Once President Roosevelt"s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. 1 this, one of
Roosevelt"s friends wrote to him and 2 him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt 3
immediately, saying, "Dear friend, thank you for your letter to 4 me. I am all right now. I think I should
thank God. This is because of the following three 5 : Firstly, the thief only stole things from me 6 did not
hurt me at all; 7 , the thief has stolen some of my things 8 all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was
the man 9 me who became a thief."
It is certainly 10 for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt had three reasons to be
11. This story tells us we should learn to be grateful in our life. There is a 12 from Mahatma Gandhi-Live as you were to die tomorrow; learn as you were to live forever. Great people are always 13 their love to
the world, just as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and so on. How about us?
You can not do 14 , but still you can do something. So, be grateful to your life, all the people and the
things in your life.
Be grateful to nature, for the fresh air you 15 , the clean water you drink, and the beautiful flowers you
smell.
Be grateful to your parents, for they 16 to you and taught you right from wrong.
Be grateful to your 17 , for they taught you with great patience.
Be grateful to your friends, for you have known 18 since you were 9 or 10 and faced the 19 together
for so many years.
20 I want to say: being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life. Why don"t we have a try?

D. Speechless | | 阅读理解。 | I"d been thinking of it so long; it seemed like the only thing to do-to show my baby, who had eyes as
green as water and whose name means the sea, the ocean.
"Babies are supposed to instinctually know who they daddy is," Gerald, Dooriya"s daddy, said,
holding Dooriya before him. "But she don"t recognize nothing."
Everybody had something to say about raising my baby, but none of them actually did any raising.
Taking Dooriya to see the ocean had become the only thing that kept me from feeling like my life was an
everlasting losing race, this vision of what could be for my little girl.When I told Momma about my plans
to visit the lighthouse (灯塔) at Cape Hatteras, she just spun her broken record.
"That baby"11 never understand a thing of what she"s seeing."
"My baby book says I should treat her just like any other child. It"s good to show her beautiful things
even if she don"t know what she"s seeing. It helps her brain develop. How"s her brain gonna develop if all
she ever sees is the walls inside this crummy house?"
"That child"s brain ain"t never gonna develop.We love her, but it"s not like she"s ever gonna not be a
Mongoloid (先天愚型患者)."
I had read a half-dozen books about Down Syndrome that said stimulation (刺激) might improve a
child"s chances of developing to her fullest potential. And what"s more stimulating than a trip to see the
ocean?
Guidebooks described the area as the land of beginnings, which I liked the sound of. But before I could
map out a plan, I woke up one night when Dooriya hiccupped (打嗝).Then she just stopped breathing.
The ER doctor gave me a pamphlet on SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and said, children with
Down Syndrome are much more likely to be affected by this sort of thing.
I didn"t remember much about driving to Cape Hatteras, especially taking Dooriya from the hospital.
But up on that lighthouse, with its broad spiral running up and around it like a black and white barber"s
pole, I saw my life twist into the air.
As I climbed the winding stairs, I counted the steps, 268 in all, stopping on 77, Dooriya"s very
number of days on this planet. At the top, I held Dooriya up to the Atlantic, its cold air raising the thin
soft hair on her head.With her eyes closed and her arms spread out, it looked like she was bathing in the
warmth of the sun. | | 1. From Gerald"s words "But she don"t recognize nothing." we know ____. | A. The baby was probably born with the eye problem
B. The father thought the baby was abnormal
C. The baby could recognize nothing except her father
D. The father made up an excuse not to care for the baby | | 2. Did anybody else besides her mother actually take the responsibility to raise the baby? | A. The father.
B. The grandma.
C. Nobody.
D. The doctor. | | 3. The reason why the mother wanted to take her baby to see the ocean is that ____. | A. She believed seeing the ocean could help cure her baby"s disease
B. She wanted her baby to enjoy her remaining time
C. She believed the ocean was the land of beginnings
D. She wanted her baby to enjoy nature | | 4. Which of the following is true according to the text? | A. The doctor eventually saved the life of the baby.
B. The baby was disabled by her careless mother.
C. The baby enjoyed the sunshine while seeing the ocean.
D. The disease SIDS took away the life of the baby. | | 完形填空。 | A mother and daughter living in my community are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever come
across in my life. They are totally 1 , mixing with nobody. As they drive past neighbors they keep their
eyes looking away and make no sign of 2 . The only fame they have is making a nuisance (讨厌的人) of
themselves to the local police station by 3 music played too loud, dogs barking more than once a day
and any other petty (琐碎的) little 4 .
On moving into this neighborhood, I was 5 of these two but decided I would make up my own mind.
This proved quite a 6 to me as more than once either the mother or the daughter would knock on my
door and blast (猛烈抨击) me with some 7 or other. I 8 answered politely and made sure I 9 as they
went past my place and also made the effort now and then to make a kind 10 about their garden or pets.
Time passed and in October, as part of the Kindness Rock Give, Maureen and I decided to place a
kindness rock in their garden. Their 11 remained unchanged, however, and I continued to be as friendly
as possible. During the Easter give, we decided once again to 12 these two unhappy ladies to our list and
13 a packet of cookies on their gate. Imagine my 14 when two days later they 15 at my gate and
jokingly said they were 16 hanging their Christmas stocking on their gate, and they brought me a bunch of
flowers!
