Life is the greatest teacher
There always comes a moment when I wonder where I will end up and this moment always serves as a strong motivation for me to learn life lesson. I've learned a great many things, but these are the lessons that I wish I'd learned earlier:
小題1:_________
There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well. Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of another's. This most likely came from a need to please others. Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guy's, whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you. Everyone's opinion holds the same weight.
小題2:_________
Drama, chaos, and emotional unrest — these were what took up most of my time as a teenager. If I had heard someone said bad things behind my back, I'd be angry. Go crazy. Looking back on those tantrums now, I'm not too surprised. After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible. The lesson here is, remain aware of how you react.
小題3:_________
Will one small argument among friends decide the fate of the entire universe? In my world it felt like it. I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong. But in the end, it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration. Is there really a point to arguing? Unless it's absolutely necessary, I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control at all. Arguing to change someone's mind is one of them.
小題4:_________
I'm not saying every parent wants what's best for you (there are outliers), but in general, parents do what they do for you in your best interest. My parents used to make me do the dishes, cook dinner, sweep the floors, mow the lawn, take out the garbage… the list goes on and on. And at every turn, I'd whine and complain. I'd eventually end up doing it. Now, I honestly see the value in having learned those skills. I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself.
小題5:_________
Whenever I’d lose a friend, get an awful grade, or disappoint my parents, I stewed in my own muck. Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution. Fortunately, I know now that you don’t have to be stuck in bad situations. You can go out and create better ones. It all depends on perspective; on how you see the situation. Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable, even during the hard times. You aren't stuck. You can move on.
I'm glad to have learned these lessons the way I did. Each experience helped shape me to become a better person. I don't know if any young people are reading this, but if they are, I'd like to say this: “Listen to life and its experiences. Everyone goes through mostly the same things.”

小題1:C
小題2:E
小題3:A
小題4:B
小題5:F

試題分析：本文告訴我們的是一些在我們的人生旅途中要認(rèn)真考慮的教訓(xùn)和哲理。
小題1:C 根據(jù)下段第一句和最后一句There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well. 和Everyone's opinion holds the same weight可知本段講述的是別人的觀點(diǎn)也很重要，我們要多聽取別人的意見。故C項(xiàng)符合上下文。
小題2:E 根據(jù)下段最后2行After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible. The lesson here is, remain aware of how you react.可知我們要意識到我們自己的行為，要控制自己的行為。因?yàn)槿绻覀兪Э�，什么事情都可能發(fā)生。所以我們要控制自己的情緒。故E項(xiàng)是本段的中心思想。
小題3:A 根據(jù)本段3,4,5行Is there really a point to arguing? Unless it's absolutely necessary, I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control at all.可知如果不是一定必要，就沒有必要去爭吵去爭論。因?yàn)槟菢幼稣娴臎]有意義。故A項(xiàng)符合本段中心思想。
小題4:B 根據(jù)本段1,2行I'm not saying every parent wants what's best for you (there are outliers), but in general, parents do what they do for you in your best interest.可知我們的父母親對我們的期望值是很高的。故B項(xiàng)就是本段的中心思想。
小題5:F 根據(jù)本段2,3行Fortunately, I know now that you don’t have to be stuck in bad situations. You can go out and create better ones.可知我們不會困在某一個(gè)困難的情況之中，我們會克服這些困難取得成功。
點(diǎn)評：本文告訴我們的是一些在我們的人生旅途中要認(rèn)真考慮的教訓(xùn)和哲理。從題目設(shè)置的角度看，本題側(cè)重對學(xué)生把握文章中心段落和各段落的中心句的能力的考查，所以遇到這類題后，要注意把握好文章結(jié)構(gòu)，了解文章中心意思，找到各段落中心句。不要讓文中的一些生詞影響了注意力。

After years of searching, a truth seeker was told to go to a cave, in which he would find a well. “Ask the well what is   36  , ” he was advised, “and the well reveal (告訴，揭露) it to you.” Having found the well, the seeker asked that most basic and important   37 .

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt＇s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
小題1:How did the author get to know America?
A．From her relativesB．From her mother
C．From Books and picturesD．From radio programs
小題2:Upon leaving for America the author felt       .
A．confusedB．excited C．worriedD．a(chǎn)mazed
小題3:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
A．She worked as a translator
B．She attended a lot of job interviews
C．She paid telephone bills for her family
D．She helped her family with her English
小題4:The author believes that      .
A．her future will be free from troubles
B．it is difficult to learn to become patient
C．there are more good things than bad things
D．good things will happen if one keeps trying

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs（突破）. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    1   he thought he was able to be so much more    2   than the average person.
He responded that it all came from a(n)   3   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to   4  milk from the fridge when he    5   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came in,    6   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful    7   you have made! I have    8   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    9  . Would you like to get down and    10   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, “ You know, what we have here is a    11  experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    12   hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can   13 .” The little boy learned that if he    14   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    15  !
This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be    16  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    17   for learning something new, which is,    18  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't   19 ,” we usually learn something    20   from it.

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms (蠕蟲), and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering (妨礙) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
小題1:It is implied in Paragraph 1 that______.
A．very old people enjoy living with their relatives
