There youll find the heart of this lovely munity. Its where villagers meet and greet friends.When Angelicas post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s，a villager，Pat, came up with a plan to save it. “At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations,” says Pat, “Why couldnt we do the same thing with Angelica?”Pat, who is an artist，created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel.She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U.S. Postal Service. Once approved, the drawing was carved into a cancellation stamp that could be used for one day only. The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special calling the post office Angel Station.The large increase in mail amount saved Angelicas post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.Now its tradition that on the first Friday in December，people e to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards. Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December. Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France.Because the stamp is destroyed each season, Pat draws a new angel that conveys seasons greetings from Angel Station every year. Post offices may close in other parts of the country, but this tiny one continues.1.What did Pat do to save the post office?A. She invented a new cancellation.B. She hosted Christmas celebrations.C. She gave the office a better name.D. She designed a special set of stamps.2.Which of the following can best describe Pat?A. Curious and friendly.B. Humorous and intelligent.C.

It is also the centre of local social life.D.

But you cant be successful when theres a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately, weve all been victims of betrayal. Whether weve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply cant trust anymore. 2 Its understandable, but if youre willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. 3 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best oute would be for your well-being. 4 If youve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But theres a difference between being a victim and living with a victim mentality. At some point in all of our lives, well have our trust tested or violated.You didnt lose everything.Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 5 Instead, its a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A. Learn to really trust yourself.B. It is putting confidence in someone.C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.E. Theyve been too badly hurt and they cant bear to let it happen again.F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G. Seeing the positive side of things doesnt mean youre ignoring what happened.【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了人们一旦失去了信任，如何再次建立信任。1.B 【解析】根据上句信任是我们从过去的经历中获取的一种行为和下句信任是一种冒险可知，此空填B，本句是对第一句话的进一步解释：信任是信赖某人。2.E 【解析】上句有时，人们简直无法再信任(别人)了；下句这是可以理解的，由此可推测本句应是解释人们无法信任某人的原因。故填E。3.A 【解析】由下句对自己有信心能帮助你做出更好的选择可知，前一句应是学会真正信任自己，故填A。4.C 【解析】由本段最后一句在我们生活中的某些时候，我们的信任会被检验或打破可知，此处应填C，意为不要认为自己是个受害者。5.G 【解析】副词Instead表示转折。可推测这里应是看到事物积极的一面并不意味着你无视已经发生的事。故填G。
