My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 21 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 22 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 23 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 24 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 25 I, consider this 26 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 27 nonsense. As an old saying_28_: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not __29__anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that _30__one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say __31_about Beckham’s good looks
If we close our eyes, ___32__in deep thought, we can find that the things__33__us to be in true happy, sad or moved ___34__a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial(表面) things , ___35__we will find that we have not really gained anything ___36__ our first impression had blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant___37___ we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great___38___. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it _39___us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have __40__.

解析

略

举一反三

You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．
Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．
When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．
小题1: The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.

A．make a comparison	B．offer an evidence
C．introduce a topic	D．describe a daily scene

小题2: How can negative people have effect on us?

A．By influencing our emotion．	B．By telling us the nature of life．
C．By changing our ways of thinking．	D．By comparing their attitudes to life with ours．

小题3: Some negative people base their happiness on _______.

A．other people’s pity for them	B．making other people unhappy
C．building up a positive attitude	D．other people’s respect for them

小题4: According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ____.

A．change negative people’s attitudes to life

B．show our dissatisfaction to negative people

C．make negative people feel ashamed of themselves

D．communicate with negative people as little as possible

Last year．I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC．I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended．Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her．But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money．I just need help finding the post office．”
In an instant, I realized what I had done．I acted with prejudice―I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be．I hated what I saw in myself．
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant．I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15．I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister．Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble(卑微的)jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer．
In my own life, I have experienced prejudice．I remember a time―at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me．
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been ,and to lose sight of where I want to be going．That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness．She reminded me of my belief in humility(谦虚)．By the way, I helped that lady to the post office．I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson．
小题1:How did the writer give the blind woman money?

A．In a modest way	B．In a polite way
C．In an impatient way．	D．In a painful way

小题2:According to the text, the writer__________．
A．still lives a poor life

A．be nice to the elderly and the disabled

B．try to experience different kinds of culture

C．treat others equally with love and respect

D．think about one’s past as often as possible

小题4:What would be the best title of the text?

A．A priceless lesson	B．An act of prejudice

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us． Without reconciliation

In the first step, we share appreciation． We acknowledge the 38 qualities of the other person． The second step -- expressing regret, is to 39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 40 ． This requires humility （谦逊）, and the 41 to let go of our own pride． In the third step, we 42 our own hurt with mindf
