新题型—短文语法填空
There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast(对照),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes,feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends;there are always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.
In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may“fail”at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow.Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and we think we are slow to adapt(适应)change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge.Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity(不安全)and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
1. What is an unpunctual person like?
A. He always does a thing when it should be done.
B. He is always very busy.
C. He always does a thing at the wrong time.
D. He always keeps the appointments.
2. Why is unpunctuality very harmful?
A. Because it makes a man lose many chances of doing important affairs.
B. Because it makes a man lose friends.
C. Because it makes a man work quickly.
D. Because it makes a man be more respected by others.
3. According to the passage, which is right?
A. The punctual person has no much work to do.
B. The unpunctual person is very rich. (from www.nmet168.com)
C. The unpunctual person is often respected by his friends.
D. The unpunctual person loses what can’t be regained again.
4. According to the passage, what are good manners when you are invited to a party?
A. Arriving at the appointed time. B. Arriving before all other guests.
C. Arriving after all other guests. D. Keeping all other guests waiting.
5. Why is a person always unpunctual?
A. He is too busy. B. He has too much work to do.
C. He does care much about time. D. He doesn’t manage his time properly.

I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to."It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas.She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her: But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now.I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there."His eyes were so sad."My sister has gone to be with God.Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."
My heart nearly stopped.The little boy looked up at me and continued, "I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet.I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."
I quickly reached for my wallet and said," Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll."
"OK, I hope I do have enough," he said.I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it.There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
Surprisingly, the little boy cried, "Thank you God for giving me enough money!"

I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much.But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose ! "
Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured.The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state.Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after I met the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral.Teary-eyed, I felt that my life had been changed forever.

How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are.__36
Tell them you love them every morning.A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.
Respect them more and cherish these moments.You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own.It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend.

Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them.It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean.However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot.Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 38 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them.Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 39 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 40 Seek help if you are being abused(虐待)in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.
