Yesterday was Monday. My friend Li Hua went to school without his homework finishing. He played online games all over the weekend. It was too late when he founded he had homework to do. To avoid punished, he told his teacher that a dog eats his homework. Obviously, it was just an excuse he made to cover the fact which he hadn’t done his homework. The teacher certainly knew about that and made them stay after school. Sometimes we think we can avoid trouble by making excuse when we do something wrongly. However, we are really making problems worse instead of.

I was also worried about Kaydence and Cameron, feeling guilty for _______ them of quality time because so much of our time was invested in taking care of their sister. Fortunately with remarkable doctors and teachers, Piper started _______.

What happened next was nothing short of _______. I deliberately took a step back and became the “passenger” again.

4 . Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural （乡下的）Virginia. My father _______ me to her with these words: "I would like you to meet the fellow who is _______ for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no _______ than tomorrow morning. "

My stepmother walked over to me, _______ my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, "You are _______ .This is not the worst boy at all, _______ the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm."

That statement began a（n） _______ between us. No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my _______ as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

5 . I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed.It was time.The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights.I’d procrastinated long enough.

I got up, went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room.The garland (花环) was the first to come down.The tree looked naked (光秃秃的) already.I took the large ornaments off next.They made a large pile on our bed.An hour later, our bed was covered with Christmas memories.Each pile contained an ornament along with its matching brothers and sisters from sets purchased many years ago.

I prepared the boxes and carefully placed ornaments in their protective packaging, pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite.“Hey, little Santa!” I held the Santa from my childhood.“Thanks for being my friend for almost 50 years.” He was a little ragged (衣着破烂的) but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories.“Until next year, my dear friend.”

There was a collection of handmade ones.My children made in their first years of school, more than 20 years ago.Made by tiny hands, they are far from perfect in design, but every year they go on my memory tree – memories of young giggles on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work.“Look what we made, Daddy!”

“Oh! It is beautiful.Let’s find a special spot on the tree for it.” Every year since, they are displayed.

A few hours after I started, the filled boxes were back in the garage, the room was vacuumed (用吸尘器清扫) and I sat staring at a barren (空荡荡的) corner.The room seemed so empty.It took me two days of work to assemble (收集) and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it apart.

My tree is a good marriage or a great friendship.Like the tree, they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be torn down quickly.

Every year I have to put my tree away, but not my marriage or friendships.I take great care of those.They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live.I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year.I can do the same with the loves in my life every day.Take great care of your friendships and your marriage.Once they come down, they aren’t as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree.Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.

1. In the author’s eyes, the Christmas tree _____.

A．is a collection of childhood memories	B．is a symbol of long-lasting relations
C．takes too much time to decorate	D．is full of out-of-date ornaments

2. The underlined word “procrastinated” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.

3. To the author, a Christmas tree is similar to a good marriage in that ______.

A．both take time to build but fall apart easily

B．both remind him of bittersweet memories

C．both need to be admired for some time

D．both get less attractive over the years

4. What is the main theme of the article?

B．Friendships and marriages should be valued and managed carefully.

C．Memories with friends and family should be cherished and relived.

D．We should decorate Christmas trees with personal stuff and recycle.

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Ariana caught another whiff(难闻的味道)and tried to hold her breath. She moved away slightly, but Ashley only moved closer and continued talking. Ariana felt trapped. She wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn’t smell very good. But how could she do that without hurting Ashley’s feelings? Instead, she gathered the remains of her lunch to throw into the trash, thankful for the excuse to get some fresh air. She looked back to see Ashley eating quietly. Ashley’s hair was tangled(乱糟糟的), and her clothes were dirty. Ariana forced herself to go back to the table and take her seat, vowing(发誓)that she would not sit with Ashley the next day.

When Ariana got home from school, she complained to her mom, “There’s a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school, but she smells bad.”

“She’s probably having a tough day,” said her mother.

“No, it’s not just one day. She smells bad a lot,” Ariana explained. “Nobody else likes to sit next to her, either.”

“I don’t think you understand Ashley’s situation, so let me ask you this...” Her mother’s tone was serious. “Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you’ll look nice when you go to school?”

“You do,” answered Ariana.

“Who makes sure you’re bathed and cleaned every day? And your clothes are washed and neatly ironed?”

“You and Daddy,” Ariana said again.

“Do you live in a nice home? Do you have enough to eat?”

Ariana nodded, beginning to feel guilty. She was starting to understand now. Ashley couldn’t help her situation because she was only seven years old—the same age as Ariana. Grown-ups are supposed to take care of kids.

“Why doesn’t her family take better care of her?” Ariana asked.

“Not all children live in the best situation,” her mother said. “The best thing you can do for Ashley is to treat her with kindness and sympathy.”

7 . Are you aware that every single person on this planet who has ever lived, lives now or will live, has a different perception of reality? The way each of us perceives the world is to some degree different than any other person's perception of reality. __①__ What is absolutely real and right for you may be an illusion, or nonexistent, or completely false for another!

It's important to know this. __②__ For example, the news media loves to create drama, and one of their favorite methods is to elicit(引起) fear: fear of other people, fear of the weather, fear of the economy, etc. The news media tells us how to perceive the world—and if a person takes the newscasters at their word, they perceive the world to be very dangerous and hostile. To that person，the mental images and emotions suggested by other people create a version of reality that is completely different from the reality perceived by someone who does not watch the news.

Things are not always what they seem. For most people, seeing is believing, which is why magicians, artists and marketers are so successful. Just like the TV news, they show you only what they want you to see and it is perceived as reality. But how would that reality change if you saw what went on behind the scenes or what was left out?

What's your story?

We all have a story. Over time, your story takes on a life of its own and you become your story. But who's the author and why did him put so much crap in there? All that unnecessary suffering, struggle, heartache, worry and pain... wouldn't it be better to live a story without all that? Who wants to live in a story with that much boredom and unfulfilled longings?

The story got its start when you were born, and was co­authored by you along with the influences in your life. __③__ Anytime you were influenced by someone or something, you unconsciously handed your pen over and said “Here, you write this about me.” So you are not even writing your OWN story! No one does—until they recognize that fact, and make a conscious decision to take control of the pen. You CAN write your story the way you want it to play out.

________________

It is helpful to understand how the brain takes reality and filters it to create your unique perception of reality. It's an automatic unconscious action that is based on：

● Physical experiences (which is why some optical illusions are extremely unsettling)

● Past conditioning (how you are programmed to see the world)

__④__ When you become aware of the fact that you are constructing your own reality, you can take charge and build one that is more pleasing. If you change your mind, your vibration and your intentions, you can change your circumstances! Instead of, “I am a victim of circumstance，” imprint in your mind, “I am the co­creator of my life”； Instead of, “I am sick and tired of...” imprint in your mind，“I am in control and enthusiastic about what I do”.

Raise your vibration by thinking, talking and acting more positively. As positiveness becomes a mental habit，that change will become your new inner reality, which will soon manifest in your outer reality.

The power of perception is immense. Choose to see more good than bad, more abundance than lack, more love than indifference and more success than struggle.

8 . I was walking my dog Snoopy one evening while the last light of the setting sun _________ the clouds purple and pink. I looked up at the sky and smiled. After a minute Snoopy started _________ at her leash. She was more than ready to head inside for a bowl of dog food and a bacon   _________. I wasn’t quite ready to go in, however, so I _______ her. I was waiting for my friends the Little Blinkers to appear.

It wasn’t long either _______ I saw them switching their lights on and off. They were fireflies, of course, also known as lightning bugs. Over all the years that I have lived here they have never failed to appear at this time during the summer. They have never failed to _______me. They have never failed to make the world a little brighter. It has always been such a _______ too knowing that such wonderful creatures can shine their own light and make the _______ meadows look like the starry skies above. They make me want to share my own light as well, even if it isn’t that bright and even if it does _______ to blink now and then.

Robert Fulghum wrote, “I know some people who ________a lot of light. Because they have absorbed a lot of light themselves. They shine.” I don’t know how much light I have ________the years, but I do know that I won’t keep it ________ under a basket. I will shine it. I will share it. I will use it to ________as much goodness, love, joy, and wisdom into this world as I possibly can.

May you always ________ your light as brightly as you can. May you always share it with others as well. Remember that you are not asked to ________the whole world up. What you need to do is just to make your little corner of it a bit brighter.

9 . One day, I was eating an apple when suddenly, I felt an apple seed in my mouth. I wanted to throw it away. But_________, I looked at the apple seed -really looked. It was dark brown, almost black. Its shape_________me of a candle flame. A little dark brown candle flame...

It is a（n）_________of nature that only a few of these seeds grow. Most_________do or are destroyed early on in their growth.

10 . It’s not easy feeling like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make. Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again. You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things right if you find mistakes. You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you. You seek to be socially perfect.

Academically, you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks. Although most would say “it’s good to have high standards,” they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection. If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed, but you’re far from failing, you just don’t see it that way. So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid, and not smart. The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the “not good enough” label each and every day.

You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others. If people don’t perform up to your expectations, then you think they are incompetent. This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to get things right. So instead of being a team player, you fly solo (单飞) and try to do two or three jobs at once. Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.

The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it’s the unachievable American dream that’s damaging our emotional and mental health. We strive (奋斗) for perfection with our body, in our performance, and in our relationships. In a society that overstates mistakes, is it any wonder, in that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect?

We all have flaws (弱点), fears, and make mistakes, and that’s perfectly OK. It’s our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don’t have to strive to achieve the impossible. We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.

1. Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?

A．Nobody is perfect.

B．Be generous with praise.

C．A contented mind is an everlasting feast.

D．There is no best, only better.

2. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?

A．More and more people are tolerating mistakes.

B．It’s unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.

C．Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.

D．The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.

3. What does the author think of imperfection?

A．It’s unbearable.	B．It’s part of our life.
C．It deserves to be overcome.	D．It does harm to our mental health.

4. What might be the most suitable title of the text?

A．Far From Failing	B．Perfectionism Phenomenon
C．Perfectly Imperfect	D．Unachievable American Dream
