2 . One recent night， while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal， my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked， “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.”In other words， ideals—general descriptions of people's expectations of themselves and others—can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin， the year of their birth or any other related factors.

I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America.The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes：Jewish people were“greedy”， Mexicans were“poorly educated”， and Asians were“good at math”.These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their way into our belief systems， harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush-to judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination.

You can also see these over-generalized descriptions being made against today's Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among mile millennial being described as “monkish”， or“dad-fashion”which has given the“greasy middle-aged men”tag.stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.

It's about time that we， as a society， walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous“I Have a Dream”speech：“T look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin， but by the content of their character.”By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.

1. According to the passage， how do people tend to judge others?

A．By describing people's personalities.

B．By truly getting to know those around.

C．By observing their noticeable features.

D．By following Martin Luther King's speech.

2. Examples of“millennial”and dad-fashion”are mentioned in Paragraph 3   to reveal             .

A．generalizations have unfavorable position in society

B．generalizations have a negative influence on our society

C．generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-age Chinese

D．generalizations make today's Chinese people lack interest or worry

3. The passage is mainly concerned with        .

A．the common prejudice

B．people's expectation of themselves

C．the groundless worries

D．the famous speech of Martin Luther King Jr.

3 . Last year, I received a special present. My children ________ me a stainless steel coffee machine for my birthday. I love drinking coffee every morning and couldn’t ________ to use it. But ________ I poured my first cup, the coffee spilled (洒出) all over the table. Thankfully, no one was around to see my ________ face! I kept trying, but each morning I ________ be seen wiping up the coffee. Then I realized if I poured very ________, there could be no spilling. My normal ________ was to rush through breakfast to get on with my day. But eventually I learned not only to pour but to ________ the experience: the taste and the stillness of a new day.

It promoted me to ________ upon whether I was rushing through in other areas of my life. So I started to appreciate even the most ________ moments. When shop owners apologized for keeping me waiting, I’d say, “Not a problem. I’m not ________.” I even enjoyed sitting in front of my house talking with ________ and sharing our own stories, ________ we had known each other for a long time. It seemed that the world around us slowed to a ________ we could handle.

Stillness not only slows the pace of life, but also ________ the soul, helping us to enjoy the world’s small pleasures and realize the truth of life.

4 . A closet (储藏室) is a years - long collection of exactly what makes you the person you are. The _________ rose in my chest when my mom recently decided to move _________ it meant we would have to _________ out Dad's closet, nearly a decade after his death.

In the years after his death, I would sometimes walk into that closet. I had moved many miles away, starting a life elsewhere as my mom took pains to slowly _________ her home-sweeping away the dust of sadness, and making it once again a place for _________ and gathering.

In the closet, I could _________ the dad I had before he had a brain cancer. I _________ that would go away when my mom moved.

I rolled around _________ in bed. Could I stand to see this closet one last time before Mom moved? Would I find the _________ to help clear that stuff out?

Then, a __________: ''I had no idea, '' my mom said. ''I cleaned it out already. ''

The announcement knocked me sideways. What had she thrown out? Would seeing this __________ closet to which I’d __________ attributed such meaning jolt (震动) my heart and cause me to have a meltdown?

I flew home shortly thereafter, trying to keep my mind __________ it with fitful naps (打盹) on the plane. When I finally got through the front door, I knew where I was going: to see this empty closet that I swore would __________ me.

I pulled the doors open. What happened next __________ me: There was no panic—just __________. Sure, Dad's stuff was mostly __________, but I realized then that I didn't need to see it to __________ what we had. The objects were just an outer layer above the warm __________ I held within.

6 . I walked with my friend to the newsstand the other night, and he bought a paper, thanking the newspaper seller politely. The seller didn’t even ________ it.

“A dull fellow, isn’t he?” I commented.

“Oh, he is that way every night,” shrugged my friend.

“Then why do you continue to be so ________ to him?” I asked.

“Why not?” inquired my friend. “Why should I let him ________        how I am going to act?”

As I thought about this incident later, it occurred to me that the ________ word was “ACT”. My friend acts toward people, but most of us react toward people.

He has a sense of inner balance which is ________ in most of us; he knows who he is, what he stands for, how he should ________ . He refuses to return impoliteness for impoliteness, ________ then he would no longer control himself.

When we are instructed in the Bible to return good for evil, we look on this as a(n) ________ command. But it is also a psychological prescription for our emotional health.

Nobody is ________ than the forever reactor. His center of emotional gravity is not rooted   ________ himself, where it belongs, but in the world outside him. His spiritual ________ is always being raised or lowered by the ________ climate around him, and he is a mere creature under the control of these ________ .

Praise gives him a feeling of excitement, which is ________ , because it doesn’t last and it doesn’t come from self approval. Criticism ________ him more than it should, because it ________ his lack of confidence. Being ignored hurt him, and the least suspicion of unpopularity in an place brings him __________ .

A peace of spirit can’t be achieved until we become the ________ of our own actions and attitudes. To let another determine our feelings is to give up ________ over our own personalities, which are essentially all we ________ . The only true possession is self-possession.

Everyone would have success if it     1     (be) free. But there are few successful individuals and each of them had put in enough productive work     2     they received anything in return.

You begin to respect the work itself, to build some     3     (exception) qualities along the way, and to learn important life lessons during it.

There is a popular     4     (believe) that in the beginning of your journey, you aren't ready to handle the success and all the responsibilities that come together with it. But earning it with sweat and sacrifices     5     (prepare) you for that. So the hard work, together with the time it takes, is     6     must on your journey to success.

9 . I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong   _________ , and talks at the same time, and no one has a   _________ leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even   _________   with each other on different topics.   _________ a family like mine has made me more   _________   about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that I’m not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, I’m not ______ to the nodding-your-head-and-__________ -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply   __________ with the person you’re speaking with, when his story becomes so   ___________that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.

I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit organization called Noah, which works   _________ on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But   _________ you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I’d tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I   _________ , but mostly listened.

And had I not spent two months   _________ , I might have missed the   _________ moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noah’s community centers, orphaned(孤儿)at the age of three, whispered after a long ______ , “I love you.”

______   that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their   _________ and nod and respond at the   __________ time-but most of the time I was   _________ about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that it’s in those moments when my mouth is closed and my   _________ is wide open that I’ve learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself.

10 . Exams never made me break out in a nervous sweat with tears threatening to ruin my already-trembling façade — but this one did. Even booking my piano exam reduced me to a blubbering mess of anxiety.

I feel permanently scarred inside churches — no longer admiring their beauty because, over the years, I have received such terrible marks from examiners hiding behind the stained-glass partitions. Despite being 15 — too old, too cool to be frightened — I remember trembling inside the bathroom stalls before my tests. I wished I never had to play in front of others.

But this time, after booking my Level 8 Royal Conservatory of Music piano exam, I went back to my normal routine. A little practice here, a little practice there. And then it happened.

My trusty, 10-year-old electric piano gave out. Middle C started to sound like an F-sharp and all other keys sounded like they were a fourth above their natural tone. Thankfully, my precious, boredom-saving buttons still worked. I could still change my piano’s settings from “piano” to “harpsichord .” I admit, it was a lot of fun banging on my wacky keys. Each note bonged like the sound on children’s TV shows when a character repeatedly runs into a wall.

Goofiness aside, I had to get my act together. I hated practicing but I really wanted a good mark. When I told my father what had happened to my piano, he only glared at me with disappointment, “When I was your age, I learned to be resourceful.”

Hmm. I had a broken piano, an exam coming up in a few months and a father who refused to buy me a new piano because he wanted to teach me a “life lesson”. I finally came upon a decision: I’d practice at school.

Going to a private school had to have its benefits, so I looked for a place to play. The school had many pianos but only a few in tune. Within a few days of searching, my piano books, my artistic best friend and I headed off to a music room at every available opportunity.

I loved finding new pianos in hidden corners of the school and I laughed at the dusty old historic pianos. They really had character. I spent hours in those music rooms while my friend honed her art skills in sketching and drawing. She suffered through my annoying, repetitive scales while I looked over my shoulder once in a while and admired her work. Not only did I become a better musician, but I also managed to gain a few subpar skills as an art critic.

As my exam drew close, all the music teachers knew to look for me in the piano rooms during recess, after school and late on Fridays. In anticipation of my assessment, one of my music teachers let me perform for her as a mini practice exam. To my surprise, she was greatly impressed.

Within a few months I went from not caring about my playing to feeling actually, maybe, kind of proud of my work. And over countless hours spent in my favorite, soundproof music room, I discovered that behind the piano, I could become anyone. Talking to other people never came easy to me, but I was able to express myself through music. I became overjoyed. It was like I had developed a sixth sense, one that only musicians could understand.

When I played, my worries about what others thought of me and how I viewed myself merged to reveal who I really am. All my adolescent musings made me feel like I was in a cage, but music gave me the key. Sitting behind a piano and creating music combined the movement of my body and the inner workings of my heart.

Music had never been the love of my life but that was changing. I loved the idea of being on a stage and creating something for others to enjoy and remember. Actually, it wasn’t a something, but rather a feeling that the audience would carry outside into a world where music wasn’t the only thing that people cared for.

When the time came to play in front of an examiner, instead of fearing my judge, I feared nothing but being unable to represent all my hard work. All the anxiety I had about going up on stage dimmed, and when the lights went on, all I could think about was the marvellous journey I’d had to get here. Trilling the keys reminded me of when I’d spent nearly two hours alone in a music room, more content than I had been anywhere else. Playing the melody reminded me of the bittersweet music experiences of past years.

Many days later, I received my mark. Not only did I earn a rarely mentioned “well done” and an 82 per cent, I had rewritten what music meant to me.

Now whenever I get caught up in the daily struggle, I remember the hard work that it took to reach my goal. Whenever I feel discouraged, I never forget to look at the gleaming keys of my new upright piano. As my father always says, some lessons are just learned the hard way.
