The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory traveled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because of debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.
That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him.
When his prison time was up, he found a job, but couldn’t settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?
He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with:
I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me ... so it’s up to you. I’ll come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If it’s there, I’ll come in; if not, I’ll wave good-bye and go.
And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked.
His parents were taking no risks. ________________________________________
The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door.

核心考点
试题【The dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the stones. He thought b】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
An increase in homelessness is probably the worst result of a nation’s financial disaster. About 3 million Americans were homeless because of a lack of affordable housing. Experts suggest that a family should spend no more than 30 percent of its income on housing. In fact, in some families housing costs make up 50 percent or more. An unexpected event, such as losing work or illness, can quickly push a family into homelessness.
An article in Time magazine tells a story of one such family. A young couple and their three children rented a two-bedroom apartment for about $350 a month. They could hardly go on with the husband’s $920-a-month take-home pay; so when their rent was raised to $500 a month, they could no longer make ends meet.
Another woman was found dead on a street in Washington D.C., the capital, and she died at a bus-stop across the street from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
People become homeless for different reasons. Some may not be able to pay for housing, because they have lost their job and cannot find another place they can afford. Others have mental diseases, or are addicted to drugs or alcohol, many of whom do not live with their family. And what’s more, there are not enough centers for shelter as the government doesn’t pay enough attention to this social problem.
People are making efforts to solve the problem. However, it will not be easy, because it is a personal and economical problem as well as a social problem.
小题1:The passage is mainly about __________ in the US.
A.ways of solving economic problems |
B.homeless people being taken good care of |
C.different reasons for economic recession |
D.economic recession leading to social problems |
A.presenting specific figures | B.giving examples |
C.explaining in details | D.discussing different opinions |
A.an increase of living costs | B.more and more deaths |
C.an increase of homeless people | D.less centers for poor people |
A.2. | B.3. | C.4. | D.5. |
People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments(赞美)paid to them By contrast,self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves;they don"t feel they have to conform in order to be accepted.
Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents" attitudes are crucial to children"s feelings about themselves,particularly in children"s early years. When parents pro- vide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage children"s moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate.
Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others, especially parents and society. Friends" influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one"s self. Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends.

A.the sources of self-confidence |

D.the lack of self-confidence |
A.refuse | B.separate | C.permit | D.obey |
A.be practical | B.control others |
C.avoid risks | D.depend on others |
A.Self-confidence is usually the symbol of special abilities. |

C.Parents and friends matter in building one"s self-confidence. |
D.College students are the least self-confident group in society. |
A.How we can become more acceptable. |

She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”My heart jumped. “How? Does the mailman go there?” I asked.
“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.“Just wait, honey. You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six - year - old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went out-side and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.“Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three.”The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on. I prayed to be a balloon.

I was - I didn"t realize I was leaving my friends behind and throwing myself into a different world. The excitement soon after we moved there.
our arrival in London, I had to start a new school and learn a new . I didn"t know things in fashion, either. For the six months I had extra lessons to learn English. This with cards and progressed towards books. I"m a learner ,so I soon caught up. It was fitting in with other in my school that took a bit more work.
For the first two years or so I was an outsider, no matter how much I tried to . This made me and sensitive - a perfect target for bullies. Thankfully, some of my classmates began to me, and they became a great help as they helped me to the things that made me a "foreigner". By the time I primary school, most people couldn"t believe I had moved to England only four years before. I was able to fit in, grasp the language and adapt to the culture.
Trying to fit in is my to anyone who has just moved from the homeland. or is planning to. "Fitting in" doesn"t mean completely yourself to be someone else ,but it does mean trying to learn the culture and language, ,which will make your life easier.
