(A)
I
bought
a
jasmine
plant
for
my
office.
When
I
bought
it,
I
was
told
it
would
bloom(开花)
and
the
sweet
smell
would
fill
my
office.
I
had
the
plant
for
two
months,
and
every
day
I
looked
at
it,
but
there
weren t
any
flowers
or
pleasant
smell.
I
was
not
happy,
so
I
gave
the
plant
to
my
friend
Linda.
One
day,
another
friend
Mary
called
and
invited
me
to
her
office.
When
I
walked
in,
her
jasmine
flowers
surprised
me.
I
reached
out
to
touch
the
flowers.
Mary
cut
some
and
gave
them
to
me.
I
couldn t
help
smelling
them.
Surrounded
by
the
sweet
smell
of
only
a
handful
of
these
flowers,
I
suddenly
understood
something.
Mary
bought
her
plant
the
same
time
I
did.
It
took
a
year
for
her
jasmine
to
bloom.
I
was
so
impatient
for
mine
to
bloom;
regretfully,
I
gave
it
away.
In
a
way
my
life
is
like
the
jasmine
plant.
I
need
to
be
patient
and
let
things
happen.
Last
Sunday
Linda
told
me
that
she
was
going
abroad
the
next
week.
Before
she
left,
she
returned
the
plant
to
me.
This
time
I
am
going
to
wait.
I
have
learned
that
when
we
want
something
in
our
life,
we
have
to
be
patient.
I
am
slowly
learning
to
have
that
patience
to
wait
for
my
jasmine
to
bloom.

参考答案:DDA
(B)
Assertiveness
is
the
ability
to
confidently
express
your
opinions,
feelings,
attitudes,
and
rights,
in
a
way
that
doesn t
infringe(侵犯)
the
rights
of
others.
Many
of
us
are
taught
that
it
is
not
nice
to
consider
our
own
needs
above
those
of
others.
If
someone
says
or
does
something
that
we
don t
like,
we
should
just
be
quiet
and
try
to
stay
away
from
that
person
in
the
future.
Why
is
Assertiveness
important
If
you
don t
know
how
to
be
assertive,
you
might
experience:
Depression
-
Anger,
a
sense
of
being
helpless,
hopeless,
or
of
having
no
control
over
your
life.
oResentment
-
Anger
at
others
for
taking
advantage
of
you.
oFrustration
-
Why
did
I
allow
that
to
happen
Most
people
find
it
easier
to
be
assertive
in
some
situations
than
in
others.
This
makes
perfect
sense.
It s
a
lot
easier
to
hold
your
ground
with
a
stranger
than
with
someone
you
love.
But
the
more
important
the
relationship
is
to
you,
the
more
important
it
is
to
be
assertive.
Assertive
behavior
leads
to
increased
respect
from
others!
But
before
you
decide
to
act
assertively,
you
have
to
decide
if
you
can
live
with
the
results.
Although
assertive
behavior
usually
will
result
in
a
positive
response
(积极的回应),some
people
might
react
differently.
How
to
be
effectively(有效地)
assertive:
oUse
"I"
statements.
Keep
the
focus
on
the
problem
you re
having.
"I d
like
to
be
able
to
tell
my
stories
without
interruption."
instead
of
"You re
always
interrupting
my
stories
!
"
Use
facts,
not
opinions.
"Did
you
know
that
shirt
has
a
hole "
instead
of
"You re
not
going
out
looking
like
THAT,
are
you "
oExpress
ownership
of
your
thoughts,
feelings,
and
opinions.
"I
get
angry
when
he
breaks
his
promises.
"
instead
of
"He
makes
me
angry.
Make
clear
and
direct
requirements.
Don t
invite
the
person
to
say
no.
"Will
you
please "
instead
of
"Would
you
mind... "
or
"Why
don t
you... "
oKeep
repeating
your
point.
Use
a
low
level
and
pleasant
voice.
Don t
try
to
explain
yourself.

(C)
Think
back
to
a
time
in
your
life
when
you
tried
something
new.
When
I
was
a
teenager
I
volunteered
to
pass
out
water
at
a
local
race.
I
was
so
excited
to
see
all
the
different
runners
who
passed
by
and
quickly
took
a
cup
of
water.
Some
ran
past,
some
walked
past
and
a
few
wheeled
past.
I
saw
so
many
types
of
people
doing
it.
I
thought
maybe
I
could
do
it
too!
The
next
year
I
decided
to
run
for
the
race,
but
I
had
little
running
practice.
I
just
wanted
to
finish.
On
the
day
of
the
race,
it
was
terribly
hot.
After
running
for
about
5
miles.
I
was
thinking,
“I
must
be
crazy.
Why
did
I
do
this
What
was
I
thinking ”
And
at
one
moment,
I
said
to
myself,
“I
am
never
doing
this
again!”
That
first
10
km
race
was
quite
an
experience.
I
jogged(慢跑),I
walked,
I
jogged
and
walked.
At
times,
I
didn’t
know
if
I
could
finish.
Near
the
end,
a
70-year-old
man
ran
past
me,
very
fast,
and
I
felt
a
little
embarrassed(尴尬的)that
I
was
more
than
50
years
younger
than
he
and
I
couldn’t
even
keep
up
with
him.
But
then
I
realized
something.
He
was
running
his
race
and
I
was
running
mine.
How
often
in
life
do
we
compare(比较)ourselves
to
others
when
we
really
shouldn’t
I
decided
that
I
would
not
give
up
on
running
races,
and
that
one
day
I
would
be
one
of
those
70-year-old
men
who
were
still
running.
As
I
crossed
the
finishing
line,
I
was
proud
of
myself.
I
didn’t
regret(后悔)having
such
an
experience.

参考答案:CACD
(D)
When
I
was
a
girl
of
10,
I
joined
the
school
cross-country
team
and
practiced
twice
a
week,
on
the
1,8-km
course
I‘d
never
really
run
before
and
I
thought
the
course
would
be
easy.
It
was
a
real
shock
I
ran
out
of
breathe(喘气)within
the
first
few
minutes.
I
never
realized
how
tiring
running
could
be
but
I
didn’t
t
think
about
give
up.
Over
time,
I
did
get
a
little
bit
faster.
However,
I
was
really
slow.
In
races,
I
would
finish
close
to
last.
I‘d
always
have
to
stop
more
than
once,
especially
in
the
longer
races,
which
were
2.
5
to
2.
8
km.
After
every
race,
I‘d
go
home
and
cry.
But
1
still
didn‘t
stop
running,
holding
onto
that
picture
of
crossing
the
finishing
line
and
finally
doing
well.
Then
one
of
my
friends
joined
the
team,
too.
She
could
run
easily
and
even
came
in
the
18th
in
a
big
race!
I
felt
so
slow
and
my
confidence(自信)
was
lower
than
ever.
I
became
so
nervous
when
I
thought
of
the
races
that
I
wanted
to
give
up
badly.
Still.
I
refund
to.
Finally.
1
realized
that
the
reason
I
was
to
nervous
was
that
I
was
always
worried
that
I
wasn‘t
ready
for
them.
So
a
few
weeks
before
the
next
2.
8-km
race.
I
practiced
running
almost
3
km
every
day.
which
helped
me
improve
my
pace(步伐).
When
the
time
came
for
the
big
race,
all
that
practicing
really
paid
off.
I
stopped
only
once
and
my
pace
was
so
much
better.
I
realized
that
I’d
finally
gotten
happiness
with
running.
But
the
funny
thing
was.
It
didn‘t
come
from
doing
better,
Instead,
it
came
from
the
fact
that
I
hid
tried
harder
and
never
given
up.

Thousands
of
people
have
been
killed
in
a
massive(大规模的)
earthquake
in
Japan.
The
quake
--
the
most
powerful
to
hit
Japan
in
more
than
100

--
caused
massive

and
many

Several

a
8.9-magnitude
earthquake
and
resulting
10-meter-high
tsunami
devastated
the

The
United

Geological

says
it

The

In

the
