“How did you do it, Dad ? How have you 21 not to take a drink for almost 20 years? ”It took me almost 20 years to have the 22 to even ask my father this very 23 question.
When Dad first 24 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles 25 he got into a situation that, in the past, would have started him drinking again.For a few years we were 26 to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.
“I had this little 27 that I would recite to myself 28 four to five times a day ” was Dad’s 29 to my 18-year-old unasked question.“The 30 were an instant relief and constant reminder to me that things were never so 31 that I could not handle them,”Dad said.And then he 32 the poem with me.The poem’s simple, yet profound (深奥的) words 33 became part of my daily routine as well.
About a month after this talk with my father,I 34 a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of affirmations (断言) with one affirmation listed for each 35 of the year.
I 36 opened the book to the page of my birthday to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. 37 of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face.There,on my birthday ,was the 38 poem that had helped my 39 for all these years! It is called The Sereniry Prayer.
God,give me the Serenity（平静）to accept the things I cannot change,the Courage to 40 the things I can,and the Wisdom to know the difference.

解析
小题1:由下文可知父亲已经设法戒掉了酒，故应用manage，表示“成功做到……”。
小题1:句意“我”花了近20年的时间才有勇气去问父亲这个问题。第二段最后解释说，“我”一直害怕勾起他再次饮酒的***，故不敢提及该问题。
小题1:根据常识可知，该问题纯粹是私人问题。
小题1:从本段最后一句“害怕他再次喝酒”可知，这里是在描述父亲最初戒酒时我们的反应。
小题1:每次当他遇到一种可能会让他再次饮酒的场合时，全家人就如坐针毡。此处every time引导一个时间状语从句，意为“每次”。
小题1:担心(父亲)再次开始饮酒，故数年来我们一直不敢提及这件事。bring it up提及这件事o
小题1:本题可以从倒数第二段的倒数第二句中得到暗示。
小题1:从下文可知，父亲喜爱这首诗，每天至少背诵四到五遍。
小题1:根据文章第一段及空后内容可知，这是父亲对文章开头“我”提出的问题的回答。
小题1:本题可以从本段最后一句话中得到暗示。
小题1:考查形容词词义辨析。语境：这些话不断提醒我事情从来不会困难到无法处理。tough坚硬的，结实的，棘手的，难解的。A．陌生的，生疏的，奇异的，奇怪的；B．不同的；C．简单的。
小题1:考查动词与介词的搭配。share sth with sb.与某人分享……。本题易误选read，但其后介词应用to，即read sth．to sb．。
小题1:从下文可知，“我”对该诗一见倾心，颇受其影响，故这些话语立即成为“我”日常生活的一部分。
小题1:由空格后的a gift in the mail及birthday可知，此处说“我”收到一份礼物。
小题1:由第五段第一句中“我”翻到“我”生日所在的那一页可知，该书是每天都有一个断言的。
小题1:由上一段最后一句和本空后的内容“…to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me”可知。此处表示“我”急忙打开这本书。
小题1:此处指眼泪从脸上滚落下来。sweat汗水，不符合语境。
小题1:考查形容词辨析。“我”生日那一页上的断言正是曾经帮助父亲戒酒的那首诗。exact恰好的。correct正确的；impossible不可能的；original起初的。
小题1:根据上文内容可知，正是这首诗多年来一直在帮助父亲。
小题1:上帝，给我平静之心来接受不能改变之事，给我勇气去改变我所能改变之事，给我智慧以了解其差异。 |

I had the privilege to visit the Bridge of Forgiveness in Palawan during the time when I was on the summer’s team.
After the long and exciting week,we had a chance to 21 the place where we were assigned(指定).We 22 the narrow hanging bridge made of two bamboos and a long rope which you can hold 23 for your life as you cross it. I was so afraid of 24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not 25 to crossing so high a bridge 26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other 27 .
“As you cross this bridge,think about 28 difficult,but it is possible”.
Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is 30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be 31 through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.
I didn’t understand my cousin 32 she told me I should 33 all those unfriendly guys with 34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past 35 and guilt will not serve me well.
Once I forgave serious 36 ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I 37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them.
After all,life is good 38 all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be 39 in facing and adversity（逆境）while at the same time it makes me 40 to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.

A programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York. The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun. He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $5.” Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep.
The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!” This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment(折磨) unless he plays, so he agrees to the game.
The programmer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The engineer doesn’t say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, it’s the engineer’s turn. He asks the programmer, “What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?” The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, “Well, so what’s the answer?” Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away and goes back to sleep.

The day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.
One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself  by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole.
小题1:What made the author feel sad?| A．Her fiancé’s sudden death. | B．Constant heavy snow. | | C．Her fiancé abandoning her. | D．Her job being refused again. |
小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 1?| A．Surprised. | B．Angry. | C．Ashamed. | D．Moved. |
小题3:It is _______ that helped the author out of darkness. | A．herself | B．her friends | C．her fiancé | D．a snowplow |
小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?| A．The author was a capable and independent woman. | | B．The author was so lazy that she wouldn’t shovel the walk. | | C．Finally the author got through hardest work bravely. | | D．When facing the worst fear, you will get strength. |
小题5:What’s the author’s purpose in the passage?| A．To talk about her hardest work in her life. | | B．To talk about her real love between her and her fiancé. | | C．To tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely. | | D．To tell us the importance of friendship. |

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother．We had 26 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention．I was 27 and energetic．I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 28 afford a dream．

“$ 3．25 an hour,” I replied．

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 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__.
