My cap had gone away, and my feet 36 . The loaded plates I carried 37 to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didnt seem able to do anything 38 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream 39 a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father 40 at me as he handed my tip. “Well done,” he said, “youve 41 us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness 42 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how Id like my first day, I said, “43 !” Those few words of praise had 44 everything. Praise is like 45 to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 46 , while most of us are only too 47 to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are 48 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why-when one word of praise can bring such 49 ?Its strange how chary we are about praising. Perhaps its 50 few of us know how to accept it. Its 51 rewarding to give praise in areas in which 52 generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets plimented (admired) for a glorious picture, a cook for a 53 meal.

Here are 5 that helped define the national character. Most from a century or so ago, they still entertain, teach and inspire American people.Moby-Dick by Herman MelvilleFirst published in 1851, the book tells the adventure stories of Captain Ahab and his continuous hunting for the white whale and draws us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.The Education of Henry Adams by Henry AdamsAwarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1918, the book provides insight into Adams family, including his experience as a private secretary to his father, minister to England during the American Civil War.Leaves of Grass by Walt WhitemanWhen Whiteman published Leaves of Grass in 1855, he wanted to define the American experience sing for the new country in a new voice, reflecting the great changes in the American literary world that had taken place during his lifetime.Poems by Emily DickinsonAn enthusiastic poet whose works have had a considerable influence on modern poetry, Dickinsons frequent use of dashes(破折号), sporadic(零星的)capitalization of nouns, and unusual metaphors(隐喻) has contributed to her reputation as one of the most innovative poets of the 19th-century American literature.The song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth LongfellowFirst published in 1855, this is Longfellows most popular and most recognized poem, showing the heroic life and death of a magic American Indian sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in the ways of peace.56. If you want to learn about a magic American Indian, you can choose _.A. Moby-Dick B. Leaves of Grass C. Poems D. The song of Hiawatha57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Of the five works, four are poems. B. Walt Whiteman was an enthusiastic poet and singer.C. The Education of Henry Adams is a non-fiction book.D. Of the five books, Moby-Dick was published last.BSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly es down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont e 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 is.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 bee great at certain things, itll require even more time, 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 bee good at it.When you see people exhibiting some 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 anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to bee 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 of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will bee really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.58. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for successC. the standards of success D. the importance of success59. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _.A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his workC. it takes a lot of time to succeed D. one gives up his work easily60. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.B. Successful people like to show their great skills.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.61. 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. One cannot succeed without time and practice.CA mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmers mouse trap alone.That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmers wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmers wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soups main ingredient. His wifes sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmers wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat. So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.62. We may infer that the passage is most probably a _.A. fairy tale B. fable C. science fiction D. news report63. We could see from the passage that the mouse was _.A. kind and warm-hearted B. well-informedC. good at cheating others D. foolish and rude64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The pig was paratively less friendly than the others in the farmyard.B. The mouse trap that the mouse discovered was not a practical one.C. The farmer and his wife trapped an evil snake that night.D. The farmers family was in fact poor and they had no friends.65. The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to _A. the mouse B. the pig C. the snake D. the chicken66. What can we learn from the story?A. Better safe than sorry. B. Traps are usually well disguised.C. To help others is just to save you. D. To keep the balance of nature is the duty of us all.DTwo things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and its true. I would be a different person if my mom hadnt turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly dont know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we plained about not having what another kid did, wed hear something like, “I dont care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room, a car for your birthday or a sweet party.” We had to earn our allowance（零花钱）by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings,and if something was lost, it was not replaced.It was summer and one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed-and there it was in the window, white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew-I knew-I had to have it.“Its beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her, “What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first, I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldnt stand it any longer: “Mom, please can I please, please get it? Ill do extra chores for as long as you say, Ill do anything, but I need that basket, I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”I was desperate.“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough itll be gone!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.“He cant hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, Please?”“There might be another way,” she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldnt find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount wed agreed upon.Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl Id played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster, this horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson. Ive taken with me through my life: “Honey, Your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”67. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. The chil
