I remember as a small child people would often ask me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?"
     Well, it 31  being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, a policeman, a lawyer... As I grew older my dreams for the future  32 . When, at last, I was in college, I had my 33 set on becoming a preacher (牧师) like my father.  34  I studied and prepared for that life. I reached the 35 in the end and I was preaching  36 full-time for much of my adult life.
     However, for many, there is a "thief" that goes around stealing our 37 . Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the 38  thief is usually ourselves.
     We find 39 just about reaching the top, and a "small" 40  inside says, "You’ll never 41 it""You can’t possibly do this." On and on the "small" voice 42 our failure. Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are 43 . It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable (极宝贵的) 44 . When we learn these lessons well, we are ready for 45  
     The message I always gave my children was that you 46  do anything that your heart desires. Remember the saying, "Nothing is 47 to a willing heart." There are 48  "overnight" successes, but with determination, they will arrive. The life you dream of 49 in the end .Then in your heart, believe it will happen to you. Then work, work, work. You’ll get the picture.
     So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone 50 it from you —especially yourself.

举一反三
When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father work outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood --- his coat thrown  aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and a pair of gloves.
“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hard to be cold.”
Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.
One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.
After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.
“Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.
“Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” he replied.
“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”
Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.
But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.
Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.”
I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.
Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

A.it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life
B.it is very hard to live a real life
C.it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life
D.it is so easy to make a living
小题4:What is the author’s attitude toward work?
A.Do it well to serve others.
B.To earn enough money to make life better.

I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a sportsman. Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be.” He had made an inspirational (有灵感的) point. Am I over the hill ? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“You are not getting older, you are getting better.” Says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you, I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词). In fact, a poet name Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
Grow old along with me !
The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend(混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher(哲学家) was right when he said , “old is always fifteen years from now.”
小题1:The author seems to tell us in Paragraph 1 that ______.
A.time alone will tellB.time goes by quickly
C.time will show what is right D.time makes one forget the past.
小题2:When the author turned fifty, people around him ________ .
A.tried to comfort himB.got inspiration with him
C.were friendlier with himD.found him more talkative
小题3:The author considers his fifty years of life _________.
A.peacefulB.ordinaryC.satisfactoryD.regretful
小题4:We can infer from the passage that ________ .
A.the old should lead a simple life
B.the old should face the fact of aging
C.the old should take more exercise
D.the old should fill themselves with curiosity
小题5:Which of the following statements is WRONG?_______.
A.It’s hard for the author to jump over the six-feet high-jump bar now.
B.The author is optimistic about his future.
C.the author used to think 50 was far away from him.
D.Most elephants live less than 50 years.

Emanuel’s father liked to declare he’d spent ages by the sea, breathing seawater. Now, away from the sea, in the hospital, his body just looked like a beached fish. His condition went from bad to worse. The doctor came from saying, “He’ll be home in a day,” “He’ll be home in a week,” to “He will be home in a month.”
When Emanuel was a teenager, if he ever seemed bored with the pier(码头), his father would shout, “What ? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later, when he suggested Emanuel take a job at the pier after high school, the boy almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And before Emanuel went to war, when he talked of marrying Maggie and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?”
And now, here he was, Emanuel helped out at the pier, working evenings after his taxi job, doing his father’s labor.
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later that children understand: their stories and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers.
One night his father, lying in hospital, was practically too weak to speak. Others comforted him. “Your old man will pull through. He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.”
When the news came that his father had died, Emanuel felt heart-broken.
In the following weeks, Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there .She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two .One night, when Emanuel offered to help with the dishes, she said. “Your father will put them away.” Emanuel put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said softly, “Dad’s gone.”
“Gone where?” murmured Mum.
小题1:Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a.Emanuel’s father fell ill.         
b.Emanuel helped out at pier.
c.Emanuel went to the war.
d.Emanuel wished to be an engineer.
e.  Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused state
A.bacdeB.dcabeC.bcedaD.decba
小题2:In Paragraph 4, the writer inplies that       
A.Children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to them
B.Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ support
C.Children often feel regretful because they leave their parents
D.Children like moving away from their parents
小题3:The underlined phrase “pull through” can probably be replaced by ________
A.wake upB.give upC.pick upD.get up
小题4:The last paragraph mainly tells us that      
A.Emanuel’s mother was at a loss at her husband’s death.
B.Emanuel often helped his mother to wash the dishes.
C.Emanuel lived with his mother and often comforted her.
D.Emanuel’s mother doesn’t like to listen to the radio.
