Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever used to help me make the big 6 in life.

Your time is limited, so don’t 11 it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 12 by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the 13  to follow your beliefs and goals. They somehow already know what you really want to 14. Everything else is 15.

I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I 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. Our dog, whom we loved very much, 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 angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and suddenly, I thought of my dog bit my father 20 years ago. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal(背叛，辜负).

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. Much the same for the other story when I learned my friend’s wife had just left him.

We all have different opinions and feelings. And all of those can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by other people,because they are not in the same situation with you.

If you meet someone who acts in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient. You may turn around a story by your actions.

1.What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph 1?

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.Why did the author’s friend say harsh words to the author?

A.He was ill-tempered.

B.He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.

C.He was bothered by an unexpected visit.

D.They once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author.

3.What’s the author’s advice to us?

A.Help those in need.

B.Look before you leap.

C.Respect for others is a kind of virtue.

D.Learn to put yourself in others’ shoes.

When I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies, something happened a couple of years ago suddenly hit me.

I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.

The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets were valid(有效的) for one year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.

But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 20 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the local Women’s Transition House, a place where women and children could go when avoiding a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.

My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year’s Day. I knew that the Women’s Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.

I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women’s Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their children, which made me really happy.

1.How did the author get the tickets?

A.By visiting a website by chance. B.By using some Cokes to get them.

C.By getting a code at the bottom of a bottle. D.By winning the prize for drinking Cokes.

2.How many tickets did the author and his friends use?

A.About 22. B.About 32. C.About 52. D.About 365.

3.Which of the following best describe the author ?

A.Lucky and caring. B.Creative and careful.

C.Responsible and cheerful. D.Thankful and generous.

4.Which of the following proverb can best explain the main idea of this article？

A.The roses in their hands, the flavor in mine.

B.Good luck favors those who are always ready.

C.Actions speak louder than words.

D.God helps those who help themselves.
