“What is the meaning of life ” It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years. The best answer I ever came across was “The meaning of life is to give life meaning.”
When I was a young boy, I gave my life meaning by simply playing, running, swimming, laughing, and riding my bike.
When I went to school, I gave my life meaning by learning, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to make my mom and dad proud.
In college, I found meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career (职业) I wanted to prepare.
When I was working as a teacher, I found meaning by helping open young minds to new ideas and old wisdom(智慧).
When I got married, I found meaning in protecting, providing for, and watching over my wife. And when I found out that both of my sons were born with mental illnesses (精神疾病), I found meaning in loving them, caring for them, and learning from them about love, patience (耐心), faith (信念), and joy.
As I got older, I began to realize that meaning isn’t something that comes and goes. We are responsible for creating our own meaning. All we have to do is love ourselves and others. It is love that gives life meaning. It is love that makes life worth living.

59．细节理解题。根据“When I got married, I found meaning in protecting, providing for,”可知是当作者结婚时，他才发现了保护、供养和照顾妻子的意义，不是在上大学时，故选C。

Adolescence (青春期) is the time between being a child and full adult (成年人). Adolescence is a difficult process (过程) for teenagers. The reason is that both their minds and bodies make great changes. The changes may cause many problems if teenagers don’t know what to do with them. So it’s necessary to learn something about the changes.
Different people begin adolescence at different ages. Usually girls start adolescence two years earlier than boys. For both girls and boys, adolescence is usually over by the age of 18.
Teenage boys at this time often begin to take unnecessary risks. They want others to accept them. They are also easily angry with others and fight more. So they need to think twice before they act and make good decisions for themselves.
A girl’s personality often does not develop in the same way as a boy’s. Teenage girls sometimes lose confidence (信心) in themselves. They aren’t sure about their own feelings, but they are usually afraid to tell others about their problems.
We can do a lot to care for and help teenagers. At the same time, parents can also tell teenagers about what is happening to them and help them to know themselves better. Everyone plays a part in making sure that young people grow into healthy adults.
( )61．Why is adolescence a difficult process for teenagers according to the passage
A．Teenagers find it is hard for them to lose confidence.
B．Teenagers have difficulty accepting others’ advice.
C．Teenagers’ parents always ask them to be excellent.
D．Both teenagers’ minds and bodies change.
( )62．According to the third paragraph, boys ________ during adolescence.
A．get angry easily B．never take risks
C．lose confidence in themselves D．understand others better
( )63．What does the underlined word “personality” mean in Chinese
A．力气 B．财富 C．性格 D．挑战
( )64．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The writer’s worry about teenagers’ exam results.

Della sold her hair for 20 dollars. With that money, she bought a fob chain.
In the evening, Jim came home from work. When he saw Della, his eyes were fixed on her.“Merry Christmas, darling!” Della said. “Don’t look at me that way.”
“You’ve cut off your hair ” asked Jim.
“Yes. I sold it to buy you a gift,” said Della. “Don’t you like me just as well, anyhow ”
“You say your hair is gone ” said Jim.
“Yes, dear Jim. It’s gone,” said Della. “Maybe the hairs of my head could be counted, but nobody could ever count my love for you.”
“Nothing can make me like you any less,” said Jim. Then he gave a package to Della. There lay a set of beautiful combs. They were great for long hair. Della smiled and said in tears “My hair grows fast, Jim!”
Then Della gave Jim her beautiful present. “Isn’t it great, Jim Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.”

“What is the meaning of life ” It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years. The best answer I ever came across was “The meaning of life is to give life meaning.”
When I was a young boy, I gave my life meaning by simply playing, running, swimming, laughing, and riding my bike.
When I went to school, I gave my life meaning by learning, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to make my mom and dad proud.
In college, I found meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career (职业) I wanted to prepare.
When I was working as a teacher, I found meaning by helping open young minds to new ideas and old wisdom(智慧).
When I got married, I found meaning in protecting, providing for, and watching over my wife. And when I found out that both of my sons were born with mental illnesses (精神疾病), I found meaning in loving them, caring for them, and learning from them about love, patience (耐心), faith (信念), and joy.
As I got older, I began to realize that meaning isn’t something that comes and goes. We are responsible for creating our own meaning. All we have to do is love ourselves and others. It is love that gives life meaning. It is love that makes life worth living.

Adolescence (青春期) is the time between being a child and full adult (成年人). Adolescence is a difficult process (过程) for teenagers. The reason is that both their minds and bodies make great changes. The changes may cause many problems if teenagers don’t know what to do with them. So it’s necessary to learn something about the changes.
Different people begin adolescence at different ages. Usually girls start adolescence two years earlier than boys. For both girls and boys, adolescence is usually over by the age of 18.
Teenage boys at this time often begin to take unnecessary risks. They want others to accept them. They are also easily angry with others and fight more. So they need to think twice before they act and make good decisions for themselves.
A girl’s personality often does not develop in the same way as a boy’s. Teenage girls sometimes lose confidence (信心) in themselves. They aren’t sure about their own feelings, but they are usually afraid to tell others about their problems.
We can do a lot to care for and help teenagers. At the same time, parents can also tell teenagers about what is happening to them and help them to know themselves better. Everyone plays a part in making sure that young people grow into healthy adults.
( )61．Why is adolescence a difficult process for teenagers according to the passage
A．Teenagers find it is hard for them to lose confidence.
B．Teenagers have difficulty accepting others’ advice.
C．Teenagers’ parents always ask them to be excellent.
D．Both teenagers’ minds and bodies change.
( )62．According to the third paragraph, boys ________ during adolescence.
A．get angry easily B．never take risks
C．lose confidence in themselves D．understand others better
( )63．What does the underlined word “personality” mean in Chinese

A．The writer’s worry about teenagers’ exam results.
B．The writer’s advice about how to care for and help teenagers.
C．The writer’s idea about why adolescence is important to teenagers.
D．The writer’s prediction about adolescence and the future.
( )65．What does the passage mainly talk about

Della and Jim were a couple. They were poor but they loved each other very much. Christmas was coming. Della wanted to buy a gift for Jim but she had only 1.87 dollars.
“What should I do ” Della asked herself.
There were two valuable (珍贵的) things to Della and Jim. One was Jim’s gold watch. It had been his father’s and his grandfather’s. The other was Della’s beautiful long hair.
Della sold her hair for 20 dollars. With that money, she bought a fob chain.
In the evening, Jim came home from work. When he saw Della, his eyes were fixed on her.“Merry Christmas, darling!” Della said. “Don’t look at me that way.”
“You’ve cut off your hair ” asked Jim.
“Yes. I sold it to buy you a gift,” said Della. “Don’t you like me just as well, anyhow ”
“You say your hair is gone ” said Jim.
“Yes, dear Jim. It’s gone,” said Della. “Maybe the hairs of my head could be counted, but nobody could ever count my love for you.”
“Nothing can make me like you any less,” said Jim. Then he gave a package to Della. There lay a set of beautiful combs. They were great for long hair. Della smiled and said in tears “My hair grows fast, Jim!”
Then Della gave Jim her beautiful present. “Isn’t it great, Jim Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.”
“Della,” said Jim, “let’s put our Christmas presents away and keep them a while. They’re too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs.”
