A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敵意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Mirrors have a very particular　 __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a　 __37__　 mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__　 do all of the people in our lives.

When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden　 __39__　 a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n)　 __40__　 of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply　 __41__　 into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”.　 __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've　 __43__　 each other for a long time. That feeling can come from　 __44__　 similarities.

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll　 __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(內(nèi)涵).　 __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly　 __47__　 about. We may have some criticism(批評)in our mind about the　 __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend　 __49__　 time.

Often, when we　 __50__　 qualities in other people, ironically(諷刺地), it's usually the mirror that's　 __51__　 to us.

At times we meet someone　 __52__　 and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.　 __53__　 we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or　 __54__　 to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to　 __55__　 what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

第二節(jié)：完型填空(共20小題，每小題1.5分，滿分30分)
Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 　36　. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never　37　more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something　38　 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a　39　table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the　40　 for my friends! ” said Ben. We all sat down and looked　41　at each other—what was he 　42　?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a　43　of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes, ”said Ben. The next　44　was also a little strange　45　we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables. ”
As we ate we chatted and finally the　46　turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe(菜譜) for this, ”asked Marina, “or did you　47　it up? ”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked　48　what I could find. ”Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days. ”“But there’s　49　choice in what you can find　50　supermarkets, ” he replied.
　51　that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually　52　away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of　53　, boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had　54　 provided a decent meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 　55　millions of people.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Motherhood is a career to respect

　　A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

　　“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”

　　“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”

　　“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

　　One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.

　　The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究員) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

　　The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

　　I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (聲明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

　　“Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”

　　Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

　　There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

　　As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激勵) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.

　　Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

　　I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”

　　Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

2. How many children does the writer have?

　　A. 3　　　 B. 4 　　　C. 7　　　 D. 13

3.Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?

　　A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.

　　B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.

　　C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.

　　D. Because she admired the writer's research work.

4. What is the point of the article?

　　A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.

　　B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.

　　C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.

　　D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
