Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.
Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my       was more manageable , I        ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs.       that was years ago and times have changed.       I live with mother on a   country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up for my disability pension (殘疾撫恤金).       I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited(限制) in my choices. I decided that I would consider      to singing in restaurants.
My family are all musicians, so I was       when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of       to get started. And often you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can      use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my      ; he gave me a long thoughtful      . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”
He led me       the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand       on his treasure(財(cái)寶) and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pick and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose      that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His     still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點(diǎn)). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.                      He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”                                                                         
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.            
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”                   
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.                                                          
小題1:What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?                                   
A.Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B.She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D.Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
小題2:Why did her father listen to her quietly?                                          
A.Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B.Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D.Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
小題3:Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?                          
A.Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C.My Father
D.My Childhood

Happiness is for everyone, and you don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with         and swimming pools or those who have nice cars         a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often         lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are  in         at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always         good care of your life and your health; when you get        , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to         it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel        , too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always         you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are        , you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to         yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes: Life is like a revolving(轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)的)door. When it        , it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
