Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life from my father.  1 , he did not teach me to learn to accept when he was strong and healthy, but when he was   2 and ill.
My father was 3  a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness  4 all that away. Now he can   5  walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair 6 . Even talking is  7 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started   8  about life, and I told them about one of my  9 . I said that we must very often give things up as we grow —our youth, our beauty, our friends -- but it always seems that after we give something up, we get  10  in its place. Then suddenly my father spoke up. He said, “But Peter, I gave up   11 ! What did I get?” I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 12 , he answered his own question: “I 13 the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes,  14 hope and thankfulness, I was also  15  by his words.

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “ I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students has said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mother love you?” “ Of course,” they answered.
“ How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned. So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then do you say‘I love you’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favourite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “ Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
小題1: Chinese people prefer to show love by __________.
A．saying “I love you”B．cooking
C．getting good gradesD．doing something helpful
小題2: The underlined word “stunned” mean________ in Chinese.
A．好笑B．難受C．震驚D．有趣
小題3: In paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?
A．She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B．She loves her daughter and misses her.
C．She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D．She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
小題4: Which of the following statements is RIGHT?
A．Chinese people never show love to their mothers.
B．Chinese students express love to their mothers by studying hard and trying to get good jobs.
C．In foreign countries people have great depth of feelings to say “I love you”.
D．People from different countries will never understand each other.
小題5: What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Say “I love you” more to your family.
B．Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
C．Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
D．Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.

People often complain they face too many problems. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up.
People have money problems, work problems, family problems, health problems..... the list goes on. And we usually think that people who are happy and successful are having fewer problems than us. Look at the successful people we often mention. They have money they need, they have jobs they love, they have good friends, they have obedient(孝順的) kids, they have the successful business, they have loving families etc. Everything goes well with them. That is why they are happy and successful. But in fact, the more successful you are, the more problems you have to face. More success means more challenges they have to face, and more success means more risks they have to take.
Young and old, rich and poor, successful and unsuccessful, educated and uneducated, all have problems. The difference is that their problems are different from each other.  Rich and successful have big problems. Poor and unsuccessful have small problems. Still they all have problems which they can face. Successful people are successful just because they are ready to face challenges larger than ordinary people.
Winning the US elections(選舉) makes Obama very happy. As a new US president, he has to face bigger challenges. He has to be more careful about his work he does, or he will lose his position(位置). Looking at him, we may say he is lucky, happy and successful. But, I think, as the US president, he has more pressure than an ordinary person.
小題1:You will be a/an ______ person if you are afraid to face more challenges.
A．ordinaryB．successfulC．famousD．educated
小題2:From this article we know that President Obama ______.
A．has fewer problemsB．was born in a rich family
C．takes more risksD．is a successful businessman
小題3:The main idea of this article is _______.
A．why poor people are always poor
B．how many problems people usually have to face
C．how lucky and happy President Obama is
D．how to deal with problems in life

Crazy is our new normal. With two teenage boys and three little boys, our family is restless- to the baseball field, track field (田徑場(chǎng)) and piano lessons. Even though we've limited（限制） each boy's activities and try our best to spare some time for the family, it seems that we're always in a hurry.
"Accept it. Roll with it," my husband, Lonny, says, "It's going to be like this for a while."
He is right. It's likely that life will continue to go forward before it slows down. But I remembered the peaceful, quiet days that our family used to enjoy. I missed long walks through the park when we held the boys' little hands. I wished for lazy Saturday afternoons under the tree in our backyard. I wanted to go back a few years, when busyness was the exception and not the rule（慣例）．
One night, after a particularly ful day and evening games, our family gathered on the porch (門廊) for ice cream. Two parents, two teens, and three small boys sat on one old swing and a couple of rocking chairs. We were together, in one place, for a short period of time.
The moon was full. The Mississippi River, flowing past our home, was smooth as glass. I put my own arms around the son who sat on my lap and breathed in deeply his little-boy smell -dirt and sweat. My heart was peaceful and satisfied.
I realized that though crazy is our new normal, happiness is as usual. They may look different from before, but they are still there - even if they're in the form of a single moment on the porch. Maybe I just need the eyes to see.

Bringing a giraffe into the world is a tall order. A baby giraffe is born 10 feet high and usually lands on its back. Within seconds it rolls over its legs under its body. Then the mother giraffe rudely introduces its children to the reality(現(xiàn)實(shí)) of life.
In his book, A View from the Zoo, Gary Richmond describes how a new-born giraffe learns its first lesson.
The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she puts herself directly over her child. She waits for about a minute, and then she does the most unreasonable(不合情理的) thing. She throws her long leg and kicks her baby, so that it’s sent sprawling(四腳朝天).
When it doesn’t get up, the process is repeated again and again. The struggle to rise is important. As the baby giraffe grows tired, the mother kicks it again. Finally, it stands for the first time on its shaky(搖晃的) legs. Then the mother giraffe kicks it off its feet again. Why? She wants it to remember how it got up. In the wild, a baby giraffe must be able to get up as quickly as possible to stay with its group, where there’s safety.
Another writer named Irving Stone understood this. He spent a lifetime studying greatness, writing stories about such men as Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh, Sigmund Freud, and Charles Darwin.
Stone was once asked if he had found something that runs through the lives of all these great people. He said, “I write about people who sometime in their life have a dream of something. They’re beaten over the head, knocked down and for years they get nowhere. But every time they stand up again. And at the end of their lives they’ve realized some small parts of what they set out(著手) to do .”
小題1:What does the underlined part “a tall order” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．A happy thing.B．A difficult task.
C．A big dream.D．A beautiful scene.
小題2:What does the book A View from the Zoo talk about?
A．A new-born giraffe’s first lesson.
B．A mother giraffe’s story.
C．The lives of some great people.
D．The way for a giraffe to stand up.
小題3:Why were some great people mentioned in the passage?
A．Because they all worked hard.
B．Because they all liked to read some special stories.
C．Because they were born with some illnesses.
D．Because they were similar to giraffes in some ways.
小題4:Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?
A．This passage is a description of giraffes’ living habits.
B．Baby giraffes can’t stand up until three months old.
C．Irving Stone spent a lifetime studying and writing stories about great people.
D．The great people can’t stand up after they’re knocked down for years.
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Raise a Baby Giraffe.
