Everyone is eager for successful. But what can we succeed in life? Here are my opinion:

First, we must be friendly and kindly. It allowed us to make friends but survive wherever we are. Second, we must set a goal, which motivates us to pursue our dreams. Third, it’s better to believe in us. Only with self-confidence we realize our goals. Fourth, we should develop good characters, such as a strong will and diligence, because good qualities help us to hold on to our dreams if we get into the trouble.

As far as I’m concerning, success belongs to those who keep on trying. So let’s take action now!

I was stopped at a red light only a mile or so from my goal of my brother’s house. We were planning to drive down together to North Carolina to be with my father who was badly ill.
    As I waited at the stop light experiencing this forced slowdown, I noticed Sharper’s Florist over to the left. It was the same place where I had experienced many things— floods of memories went through my mind as the light seemed a blessing. I noticed the wine store straight ahead where my father and I had been many times before, picking out the beer of the week. We both liked German beer.
    The light finally became green and I made my left turn and drove through the poor section of our hometown. I remembered how each Thanksgiving my family would be together. I also remembered how my father would take some time out of each Thanksgiving to make sure there was no one hungry in the neighborhoods surrounding where we lived. I can remember as a young boy going with him to deliver some food. I was scared because I had never been into this part of town this deeply before.
    My father seemed unfazed (不受困扰的) by this and went about his business. The people we went to seemed to know him and gratefully accepted what he came to offer. My father seemed able to give away the food in a way that honored those he was giving to. This was not an arrogant act. He would stop at each place and talk a little, which troubled me a lot. I wanted to get the hell out of there. My father wanted to be sure everyone had food. If there were people he found who didn’t have food, he would take the time to go back and get more. That’s the kind of man he was.
24. When the father was ill, he _______.          
A. gave away food to the poor                B. lived in North Carolina

C. came to help the poor in his hometown     D. stayed at the home of the author’s brother
25. The author mentions the wine store to tell us _______.
A. the same taste as his father                 B. the life in his childhood
C. the birthplace of his father                 D. the experience with his father 
26. The author was afraid of giving away food to the poor probably because _______.
   A. he was unfamiliar with the surroundings  B. his father didn’t take good care of him

C. his father didn’t stay with him then   D. he had never met with so many poor people
27. The underlined word “arrogant” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. angry                  B. careless                C. proud          D. wild

I've watched kids chase cats, throw rocks at squirrels, kick small dogs, and    ____28____   flowers and trees. If their parents were there, wouldn't this  ____29____   ? I don't consider myself a tree protector, but I think ____30____ should teach their children how to protect our environment, because our world ____31____ more and more tree protectors. Indeed I do believe if there should be_____32_____ protectors of the nature, our _____33_____  would look more beautiful.

      Respect and ____34____ go together. A young child, who doesn't learn how to respect and care nature, will ____35____  be able to truly enjoy it. I will be one of the parents who ____36____ kids to explore nature, respect it, and learn to love it.

A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old. The two of us were on our way to 41 her parents, and my wife-her  42 . who had been gone for over a week.. We were all anxious to 43 again and as I pulled out of Mamere and Papere's driveway in Chelmsford, Hailee andI were both  44   about the trip and couldn't wait to arrive at our 45 .

    When we completed the "SEVEN"-hour trip to Toronto later that day, the reunion was absolutely 46 and I can sincerely say I enjoyed every single minute of that 47 journey.

    Hailee is at that“I want to  48  it myself' stage of her life. And if you can just get over the "hurry-up syndrome" we acquire as  49 it is wonderful to witness“. Who knew that putting a straw into the 50 in a juice box for the very first time could be such an earth-shattering（惊天动地的）event? Or being  51 enough to actually open the fridge door for the first time? Or putting on your own 52 on the right feet-would be so  53 ？

    I'll never forget the look on her face the day she was able to  54 into my truck by herself. She finally  55 on my seat, holding onto the steering wheel and declared 56 ，“I did it!" And when she could actually put her own seat belt on -what a(n) 57 ！

Have you ever watched a three-year-old  58  to sip a McDonald's milkshake through a straw? It is hard enough for an adult, too. And  59 every time the icy solution touched her lips, you could see the  60  in her eyes.1 learned that you can't hurry a child through a milkshake.

    While some dictionaries define the word "right" as "a privilege" when used in the context of "human rights", we are talking about something more basic. Originally, people had rights only because of their membership in a group, such as a family. Then, in 539 BC, Cyrus the Great, after conquering the city of Babylon, did something totally unexpected-he set all slaves free and let them return home. Moreover, he declared people should choose their own religion. Cyrus' statements are about the first "human rights" declaration in history.

    Every person has certain basic rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called "human rights" rather than a privilege, which can be taken away at someone's sudden desire. They are "rights" because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.

    Yet many people, when asked to name their rights, will list only freedom of speech and belief and perhaps one or two others. There is no question that these are important rights, but the full scope of human rights is very broad. They mean choice and opportunity. They mean the freedom to get a job, adopt a career, select a partner of one's choice and raise children. They include the right to travel widely and the right to work without trouble, abuse and threat of arbitrary(霸道)dismissal.

    They even embrace the right to leisure.   

     In ages past, there were no human rights. Then the idea turned up that people should have

certain freedoms. And that idea, following World War II, resulted finally in the document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the thirty rights to which all people are entitled.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No more than 10 words)

79. A privilege is different from Human rights in that it__________________

80. How long have human rights officially existed?

81. What's the main idea of the passage?

   They say after a parent dies, the surviving children can take on some of their parent’s characteristics. I  21  becoming anything like my dad for years  22  I wanted to be me, not him; but there I sat at his memorial service several months ago, telling myself, “ You’ve  23  a lot more of your dad in you than you think.”

    There is this phrase my dad  24  , and I know I’m going to sound  25  to complain about it, but it used to  26  me. “I am so proud of you,” he told us kids, whether we’d won a race or helped others. That should be a (n)  27  thing, but here’s what always  28  my mind: “You are taking credit for what isn’t really yours. You can be proud, but the  29  is mine.

    Your parent is doing his best to give you  30  , but you do not  31  it. “I’m so proud of you.” It came out of my dad’s mouth  32  , on those calls where I might have  33  something that happened at work or when he and Mom came to visit and we  34  the talents of our two boys. I knew the feeling of parental  35  well, especially when my boys achieved in ways that were  36  my comprehension and ability, but I looked for other ways to  37  it. “That’s an extremely good story you’ve written!” I would say about the composition. I thought that by making my praise  38  , it would feel like I was claiming their achievement less as mine and more as one they could own themselves.

    So just the other day when my older son sent me an email about his scholarship, I searched for  39   things to say, but finally  40  he doesn’t need my cleverness. They just want what my dad gave me. “I’m so proud of you,” I wrote. Just like the old man to me.

   The Wake-up Call

“What’s that?” my ten-year-old daughter, Genie, asked. She’d caught me laughing at a piece of mail I’d just opened. “Wake-up service; $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great-aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.

“Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.

“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s just outdated.”

“What’s a wake-up call？” She frowned. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.

“Who sent this flyer?” she pressed.

“Probably someone older,” I said, “and could use some money.”

Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.

“We don’t need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.

“Wait!” she shrieked.

“I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Can’t we order?”

I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, I’d visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’d announce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”

Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I’d once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore her? I Googled the flyer’s return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child. When I asked how to pay the $2.50, he answered, “Mail a check.”

Genie was happy all week. Friday night, I put the phone by her pillow so she could answer Raymond’s call. She bounded to my bedroom to tell me all about how he’d wished her a good morning and told her to have a great day, which she did.

Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush and hustle of my daily life, I’d temporarily forgotten that. I guess I just needed a wake-up call.

C. the wake-up call cost too much

D. the service it offered was outdated

  A. Throw it away.                                  B. Let Genie read it.

  C. Find out who sent it.                          D. Keep it away from Genie.

61. What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?

  A. Her own childhood experience.

  B. The less fortunate wake-up man.

C. Genie’s curiosity about the service.

D. The information she found on Google.

62. What might “other things” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Bravery and curiosity.              B. Confidence and patience.   

C. Honesty and humor.                D. Generosity and kindness.

For me, two of the loveliest words in English are “Life persists”.

I ___21___ them years ago as a college student, sitting in the library, ___22___, working on a

paper. Out of nowhere , those words came ___23___ off the page in a quote: “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of ___24___ truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”

Suddenly I wasn’t unhappy and impatient any more. Then I ___25___ my granddad. I loved to talk with him. And I was ___26___ to hear what he’d think of it.

I told him how glad I was, after a long winter, to finally see spring and ___30___ to find that quote. “Why is that?” he asked. "Well, spring is a sure ___31___ that life persists. And it just makes me ___32___. ”

He laughed again, and then in his ___33___ voice, he recited for me his ___34___“spring time” words: “The desert shall rejoice(高兴)，and ___35___ as the rose does…Even with joy and singing.”

Many years later. ___36___ my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming cactuses(仙人掌), I could ___37___ hear my granddad laughing: “The desert shall rejoice."

Life persists, and so do we, in the silence of ___38___ and the blooming of cactuses; and in the dead of ___39___ and the green of spring. Spring ___40___ us that we’re alive forever.

It might sound unbelievable that two kids under the age of ten would choose to hang out at a hotel instead of going to Disney World, just minutes away, but that’s exactly what happened when we visited the new Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort last month. What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World?

Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the front desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. Wayne used the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and talked about all of the fun things to do, like the kid’s club, the waterslides, and the game room. I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check-in — such a cool touch.

The Room: Not only were there kid-sized robes in the room, there were play things, NatGeo Kids magazines, chocolate lollypops, and milk chilling in the refrigerator. Plus, the room was designed from a family perspective. The sinks and shower settings were easily reachable, and the king bed and very comfortable sofa pull-out could easily fit a family of four, if not five. We had plenty of room.

The Pools: There’s a large shallow infinity pool. There’s a meandering lazy river. There’s a water park. There’s an area for pool volleyball and basketball. And there are two very fun waterslides. We spent many hours roaming among them all, and just hanging out in a private teepee-shaped cabana next to the waterslides. So fun!

No Surcharges: There’s no resort fee. If you want to use one of the cool cabanas around the pools, it’s included. For the kids club, you can use it as much or as little as you want to and the Hideout game room has a lot of activities, like pinball, at no cost. We took advantage of pretty much everything around the hotel except for the spa, and our final bill only showed our room charges, taxes, and meals. And if my kids were still under five, their meals would have been free.

56. The passage is written by the author mainly to ________.

A. advertise a hotel at Walt Disney World Resort

B. introduce the good service Walt Disney provides

C. recall the experience that they once had in a hotel

D. share information about a hotel near Disney World

57. Customers don’t need to pay for ________ when they stay in the hotel.

A. cool cabanas                  B. rooms                    C. the spa                          D. taxes       

58. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The hotel isn’t an ideal choice for a family of more than four.

B. The two kids of the author should have been over five years old.

C. The author spent hours playing pool volleyball and basketball.

D. The receptionist showed children around Disney World Resort.

On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.

Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.
    There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
    Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
    The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
    The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.

   A. The scenes are colorful and changeable

   B. There are many windows in the wooden house
