I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易動(dòng)感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface (表面)”.

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace – it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside – a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.

“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”

If you have to miss a meal a day, which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don’t eat it? If you have to make a decision of this type, most people (especially very busy people) will choose to skip breakfast.

However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast ( the meal which “break” you “fast” ) to be the most important  meal of the day. If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) we need to begin our working day with vigor(活力) and stay hopeful with good honor. However, many people skip breakfast or substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal. What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?

One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people. Participants(參加者) included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83. The results showed that if a person eats an adequate(豐富的) breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently(效率高地) and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person’s work involves mental(腦力的) activities. The study showed that if school-children eat fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast is inadequate(不豐富).

The study also showed that contrary to what people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. So remember, if you want to lose weight, skipping breakfast will not help you. You will likely lose more weight if you decrease your other meals.

1. According to experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because _____.

A．a(chǎn) good breakfast breaks you down fast

B．you’ll lose weight quickly if you skip breakfast

C．breakfast provides what a person needs to work

D．a(chǎn)fter a long night, you’ll feel very hungry

2.The underlined part “substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal”(Para. 2) probably means _______.

A．to exchange a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal.

B．To drink a cup of coffee instead of a well balanced meal.

C．To change a cup of coffee into a well balanced meal.

D．To regard a cup of coffee as a well balanced meal.

3.The example of school-children in para.3 shows that _______.

A．school-children will be quick and attentive all day if they eat breakfast

B．a(chǎn) proper breakfast will make mental workers more efficient

C．fruit, eggs, bread and milk are the best breakfast for mental workers

D．school-children who have breakfast are much brighter than those who don’t

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to Para. 4?

A．Some people skip breakfast because they want to be slimmer.

B．Most people who skip breakfast actually eat more for lunch.

C．People put on weight because they eat too much breakfast.

D．Skipping breakfast won’t help people who want to lose weight.

5.The best title of the passage is _______.

A．How to Lose Weight                     B．What’s a Healthy Diet

C．Surprising Results of a Study               D．Breakfast – A Meal That Breaks You Fast

D

Life is difficult.

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear.

These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct(指導(dǎo)).” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

1.Which sentence best express the central point of the passage?

A．Problems and difficulties represent a special kind of suffering.

B．We become stronger by facing and solving problems of life.

C．Life is difficult because our problems bring us pain.

D．People like to complain about their problems.

2.The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ___.

A．save space                            B．persuade readers

C．make readers laugh                      D．get readers’ attention

3.The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _________.

A．most people feel life is easy

B．the writer feel life is easy

C．the writer likes to complain about his problems

D．most people complain about how hard their lives are

4.According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in  order to ______.

A．encourage them to learn

B．teach them to fear the pain of solving the problems

C．help them learn to deal with pain

D．teach them how to respect problems

5.The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that ______.

A．we do not learn from experience

B．we do not learn when we are in pain

C．pain teaches us important lessons

D．pain cannot be avoided

Recently divorced in my 30s, I had no job and was on my way downtown on a rainy day to go to the employment offices. I had no umbrella, for my old one had fallen apart, and I couldn’t afford another one.

I sat down in the streetcar--- there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle inlaid (鑲嵌著…的) with gold and bright enamel (琺瑯). I had never seen anything so lovely. I examined the handle and saw a name on it. The usual procedure would have been to turn in the umbrella to the conductor, but I decided to take it and find the owner myself.

I got off the streetcar in a downpour and carefully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and found it. I called and a lady answered. Yes, she said in surprise that was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead, had given her as a birthday present, but it’d been stolen from her locker at school years before.

She was so excited that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her house. She took the umbrella, her eyes filled with tears. I was only too happy to see her get back the lost umbrella, and get a job she offered me.
