It was a busy morning about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9:30. The nurse had him take a in the waiting area, him it would be at least 40 minutes someone would be able to see him. I saw him his watch and decided, since I was busy ---my patient didn’t at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment. The gentleman said no and told me that he to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his . He told me she had been for a while and she had a special disease. I asked if she would be if he was a bit late. He replied that she knew who he was, and that she had not been able to him for five years. I was , and asked him, “And you go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?” He smiled and said, “She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is.” I had to hold back as he left.
Now I that in marriages, true love is of all that is. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything; They just the best use of everything they have. isn’t about how to live through the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

试题分析：本文通过一个故事告诉我们：生活并不是要经历暴风雨，而是要学会苦中作乐。
小题1:C seat 关键名词就在后面waiting room。这个词break有可能选，但是break之前一定要很紧张才行，这里老汉没有紧张。
小题2:D telling 护士对一个老汉能做的动作，最符合逻辑的是telling，告诉。 promising 表示许诺，有可能选，再看宾语就可以排除，at least 40 minutes 没有一个承诺是这样子的，我保证你至少要等四十分钟，不是承诺这是诅咒。
小题3:B before 在医生诊断他之前要等待。
小题4:C look at 看动作的发出者，一个焦急的老汉会做的动作，肯定是look at 看手表这个选项。
小题5:D not 根据上下文可知本句是指我不忙。
小题6:A turn up 词组，表示“出现”的意思。这里要注意破折号表示解释说明，我不是很忙，因为我的病人在appointed hour 里面没有出现。appoint 这个词除了任命的意思，还有约时间的意思。B. show off 是“炫耀”的意思。
小题7:A needed 考察动词搭配，用排除法。B forget是“忘记”，他忘记了回去吃饭这样的事情，不算一个appointment。C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”，在文中没人提要求，所以不存在同意不同意。D happen to do“碰巧做某事”。
小题8:B wife 名词找重复，这里重复再后面，刚做的时候放一放，第五段的第一句出现了marriage,表示他们俩曾经有一段，那么选老婆这个选项。
小题9:D there she had been there 表示的是她已经在那个nursing home 里面有一段时间了，有难度，其他几个选项的中文意思比较模棱两可， A. late 要迟到的是老头子，不是他老婆。 B. well 她老婆身体很健康。 C.老婆曾经在他身边。
小题10:B worried ：根据词义辨析。lonely“孤独的”，worried 是“焦虑的，担心的”的意思，doubtful“怀疑的”，hungry“饥饿的”。
小题11: C no longer结合后文，49空那句话给出了很好的对应。neither 表示否定2者。
小题12: A recognize 之前见过，现在认不出来。
小题13:C surprised 表示惊讶。选项moved干扰度比较大，需要对全文的态度进行把握，文中进行到这里并没有很明显的作者的正面态度出现，证据就在于他的那个问句：你知道她不认识你，还是每天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。
小题14:D still表示状态的持续，B. then 表示时间先后，C. thus 表示因果。
小题15:B tear关键在前面的动词hold back忍住，忍回去。忍回去的只有泪水。
小题16:A realize realize表示主观意识到。
小题17: C acceptance 真爱就是对于所有一切的接受。本题点明了文章的主旨，老人不管妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃，所以是接受了一切，无论好坏。
小题18:A necessarily 这个词的意思是必要地，这句话的意思是最幸福的人并不一定是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。
小题19:B make 考查动词和名词的搭配， make the best of充分利用，就是说他们可以没有最好的东西，但是他们充分利用了他们所拥有的东西。C选项favor 不能选，因为表示的意思是偏好，在这里没有比较爱人认得你还是不认得你，所以不选。
小题20: D Life 生活并不是要经历暴风雨，而是要学会苦中作乐。 |

These comments may come from stories about us that have been for years—often from childhood. These stories may have no in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作机械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life. ” How did these expectations my development? I was never to work on cars or be around . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. For my strong points, I down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking. ” For the , I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills. ”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life and told him about my performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ is it that you can solve mathematical problems, but you can’t solve easy mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have genetic defects that we can never get over, we can do well in almost we choose.

When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two . We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing the challenge isn"t worth the and call it quits. Although there are certainly when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most all that is needed is and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. you can say to a friend, "I got my feeling hurt," "You hurt my feelings," you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for they are: small hurdles you need to jump or on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is to get over, and hurt only to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it to everyone, and some day you will all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."

The young boy and his father sat quietly watching the snow fall on a snowy Saturday afternoon.
“Dad, my friend told me that every snowflake is . But they look all the same to me. How can we tell?” the child asked.
Dad felt it was his to give a more satisfying answer. “Son, snowflakes are like people. We are each in a very special way. We can test it right now,” he said.
The child stood up, put out his hands, and as snowflakes landed on his gloves. “These snowflakes are all different on my gloves, but those in the yard look the same. Together they are even more_ and striking. Then if people are like snowflakes, why don"t they well?”
“Choice,”Dad said. "Their choices them what they are.”
“ choice is a bad thing?” the boy asked.
“Oh, no. Only when we choose the things.”
“How do we tell right from wrong?" the child asked.
Dad was given the chance to build upon the foundation of his son"s . He reached down and began to with the snow. He the snow into two sides, three large snowballs on one side and several smaller ones on the other.
“Which side did the right thing?” he asked the boy.
The child looked at both sides but answer. Then Dad placed the three larger snowballs on top of each other.
“It’ s a snowman! The side made me snowman!” the boy replied with
Yes, all these people came together and recognized how special each of them was, so they joined in a(n) to build up mankind,” Dad said.
The child then stood up and an arm full of the smaller snowballs. One by one he began to throw them at the other small piles of snow. He said,”This is what happens when people can"t work together. They have a(n) .”
Dad was shocked. He stood up, lifted the boy and him tightly, whispering to him, “I hope that your world will learn to work and live together. I hope you will make the right

A young executive was traveling down a neighborhood street．He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something．As his car passed，no children appeared．Instead，a brick smashed into his door! He slammed on the brakes(make his car stop)．The angry driver then jumped out of the car, caught the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car，shouting，“What was that all about and who are you?”
The young boy was apologetic．“Please，Mister．．．Please，I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do．I threw the brick because no one else would stop…”
With tears dripping down his face，the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car．“It’s my brother，”he said．“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up．”
Now sobbing(crying silently)，the boy asked the executive，“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me．’’
Moved beyond words，the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat．He hurriedly lifted the boy back into the wheelchair，then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed(a light touch) at the fresh scrapes and cuts．A quick look told him everything was going to be okay．“Thank you and may God bless you．”the grateful child told the stranger．Shaken up for words，the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair—bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home．
God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts．Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen，he has to throw a brick at us．Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!
