Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 31 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 32 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 33 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 34.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there _35 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 36 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had _37_ her. I was 38_ 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 __39_, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt _40__. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen _41 , but it’s really there. Love is 42_.”
I listened carefully but I __43_ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly _44 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __45_. 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 46__ on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t _47 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”_48_ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 49 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just _50_ in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

举一反三
You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.
You can"t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn"t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband"s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can"t be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that"s what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn"t buy a pair of shoes that you don"t like or that don"t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don"t make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions - we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don"t dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.
小题1:What’s the best title of this passage?| A．Choose to Be Happy | B．Choose Your Emotions | | C．Pretend to Be Happy | D．Find Happiness |
小题2:The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is ________.| A．she can depend on her husband to find happiness | | B．balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an art | | C．one can’t rely on someone else to make himself or herself happy | | D．happiness can be influenced by outside forces |
小题3:Why did the writer mention buying shoes?| A．To use it as an example to show the importance of choosing to be happy. | | B．To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes. | | C．To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit. | | D．To help to move to the next paragraph easily. |
小题4:The writer suggests that we should ________.| A．let others control our feelings | | B．respond immediately to others’ words | | C．pay more attention to words than actions | | D．hold back our feelings properly |

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with the 36 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 37 , but what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 38 diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 39 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 40 that he does not want to 41 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.
44 I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but 45 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 46 that my sister might read it.
The biggest 47 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about him in my diary, he would never know. 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might
50 her blog and get angry.
There are also 51 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary “ Nobody cares about me …”, no one would 52 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly 53 and tell her how much they 54 her. Blog helps people 55 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(责任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child——things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
小题1:According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that .| A．life for a child is fairly easy | | B．a child is always loved whatever he does | | C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return | | D．only children are interested in life |
小题2:The main idea of the passage is that .| A．life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains | | B．young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard | | C．childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life | | D．one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life |
小题3:The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss .| A．examples of successful young men | | B．how to build up one’s position in society | | C．joys and pains of old people | | D．what to do when one has problems in life |

I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like 36_ and straightforward .And it’s still what 37 a man a good citizen .This is my secret ,and I try to live by .
I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five year, 38 there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers have to be rough and tumble (乱作一团) fellows to be able to take it in New York. You’ve got to be 39 to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day . Because taxi drivers are tough, people get the 40 impression that they are bad .Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will act as 41 fellows. You read in the papers almost every week 42 a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or like that people leave in their 43 . If they weren’t hones, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers. One time .I found an emerald (翡翠的) ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of suitcases that day , so I went back to where I had 44 . It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her 45 to her. I didn’t get much as “thank you”. 46 I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she 47 .
I was born and raised in Ireland until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I 48 several jobs to earn a few dollars before joining the army in Word War I. After being discharged (退伍), I bought my own car and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy 49 , but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit 50 for a rainy day (一时之需). In all my years of driving a taxi, I have never had 51 with the public, not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong (顽固的) once in a while, I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.
People ask me about tips. As far as I know, 52 everyone will give you something , because most Americans are 53 generous . I always try to be nice to everyone, whether they 54 or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish (教区 ). I try to act toward others like I think god wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time, and the 55 I try , the easier it gets.

As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange 36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 37 me so much. There was never total 38 , but a streetlight or passing car lights 39 clothes hung over a chair take on the 40 of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 41 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no 42 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My 43 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 44 very still so that the "enemy" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 45 on the way home from school. Every morning I get on the school bus right near my home--that was no 46 . After school, 47 , when all the buses were 48 up along the street, I was afraid that I"d get on the wrong one, and be taken to some 49 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or museum, I wouldn"t 50 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears 51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or 52 by others. Being popular was so important to me 53 , and the fear of not being liked was a 54 one.
One of the processes of growing up is being able to 55 and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
