The trip to that city was eye-opening for everyone, and near its end, all the young people in our group began to reflect on what it had meant． We 41 the first night we had arrived． We had all gone into the markets of the city 42 the young people could experience its energy． But what we actually saw simply 43 us all --- the rundown houses, the children in rags, the people begging for money… Walking home, 44 under a low bridge, we came across 45 families of homeless people seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on 46 the night． We had to step over bodies as we found our way through the darkness．
The poverty was 47 than anything my young companions had ever imagined． Back in the hotel, an air of sadness settled over the group． Many 48 and cried． Spending time in this 49 moves a person to care about humanity．
That evening, our group spent hours talking about what we had 50 ． Gently, I encouraged everyone to talk about the difficult 51 that day’s discoveries had inspired． Sitting together 52 a circle as everyone had a chance to speak, we all began to realize that 53 of us was alone in our struggle to cope with our reactions．
Based on my 54 in poverty-stricken areas, I suggested that 55 the emotions we had were painful, they could also be important in helping us to move forward． We all 56 that we had seen things that should never be allowed to happen． 57 , what could we do about it? Together, we began to brainstorm ways we could help to ease the 58 we had seen． As I encouraged group members to focus on 59 they could do, a sense of determination 60 the previous sadness． Instead of despair, these young people began to feel a call to action．

When the boy started 24 his agreement, the father exclaimed, "Oh．Andrew, don"t do it now; I"m too 25 !" The youngster immediately 26 silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes．27 the father said, "You can finish later．"
The boy said nothing but quietly 28 ,disappointment written 29 his face．That evening the father said, "Come and finish the 30 kisses now．Andrew!" But the boy didn"t respond．
Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an 31 and was drowned．His 32 father wrote．"If only I 33 tell him how much I regret my thoughtless 34 ,and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is 35 ．"
Love is a two-way street．Any loving act must be warmly accepted 36 it will be taken as rejection and can 37 a scar．If we are too busy to give and 38 love, we are too busy!

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr. Robert Albert， author of Stand Up， Speak Out， and Talk Back，thinks it’s because their self-respect is low. “There s always a ‘superior’ (长辈) around ˉa parent， a teacher， a boss—— who knows better.” But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer “assertiveness(维护) training” courses——A.T. for short. In the A. T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive (进攻的) without hurting other people. In one way， learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. Course will help the timid (懦弱的) person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive (动机)——the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more “important” than you， you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do you can learn to speak out.

When you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world. Each element of your world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others. You cannot affect the success of others; you can affect your own success.
Success is very much achievable to everybody. Believe that and you have taken the first step. If you do not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task. However, believing in your ability to achieve whatever you want to succeed in is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout your journey to success.
There are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your immediate control. Once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming successful in a range of activities.
What is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate your own achievements. Appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination to succeed.
Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable tar gets can all play an important role.
All these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed. But it is up to you to get things started. Those who do not start travel nowhere. For others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment.

Why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage?| A．It will allow you to recover from past failures. | | B．It will remind you of the vision of your future. | | C．It will motivate you to continue pursuing success. | | D．It will help you develop your characteristics in everything. |
小题3:58. The underlined word“setbacks”（in paragraph 5）probably means ________.| A．failures | B．troubles | C．hesitation | D．depression |
小题4:59. What can we learn from the last paragraph?| A．If you are stuck where you are, you cannot travel far. | | B．If you don’t start trying, you’ll never embrace success. | | C．If you are brave enough, you can get whatever you want. | | D．If you don’t study, you can never reach the destination. |

If a person forgets names, places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat . In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

I was shopping at my local supermarket, as I normally have for years. One particular day, I had done about 2 weeks worth of shopping and 36 toward the register to pay for my groceries. After the cashier had scanned my items and I had bagged them up, she stated that the 37 was $150.
I 38 into my back right pocket to grab the money to pay and noticed that there was no money there. I started to get 39 . I knew my pocket book was in the car and I was sure I had put the 40 in my back right pocket. I looked at the cashier with wet eyes and a 41 look not knowing what to do. There were people behind me on the line. She told me to speak with the courtesy counter (爱心柜台). I 42 and said, “Really? It"s 43 , no one would hand that in!” But she 44 me to. “You never know…” she said.
I decided that there was no 45 in checking so I walked up to a woman behind the counter and said “I have to ask, did anyone 46 cash by any chance?” She asked “How much?" My face then 47 . “$200 in the form of one hundred dollar bills.” I replied. She said, “ 48 , yes, someone did!" I was so 49 ! “Who? I want to thank her.” She pointed to a young girl about 10 years old and says, “She did.”
I walked over to the mom and hugged her. She said, “It wasn"t me, it was my 50 ” . I said “I know, I wanted to thank you both, 51 she found it ... it"s because of you that I got this back.” I was so happy, I was almost in tears.
The next day at work, a person in another department 52 me tickets to the circus. He handed me 5 tickets. Almost 53 that young girls face popped (突然出现) in my head. After work I went back to the supermarket and stopped at the courtesy counter and asked if she had any idea who that woman was. She smiled and said, “Yes, She is a friend of mine”. Then I asked her to do me a favor and pass along these 5 tickets to her.
She told me that the family of the little girl who found my money were not rich so they would really 54 this. She also said that they had 3 children, so five was the 55 number of tickets!
