第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
On a February day during an unusually mild winter, I found myself missing the snowy beauty. I enjoyed the feeling that comes from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I’m cosy inside with a good fire burning in the stove. But there were more serious concerns, like the lack of rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires. Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for the vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles.Then I happened to see three little robins (知更鸟) fly into our yard. What were they doing here? West of us, in the Willamette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year. But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog ( 土拨鼠) had wanted to appear, it couldn’t have broken through the frozen earth. And yet, these robins had arrived.
Their presence brought me a flow of happiness. It felt like a celebration as I dug into my bag of birdseed and spread a handful on the ground. Above me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for some smoke from a neighbor’s chimney. The lively cold made the air fresh and clean.
My robins jumped lightly toward the seed. My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree.
Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked out snowless flower beds. To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil. Despite the cold, it wasn’t ready to go back inside. Just a short meeting with those robins had renewed my spirit. The next day I would return to my outdoor work with a cheerful heart and a hopeful eye for these signs of spring.
21.The author missed a snowy winter because snow could .
A. prevent forest fires B. boom his business
C. promise an early spring D. bring him a good feeling
22.The author felt happy when finding ______.
A. the sky was deep blue with clouds
B. three little robins flew into his yard
C. wild flowers burst in the Willamette Valley
D. a groundhog appeared through the frozen earth
23.We can infer from the passage that the author _____.
A. would enjoy wild flowers the next day
B. thought winter was already over
C. longed for the coming of spring
D. loved robins the most
B
Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new mobile at full price.
A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.
Fortunately, there’s a solution.
The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.
Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.
Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.
Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone’s location.
He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”
24. Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic for discussion.
B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
C. To warn us that we should be careful.
D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
25. The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. habits of using mobile phones
B. fear of losing mobile phones.
C. eagerness for new mobile phones.
D. independence of mobile phones.
26. Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?
A. Avoiding using phone for some time
B. Learning more about modern technology.
C. Protecting one’s phone against any damage.
D. Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Attitude toward mobile phone.
B. New mobile phone technology.
C. Disadvantages of mobile phone
D. Solutions to nomophobia
C
I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happened to be that put-upon member of society-a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I’m convinced that things are being run only to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a new motto for so–called “service” organizations ---- Staff Before Service. How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there aren’t enough staff on duty at all the service counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to increase counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting(暗示) darkly at higher prices, claim that bringing all their cash registers into operation at any time would increase expenses. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service courters to be occupied “at times when demand is low.”
It’s the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice shrinks. As for us guests(and how the meaning of
that word has been cut away little by little), we just have to put up with it. There’s also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been gradually withdrawn from service in the interests of “efficiency” (i.e. profits) and replaced by coin-eating machines which supply everything from beer to medicine, not to mention the creeping threat of the tea–making set in your room: a kettle with teabags, milk bags and sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I don't, especially when I am paying for “service”.
Our only hope is to hammer our annoyance whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, restore that old saying----Take Our Custom(购买) Elsewhere.
28. In the author’s opinion ,the quality of service is changing because___________.
A. the staff are less considerate than employers
B. customers are becoming more demanding
C. customers are unwilling to pay extra money
D. more consideration is given to the staff than customers
29. The disappearance of old-style hotel porters is caused by the fact that__________.
A. self-service provides a cheaper alternative
B. the personal contact is less appreciated nowadays
C. machines are more reliable than human beings
D. few people are willing to do this type of work
30. The author’s final solution to the problem discussed in the passage is ___________.
A. to put up with whatever service is provided
B. to go where good service is available
C. to make full use of all kinds of coin-eating machines
D. to make strong complains wherever necessary
31. The main purpose of the passage is________.
A. to explain the reduced supply of good staff
B. to inform readers of the lack of cooperation among staff
C. to argue against deliberate understaffing and declining service
D. to give an account of the condition of inefficient staff
D

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”----Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 36
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. 37 Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
2. Have fewer meetings.
38 And they cat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
3. 39
When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surrounding, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. 40
A. Cut the unnecessary.
B. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.
C. Attend to what’s important.
D. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.
E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
F. Pick 2-3 important thing---or even just one important thing---and word on those first.
G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.

Fruit is good for our health, but how can you pick out good fruit when buying it?
Apples should have smooth firm, unbroken surfaces without brown marks. Some apples may have brownish spots on the skin. They are usually caused by weather, and the flavor is not changed.
The amount of red on peaches depends on the variety. It is not always a sign of ripeness. Find the peach that smells good and has a clear line sunk in the flesh. The overripe peach often has a dry stem end and is too soft.
To check whether a pear is ripe, press it gently near the stem end. If it is a little bit soft, it’s ripe. Not al pears turn yellow as they ripen. Instead, most pears show little or no change in color as they ripen.

Meier, 43, a marketing director in Beaver Falls, prefers her books on paper, not screens. After working on a computer all day, she says, “I want a book in my hand. Turning over its pages is my way of knowing it's time to relax and slow down.” Meier, who's sticking with physical books, doesn't consider herself any kind of digital “resister.” “I'm comfortable with all forms of technology,” she says. “However, when it comes to books, I suppose I'm a traditionalist. My preference will always be the real thing.”
To her, part of the joy of reading is the book itself: “pulling it from the shelf, inspecting the cover, letting it fall open to a random page.”
Both have lots of company. Statistics show that e-book sales grew 43% last year, but that's a slowdown compared with the triple-digit increases in recent years. E-books remain the fastest-growing part of the book market but account for only about 20% of all sales, reported by publishers.
Miscioscio and Meier are at opposite ends of a book business in transition. Even though e-book sales have grown more than 4,000% since 2008, it's unlikely that physical books will disappear the way records did in the music industry.
21. Miscioscio will ______ when a book is not available digitally.
A. give up reading such kind of books
B. switch to the book of lower price
C. buy the book on paper
D. take an e-reader onto the loungers
22. According to Meier, her “preference” refers to ______.
A. paper book B. part of joy C. a random page D. an e-book
23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Records are unlikely to disappear in the music industry.
B. Miscioscio and Meier are two opponents in book business.
C. The market share of e-books is bigger than that of paper books.
D. Physical books will remain to be accepted to some people.
24. What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A. E-books will dominate the book industry eventually.
B. Readers go their own way in choosing books.
C. New technology brings more benefits for readers.
D. Physical books will disappear gradually in the future.
B
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
25. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
C. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
26. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A. Uninterested. B. Curious. C. Approving. D. Afraid.
27. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By following the order of time.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By providing examples.
D. By following the order of importance.
28. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To present the change of views on dirt.
D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
C
It all began with a stop at a red light.
Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006 . While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.
“Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.” Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered(纠缠)her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something.
“What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”
Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home.
Eventually, that’s what the family did. The project —crazy, impetuous (鲁莽的) and utterly inspiring — is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: “The Power of Half.” It’s a book that, frankly, I’d be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.
At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference — for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a column a week ago, it described neurological (神经生物学的)evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction. The Salwens’ experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness.
Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.
29. What does the underlined word “inequity” most probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Unfairness. B. Satisfaction.
C. Reasonable statement D. Personal attitude.
30. What does the underlined sentence “Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager.” means? ______
A. Don’t respond to a child's demands firmly without consideration.
B. Unless a child is realistic, never give an answer immediately.
C. Give an answer if the child is reasonable.
D. Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The Salwens regretted selling their house.
B. The relationship between the family members of the Salwens is much closer.
C. Small houses can bring happiness.
D. The Salwens intend to buy another big house.
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap.
B. Unselfishness has nothing to do with people’s primary satisfaction.
C. Hannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house.
D. The writer’s children asked him to sell their house.
D
Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of years. It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew (腱). And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch (缝合) in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.
Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howe’s machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle (脚踏板) to power his machine. This improvement left the sewer’s hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement(侵犯). Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties(版税). In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.
33. Barthelemy Thimonnier’s garment factory was burned down because _____.
A. people did not know how to put out the fire
B. Elias Howe thought Thimonnier had stolen his invention
C. workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire
D. the sewing machines couldn’t work finally
34. Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties?
A. Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.
B. Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
C. Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
D. Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Early History of the Sewing Machine
B. The Case between Howe and Singer
C. Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine
D. A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
____36____When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. ____37____.
The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. ____38____It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. ____39____
On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. ____40____In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
A. Then a third level appeared.
B. Different people have different wants on each level.
C. There are several levels of wants in one’s life.

A
It was a physical class. But it was nothing like previous ones — the class was “attended” by over 60 million students across China, and the teacher was not even on the planet: she was 340 kilometers above the earth.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Wang Yaping. I’ll host your lecture today.” Smiling to the camera, Wang, China’s second female astronaut, started her video class on June 20 on board the Tiangong-1 space station.
To show how Newton’s Laws work in space, Wang and her fellow astronauts used simple items like balls and spinning tops. The highlight of the lecture was when Wang made a film of water using a metal ring, something that only happens in zero gravity, where the surface tension(张力) of water is much higher than it is on the earth. She then took it a step further by pouring more water onto the film and turning it into a water ball, leaving the audience amazed by what they saw.
The 40-minute lesson seemed to have passed too quickly for students to see enough of those magical experiments. But sending stuff into space is really expensive. According to The Beijing Times, every kilogram launched into space cost 20,000 dollars. The experimental items taken this time were all strictly selected and weighed about 2.9 kilograms in total. This adds up to quite a large price tag.
The organizers of the event also had to consider the time of day: the communication signal between the earth and Tiangong-1 was best during that specific 40 minutes, when the spacecraft was flying within the coverage of all of the ground-based testing stations.
1. Why is the class different from a common one?
A. Because it took 40 minutes.
B. Because over 60 million students across the world attended it.
C. Because the teacher was on the planet.
D. Because the lecturer was in space.
2. One of the experiments shows .
A. object motion under weight conditions B. laws of physics under weightless conditions
C. laws of physics under weight conditions D. how Newton’s Laws work on the earth
3. Which phrase can best replace the underlined words in the passage?
A. took a photo of water. B. recorded moving pictures of water.
C. made a thin layer of water. D. all the above.
4. Which of the following statements can be the best title of the passage?
A. Teaching from the Sky. B. Teaching on Physics.
C. Teaching Experiments. D. Teaching by an Astronaut.

Camilla Broomstick, a missing Camden –area woman, was reported found inside her damaged Chevrolet Malibu Sunday afternoon in a County near Camden New Jersey, at the bottom of an embankment(路堤) off a highway, according to authorities. Her car, turned upside down, was spotted by a passer-by who had stopped to view scenery and noticed something shining and what looked like a body, authorities said.
When emergency res ponders arrived, they found Broomstick alive inside her severely damaged car. The vehicle rested upside down after flying 120 feet off the highway and rolling an additional 200 feet into an aspen woods.
“The crash alone would have killed her,” New Jersey State Trooper Dean Enoch said. “It's surprising that she survived the crash at all, and then to be down there for that amount of days without food or water.”
Earlier Monday, the family released a statement at the hospital thanking emergency responders who rushed Broomstick to the hospital and to the man who found her and notified authorities.
“We sincerely appreciate all the thoughts, prayers and kind gestures from the community during such a hard time for our family,” the statement read. “While we're hopeful of her prognosis(愈后), Camilla was seriously injured and with multiple internal and external injuries. Later this afternoon Camilla will be undergoing surgery here to amputate(截肢) both of her feet. Doctors were not able to save her feet due to the serious injuries. Camilla is in critical but stable condition at this time and has a very long road ahead.”
In the statement, family members mentioned reports that Br oomstick wrote a request for help on an umbrella she pushed out the car window. “We cannot comment on that right now because we have not seen the umbrella,” the statement said. Family members also asked that the public respect their privacy.
8. Who found the severely damaged car?

C. Emergency responders. D. Her families.

If you put a buzzard(秃鹰) in a pen(围栏) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be a prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small prison with no top.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight height from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
A bumblebee (大黄蜂), if dropped into an open tumbler(平底玻璃杯), will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but insists on trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
12. Why does a buzzard choose to stay in a pen?
A. Becaus e it is safe to live there.
B. Because it gets used to living there.
C. Because it cannot take off within an limited area.
D. Because it lost its ability to fly.
13. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means “ .”
A. to run slowly B. to move slowly C. to pace slowly D. to fly slowly
14. A bumblebee will completely destroy itself for .
A. it does not look for a way out above B. it is dropped into an open cage
C. it does not try to find a way to escape D. it hurts itself while flying
15. In which way are many people similar to a buzzard, an ordinary bat and a bumblebee?
A. They are overcoming all their problems and frustrations.
B. They are all content with the things as they are.
C. They choose to give in to problems and frustrations.
D. They do not seek new ways to deal with difficulties.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and looking for that special love.Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. To be loved, you should love and respect yourself as much as you do others. In order to love someone, you should love yourself.
●Stop comparing yourself to others. 16 We all have different gifts.When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, or a job, it makes you feel bad about yourself. Really be grateful about everything you have. Gratitude keeps your heart open to love.
●Practice receiving love. To truly love is to be able to receive it. When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, or says kind words, accept it. 17 Know that you are worthy of love. It is important to accept a gift of love by others. You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself that you are lovable. 18
● 19 Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion. Compassion is not self-pity, but rather willingness to accept one's own pain and regret.
●Stop trying to be perfect. Stop blaming yourself for being less than perfect. 20
Just follow all the steps above and don't let anyone's expectations of you put any pressure on you.
A. Keep a diary.
B. Appreciate yourself.
C. Do not feel sorry about it.
D. Always do your best, but not reaching perfection is NOT failure.
E. Allow yourself to feel the love that has come your way.

Possible Version
I often imagine what university I will enter next year. To be honest, I do hope I can go to Beijing University to learn economics which I’ve dreamed of since I was a child.
As a matter of fact, I haven’t completely put into my heart into all subjects such as maths, physics. I often want to play games and don’t listen to my teachers carefully in class.
As a saying goes “No pains , no gains.” I do know if I really want to realize my dream to the university, I have to work hard at all subjects. From now on, I am determined to make full use of my time, attending my class attentively, reading wildly, completing all the homework and doing sports to keep healthy. I believe, only by working hard at all subjects can I make my dream come true.

behavior.

【解析】：
① specially→especially。考查形容词和副词。specially表示“专门”，“特意”，强调目的性和专门性。especially表示“尤其”，“特别”，强调程度。
② which→whom。考查关系词的使用。前面先行词指人，且most of 加宾格，故用whom。
③ a→an。考查冠词，修饰unusual，是元音音素。
④ have→had或去掉have。考查时态。从下文the night before, 可以看出应用过去完成时或一般过去时。
⑤ with→without。考查介词及逻辑意义。上下看出应是“没有吃早点”。
⑥ hoped→hoping。 考查非谓语。上文已经有谓语rode，这儿只能用非谓语，做伴随状语，表主动。
⑦ 去掉was。考查语态，turn out没有被动语态形式。
⑧ our→we。考查人称代词。We students 的身份是学生，our students是身份是老师，从上文grasped the schoolbag看出作者是学生.
⑨ 在needn’t 和come之间插入have。needn’t have done意为“本不必做某事(而实际上做了)”。
⑩ laughters→laughter。抽象名词laughter 为不可数名词，且构成固定搭配 burst into laughter。
