Ever since Skylar 31 of Disneyland from TV, she 32 her nickels and dimes (零钱) in a piggy bank in 33 of visiting there someday. Her parents 34 her with a trip when she was four, however, and didn"t even 35 her to use her own money!
When Skylar returned. It was 36. She decided to buy presents with her 37. But she also learned from announcements on TV about a local 38 shelter called "The Road House". She 39 asked her mother what "homeless" meant and why those children 40 coats and warm clothes. She couldn"t seem to get the homeless off her mind.
Her mother took her to the store to buy 41. Instead of buying for herself or her family, however, she 42 to purchase a warm coat, socks and gloves for a little girl in the 43 .She also wanted to buy a doll, but when she 44 she didn"t have enough money, she left the doll 45 .
When Skylar got home, she chose one of her 46 dolls and put it into the box with the other items she bought that day. She could hardly wait for Christmas! Skylar was thinking about going to the shelter and giving her carefully 47 gifts to a homeless child. She was much filled with joy at 48 helping someone else.
"Perhaps it"s good to have a beautiful mind, 49 an even greater gift is to have a beautiful heart," says Nobel Laureate John Hash. Young Skylar has a beautiful heart. It is one 50 , above all else, which makes beautiful people.

点评：文章讲述了一个故事，告诉我们一个道理：有善良的心灵很重要，但是有“心”更能使人美丽。我们不光要有想法，还要有把想法付诸行动的“心”。 本文要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知识，这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。 |
举一反三
Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered ,“Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
“Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples(波纹) go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
小题1: Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?| A．Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. | | B．Because the writer was insincere. | | C．Because the student was naughty. | | D．Because the answer was difficult to understand. |
小题2: According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?| A．The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. | | B．The writer’s answer made the student confused. | | C．In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. | | D．The writer annoyed the student who asked the question. |
小题3: We can infer from the text that .| A．the writer was also a good teacher in school | | B．the writer often plays with her students beside a pond | | C．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students | | D．the writer often accompanies the students on their way home. |

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It"s like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 小题1: .
Once I heard a bald(秃头的) man said. “Whenever I enter a room, 小题2: I see is hair." Once you"ve 小题3: what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will 小题4: make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 小题5: , or forget about it and 小题6: the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively 小题7: life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 小题8: remain happy.
The first 小题9: is gratitude. All happy people are 小题10: . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 小题11: , but it"s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret, is 小题12: that happiness is a byproduct(副产品) of something else. The most obvious 小题13: are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 小题14: studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 小题15: to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 小题16: has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 小题17: a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy, it should 小题18: this truth: if you choose to find the 小题19: in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 小题20: your decision to make.
| 小题21: | | A．different | B．missing | C．short | D．broken |
|
| 小题22: | | A．nothing | B．none | C．all | D．anything |
|
| 小题23: | | A．determined | B．predicted | C．assumed | D．imagined |

When I was younger it seemed that the super hero was Batman or Spiderman. As I grew up, I looked to real people with some of these qualities to be my super hero including being strong, honest, friendly, brave, skilled, hardworking, and reliable. The person I think of when I hear these words is my dad.
My dad is one of the toughest people I have ever met. He has been through it all. When I was five, 60 percent of his body was burned. In 1999 he fell from a tree, breaking his arm and shattering his ankle. In 2004, he had a liver transplant (移植) after being on the list for six years after a bad blood transfusion that gave him Hepatitis C. Now, my dad is 45 years old and feels better than he has in 15 years.
My dad is one of the most reliable people I know. Anything I ask of him, he does. Whenever he tells me he is going to do something, it is always done before I get home from work. Whenever I need my dad, he is there. When I was ten and he told me my grandmother was going to die, I felt really down. He was the one there trying to cheer me up.
My dad has worked hard for everything he has. At home, he is always busy doing projects and has painted every room in our house. After our shop was built, he constructed an office you would think a professional built. When I do something stupid, he helps me fix it. Of course, he does his complaining, but I know he likes fixing things just as much as I like tearing them up.
My dad has been one of the greatest parts of my life. I have learned a lot from watching him and I don’t believe I will ever meet anyone like him. I hope when I grow up, I can possess the same qualities as my dad, and have someone look up to me as a good role model. This is why my dad is my hero.
