When I was a child, my parents taught me the difference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. My mother told me that you don’t   36  other kids because you would not like    37  if they hit you. That makes   38   . But, if my mother told me to be “nice” to someone, it was too vague for me to   39 . But if she said that being nice               40   delivering daffodils to a next door neighbor, that I could understand.
I believe that doing practical things can  41   the world a better place. When I was in my twenties I thought a lot about the meaning of life. At the time, I was getting started in my  42    of designing more humane facilities for animals at big farms and slaughterhouses(屠宰場). Many people would think that to even work at a slauterhouse would be inhumane, but they   43  that every human and animal   44  dies. In my mind, I had a(n)   45   of a way to make tht dying as   46  as possible.
Back in the 1970s, I went to fifty different feedlots and big farms in Arizona and Texas and       47  them work cattle. I cataloged the parts of each facility that ­  48  effectively. I took the best loading ramps, and other components and  49    them into an ideal new system. I get great   50  when a farmer tells me that my corral (畜欄)  51  helps cattle move through it quietly and   52 . When cattle stay calm, it means they are not scared. And that makes me feel I’ve    53  something important.
Some people might think if I could snap my   54  I’d choose to be “normal”. But, I wouldn’t want to give up my    55   to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault． "or "I know I'm late,  but it's not my fault;  the car broke down． "It is probably not your fault,  but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser． You have no power and can do nothing that helps change the situation． However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation．This is the winner's key to success．
Winners are great at overcoming problems． For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly．Or, you might start to carry along with you useful phone numbers, so you can call for help when in need．For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person．Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person．You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well．         
This is what being a winner is all about－creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
小題1:According to the passage, winners           ．
A．deal with problems rather than blame others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．have responsible and able colleagues
D．blame themselves rather than others
小題2:The underlined word remedy in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to        ．
A．avoidB．acceptC．improveD．consider
小題3:When your colleague brings about a problem, you should           ．
A．find a better way to handle the problem
B．blame Nm for his lack of responsibility
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．ask your boss for help
小題4:When problems occur, winners take them as            ．
A．excuses for their failuresB．barriers to greater power

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

It's common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don't speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it’s the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child's world. As a parent you’ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It's a huge change for everyone involved.
There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child's departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye – but that might not show!
Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you've unpacked the car and looked around your child's new living accommodations. If you can, save your tears for the car – you'll make things easier on your child and yourself.
The more you've invested in being a parent, the more you'll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you've been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.
It's also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve(悲痛). Don't expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you've always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.
Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn't respond immediately – remember, they're starting a new and busy life.
小題1:Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college?
A．Because the absence of their child makes them feel lonely.
B．Because their children will start a new life in college.
C．Because it means the end of love between parents and their child.
D．Because they are no longer the main focus of their children’s life.
小題2:The underlined word “wrench” in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of ________.
A．sorrowB．regret C．angerD．love
小題3:What does good parenting consist of?
A．Supporting your child in different ways all the time.
B．Congratulating yourself when your child goes to college.
C．Preparing your child to stand on their own feet in the future.
D．Investing as much as possible in the growth of your child.
小題4:What’s NOT advised as the way to recover from your child’s departure?
A．Developing a new hobby or sport

My grandparents built and lived in a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives. They actively practiced living a   21  life. Saving and avoiding overspending was their life   22  for their whole life.   23  seeking satisfaction through material items, they chose to spend   24  time together, with family, and in nature.
Over the years my grandparents noticed   25  changes in their community. Every year more farmland was   26  to build larger and larger homes. With houses’ prices   27 , many of their neighbors sold their little homes and lands.   28  only their small house was still on the block, surrounded by a sea of tall buildings. Countless family members   29  my grandparents to expand their home. But they didn’t want a bigger place and were   30  with what they had.
　　In many ways, I’ve modeled my life after my grandparents. Through their example I learned an important   31  : It is absolutely possible to live a small and fulfilling life.
　　My grandparents lived in a small home, but they owned a(n)   32  garden. They loved gardening deeply because it not only   33  their grocery bill, but also improved their health and gave them a(n)   34  to be outside. They said, “  35   you live in a small home or an apartment, you don’t have to give up gardening.”

My grandparents taught me that living well on   38  isn’t about feeling bad for myself.   39 , it’s about giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to seek your dreams. You know: Becoming debt free, living in a smaller home, and others are a few ways to   40  your life.
