A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?” “Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said. His mum just hugged him and said, “You 36 will.”
Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does my mother seem to cry for no reason?” “All women cry for no reason,” 37 so much could his dad say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still 38 why women cry. 39 he gave a call to God, and when God got on the phone, he asked, “God, why do women cry so 40 ?”
God said, “When I made the woman she had to be 41 . I made her shoulders 42 enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give 43 .”
“I made her 44 childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else 45 , and to take care of her family in spite of sickness and fatigue (劳累) without 46 . I gave her the sensitivity to 47 her children under any and all circumstances, 48 her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her wisdom to carry her husband through his 49 . I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never 50 his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him 51 . And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. She can use it whenever it is needed.”
“You see, the beauty of a woman is not in the 52 she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she 53 her hair. The 54 of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart and the place where love 55 .”

Dear Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul,
Most people don’t really know what pressures a typical teenager has to go through. Sure, our parents and grandparents were once teens, but things are so different now. It has never been to tougher (严格)to a teenager.
It had never been more important to be in the “right group” or to have the “right brand” of shoes. And those are the easy things to deal with. We also face problems with family, friends, relationships and school pressures.
When it gets to be too much, I turn to my friends. One friend I could not live without is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Your books have been so inspiring to me and have helped me to deal with and understand the problems I go through.
For example, I went through a confusing time with my friends when we got to junior high. I had known these friends since kindergarten, and when we began junior high it seemed like some of them began to change. We started hanging out with different groups, and we slowly grew so far apart that it seemed as if we had never been friends. I felt confused and hurt.
Sometime during this period I read the story Friends Forever in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Ⅱ.I felt so much better after reading it. It was like a weight had been lifted from me when I realized that many friendships went through changes and that we weren’t the only friends to experience them.
People change, but that doesn’t mean we have to lose the friendships we once shared. My friends and I still spend time together when we can and care about each other a lot. That things are different doesn’t mean I have to forget about all the good times we had. I will always keep the memories in a safe place in my heart.
Sincerely,
Peter

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here"s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

小题3:What"s the author"s attitude toward work?| A．Do it well to serve others. | | B．To earn enough money to make life better. | | C．Try your best to get higher position and pay. | | D．Don"t let it affect your real life. |

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I"ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago，we"ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other selfdestructive（自我毁灭的） behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn"t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn"t believe me. Her selfrespect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn"t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang out with a group of losers, especially her boyfriend.
By the time she left，I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating，I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn"t. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We"d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
小题1:In the writer"s opinion，her friend ________.| A．was a girl with no selfrespect | | B．could find a better boyfriend | | C．was brave enough to stick to her own choice | | D．didn"t value the writer"s suggestion |
小题2:What did the writer worry about?| A．She would lose the friendship with her. | | B．Her friend"s parents would be worried about their daughter. | | C．Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy. | | D．Her friend"s boyfriend would be in great trouble. |
小题3:We may learn from Paragraph 3 that the writer________.| A．didn"t want to go anywhere else | | B．understood her friend"s hanging with her boyfriend | | C．couldn"t believe that her friend"s choice was acceptable | | D．doubted that she could in any way help her friend |
小题4:What can be concluded from the passage?| A．Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable. | | B．Friendship is a cure for any injury in life. | | C．Friendship should be everlasting once begun. | | D．Friendship can have magical power in life. |

From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch, I 1 a note. Often written on a napkin (餐巾), it might be a thank-you for a 2 moment, a reminder of something we were happily expecting, or a bit of 3 for the coming test or sporting event.

One day while sitting in the boat fishing, I noticed a field mouse on the river bank. He ran out of his 21 , ran around a bit and then ran back. I thought of the 22 of this mouse. His life is spent running around, 23 , following his nose. He runs here, runs there, turns in circles, but never really sees much beyond his 24 . He is trying to 25 his way to successful living, which is finding a little 26 , so that he can carry on for the rest of his life, frightened.
A few minutes later I looked up and noticed an osprey (鱼鹰) 27 high in the sky. This keen-eyed hunter with a 28 view of the river was simply waiting for the best time to catch his food. The 29 creature flew up toward a nest at the top of one of the tallest trees.
It is the osprey not the field mouse that 30 our human potential (潜能). I don’t know about you, but it is 31 for me to decide which creature I want to learn from. I want to 32, to see the big picture, to climb higher, go farther, dive deeper, and 33 more. I want my soul enlarged and my heart inspired. I want to 34 running about following my nose and instead I want to find new strength, fresh 35 , clear vision and courage. I want to be more like the osprey and less like the field mouse, for to live like the field mouse is to ruin my potential.
