How many of us can really ever thank our mothers for what they do for us? I am now 40 years old, so it"s been a lot of years that I"ve had my mom"s loving and direction behind me pushing me gently when I need it.
When I was ill, mom would take care of me . When I had a terrible dream, she would never me for stealing into her bed. When I graduated from college, she took in me as I walked across that stage. When life would get me down, she would tell me that ,it"s always dark the down ,She"s always been my greatest keeping-me up when life tried to defeat me. She never told me that anything was impossible or that I set my goals too high. With a gentle guiding hand she got me back on the right:, if I faltered (摇晃) .
A thank you will never be enough for the kindness and love she has shown to us over the years. My mom _ more than flowers, candy or other gifts. There isn"t a gift in the world that could ever my thanks for everything she has done for me over the years.

The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, and 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(不可避免的) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), 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 （解放）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 is reluctant to take on family responsibilities | | B．he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single | | C．he finds more fun in dating than in marriage | | D．he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement |
小题2:From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .| A．hatred | B．misunderstanding | C．prejudice | D．ignorance |
小题3:What is the author trying to tell us?| A．Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. | | B．One must know how to attain happiness. | | C．It is important to make commitments. | | D．It is pain that leads to happiness. |

I learned all about taking responsibility from my mother’s tough love. My mom had a wonderful way of helping you up and realize that your life is going to be what you make it.
She had this circular way of you took responsibility for your decisions and the person you would . She would say,“ It" s your .” “What you want and what you get are sometimes two different things.” And then, “No one ever said life was fair.” And she would these comments together in such a way that you could never an argument, and yet, the was that you realized your life is going to be what you make it.
So I might go to my mom and say, “I’d like to football”. And she would say, “Well, it"s your life. If you want to go out there and get and hurt and break your knees and limp around the rest of your life, that" s fine.” That is I would say, “Well, you know, that won’t . I" m really fast.” And she would reply, “Well, we don’t really have the money.” And then I would , “Yes but that" s not fair.” And she would reply, “ Well, life isn’t .” Then I would say, “But I’ve been itching to." And she would reply, “Yes, but what you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.”
It was the combination of these that allowed my mother to lead me down the right path under her but let me feel as if I was making the decisions my own. The sum total of that was, in the end, you’re for the life you lead. That" s the best advice I’ve ever gotten.

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn"t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic; motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. "I"m awfully sorry," I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn"t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
小题1:The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________ | A．she might be recognized | | B．asking for help looked silly | | C．she was normal and independent | | D．being found blind was embarrassing |
小题2:After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.| A．began to run | | B．hit a person as usual | | C．hit a lamppost by accident | | D．was caught by something |
小题3:At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.| A．stopped a big lorry | | B．stopped the wrong bus | | C．made no attempt to stop the bus | | D．was not noticed by other people |
小题4:What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus? _________| A．Other vehicles also stopped there. | | B．It was unreliable for making judgments. | | C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl. | | D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus |
