That night I must have uncrossed my fingers to scratch something . The car  40  in the middle of a four-lane stretch of Oak Street . I  41  for a place to turn off（拐彎）, but the street was lined with parked cars .
There I sat , in  42  traffic , as tons of vehicles screamed by . In my rearview mirror（后視鏡）I saw a car  43  behind me . I knew what was coming . Soon the horn would start and someone would be  44  at me . But I was  45  .
A stranger got out of the car and came to my  46  . He asked , “ Do you want a  47  ?”
I was surprised but  48  . And then he  49  to his car and two teens piled out to help push my car . When I was  50  delivered to a side street , they got back into their car and rejoined the sea of  51  . I didn’t get to  52  them .
Over the years I’ve realized something about the  53  who stopped to help . I’ve noticed that every time I’m in  54  , he appears . The one true thing in this world is an unasked  55  provided by a stranger .

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 36 up at me and said,“I love you.”I didn't know what to say. For several   37 all I could do was to  38 there and looked down at him.My first thought was that he must need   39 with his homework or he was trying to  40 me for some news.
Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should   41 our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is  42 .”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”and how the other parents had  43
“Most of the fathers had the   44 reacting（反應(yīng)）as you did ,”the teacher said.“When I first  45we try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say . Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.“The 46 is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of  47.It is something all people 48 .What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too  49 we don't all express those feelings.A boy should be  50 to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how  51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening ,I held on to(抱著)him for  52 second.And just before he  53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly(男子氣慨)voice,“Hey, I love you ,too.”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感覺很好)，Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”，it wouldn't take me a whole  54 to think of the right 55 .

If practicing an attitude of gratitude(感激） during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They're so caught up in what's wrong in the present moment that they simply can't see some things are still right.
If that's true for you, then accept it. You're going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and don't like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It may be only a small comfort right no, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn't happen. For example:
       You're in debt... but you're not homeless.
       You lost your job... but you didn't lose your health.
       You broke your leg... but you didn't break your neck.
        Your mother has Alzheimers disease... but your father doesn't.
No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn't. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything- but you can always be thankful for something.
小題1:How many "terrible things that didn't happen" are listed in this passage?
A．TwoB．ThreeC．FourD．Five
小題2:The writer thinks it ____ for people to feel unhappy in time of difficulty.
A．necessaryB．normalC．greatD．helpful
小題3:.What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To discuss ways to make a list of terrible things
B．To explain what is gratitude towards the storms of life.
C．To persuade people to be thankful for what didn't happen.
D．To show people different ways to consider their tough situations.
小題4:. How is the passage organized?
A．Explanation―Comparison―Topic
B．Argument―Opinion―Discussion
C．Comparison―Argument―Explanation
D．Introduction―Discussion―Conclusion

Justin’s bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could hardly get in the door.  His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
“What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked.  But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”
When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack — a smaller bag of his bedroom — a place to store the many objects that he collected.  It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.
Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations.  Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem.  On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.
“Do you think you have something in your backpack that could help me remember my locker combination (箱子密碼)?”  he asked.  “I lost the piece of paper it was written on.  I have a science class in two minutes and if I’m late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year.”  Kenny looked really worried.
“Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and opened it.  “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in my home to write the combination down?  Well, I know how I can recover what you wrote.”
He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his backpack.  The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook.  Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks.  Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white.
“That’ s amazing!”  Kenny said, “I owe you one.”  And he dashed off to open his locker.
It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was “Never throw anything out; you never know when it might come in handy.”
小題1:Why is Justin’s room in such a mess?
A．He always forgets to clean it.
B．He never throws anything out.
C．He has no time to clean it.
D．He shares the room with his brother.
小題2:In what way is Justin’s blue backpack used?
A．He uses it as a place to store collected objects.
B．He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.
C．His parents tell him to clean it all the time.
D．He carries it to remind others of his ability.
小題3:The underlined phrase “pleaded with” means              .
A．ignoredB．a(chǎn)skedC．pushedD．a(chǎn)dmired
小題4:How does Kenny feel toward Justin?
A．AnnoyedB．DisinterestedC．GratefulD．Angry

For many years, I was sure that my suffering was because of my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many obese（overweight）people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin means being loved, being special, and being cherished. We imagine what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally realize its promise of happiness, and of course, love.
It took me a long while to know that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards are different with culture. In Somoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us try hard to change our body, but with no result. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves,  the whole world changes.
小題1:The passage tries to tell us the importance of ______.
A．body size
B．a(chǎn)ttitudes toward life
C．culture difference
D．different beauty standards
小題2:What does the underlined word “everything” (paragraph 2) mean?
A．All the problems.B．All the bodies.
C．The whole world.D．The truth.
小題3:What can be inferred about the author?
A．The author is a Samoan.
B．The author succeeded in losing weight.
C．The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
小題4:According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A．They feel angry about the regained weight.
B．They don’t care about the regained weight.
C．They feel optimistic（樂觀的）about future plans on weight control.
D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.
