My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would 36 the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought 37 was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mummy." She said. "No, Many people are 38 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first 39 , I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, "Mummy, it must be our eyes." She looked at me and said, "You are 40 fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." 41 the years, mother asked me a couple more 42 and always her response to my answers was, "No, but you are getting 43 every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa 44 . Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our 45 to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was 46 when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a 47 between her and me. She saw the 48 on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really 49 your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your 50 ." I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head?" she replied, "No, it is 51 on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough friends and 52 that you will have a shoulder to cry 53 when you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a 54 one. It is sympathetic（同情的）to the pain of 55__.

I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 31 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-aged children. At the end of the day, he would 32 his taxi on the road. I 33 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 34 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 35 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was a 36 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 37 to be outside one evening two weeks 38 , when the garage door was 39 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me completely 40 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 41 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（n） 42 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 43 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove fo r a (n） 44 .
We go to bed every night and 45 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 46 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 47 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire  happiness and success on how much bigger and better a 48 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by 49 it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 50 we are than what we do!

Those days life was so hard that I finally wished that I could just be “left alone”.
The thought of going somewhere by myself would give me so much 1 . but then I’d remember when I was alone. Not that 2 _ left me. I was alone by myself in crowded places. It was the 3 that I built around me that would not 4 the outside in or the inside out.
When I was a child, I would play this silly 5 . It was always 6 _ because a place in a corner or under a table would do. My favorite place was simply to pull a blanket over my head. I would lie there and 7 , “Right now no one in the world knows where I am!” That thought was so 8 .
If you knew me well enough this wouldn’t 9 you…I still do it at 60. It drives my dogs crazy, because they find me and start digging at the blanket until they find a way in. All three of them 10 me. That thought is so satisfying, too.
I want you to know that at times we all wish that we could be left _11 . The fact that you can be alone with yourself and enjoy it shows clearly who you are. Imagine for a 12 being locked in a room with someone you 13 . It would be torture. So, if you find peace with being with yourself, that is good. However, if you are trying to build a wall so no one can ever 14 , it can’t happen.
The light of love can find a 15 through the tiniest cracks. You can pull the covers over your head and love will find you.

Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.
Make friendship a priority. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the grass in your garden uncut or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.
Open up to close friends. Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt” intimacy (亲密). Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems，but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem (自尊)when they are shaken by a job loss, or other such events.
Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies，singing in a choir，and joining in a bowling league.
Don’t wait for a friend to ask a favor. When a friend has the flu，offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their afterschool activities.
Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage，friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.
Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms，or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.
Enroll in an adulteducation course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.

On a cold evening I was waiting for a taxi in New York. About 5 minutes later, I was picked up by a driver, and he said how terrible some people were. I knew there was a part of me that wanted to be silent, but I had to  listen out of kindness.
The man told me that he had just come from JFK Airport without a customer. Over the courses of that taxi ride, what started as anger changed slowly and he mentioned that he had read an article which said that the happiest people are the ones that give, so he hoped he’d have more chance to give in his life. I was really starting to enjoy being with this man.
As we arrived at the place where I wanted to go, I paid my money by credit card. I pulled out an extra $20 and said, “Sir, since we’ve been talking about giving this whole time, I want to share that feeling with you. I’ve already paid my money, but here’s an extra little bit.  You can tell the next passenger in this taxi that their ride is a gift from another.”
I thought I was pretty cool at this point, but he turned toward me, tears in his eyes, and said, “Sir, I have a better idea. You give that $20 to a homeless person around here and I will give the next passenger a free ride myself.
It was a great honor meeting that man and learning the lesson of how everyone gives and adds joy to another with their generosity.

小题4:What would be the best title for the text?| A．A cold evening in New York | B．Learning from a taxi driver | | C．A gift to a generous stranger | D．Always being a happy person |

When I finished school I took the Bible __51__ to my father. But he said he wanted me to __52__ it.
Now, too often, I remember. It would have been so __53__ to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn’t. My father could give me only a Bible, but now I don’t really believe that I gave her half as __54__ as my father gave me. So the next morning I __55__ up the book and sent it to her. I wrote a note “This can help you.” I said, “if you will let it.”
