiled in your life, and see how much better you feel and look. It’s one of the best ways to worrying, and start living. When I began to do this, I found I became more welcome everywhere.
