I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs．What set him so far apart from others?
He   1  that, in his opinion, it all came from an   2  from his mother that happened when he was about 2 years old．He had been trying to   3___a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his   4  on the slippery bottle and it   5 , making its contents pouring all over the kitchen floor．
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of   6  at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said: “Robert, what a   7  and wonderful mess you have made! I have  8  seen such a huge pool of milk．Well, the damage has already been done．Would you like to  9  down and play in the milk for a few minutes   10  we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did．After a few minutes, his mother said: “You know, Robert,   11  you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and  12  everything to its proper order．So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge （海綿）, a towel, or a mop．Which do you  13  ?” He chose the sponge and together they  14  the milk．
His mother then said: “You know, what happened just now is a   15  experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two   16  hands．Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can   17____ a way to carry it without dropping it．” The little boy   18  that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it．
This scientist then   19  that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make   20 ．
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him?

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 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 trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of 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 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.
小題1:In this passage, the writer wants to tell us ______.
A．what to do in our life
B．where to go with other persons

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 easily forget the person.
小題3:If you put yourself in another person’s position, ______.
A．you shouldn’t do what will hurt other people
B．you should put on other people’s shoes
C．you should believe in other people
D．you should depend on your imagination

Three years ago when I was still in the university, I also worked at a restaurant.   
An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular customers at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known.
Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special page for word puzzles and among his peers (同齡人), Mr. Filio held the record for solving all the puzzles in less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and for months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.
Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me with a smile and said, “No one has ever beaten me before. You’re the first. I’ll have a prize for you tomorrow.”
The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游戲) set. I would have never been able to afford one like that by myself. Then he said to me, “Kate, what do you think is man’s final goal in life? Happiness, isn’t it? You are happy and that should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lifetime searching for that. Be thankful that you have found it.” I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably forever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not having much money.
He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again.

A．was generous to young people

How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, "This is my destiny(命運(yùn)).I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
小題1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.
A．doesn’t need improvingB．couldn’t be improved
C．will be better some dayD．will be worse in the future
小題2: What does the author think of the woman’s life?
A．PositiveB．PassiveC．ColorfulD．Disturbing
小題3:Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?
A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B．Your luck can be changed by your own efforts.
C．You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
小題4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________.
A．positive thinking B．positive action
C．hope for the bestD．intention to succeed
小題5: The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________.
A．understand yourselfB．improve your life
C．believe in yourselfD．change your normal way

Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes mostly because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” or “I’ll be happy when I earn that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you want.
This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”
It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.
Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.
I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.
小題1:The second paragraph mainly tells us that people seek happiness_______.
A．in the same wayB．in different waysC．by working hardD．by taking drugs
小題2: What does the underlined phrase “This thinking” refer to?
A．The thinking of being promoted.
B．The giving up of happiness.
C．The process and journey of finding happiness.
D．The misunderstanding of happiness.
小題3:The underlined word “stimulus” in para.4 probably means_______.
A．something causes an actionB．something helps to expand
C．a(chǎn)ttentionD．improvement
小題4: The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to________.
A．tell people how to enjoy happiness
B．encourage people to seek happiness
C．express his attitude towards happiness
D．criticize the wrong ideas about happiness
