It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the   36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   37  between teacher and student. When she finally   38  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn   39  of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,   40 , was working angrily as I struggled not to   41 . I figured I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some   42  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   44 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason   45  and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the classroom.
As I   46  the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” A number of them said, “You give us too much homework.” Some kids said, “We’re   47  of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   48   were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   49  , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   50 my students, I had begun commanding them to   51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   52  driving them away.
I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   53  by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   55 .

【要點綜述】一次令人不愉快的玩笑讓作者意識到自己對學(xué)生的嚴加管教實際上背離了自己的初衷，他們需要的是鼓勵，而不是命令。
小題1:D　考查名詞。女孩兒咯咯的笑聲吸引了作者的注意，作者認為記筆記沒有那么可笑，就向“冒犯者”要“筆記”。上文的“Note-taking”是線索提示。
小題1:D　考查名詞。她拒絕把筆記交給作者，作者在等待，教室中所有的目光都轉(zhuǎn)向了這場師生之間的沉默的“戰(zhàn)爭”，此處是比喻用法。
小題1:B　考查動詞。上文提到作者向她要筆記，所以此處是她把筆記“交”給了作者。
小題1:D　考查名詞。根據(jù)上一段最后一句中的內(nèi)容可知筆記本上面是學(xué)生手畫的作者的“畫像”。下文的“for drawing the picture”也是線索提示。
小題1:A　作者努力平靜地把學(xué)生給作者畫的畫像折疊起來，“但是”內(nèi)心卻感到非常氣憤。前后內(nèi)容表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故用however。
小題1:D　根據(jù)上一段中描述的畫像的內(nèi)容可知這是對作者的侮辱，所以作者看過之后努力不“哭”出來。下文的“I sniffed in the back of the classroom”是線索提示。
小題1:C　作者認為這么做太過分，教訓(xùn)她們一頓會對她們有些“好處”。do sb.good表示“對某人有好處”。
小題1:A　上一段的后半部分提到作者打算教訓(xùn)她們一頓，所以此處表示作者最終能夠“控制”自己。
小題1:B　根據(jù)下一段中的“I’m sorry you were hurt.”可知這張畫像深深地“傷害”了作者。meaningful意為“有意義的”；forgetful意為“健忘的”；regretful意為“懊悔的”，均不符合語境。
小題1:B　作者告訴他們畫像“背后”肯定有原因。下文揭示了畫像背后的原因。
小題1:A　上一段提到作者讓學(xué)生寫下需要對作者說的任何事情，所以此處是“閱讀”學(xué)生寫的內(nèi)容。另外，下一段的開頭部分也是線索提示。
小題1:C　由下文可知作者對學(xué)生太嚴厲了，所以學(xué)生應(yīng)該是害怕她，故選C。
小題1: A　此處與第四段的“ I figured…”相呼應(yīng)，表示作者“認為”她們是畫像背后的“真兇”。figure表示“認為，認定 (某事將發(fā)生或?qū)賹?”。
小題1:D　根據(jù)上下文可知她們認為作者過于嚴厲，非�！翱瘫　�。talkative意為“健談的”；clumsy意為“笨拙的”；considerate意為“體貼的”，都不符合語境。
小題1:D　作者意識到今年以來，沒有“鼓勵”學(xué)生，而是采用了命令的方式。
小題1:A　根據(jù)下一句中的success可知作者開始采用命令的方式迫使學(xué)生“完成”。前三項分別表示“欣賞，感激”；“道歉”；“妥協(xié)”，都與下一句中的內(nèi)容不符。
小題1:B　作者原以為這樣會讓他們成功，而“實際上”是讓他們離成功越來越遠。normally意為“正常地”；immediately意為“立刻”；generally意為“普遍地”，均不符合語境。
小題1:A　在有全部男生“簽名”的那張卡片上他們表達了對這次令人不愉快的玩笑的真誠的后悔。
小題1:C　根據(jù)前一句中的“…expressed sincere regret for…”以及下一段第二句中的“Forgiveness does…”可知女生們請求作者的“原諒”。thankfulness意為“感激”；compensation意為“補償”；communication意為“交流”，都不符合語境。
小題1:B　此處與本句中的the past相對，故選B項，表示“將來”。

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I   36  most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we   37  ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to   38 his family as cold. When we got into the   39   to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40  , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often  41  me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant  42 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his  43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his  44   morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I  45  him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt   46 . For example, I always return phone calls  47  and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the  48  : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger  49   as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I  50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was  51   at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be  52  . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their  53   expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my  54 . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to  55  other persons, love signs.

I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun．You may think People ,n such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others．If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness．
Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness．The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common．Fun is what we experience during an act．Happiness is what we experience after an act．It is a deep, long-lasting emotion．
Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh．But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends．
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun．They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir（回憶錄） after memoir, they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness．
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features．
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness．They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want．Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep．I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to．It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness．It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless．And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Fun and happiness．
B．Success and satisfaction．
C．Marriage and commitment．
D．Entertainment and responsibility．
小題2:The author probably agrees that ____．
A．fun creates long - lasting satisfaction
B．long - standing fun may lead to happiness
C．fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
D．fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
小題3:What does the author think of marriage?
A．It ends in pain．
B．It means commitment．
C．It affords greater fun．
D．It leads to raising children．
【小題14If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____．
A．will start a business
B．won' t place too much value on money
C．will seek for freedom
D．won't devote himself to his family

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that   21  men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them,   22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life    23    the fullest.
Recently, John lost his    24    Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last    25 . One day John took out a folded piece of   26   from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he     27   up some drawers at home.
It was a    28    love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地寫，亂涂) about her dream guy.    29   the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who    30   only had a few months left to live.
It was    31   a beautiful recipe (處方，食譜) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s    32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next    33   reads. After that she turned    34  the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has    35   with and loved most in her life. “  36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote   37  all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to   38  as Janet was to him. I need to   39  what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know     40    I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

The rumors had been spreading for months but it still came as a shock when the hospital would be closing. It had served this poor neighborhood for nearly 100 years but it would close because of the health care crisis.
The day after the announcement co-workers found out that pretzels(椒鹽餅干) had been eliminated. Soft pretzels are the lifeblood of this city. So losing access to soft pretzels is no small matter.
I said, “I only have $6. I’m not sure how many pretzels I need. You see, I work at a hospital and it’s closing and they stopped selling pretzels.” The man’s smile disappeared. “What hospital?” “Oh, Northeastern Hospital.”
The guy looked deeply shocked. “I used to sell medical supplies and that was one of my hospitals.” Then he turned around and grabbed a box of 25 pretzels and slid them across the counter.
I was surprised by his generosity and started to reach for my wallet, “Oh I can pay. Please let me …” The guy smiled, “Just tell them Joe Sullivan said to do something nice for someone else.”
And so that day everyone in medical records was treated to a soft pretzel. Word spread fast as people came asking, “Is it really true?” It was as if I’d carried in a box of gold. It mattered to them that a stranger cared.
