When I was making a list of guests for the party, her name didn't ___ to me.

Two years ago, my husband bought me a bike. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don't have to worry about parking. You leave it anywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front, I can take my little daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, to anywhere.
I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the rain is heavy.
You must, of course, be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem, though. One day I went shopping and came back to find my front wheel missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks.
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all day's sitting down is making him fat and lazy. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercises and fresh air, and this makes me feel a lot younger.

The statement that "Love is blind" is all too true. People in love need to depend on others to help them separate their idealization of who they think their lover is from the reality of who their counterpart(对方) really is. That is one reason why I don't advise Internet dating since it is very difficult to get realistic impressions of supposed Internet counterparts.
Sadly, students have told me that as soon as people finally reach the point of marriage, "true love dies". I disagree. It is not the end of true love, but the beginning of realistic love. I have been married for 21 years in a cross-cultural marriage. Despite the difficulties of such marriage, I love my wife now more than ever before. But that does not mean my emotions are always the same as when I first fell in love. As a matter of fact, love is more than emotion; it's both a decision and a commitment(承诺，奉献).
True love must include making a self sacrificial(自我牺牲的) commitment to always work for another person's good. I like to think that falling in love is like a match lighting a candle. It can start a love relationship. But it doesn't "hold a candle" to the true lifelong realistic commitment that makes true love last for life. Unlike a candle, true love will not grow tired and eventually bum out, but will grow ever deeper throughout a lifetime.
People in love usually can't ______ their idealization of their lover from the reality.
A．separate
B．connect
C．depend on
D．think

The Thinking Habit That Changed My Life I remember one evening three years ago, when my life was verydifferent. 1 was overweight. I was deeply in debt. I was a smoker. I felthopeless and helpless.I couldn ’t change anything.
Then I looked up at the sky and thought what a miracle life is. And Iresolved to list the good things in my life. I had a wonderful wife. 1 hadfive amazing children. I could sec and appreciate the beauty of the worldaround me. The list went on, but you get the idea. Even when thingsseemed terrible for me, actually I was OK.
That night I resolved to be grateful for what I had, and for the peoplein my life. I started the habit of gratitude. Now many people consider itunimportant. I&39;m here to tell you that it&39;s very important. It changes lives. Now I appreciate my wife Eva more. I feel good about having her inmy life. And we have deepened our relationship. I also appreciate mykids more. Instead of criticizing them, I tend to notice their loveliness,curiosity and humor. to others around me, at work and everywhere else, because insteadof seeing the faults in everyone, I see the good, and am grateful for them. I need less，because instead of thinking about what I don&39;t have, I amgrateful for what I do have. Each and every moment becomes cause forgratitude, and life becomes easier.
Without the habit of gratitude, we tend to complain and see the badin people and things. We can&39;t change that at once, but you can dosomething. For example, you can start with a small action. Really feel thehappiness that something o someone is in your life, or take a moment tomake a list of the things in your life that you&39;re thankful for.

Dear Sirs, I am writing to your office to attempt to determine why I have encouraged so ma
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to your office to attempt to determine why I have encouraged so many obstacles to receiving my proper monthly social allotment.【1】The trouble occurred ten months ago and has actually gotten worse, making extremely difficult for me to meet normal financial obligations.【2】The first problem which I had to deal was simply getting a monthly check from you, without having to wait for four or five extra weeks for it. Then two of the checks that have arrived【3】made out for the wrong amount, giving me fifty dollars fewer than I should have received.【4】Another check was mailed to me at an address, which I moved more than two years ago.【5】My letter of inquiry, which I sent to the Los Angeles Office of the Social Security administration, never brought the answer, and when I finally telephoned them I was able to talk with an arrogant clerk【6】from the tone of his voice I could tell that he didn't want to be bothered with me. The final blow is a letter received from your office yesterady in which you state that【7】my allotment is being discontinued, your records indicated that I am legally dead.
Apart from this letter of protest I have at least one other recourse:【8】filing suit against the Social Security Administration, that I would prefer not to have to do.【9】Howevers I am asking you to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that【10】from now on I receive my social security benefits with further obstacles. This letter also testifies that I'm indeed not dead, legally or otherwise.
Sincerely yours,
Thelma Spencer

Remembering My GrandparentsWhen memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty －－
Remembering My Grandparents
When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty -- a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray.He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose. The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.
Everywhere he went,“Gramp” made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.
One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said ： “Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.” Then he drove away with his horses. The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink.
“How many bags of potatoes were there？” Gramp inquired. “I don't know. ”“How many potatoes did you pick up？”“I didn't pick any. ” “Not any! Why not？”“You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didn't say I had to. ”In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget： when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to. Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own day.
She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , “See how beautif ul this is ! ”
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle. Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.
1.We know that Grandpa's nose()
A. was flattened because it had been stepped on
B. was not flat when he was a boy
C. was both straight and broad
D. was straight but its tip was a bit flat
2.We learn from the passage that Grandpa()
A. was friendly and humorous
B. liked making suggestions
C. loved to give orders
D. was a serious and strict person
3.When Grandpa told the writer to pick up potatoes if he wanted to do that, he meant that()
A. he could do it if he wanted to
B. he did not really have to do so
C. he could do it anytime he was ready
D. he had to do it
4.The writer describes his Grandma as()
A. a woman who complained about the injustices of life
B. a very obedient housewife
C. someone who could find beauty in life
D. a woman who loved Millet's paintings
5.According to the passage, in the days of the writer's grandparents()
A. most people understood how to appreciate the beautiful things
B. in life it was difficult for people to keep the "soft qualities" of mind and character
C. only ordinary people managed to appreciate the beauty of nature
D. it was the "soft virtues" that were thought to be very important

I like clothescotton（棉）（）

1+Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours at a typewriter. “You have got to want to write,” I said to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for many years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who died wondering. What if？ I would keep putting my dream to test (even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
21、The passage is meant to _______ .
A.warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experience
B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth
D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career
24、In “…people who died wondering”, “who” refers to those _______ .
A.who think too much of the dark side of life
B.who regret giving up their career halfway
C.who think a lot without making a decision
D.who are full of imagination even upon death
25、“Shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to _______ .
A.the wonderland one often dreams about
B.the bright future that one is looking forward to
C.the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
D.a world that exists only in one’s imagination
