And then five days later, I received the news that I had breast cancer. My mother
18、 and I can be competitive, but I was really not trying to 37 with her on this one.I learned a lot being a patient, and one of the surprising things was that only a small part of the cancer experience is about 38 . Most of it is about feelings and faith, losing and 39 your identity, and discovering 4
19、0 you never even knew you had. Its about realizing that the most important things in life are not things at all, 41 relationships. Its about laughing in the 42 of uncertainty and learning that the way to get out of almost anything is to say: “I 43 cancer.”So the other thing I 44 was that I dont have

So at dinner that night, our houseguest said: “You know, Deb, now youre really going to learn whats 47 .
21、 Yes, you are going to make some big changes in your life, and now youre going to start 48 about your death. Yep, this cancer is your wake-up call.” Now, these are golden 49 coming from someone who is speaking about their own experience, but when someone is telling you how you are going to feel, it
22、doesnt 50 . After my treatment, it just felt like everyone was telling me what my 51 was going to mean.It was at that point where I felt like, oh my God, this is just 52 over my life. And thats when I told myself: Take charge of your experience. Dont let it 53 you. We all know that the way to deal w

30、rved, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned onto me that these barriers were my life.” This perspective(看法) has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have. And remember that time waits for no one. So stop wai

44、rats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Scientists say the campaign planned for 2013 and 2014 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the worlds most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced ra
45、ts to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of
46、 animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.South Georgia is seven times the size of New Z
47、ealands Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Ge
48、orgia is based on New Zealands technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”The second and third stages in
49、 2013 and 2014 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring a
50、nd summer months. “Ideally wed do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”62.According to the passage, how did the rats appea
51、r on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia ? A. They escaped there from Campbell Island. B. They were introduced there by sailors accidentally. C. They were attracted there by wildlife. D. They were brought in by people deliberately.63.Which of the following is True about Peter Garden ? A. He is
52、 in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island. B. He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island. C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island. D. He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island.64.The operation o
53、f ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because _. A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn. B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time. C. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wil
54、dlife. D. the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season.65.What can we infer from the passage?. A. The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on Campbell Island. B. The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time.
55、C. The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didnt make great achievements. D. Rats arent the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife. DMost teens cant wait to learn to drive. Not so with me. Driving made me nervous. I didnt get a license until I turned 24 years
56、 old. As a result, when I first married, we only had one car and car pooled to work. My husbands hours were different from mine by one hour. I worked earlier. So he dropped me off and went to the diner to drink coffee until work time.Then, in the afternoons, I leisurely walked the three miles to his
57、 work place where I waited in his car, reading a book.One day while waiting for him, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot. It was powder blue and sleek looking. The kind of car you dream about. I was busily admiring the car, when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was probably the
58、prettiest woman I had ever seen off the movie screen.She pulled into the spot beside our car and it was all I could do not to stare. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Jet black hair and alabaster skin. Our eyes made contact and she smiled at me. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and te
59、eth like an even row of pearls. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just matched her car. Peeking through her long, softly curled hair I could see gold hoop earrings. They had to be gold to shine like that. A couple of minutes later, a nice looking man came out of the building, entered her car,
60、leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.Sitting there in my jeans, shirt and hair in a pony tail, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?Maybe I would have forgotten about her, but the following week, I saw her again. Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She
61、seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy lingered long after she drove away.Many nights when sleep evaded me, I would think about the beautiful lady. I wondered if she and her husband ate out, and where they dined, and what she was wearing. I wanted her to get out of the car a
62、nd let me see her full length. Did she wear really high heeled shoes and pants, or a skirt.I would get my answers in a couple of weeks.Sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding my book, watching her over the top of it. She was waiting and when her husband came to the car, she called to him. Th
63、ey spoke a few words and he opened the car door for her to step out. He took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She was wearing a skirt.She haltingly walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways in the
64、 car, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other one. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis on the left leg and a brace on the right leg. I couldnt watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. For weeks I had envied this woman and her way of life, while I had been able to walk three
65、miles to our car!When my husband arrived and found me crying, he immediately asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told him about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and also knew the story. The beautiful lady and her parents were in a car that either stalled or got caught on the rai
66、lroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.I prayed for forgivenes
67、s all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didnt. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money cant buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything.When you meet a person who seems
68、to be much better off than you, dont be fooled.66.

72、on is upon us, and once again, parents across the country have loaded their kids backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies. Its a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school.American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question
73、this year. The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-school and doesnt end until your child is admitted to the perfect college. Most parents are more worried than they need to be about their childrens grades, test scores and IQ. And what we dont think about eno
74、ugh is how to help our children build their characterhow to help them develop skills like perseverance, optimism, responsibility, and self-control, which together do more to determine success than S.A.T. scores or I.Q.There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our childrens school performance
75、may actually be holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills. If youre concerned only with a childs G.P.A., then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces in school. With real challenge comes the risk of real failure. And in a competitive academic environment
76、, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those
77、 who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “Overcoming those obstacles,” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective coping skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the
78、 future.”By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failurewhen we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjects theyre good atwe are denying them those same character-building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine
79、and Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and dont know how to overcome them.In the classroom and outside of it, American parents need to encourage children to take chanc
80、es, to challenge themselves, to risk failure. In the meantime, giving our kids room to fail may be one of the best ways we can help them succeed.Back to School: Why Perseverance Is More Important than Good Grades?Common phenomenaParents throughout America 71_ their kids backpacks up with snacks and

88、re 1, a farmer is burning straws, black smoke rising into the air while Picture 2 shows some volunteers launch a campaign to call attention to the issue. Obviously, the farmer hasnt recognized what damage straw burning will cause-smog, a kind of heavy air pollution. How can we deal with such a pheno
89、menon? The answer is definitely the latter. Immediate action should be taken to raise peoples awareness of environmental protection. We have only one earth. We want to bring back a blue sky. In my opinion, the government should adopt new policies to ban farmers from burning straws. Besides, various activities need to be organized to make it clear to people that everyone is responsible for a healthy environment. Meanwhile, it would be rewarding to educate people about ways of living that benefit the environment . Lets work together, right now!
