I'd like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four, remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion. whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn't understand it. I didn't like him anymore.
I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的) words. When the door was skimmed(砰地关上) in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog which bit my father 20 years ago or so.
What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend's wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn't seem to fit the situation, be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so and try to get to know why he had such behaviour.
1.What's the influence of the incident that happened when he was four?
A.It hurt his father's feeling deeply. B.It has puzzled the author ever since.
C.It left a deep impression on the author. D.It made the author dislike dogs.
2.What made the author think about the story of about 20 years ago?
A.The photo of the dog, B.His friend's attitude.
C.His father's wound. D.His friend’s suffering.
3.Why did the authors friend say harsh words to the author?
A.Because he was bad-tempered.
B.Because they once quarreled and lie couldn't forgive the author.
C.Because he was bothered by an unexpected visit.
D.Because he was suffering the pain of losing his wife.
4.What conclusion did the author get from the two stories?
A.Misunderstanding should be removed in time.
B.Sometimes one will be hurt without any reason.
C.Many people think more of themselves and less of others.
D.Many factors will affect one's behavior.
5.What's the author's advice to us?
A.Learn to understand others. B.Look before you leap.
C.Help those in need. D.Tolerance is a kind of virtue.

Dear John,
My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.
I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself "no more negativity" as you taught readers in your blog.
Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say "good morning" to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.
One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate (热情的) about it, I could make my life fulfilling.
All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction, Take care!
Sincerely ,
Amber
1.Amber wrote the letter mainly to______
A. introduce herself to John

D. express her thanks
2.We can infer from the passage that Amber______
A. didn't like her boyfriend
B. spent a lot of time online
C. wasn't satisfied with her job
D. received very good education
3.What is implied about John in the letter?
A. He is a very famous writer.
B. He used to live a very negative life.
C. He doesn't like sharing his life stories.
D. He likes helping others through writing positive blogs.
4.What does Amber's change tell us?
A. Practice makes perfect.
