举一反三
After my brother died in an accident, my mother was in deep sadness. I was only a four-year-old girl at the time, but I still understood the sudden shift in my mom’s attitude towards safety. Suddenly everything around us was potentially dangerous. Overnight, the world had gone from a playground to a dangerous zone. I grew up with a lot of limits and rules. I couldn’t walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t go to summer camp because what if something happened to me?
As I got older, the list of things of fear got longer. My whole life was divided into “things you should avoid”, and “things you needed to do in order to have a good, long life.” I became a natural worrier. I worry about things like getting cancer, losing my wallet, car accidents, earthquakes, and losing my job — disasters big and small, real and imagined.
The funny part is that you’d never know it by looking at my life. In fact, I’ve developed a rule for myself: If it scares me, then I have to do it at least once. I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle; I’ve traveled —a lot. I’ve performed stand-up comedy, and I’m planning my second wedding.
There’s something else I don’t usually talk about, but it’s a cornerstone in my belief: When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. At my mom’s funeral I remember making a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.
I worry that I may have betrayed(背叛) my mother by writing her in this light, but she has been a driving force in my life and, in the end I think she would have been proud of me. Courage isn’t a natural character of human beings. I believe that using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me or that make me uncomfortable, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do.
Even though I inherited (继承) my mother’s cautious nature. I’ve also come to believe that fear can be a good thing, if we face it. Believing that has made my world a less scary place.
小题1:In the writer’s childhood, the limits and rules were used to ______.| A．improve her behavior | B．develop her independence | | C．be in memory of her dead brother | D．protect her from possible danger |
小题2: How does the writer deal with the things that frighten her?| A．She just ignores them. | B．She faces up to them. | | C．She turns to her mother for help. | D．She does them with her friends. |
小题3:From the passage, we can learn that ______.| A．the writer failed in her first marriage | | B．nothing can make the writer afraid now | | C．frightening things made the writer lose her self-confidence | | D．the writer’s mother felt annoyed with her |
小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?| A．Mothers influence their children much. | | B．Fear is in fact not a bad thing. | | C．Facing fear bravely produces courage. | | D．The world is not as scary as people expect. |

Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what was the best way to celebrate. Should we throw her a party ? Should we take her on a trip ? We remembered that she had touched so many people’s lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute（献礼）to my grandmother.
We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother’s address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response（回应）surprised us. We compiled（编辑）these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.
The unusual thing about my grandmother’s friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother’s life.
I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one’s lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.

When I was a child, my mom liked to make food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night 36 when she made dinner after a long, 37 day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone 38 ! Yet all my dad did was to 39 his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I 40 him that night, but I do remember 41 him smear(涂上)butter on that toast and eat 42 bite!
43 I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom 44 to my dad for burning the toast. 45 I’ll never forget what he said: “Baby, I 46 burnt toast.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy 47 and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Son, your mom 48 a hard day at work today and she’s really 49 . And besides, a little burnt toast never 50 anyone!”
You know, life is full of imperfect things…and imperfect people. I’m not the best housekeeper or cook. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s 51 and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy and 52 relationship.
And this is my prayer for you today: you’ll learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and 53 them at the feet of God, because 54 , he’s the only one who will be able to give you a relationship where burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker(煞风景)！
We could extend(推广)this to any relationship in fact 55 understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!
