12．I have a younger brother．To me，he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe，with blond hair and blue eyes．To others，he is different．Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention，others see a mentally disabled boy，a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself．I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine．Others see an annoyance，a bother．
This is not to say that I have never felt resentful（怨恨的） toward Joe．He is my brother，and with that comes responsibility．"Gina，could you stay in tonight and watch your brother？""Gina，do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper（尿布） later，please？""Could you come home right after school today and get Joe off the bus？"
These are phrases that I have heard since I was twelve．And sure，they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent．I would think：that's not fair!Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club，or get extra help from that teacher．Or，all my friends are going out tonight，why can't I？And，how come I have to feed him？He is not my son!
However，the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him．Besides making me responsible from a young age，and helping me be more accepting  of all kinds of people，he has taught me to be thankful for what I have．
I know that there are moment in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience．He will never laugh so hard that he cries．He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card．He will never comfort a  best friend crying on his shoulder．And he will never know how much his family love him．
Because he will never know，it is up to me to know，every second，how lucky I am．It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest，and that you should always，always be grateful that God，or whoever are the powers that be，gave you the ability to live your life the way you were meant to live it．

60．We know from the first paragraph that Gina's brotherC．
A．causes trouble to neighbors
B．pays more attention to others
C．lives with mental disability
D．considers daily routine a bother
61．If Mother asks Gina to look after her brother now，what will she probably answer？B
A．I'm afraid not．  B．No problem！C．It depends．  D．It's not fair！
62．The passage intends to tell us that we shouldB．
A．value the glory of success
B．a(chǎn)ppreciate what life gives us
C．comfort unfortunate people
D．treasure meaningful moments．

17．Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone's situation．If you want to know how to be a good listener，read on to get started！
（36）B It's easy to get lost in yourself and to only consider the impact of the other person's"telling"on you．But active listening is blocked by your inward thinking．On the contrary，you must look at the problems from the other person's angle．
Don't try to help immediately．Some people think that they should find a quick and easy solution to the person's problem while listening．Instead，you should take the time to think of a"solution"only if he or she is really looking for help in this way．（37）G
Remember what you've been told．（38）DSo，if the person is telling you about his problems with his best friend，you can at least remember his name so you can refer to him that way．If you don't remember any names，details，or important events，then it won't sound like you're listening．
Encourage the speaker with body language．（39）C．Also says little things such as"Yeah"when the person is talking about something that they want you to agree on or"Wow"when the person talks about a tragedy or something bad done against them．These words betray that you're not only listening but paying attention．
Make eye contact．If you give your friend the impression you aren't interested and are distracted，they may never open up to you again．（40）E

A．Wait for the person to open up．
B．Place yourself in the other person's shoes．
C．Show them that you care by nodding at right times so they know you're listening．
D．Being a good listener is to actually absorb the information the person has told you．
E．Focus directly on their eyes so that they will know certainly that you are absorbing every single word．
F．Instead of the conclusion，let the speaker know that you are ready to listen and to be a sounding board．
G．If you start thinking of all of the quick measures for the person's problems，you won't be listening attentively．

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.

Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

1.There is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _________.

A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves

B.talking to ourselves always gives us courage

C.we can benefit from talking to ourselves

D.it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone

2.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely ________.

A.remind ourselves B.praise ourselves

C.make ourselves relaxed D.give ourselves amusement

3.The author would probably hold the view that _________.

A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers

B.negative words may motivate us to make more progress

C. people tend to remember friendly words

D.it is better to think twice before talking to others

4.In which column of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?

A.News. B.Advice column. C.Health. D.Language.
