I started putting out food for him each day, but he wouldn’t come near me if other people were 37 . Winter came, and he still wouldn’t 38 us. Then, one day, a car hit him so we took him to the vet’s.
After a week, we were eager to bring him home to 39 our family. But when we went to take the cat home, the vet told us we should put him to 40 immediately because the cat was so fierce and mean that he would 41 become tame , let alone a pet.
But I have always had 42 in love’s power to 43 even the wildest beasts. I told the vet, “I want to take him home.” We 44 him Paws.
Three days went by, and we only knew Paws was 45 the bed because when we walked past it we heard deep growling.
I wanted to somehow let him know he was 46 and loved. So I put on a hard hat and a pair of welding gloves. I 47 under the bed toward Paws, with my face to the 48 and only the top of my head facing him. I 49 out to stroke (抚摩) him gently over and over again.
He growled and tried to 50 and bite me. It was scary—but I knew he couldn’t 51 me, so I just kept going. Slowly, he began to 52 . Then I slid out from under the bed and left the room.
Several hours later, I noticed a cat on the bed. It was Paws—all 53 on the pillows! I couldn’t believe it.
That dear cat became the 54 of our household. Although Paws finally died of cancer, his legacy(遗赠)—my 55 and firm belief in the power of love — lives on.

核心考点
试题【As soon as I saw the cat in our yard, I knew he was a stray (流浪儿). He looked 36】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
I got up, went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room. The garland(花环)was the first to come down. The tree looked naked(光秃秃的)already. I took the large ornament（装饰物）off next. They made a large pile on our bed. An hour later, our bed was covered with Christmas memories. Each pile contained an ornament along with its matching brothers and sisters from sets purchased many years ago.
I prepared the boxes and carefully placed ornaments in their protective packaging, pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite. “Hey, little Santa!” I held the Santa from my childhood. “Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years.” He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories. “Until next year, my dear friend.”
There was a collection of handmade ones. My children made in the their first years of school, more than twenty years ago. Made by tiny hands, they are far from perfect in design, but every year they go on my memory tree－memories of young giggles(咯咯地笑)on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work. “Look what we made, Daddy!”
“Oh! It is beautiful. Let’s find a special spot on the tree for it.” Every year since, they are displayed.
A few hours after I started, the filled boxes were back in the garage, the room was vacuumed(用吸尘器清扫)and I sat staring at a barren(空荡荡的)corner. The room seemed so empty. It took me two days of work to assemble(收集)and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it apart.
My tree is like a good marriage or a great friendship. Like the tree, they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be torn down quickly.
Every year I have to put my tree away, but not my marriage or friendships. I take great care of those. They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live. I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year. I can do the same with the loves in my life every day. Take great care of your friendships and your marriage. Once they come down, they aren’t as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree. Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.

University of Michigan researchers found that even if an experience is painful or negative, but ends on a good note, people will consider it to be positive.
“Endings are powerful,” said Ed O’Brien, a graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan.
O’Brien and colleague Phoebe Ellsworth, the Frank Murphy Distinguished Professor of Law and Psychology, conducted a chocolate tasting experiment with 52 college students to test the theory.
Volunteers could taste five different Hershey’s Kisses chocolates—milk, dark, cream, caramel and almond – but did not know in advance how many pieces they would eat or the type. Participants rated how much they enjoyed the chocolate and described each flavor so that the researchers could record the order in which the randomly (随机的) selected treats were eaten.
Volunteers were assigned to the “next” or the “last ” condition by chance.
In the “next” condition, the experimenter said “Here is your next chocolate” before offering each chocolate, including the fifth.
For the “last” condition, the experimenter said “Here is your last chocolate” before offering the fifth chocolate.
These participants rated the fifth chocolate more enjoyable than volunteers in the “next” condition.
As predicted, participants who knew they were eating the final chocolate of a taste test enjoyed it more.
In fact, when asked to pick their favorite chocolate, the majority of “last” participants chose the fifth – even though the flavor of the fifth was randomly chosen.
They also rated the overall experience as more enjoyable than volunteers who thought they were just eating one more chocolate in a series.
O’Brien says these findings may have far-reaching implications. For example, the last book or film in a series or the last speaker in a symposium (研讨会) may receive unwarranted praise.
The last job applicant, meanwhile, may look more qualified.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?
| A．The majority of “last” participants chose the almond flavor as their favorite. |
| B．Some participants enjoyed the experiment more because the last flavor tasted better. |
| C．The result would be different if researchers had used another brand of chocolate. |
| D．Some participants didn’t know it was their last chocolate when offered the fifth one. |
| A．Fake. | B．Unwanted. | C．Unreasonable. | D．Insincere. |
| A．“Last” is the best. |
| B．Why “last” matters most. |
| C．It is the last step that is the hardest. |
| D．He who laughs last laughs best. |

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

| A．He was silent most of the time | B．He was too proud of himself |
| C．He did not love his children | D．He expected too much of her |
| A．nervous | B．sorry | C．tired | D．safe |
| A．More critical | B．More talkative |
| C．Gentle and friendly | D．Strict and hard-working |
| A．the author’s son | B．the author’s father |
| C．the friend of the author’s father | D．the cafe owner |
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose wish is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S, Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no hope at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

| C．show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to dream of wealth and fame |
| D．encourage young people to gain a writing career |
| A．Real writers often find their works interesting and rewarding. |
| B．A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. |
| C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and loneliness. |
| D．The chances for a writer to become successful are small. |
| A．who think too much of the dark side of life |
| B．who regret giving up their careers halfway |
