I am the mother of a five-year-old girl now, ...

I am the mother of a five-year-old girl now, but I’ll never forget some of the best lessons my mother taught me.

Lesson 1---Always be there for your child

I can’t tell you the last time my parents missed a big event in my life; it never happened. Whether it was a play, or even just a practice---my parents were always there for me. As an only child, they cherished everything in my life.

Lesson2---Hide in the bathroom

For years I wondered why my mother had made the bathroom her own personal library and would stay there forever. Now I know it’s the only place for her to have at least two minutes of peace and quiet. Well, I try to, but that’s quite difficult with two cats, a dog, a kid, a husband and only one bathroom.

Lesson3---Get involved(参与)

I was lucky in having parents who let me do anything they think was good. Now today, I am fond of being active and involved. Whether it is a sports game or a volunteering group, or just playing with my daughter, I love to be involved.

Lesson4---It’s OK to fail

My parents weren’t perfect and that was OK. I know I’m not perfect and I hope my daughter knows that’s OK. Families love one another no matter what happens. If you fail, you learn from the mistakes and keep right on going.

Parents are so important to a child’s growth and development and I’m so glad that I had great parents to follow.

1.The big event in the writer’s life 　　　　　 .

A. was seldom missed by her parents

A. To set up her own personal library.

B. To do her housework well every day.

C. To find a quiet or peaceful place to read.

D. To stay in her bathroom for a long time.

4.When her kid knew it was OK that she wasn’t perfect, the kid 　　　　　 .

A. thought being bad was nothing

B. would love her more than others

C. tried her best to do better than she

D. would have a good mind if she failed

5.What can we learn from this passage?

A. The writer hardly follow her parents now.

B. The writer has raised two dogs, a cat and a kid.

C. Getting involved leads to the writer’s active life.

D. The writer’s mom likes reading in the bathroom.

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升)， the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

1.The best title of this passage probably is ________.

A．Love your friends                       B．Live a real life

C．Don’t waste time                      D．Be a good mother and wife

2.How did the author form her view of life?

A．By working and social experience

B．Learning from her friends.

C．Through an unfortunate experience.

D．Because of her children and husband.

3.The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph probably means ______.

A．it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life

B．it is very hard to live a real life

C．it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life

D．it is so easy to make a living

4.What is the author’s attitude toward work?

A．Do it well to serve others.

Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl.

One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl(珍珠) necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace, and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I'll tell you what. I'll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don't forget that for your birthday Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?" Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.

Jenny worked on her chores very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands（差事）.

The only time she didn't wear them was in the shower. Her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!

Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story.

One night when he finished the story, he said, "Jenny, do you love me?"

"Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you," the little girl said.

"Well, then, give me your pearls."

"Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!" Jenny said. "But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay?"

"Oh no, darling, that's okay." Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night, little one."

A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, "Do you love me?"

"Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you."

"Well, then, give me your pearls."

"Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She's my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and braid（编辫子）it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy," the little girl said to her father.

"No, that's okay," her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. "God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams."

Several days later, when Jenny's father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling." Here, Daddy," she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father's hand.

With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet (天鹅绒) box. Inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing.

I'm a blind teenager girl, but I am ashamed of it if it is known.　 I refuse to use a white stick and hate asking for help, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I am not like them.　 I must be a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there are all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.

One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something.　 "I'm awfully sorry," I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.　 This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.　 No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.

Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound.　 Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.

But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.　 Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did.　 But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.　 I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.　 Then I gave up.　 I decided to walk on to the next stop.

A. she thinks she might be cheated

B. asking for help will cost her money

C.　 she is normal and independent

D. she can't stand being found different from others

2. According to the passage, after the girl got off the bus that evening, she　　　　　　　　 .

A. began to run away

B. knocked down a person as usual

C. hit a lamppost by accident

D. made several apologies to an old man

3. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?

A. All cars have exactly the same sound.

B. No bus would stop to pick up a blind girl.

C. Some lorries may have the same sound as that of the bus.

D. It took long for the girl to recognize the sound of a bus.

A. to find people there
