Life is like potato salad; when it’s shared it becomes a picnic.
When my three children were young, my husband Roy and I were very   小題1: . “Can we go on a picnic, Mom?” my six-year-old daughter, Becky   小題2: . “Please.” I had said no so many times in   小題3:  months, and I decided the usual Saturday morning chores (日常工作) could    小題4:  . To her   小題5:  I agreed.

About the time I got the lunch   小題9:  out on the table, Roy arrived on the   小題10: . That was one of the happiest meals we ever shared together. The meal was filled with   小題11: . We felt a closeness that had been hidden by work and school related responsibilities for so many months. Roy and the boys   小題12:  rocks into the lake. Becky fed the ducks and I sat quietly at the picnic table,   小題13:  God for blessing me with such a wonderful family.
That night as our children went to bed, I kissed their cheeks and   小題14: what a wonderful life I had. As I walked out of the room it dawned on me that even the busiest   小題15:  could become a picnic when it’s shared with the ones you   小題16: . Even though the kids have now grown up and   小題17:   from home, I can still remember how I felt that day while sitting at the picnic table.
Maybe today would be a good time to   小題18:  potato salad, call all of my   小題19:  kids, feed some hungry ducks and skip a few rocks into the lake. Since life is like potato salad, let’s make it a   小題20: .

Question: I have a one-year-old female bulldog, who has recently taken to biting my shoes when we are in the park and I’m on the mobile. She can be slightly aggressive and I’m starting to get worried and a bit annoyed. How do I stop her? ----Susan, London.
Answer: You need to get this problem under control before it could escalate (惡化). I always advise owners not to talk on the mobile phone when they go for a walk with their dogs, because they should be focusing on this time with their pets, but I know people have busy lives and need to make phone calls.
The behavior she is showing is either controlling or playfulness, but they both result from the same issue ---- you are not paying attention to her. If you must make phone calls while on a walk, try to still engage with your dog by speaking towards her, playing some sorts of game and so on. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to try more of a training approach.
You will need a training line and some treats. Start your walk in the usual way, make a phone call, and when your dog starts displaying the undesired behavior, simply stop walking --- otherwise she will see it as a game. When she is calm and looking at you, or if she sits, give her a treat; then continue walking. If she starts up again, pick up the lead, gently pull it, and tell her “no”.  Then ask her to sit and give her a treat if she does.
The aim of this is to try to get her to forget how much fun it is biting your shoes. Do little sessions every day --- and try not to answer the phone if you know it’s going to be a long conversation. Be patient and good luck!
Remember that if an animal shows signs of distress or discomfort, an early visit to the vet is always recommended.
小題1:What is Susan complaining about in her question?
A．She doesn’t know how to make phone calls while walking a dog.
B．She has no idea how to get along well with her dog.
C．She gets worried that her dog is getting annoyed.
D．She finds her dog is getting a little aggressive.
小題2:The probable reason why the pet dog bites its owner’s shoes is that ______.
A．the owner isn’t paying attention to her
B．the owner often makes trouble for the dog
C．the owner plays some dull games with her
D．the owner doesn’t like the pet dog any more
小題3:The solution to dealing with the distress or discomfort of pets is to _____.
A．talk with them regularly
B．take them to see the vet
C．play games with them
D．let them bite your shoes
小題4:How can Susan get her pet dog to forget the fun from biting her shoes?
A．By playing some sort of game with the pet dog.
B．By punishing the pet dog strictly.
C．By training her not to do so.
D．By leaving her at home.

Dear Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul,
Most people don’t really know what pressures a typical teenager has to go through. Sure, our parents and grandparents were once teens, but things are so different now. It has never been to tougher (嚴(yán)格)to a teenager.
It had never been more important to be in the “right group” or to have the “right brand” of shoes. And those are the easy things to deal with. We also face problems with family, friends, relationships and school pressures.
When it gets to be too much, I turn to my friends. One friend I could not live without is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Your books have been so inspiring to me and have helped me to deal with and understand the problems I go through.
For example, I went through a confusing time with my friends when we got to junior high. I had known these friends since kindergarten, and when we began junior high it seemed like some of them began to change. We started hanging out with different groups, and we slowly grew so far apart that it seemed as if we had never been friends. I felt confused and hurt.
Sometime during this period I read the story Friends Forever in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Ⅱ.I felt so much better after reading it. It was like a weight had been lifted from me when I realized that many friendships went through changes and that we weren’t the only friends to experience them.
People change, but that doesn’t mean we have to lose the friendships we once shared. My friends and I still spend time together when we can and care about each other a lot. That things are different doesn’t mean I have to forget about all the good times we had. I will always keep the memories in a safe place in my heart.
Sincerely,
Peter

D．Because his friends refused to hang out with him.
小題3:What does the underlined word “them” in Para．5 refer to？

“I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it was announced again."
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana -- she was still on cloud nine.
"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience (觀眾) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比賽). "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."
小題1:What do the words "on cloud nine" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．frightenedB．troubledC．very happyD．very angry
小題2:Shelley takes her dance teacher as a role model mainly because she is ________.
A．determinedB．friendlyC．strictD．experienced
小題3:How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?
A．1.B．2.C．3.D．4.
小題4:What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?
A．She visited drunken drivers.

C．She made speeches on safe driving.
D．She helped other teens with their studies.
小題5:What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.
Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (闡明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.
Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.
　　When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.
小題1:The purpose of the author writing this passage is to advise people to _______.
A．a(chǎn)void inappropriate manners
B．learn tolerance towards others
C．pay attention to others’ needs and feelings
D．judge others favorably in any case
小題2:The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to __________.
A．discouragingB．disappointingC．disgustingD．disturbing
小題3:According to the passage, the following statements are all true except ______.
A．You can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.
B．We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.
C．Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.
D．The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.
小題4:It can be implied from the text that __________.
A．the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensive
B．we will need to learn tolerance to co-exist with others
C．we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our own
D．the writer didn’t care about other people’s view of him

Growing up on a tobacco farm, Emma Avery was used to hard times. When she was seven, her family’s farmhouse burned to the ground. Her father made a temporary (臨時(shí)的) shelter, where eight people had to sleep in two beds. As soon as Emma and her four brothers and two sisters were big enough, they were out in the fields.
Emma would find her comfort in school, even as a C student, thanks to one teacher. When she moved on to middle school, Emma was alarmingly far behind her classmates. She kept her head down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up, and feeling like an outsider.
Then one day, when Emma was 16, a teacher named Mr. Potts changed everything. Looking his students in the eye, Mr. Potts said, "Being a C student does not mean you do not have a valuable contribution to make. Some of you have to work in the fields in the evening and do not have time to study. But if you do your best, you have a gift to give."
The teacher’s words made Emma believe she could do well, and she worked harder. In the end she won a scholarship to St. Paul’s College, graduated with a degree in elementary education in 1967, and got a job in the public-school system. Then, at George Washington University, she received a master’s in education in 1970, and afterwards in the same year she married Ron Smothers.
Over the next six years, Emma taught in public schools in Miami. In 1976, after saving $10,000, she opened her first restaurant in Los Angeles. Eventually Emma stopped teaching, and her business expanded (擴(kuò)展) to six restaurants.
In gratitude (感激) for what she has been able to achieve, Emma donates a lot. She has no idea how much money she’s given away. She says, "Those I want to help are the C students who just need help, direction and confidence."
小題1:The first paragraph serves to show that Emma ______.
A．was poor and had no time to study
B．was born on a tobacco farm
C．was sad to lose her house
D．was kind enough to help support the family
小題2:From the text we learn that Emma ______.
A．won a scholarship to George Washington University
B．was unsuccessful as a businesswoman
C．was thankful to Mr. Potts
D．disliked teaching, and gave up the job
小題3:From the second paragraph we can infer that Emma was ______.
A．unintelligent B．unconfidentC．hard-workingD．Considerate
小題4:The text mainly wants to tell us ______.
A．confidence is the first step to success
B．memory of the past is the teacher of the future
C．something attempted, something done
D．nothing is impossible to a willing heart

“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!”
Annabel, my close friend, stunned（使…震驚）me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting（代替）. “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!”
My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.
In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.”
“How many did you have on your list?” I asked.
“Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ ”
My jaw dropped，“What did you do?”
“Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ ”
“And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ ”
My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!
God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.
