解析
小题1: A
解析 根据上下文得知作者起初以自己的方式评价别人的爱，以为别人的方式都不正确、不合理，包括男朋友父母的、自己父亲的和朋友的，因此此处提到男朋友父母的表达方式起初应为作者不欣赏和不喜欢的，故排除B、C、D三项。句意为：对于拜访我男朋友的父母，我记忆(remember)最多的是餐厅闹钟的滴答声。
小题2: C
解析 由后面的With so little conversation可知，作者与男朋友一家人吃饭时他们很少说话，故用silently。
小题3: A
解析 regard...as...意为“把……看作/当作．..”。由于表达爱的方式不一样，作者把男朋友家人用餐时的少言寡语当成冷漠。
小题4: C
解析 由下文父亲为儿子“wash windscreen”可知作者和男朋友是开车回去的。
小题5: B
解析 作者原来以为男朋友的父亲很冷漠，而现在却“...feel he is a caring man through the glass.”能够改变其看法的应该是细心地(carefully)擦车这一动作。punctually准时地；proudly自豪地；coldly冷漠地。
小题6: D
解析 根据下文“...when I answered the phone.”可知，D项符合语境。
小题7: A
解析 父亲在电话中指导作者如何买东西而没有给她令人愉悦的问候(greeting)，曾经这也是作者对父亲的误解原因。meeting会议；apology道歉；explanation解释，说明。
小题8: B
解析 根据下文“...we often quarreled.”可知，他的方式惹恼了作者。
小题9: B
解析 上文父亲电话的内容可看出父亲的电话很简短，并没有让作者感到温暖，也没体现出礼貌来。
小题10: D
解析 根据上句“But one day，I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his ____ morning calls.”可知，父亲下次让作者买股票时，自然要感谢他了。
小题11: D
解析 根据前半句“When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends...”可知，作者因自己的社交方式和朋友不同而失望。
小题12: C
解析 作者的朋友表达关爱的方式与作者不一样，因此，对比其朋友，作者的方式应该是及时地(without delay)回电话。
小题13: C
解析 “She wasn’t a good friend！”是作者对朋友作出的评价，而不是对朋友的感情、提议或信念。
小题14: B
解析 “My anger ____ as the holidays approached.”与“But then...”构成转折关系。“But then...”所在的一句及下文说明作者改变了对朋友的看法，故前面作者的观点依然是否定的。故选B项。
小题15: C
解析 朋友通过参加作者举办的聚会一事改变了作者的看法。host做东，作为主人组织(聚会)，符合句意。
小题16: D
解析 作者的朋友通过自己的方式表现出了其独特的关爱，让作者感到吃惊(shocked)，从而改变了她的看法。
小题17: A
解析 一旦改变了看法，作者便对自己以前认为朋友是没爱心的(uncaring)感到后悔和愧疚了。
小题18: A
解析 概括上文，作者回忆自己以前没有注意到人人都有独特的(unique)关爱方式。
小题19: B
解析 由句意可知，作者总是忽视他们独特的表达方式，期望他们按照她自己的方式做事，故选way。
小题20: B
解析 此处表现作者由起初的误解他人到最后懂得领会(read)人们传达爱的方式，照应文章的开头。

“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals （凉鞋）, wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Pity, no!”
I looked at my worn-out slipcovers （椅套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer （茶碟）carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

We know that Gary suffers from a , which makes it almost impossible for him to his movements. As a result, he will his life in a wheelchair. He cannot write with a pen or a pencil, and speaks so slowly and strangely that it takes to understand what he is saying.
However, behind his appearance, Gary is a warm, fun-loving, intelligent person. His disability affects his muscles, not his mind or . He enjoys the same things as any student does—listening to music, making and so on—and he is not only the best student in our class, but also has a sense of humor and genuine interest in other people.
The main why I admire him so much is that he is determined to lead a life, in spite of his physical difficulties he has to overcome. Although his prevents him from going to school, he gives himself an education by studying at home. Being unable to himself, he uses a special typewriter to write letters to his friends and beautiful poems which the true depth of his thoughts and character. Another reason why I admire Gary is that he never feels sorry for himself. He says, for instance, that being unable to move around gives him more time to think. In fact, he always to see the bright side of any situation, so instead of needing his friends to him, he actually cheers us up when we are or depressed.
I would admire Gary he didn’t have any disability; in fact he does, and to let it spoil his life, which makes him the most remarkable person I have known.

Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.
小题1:How can we live with contentment?
| A．To change our lifestyle. |
| B．To have a motivation in life. |
| C．To give less attention to what we are grateful for. |
| D．To realize the difference between needs and desires. |
| A．Make wise decisions. | B．Know the present situation |
| C．Let go of regrets. | D．Remember the past. |
| A．enjoy | B．change | C．create | D．neglect |
| A．Make time for simple pleasures. |
| B．Learn from successful people. |
