阅读表达。     For the next seven years, sit down each evening and write down ten things you are grateful for each day.
Better still, do this with partner or friend. Before we practice gratitude (感恩), we are in the dark and there
appears to be very little to be grateful for.
Once we begin, a new light dawns, sometimes a brilliant light, a
light as bright as heaven itself.
     To whom are you grateful in your life? Do these people know the full extent of your gratitude? Do you
realize how grateful they will be when you tell them? Gratitude is more important than an attitude; gratitude
is philosophy. The philosophy of gratitude being as a hope, grows into a belief, and finally becomes an
absolute knowing. It is a knowing that within any given situation-peaceful or painful or ugly-there is always
a gift waiting, waiting for to see.
     If it appears you have nothing to be grateful for, it is because you are not allowing yourself to receive.
Just because you do not receive does not mean there is nothing to receive. On the contrary (相反), there
is always ____ and so there is always a reason to be grateful. Pray:"Dear God, teach me I am worthy to
receive, teach me how to receive, teach me gratitude". Gratitude is good medicine. One single serving of
gratitude is often enough to open the heart, energise the body, warm the bones, make your hair curl, put a
spring in your step, start you humming, and make you smile like a baby. 1. What"s the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
    __________________________________________________________________________________
2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? Showing even a bit of gratitude
    can make everything look fine, and it will be of great benefit to you. 
    __________________________________________________________________________________
3. Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.
    (Please answer within 10 words.) 
    __________________________________________________________________________________
4. Do you agree with the author"s opinion of gratitude? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.) 
    __________________________________________________________________________________
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese. 
    __________________________________________________________________________________
答案
1. Learn to be grateful/ Be grateful/The value of gratitude/Practice gratitude
2. One single serving of gratitude is often enough to open the heart, energise the body, warm
    the bones, make your hair curl, put a spring in your step, start you humming, and make you
    smile like a baby.
3. something to receive
4. Yes. Because gratitude can better the relationship between people and contribute to the harmony
    of society. It is also good for our bodies and our minds (Answers may be various)
5. 在感恩以前,我们不知道要感激什么,似乎没什么值得感激的。

完形填空。     We should show respect (尊重) to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us-in age, in
wisdom, in experience and education. Our   1   have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us   2  
 everything to their kindness and love.
     When we   3   them respect, whether ii is by bowing to them, or   4   them with a smile, or offering them
any help they need, it is one way of   5   our own love and gratitude (感激) to them.   6  , elders have also been
through all the years you are   7   and know a little more about the world than you do.
     It is   8   that you do not agree with the belief of your elders but this is nothing new. All younger generations
have always   9   with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human  10 . However much
you disagree with them, give them credit (信任) for their  11 .
     With changing times and  12  influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to
elders. Youngsters should  13  express their views and if there are arguments, they should not  14  their voices.
     If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately  15  their places, and sit on the carpet. In
buses and trains, youngsters are  16  to give up their places to older people. This is not a  17  of who has more
rights. It is simply that those who are youngsters have the strength to bear  18 , or stand unpleasantness, so it
is natural to show consideration (体贴) to those who are older and perhaps at a  19  disadvantage (劣势).
     When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become  20  that youngsters care for them, and they respond
with affection and kindness.

     An idea came to me, and I turned off the lights in the studio. In the darkness, I took off my shirt and took
up the cello (大提琴); it was the first time in my life I"d felt the instrument against my bare chest. I"d never
thought about that; music scholars always talk about the resonating properties (共振) of various instruments,
but surely the performer"s own body must have some effect on the sound. As I dug into the notes I imagined
that my own chest and lungs were extensions of the sound box; I seemed to be able to change the sound by
the way I sat, and by varying the muscular tightness in my upper body.
     After improvising for a while, I started playing, still in the darkness. I heard the music through my skin.
For the first time I didn"t think about how it would sound to anyone else, and slowly, joyfully, gratefully, I
started to hear again. The notes sang out, first like a trickle, then like a fountain of cool water bubbling up
from a hole in the middle of a desert. After an hour or so I looked up, and in the darkness saw the outline of
the cat sitting on the floor in front of me, cleaning her paws and purring loudly. I had an audience again,
humble as it was.
     So that"s what I do now with my cello. At least once a day I find time to tune it, close my eyes and listen.
It"s probably not going to lead to the kind of comeback I"d be thirsty for-years of playing badly have left scars
on my technique-but I might eventually try giving a concert if I feel up.to it. Occasionally I feel a stab of
longing, and I wish I could give just one more concert on a great stage before my lights blink off, but that
longing passes more quickly now. I take comfort in the fact that, unlike the way I felt before, I can enjoy
playing for myself now. I feel relaxed and expansive when I play, as if I could stretch out my arms and reach
from one end of the apartment to the other. A feeling of completeness and dignity surrounds me and lifts me
up.
1. The writer put the cello against his bare chest to _____.
A. test music scholars" ideas about the resonating properties
B. experience the effect of his body on the musical sound
C. reduce his muscular tightness in his upper body
D. check the function of the sound box
2. In Paragraph 2, the writer intends to _____.
A. explain his feelings of playing before a cat
B. identify specific pieces of music he played
C. express his feelings of playing against his body
D. describe the sound when he played against his body
3. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer was _____.
A. optimistic
B. discouraged
C. nervous
D. enthusiastic
4. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. a musician playing the cello for an audience
B. a musician"s feelings when playing the cello
C. a musician finding joy in playing music in a new way
D. a musician"s desire to return to his former profession

     To forgive may be great, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be
extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly beneficial to
your physical and mental health. 1_____
     So how do you start the recovering? Try following these steps:
     Calm yourself. 2_____ You just take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:
a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.

So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
     Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). 4_____ Instead of focusing on your wounded
feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 
     5_____ If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, feat-
even love. To gain the same feeling, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender"s point
of view.
     Don"t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. But it
can rob you of your self-confidence if you don"t do it.
A. There are several ways to forgive and forget.
B. It can help reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more energetic.

F. Try to see things from the other person"s position.
G. To stop your anger, try a simple stress-management technique.

     To be or not to be. Outside the Bible (圣经), these six words are the most famous in all the   1   of the
world. They were   2   by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in
Shakespeare"s because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every   3   man and woman.
To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live   4   and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly
and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know   5   he was alive or not, which is a good question for
everyone to put to himself   6  . He answered it by saying, "I think,   7   I am."
     But the best   8   of existence ever seen was given by another philosopher who said, "To be is to be in 
  9  ." If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive To live abundantly means
simply to  10  the range and intensity of our relations.  11  we are so used to loving our routine. But apart
from our regular  12 , how much are we alive? If you are  13  only on your regular occupation, you are
alive only to that extent. If  14  things are not concerned so far-poetry, music, pictures, sports, friendships,
politics, international affairs-you are  15 . On the contrary, it is true that every time you  16  a new interest-
even more, a new accomplishment-you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in a
large variety of subjects can remain  17 ; the real pessimist is the person who has lost  18 .
     To be or not to be-to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that fits with  19 . Let"s widen and strengthen
our relations.  20  we live let live!
