If this isn’t true love then we don’t know what it is. High school sweethearts Leonard and Hazel Cherry passed away last Thursday just hours apart, a sweet ending to their 74-year together.
The couple were married in 1942 in Muldoon, Texas. Following their wedding ceremony at the start of World War II, Leonard enlisted in the Army Air Corps and became a B-24 bomber pilot. Luckily for the couple, he was never far from home as he was stationed at Carswell Army Air Corps Base in Fort Worth training others how to fly. Meanwhile, Hazel was a stay-at-home mom taking care of their only son, David. Once the war was over, Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth before opening an auto repair business in 1949, which the couple ran together for 31 years. The couple finally moved to Woodstock, Texas in 1980 to be close to their son and grandchildren.
In their final days, Leonard who was 95, was placed at the St. Catherine Center, a hospice (临终安养院) in Waco, Texas, while 93-year-old Hazel, who was in good health, had just moved into the village at Providence Park, a facility right next door to her husband’s.
Then on October 27, Leonard passed away just before 1 p.m. and his wife died just 10 hours later at 11 p.m.
“Every time I began to think about it, I began to smile because of how much they loved each other. In my mind my grandfather was waiting for her in heaven with open arms,” Craig Cherry told KWTX. “Even in his ninety-fifth year, he still, when he talked about her, had a sparkle (闪烁 的光) in his eye. A memorial service for them is scheduled for this Friday and I’m sure there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it，but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone，and a day to love someone，but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance(保证)that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return；but if it does not，be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one's appearance；it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth；even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile，because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream；go where you want to go；be what you want to be，because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet，enough trials(考验)to make you strong，enough sorrow to keep you human，enough hope to make you happy. The happiest people do not necessarily have the best of everything；they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry，those who appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you，it probably hurts the other person，too.
When you were born，you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die，you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
1.In this passage，the writer wants to tell us ______.
A. what to do in our life B. where to go with other persons
C. how to treat our life D. how to get on well with other persons
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If you give someone your love，you are sure to receive love in return.
B. We often don't know what we have lost until it happens someday.
C. It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.
D. If it takes you a short time to love someone，you will forget the person.
3.One should ______ the painful past according to the writer.
A. value B. remember C. consider D. forget

Everyone can benefit from better communication. 1.Of course, we know that isn’t true, but this shouldn’t stop you improving your communication skills. Here are a few tips to help you become a better communicator.
2.
Verbal (口头的) language is only one part of the communication — body language is another. If you ever wanted to know how to tell if someone is lying, body language is the answer. Your body language tells other people what you aren’t verbally saying, such as if you are anxious, confident, confused, angry or any other type of emotion or state of mind. If you become great at reading body language, it will help you become a better communicator.
Listen to others
Before you ever begin to speak, take a minute to see if anyone else has something to say. 3. Listening to others has many benefits, such as allowing you to learn new things or get information that you may later need.
Think before you speak
Your parents probably told you this as a child, but many people still do not take a moment to think about the words they are about to say. 4. There is a time and place for all words and tones of voice.
5. You will have to practice your communication skills before you can ever become an excellent communicator.
A. To become a better communicator is not an overnight thing.
B. Singing a song for them is good.
C. Become fluent in body language.
D. Don’t try to make the conversation go your way.
E. You should decide what you want to get in a conversation before you choose your words.
F. If you are too anxious, you can’t look for the right body language to use in communication.
G. In fact, if everybody were excellent communicators, the world would be a much better place.

What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板).
Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.
By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
1.The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 probably means somebody or something that is _____.
A．your slave and serves you
B．your supporter and helps you
C．under your control and obeys you
D．under your influence and follows you
2.The author intends to tell us that time _____.
A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B．could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
C．should be well managed for our own good
D．should be saved for outside interests
3.In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you _____.
A．how to keep up with the time B．how to make up for lost time
C．how to have a good time D．how to make good use of time
