“Now ,”Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are g oing to discover our professions .”
The class seems to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be _36 _. “Yes, you will all be searching for your future 37 . Each of you will have to 38 someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”
Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This _39_ I had to go to interview a true-blue newspap er reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him_40_ able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?”I shook my head.
“How about some 41_ ?”I shook my head again .
Finally , I thought he realized I was 42 , and I got my first big tip as a 43 : “Never,never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you’ll run into. ”After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from 44 in class. I got an A on the entire project.
Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I _45 _Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn’t __46__me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and 47 all my life I had to run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. _48__gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 49 .
For the past 12 years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career, __50 __ stories from murders to airplane crashes and 51 choosing my strongest area. 52 _ I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been __53__V irg inia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.
I get 54 all the time: “How did you pick journalism?”
“Well, you see, there was a teacher…”I just wish I could 55 her.

A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modelling 36 in your life. Little did I know you were 37 every penny you earned to go to 38 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 39 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were buried 40 piles of law books. I was 41 .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 42 ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know. Moms could be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept 43 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 44 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 45 and a Mom with five kids. I was exhausted just watching you in action. With your words of wisdom in my youthful mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 46 . I set out to live my life filled with 47 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I constantly found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 48 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 49 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 50 it. So, get to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes mostly because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” or “I’ll be happy when I earn that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you want.
This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”
It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.
Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.
I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.
小题1:The second paragraph mainly tells us that people seek happiness_______.A．in the same way | B．in different ways | C．by working hard | D．by taking drugs |
小题2: What does the underlined phrase “This thinking” refer to?| A．The thinking of being promoted. | | B．The giving up of happiness. | | C．The process and journey of finding happiness. | | D．The misunderstanding of happiness. |
小题3:The underlined word “stimulus” in para.4 probably means_______.| A．something causes an action | B．somethin g helps to expand | | C．attention | D．improvement |
小题4: The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to________.| A．tell people how to enjoy happiness | | B．encourage people to seek happiness | | C．express his attitude towards happiness | | D．criticize the wrong ideas about happiness |

I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close to animals，it wasn’t remarkable(不平常的)when I decided to become a vet(兽医)．Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college，training to look after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases.
Much to my surprise，I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an area of animal medicine where a vet’s work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine. As we know，many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and bird flu.
Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career.
After graduation，I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of bird flu. This is an illness that attacks birds，but humans can catch the disease if they are in close contact with infected birds. Though the job is dangerous，it makes me proud that vets and other animal disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these unknown human diseases
小题1:The writer wanted to become a vet mainly because______.| A．he did well in all necessary subjects | | B．he wanted to help animals | | C．he was close to animals in his early life | | D．he wanted to find cures for human diseases |
小题2:What made the writer particularly like the course of public health care was that________.| A．it was both important and interesting | | B．it could help him connect many human diseases with animals | | C．it made a vet’s work very much like a doctor’s | | D．it could help human medicine by studying animal diseases |
小题3:What can be followed if this passage continues?| A．The writer’s happy family life. | | B．How the writer did research work in studying bird flu. | | C．How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates. | | D．What difficulty the writer met in the research work. |
小题4:Which of the following is implied in the passage?| A．Animals with infectious diseases should be killed. | | B．Keeping animals is dangerous to humans. | | C．Dangerous as a vet’s job is，it is significant to the human race. | | D．Animal researchers work in the same way as human doctors. |
小题5:Which of the following statements is NOT true?| A．Being a vet is helpful to both animals and humans. | | B．Vets can cure both animals and humans. | | C．Vets helped identify animal resources for SARS. | | D．Both SARS and bird flu are infectious diseases coming from animals. |
