2、 He was telling whoever he was talking with something about “a thousand marbles”.I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say “Let me tell you something, Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities (优先考虑的事).”He continued, “You see, I sat down one day
3、 and did a little math. The average person lives for about seventy-five years. Now then, I multiplied 75 by 52 and I came up with 3,900 which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now stick with (继续倾听的话) me, Tom. Im getting to the important part.”“It wasnt
4、until I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays that I started thinking about all this in any detail,” he went on. “I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought 1,000 marbles. I took them ho
5、me and put them inside a large, clear plastic container. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away.“I found that by watching the marbles diminish (变少), I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth r
6、un out to help get your priorities straight.“It was nice to meet you, Tom. I hope you spend time with your family, and I hope to meet you again.”You could have heard a pin drop on the radio when the old man signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had panned to work that morning. I
7、nstead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. “Come on, honey, Im taking you and the kids to breakfast. And can we stop at a toy store while were out? I need to buy some marbles.”21.The underlines word “intrigued” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ _”.A.encouraged B.moved C.worried D.attract
8、ed22.The old man started practicing the theory of “a thousand marbles” _.A.in his twenties B.in his fifties C.in his seventies D.in his eighties23.What life lesson does this text teach us?A.Spending more time with our family. B.Enriching our life with marble games.C.Its never too late to love our fa
9、mily. D.Learning to live life to the fullest. BThe world was mysterious (神秘的) when I was a child, so miracles (奇迹) were welcome wonders. Now, there doesnt seem to be space for them in this world I so intelligently understand. Perhaps its from years of working around sick and often dying children, wa
10、tching time and time again as a child slips away from the arms of a begging mother. I have stopped hoping as the parents around me hope. I recently cared for a patient near the end of his life. Medically speaking, his situation was hopeless, which made me feel helpless and defeated.His mother came i
11、n to see him. I had prepared myself to support her, imagining she would crumble (崩溃) into a pile of tears. “Our God is faithful,” she said, with a smile on her face and the sunshine of hope in her eyes. “Cancer is faithful,” I muttered (嘀咕) in my mind. “We still believe he can heal him,” she continu
12、ed, as if she had heard what I was thinking. I provided updates on his body. In a laundry list of updates, perhaps two things were positive. She thanked me for the information, repeating back the minor positive notes I had given. I became kind of angry. And I wanted to ask, “Do you really not unders
13、tand the gravity (严重性) of this illness?” And then, yet again, as if she had heard me, she replied with this: A positive attitude gives us power over our circumstances, rather than allowing our circumstances to have power over us. I was shocked. Here I was, judging her positive attitude as a fault. I
14、 completely disregarded the choice to believe in something more powerful than me, more healing than the doctors on our team. It wasnt blind faith. It was strength and devotion. When I came out of the room, tears welling in my eyes, I sat at my computer and looked down at a small plate of candies she
15、 must have left for me on her way into the room. A hand written note was laid above them: Kate, your devotion is so appreciated, it is your devotion that I am appreciating today. Because of you, I am begging again to believe in miracles.24.The author is probably a _.A.nurse B.patient C.teacher D.mot

18、sm (办法，途经) when we are truly unhappy. However, there are many times when we dont try our best and just want things to work our way. We may try to cover our faults by complaining about the unfairness of it all. These are expressive complaints where the complainer just wants to let out his/her anger o
19、r frustration, with no real intention of solving the problem. The complainer expects pity and recognition from the listeners although the results often disappoint him/her.Sometimes, we use complaints as a conversation starter. Conversations that start with a complaint often have a domino effect. It
20、may cause the listener to include his/her complaints in the conversation as well, which makes you think that you are not the only one facing problems. However, your good feeling wont last long as long as you are always focusing on the negative.When complaining becomes a habit, you complain to anyone
21、 that comes around. Negativity that comes from complaining kills creativity and innovation (创新). Habitual complainers are less likely to come up with new ideas, as they are busy finding faults and discourage others from trying new things by making them feel that they wont work. When you spend time w
22、ith people who constantly complain, you are likely to view things in a negative light. This will make things worse. This can affect the way you perceive your own situation, and even the people around you.Though expressing your feelings may momentarily improve your state of mind, it could sometimes h
23、ave a bad effect on the listeners state of mind.

27、We always ride together; sometimes he leads; sometimes I do.

59、China becomes a great hit of this year, arousing a heated discussion.Many people like this program very much. There are several reasons accounting for this. Firstly, they hold the view that the singers can try to seize every opportunity to realize their dream for music. Whats more, their spirit and
60、confidence make us moved and encouraged. Last but not least, anyone can rise to fame overnight through hard work. However, some people think otherwise, arguing that its a wonderful program. For one thing, there are too many advertisements and it seems to care too much about the profit. For another,
61、some singers on the stage hide their real experiences, not showing their real life. At times, the judges tend to give high marks to those who are famous singers, which is unfair. From my point of view, it does more harm than good as many students may form a false idea that they can succeed without pains. As teenagers, we are supposed to take a right attitude towards reality shows. What matters most is to follow our own dreams and realize our potential.
