24、t of their free time with their friends. But there were always those special times when we were reminded again how much we loved one another.Make a Date with Your TeenI recall how delighted my 14yearold daughter, Alisa, felt when I asked her to see a movie, Cinema Paradise, and I wanted this story t
25、o give her a sense of what it had felt like for me to grow up as an Italian boy in a small town, where life was simple. I wanted her to know better how her father had been brought up. But I made it very clear that what I wanted most was a special date with my daughter.We both laughed and cried durin
26、g the same scenes in the movie. She adored the movie. I knew she would because I knew her. I decided we should complete our evening with some lively conversation at a nearby bakery. I told her the movie was now so much more special for me because I had shared it with her. She smiled. She understood.
27、Seize the MomentI saw my 13yearold son, Jason, tearfully searching our vegetable garden for a place to bury his pet boa constrictor (大蟒蛇). Because my son had suffered with asthma and allergies (哮喘和过敏), he could never have the dog, the faithful friend that he wanted so much.We dug the grave, said our
28、 goodbyes and then he cried. He asked me why every pet he owned died so soon. I just held him close. We both knew something happened that day in the garden.

31、 example to children is important B.the author advises people to make memories with their teens C.the son was touched by what his father had done D.knowing childrens daily activities is necessaryCAt times Marty made it sound too easy. On a visit to his home I heard him say, “People need to decide to
32、 be happy.”I pressed him. “What do you mean by that?” His face took on an skeptical look. “You have to ask me?” At that moment I felt a little foolish. Complex human problems, at least to me, often prevent people from being happy. To Marty it was a matter of common sense. I wondered, what was I miss
33、ing? That night Marty told me a story that was very personal for him. I knew Marty and Mickey had four children. I didnt know there had been a fifth. She was their second child. She died shortly after birth. “The funeral director was a super guy,” Marty said. “He knew we didnt have any money, but he
34、 told us he would take care of our little girl. He went out and built a wood casket (小盒) for her.”Martys voice started to break. “He only charged us five dollars. Its stuff like that you can look for the good in people and youll find the good. You can look for the bad in people and youll find the ba
35、d.”I didnt know what it was like to grow up poor. Martys life was filled with minimum-wage jobs, borrowing on insurance policies, and working overtime to make a little more money. In my lifetime I had seen people in similar circumstances grow angry. Bitterness took hold of their lives and choked the
36、m.“I never had much money, and I dont think I ever will.” Marty said. “People think they need to have a lot of things to make them happy. They ought to look around and see whats really important.” When Marty looked around, he saw the most beautiful girl in the world as his wife, four children who lo
37、ved him, a home he took pride in, and a job that made him feel alive. He was happy because, in his mind, he had it all. 63. The underlined word “skeptical” in the text can be replaced by “_”.

The meaning of kindnessD Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up
40、 in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life i
41、s. However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, itll require even more tim
42、e, time that most people wont put in. This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. When you see people exhibiting some
43、 great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong
44、anyway. Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level
45、of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.67. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _. A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success68. Successful people sugges
46、t doing what one loves because _. A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his work C. it takes a lot of time to succeed D. one gives up his work easily69. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. B. Successful people like to show their great sk
47、ills. C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.70. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Having a goal is vital to success. B. Being good is different from being great. C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success. D.
