Smart persons not only learn from their own mistakes—they pay  2 to the mistakes of others, equate error with opportunity, and learn valuable  3 as well, as this story illustrates (说明).
A lion, a fox, and a wild pig went   4  for rabbits together. By the end of the day, they had a large pile of rabbits to   5 .
The lion said to the wild pig, “Pig, you divide the rabbits up among the three of us in a   6  that you think is fair.” The pig divided the rabbits up into three   7   piles, and said to the lion, “There we are. One   8 for each of us. How’s that?” The lion   9  sprang at the wild pig and 10 him.  
Then, the lion threw all the rabbits into one big pile again.
He  11 to the fox. “Well now, Mr. Fox, why don’t you  12 the rabbits between the two of us in a way that you think is fair?”
The fox walked over to the pile of rabbits, took the  13 one for himself, and left the rest in a big pile. “This rabbit is for me, Mr. Lion, and that big pile is for you.” said the fox.
At that point, the lion laughed, “Where did you learn to divide so  14 , Mr. Fox?” And Mr. Fox replied, “The wild pig  15 me.”

举一反三
A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store’s cloth counter, a(n)  1   young woman said, “I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one   2   per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be taken back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With   3  written all over his face, the clerk   4   measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly,  5  forward to receive his “  6  ”.
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and pointed to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she   7  .
He was no doubt disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are  8         when others do not   9  their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be dropped. These three particular   10   and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:

2. Expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and       12  your joy with others.
3. Expect not to be  13   . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need.  14   them and move on.
Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more   15        right away!

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分开) with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” That is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase(短语) that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice?  The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
小题1:When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he          .
A.feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to him
B.feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelings
C.thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
D.is sorry that his friends let him down
小题2:When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!”, he is saying that          .
A.the speaker is just friendly
B.this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”
C.the word “dog” should not be used to apply to(运用到) people.
D.sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious.
小题3:This passage tries to tell you how to          .
A.avoid mistakes about money and friends
B.get an idea of friendly people
C.avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D.keep people friendly without trusting them
小题4:The writer suggests that           should be trusted.
A.everybody B.nobody C.all the people D.not all the people

“To be or not to be.” Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly, or to live dully and meanly. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: “I think, therefore I am.”
  But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(强烈) of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned --- poetry and prose(散文), music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---you are dead.
On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest --- even more, a new accomplishment(成就) --- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
  Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(有限的, 受约束的) life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China. If you’re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
To be or not to be --- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, which depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live!
小题1:What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?
A.Argue against an idea.
B.Explain some famous sayings.
C.Introduce some famous sayings.
D.Put forward an idea.
小题2:What does the underlined word most probably mean?
A.Somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination.
B.Somebody who is always interested in making new friends.
C.Somebody who always expects the worst to happen.
D.Somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life.
小题3:Which of the following behavior is probably NOT encouraged by the author?
A.Thinking more than your own business.
B.Caring only about your physical welfare.
C.Reading good novels.
D.Listening to fine music.
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.To be is to be in relations.
B.I think, therefore I am.
C.To be or not to be, that is a question.
D.A man dies as often as he loses a friend.
