A little girl lived in a simple and poor house on a hill．Usually she （16）　    　 play in the small garden．She could see over the garden fence and across the valley a wonderful house with shining golden windows high on another hill．（17）　   　  she loved her parents and her family，she desired to live in such a house and  （18）　        　  all day about how wonderful and exciting   （19）　  　 must feel to live there．

At the age when she gained some  （20）　   　  skill and sensibility（识别力），she （21）　  　 her mother for a bike ride （22）　   　 the garden．Her mother finally allowed her to go，（23）　     　 her keeping close to the house and not （24）　                　 too far．The day was beautiful．The little girl knew （25）　 　      where she was heading!（26）　   　 the hill and across the valley，she rode to the（27）　   　 of the golden house．

（28）　   　 she got off her bike and put it against the gate post，she focused on the path （29）　   　 to the house and then on the house itself．She was very disappointed when she （30）　    　 that all the windows were （31）　   　 and rather dirty．

So （32）　   　 and heart﹣broken，she didn't go any further．She （33）　   　，and all of a sudden she saw an amazing （34）   　．There on the other side of the valley was a little house and its windows were golden．Looking at her little home，she（35）　    　that she had been living in her golden house filled with love and care．Everything she dreamed was right there in front of her nose!

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry（林业），and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large．Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas（1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each﹣a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France．The statistics（统计）of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day．As the rush to live out of town continues．rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment．

39．Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb？　   　

A．Because they are the same．

B．Because the rush takes place too quickly

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years，you will experience a lot of changes．The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly．Don't panic！You will deal successfully with them！You are a young adult now!

With more responsibility，you will find more freedom to make your own choices．This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future．You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do．Both situations are fine！Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you．

Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices．You will probably want to be independent．But try not to shut your family out of your life．You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself．Your family have been with you since you came into this world．

It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family．Choose your friends wisely．A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens．

This period is part of the life cycle．There are some people who will be with you throughout life's journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways．Leaving school can be hard．The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again．

You are a young adult．It is your life．No one can live it for you．The choices that you make from now on will be your choices．So making the right choices will be important to you．Life is for living．Enjoy your life wisely!

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need．The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks．Of course，I responded with an immediate"Yes！"．As I planned the meal in my head，I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food．I have done so countless times with a very open heart．

But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life．When my mother passed away，our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks．A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food．The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain．

Later in my life，when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins，women of the church again stepped in to help．They arranged babysitting for my two year old daughter，and brought lovely dinners to our house．Even when I was put in the hospital，my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room．How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter．

Food is all about comfort．It feeds our bodies，but it can also feed our souls．When you hear people talking about their favorite holidays，it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food．I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others．It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need．

44．The author has given lots of food to others because　    ．

A．she is poor at cooking

C．was glad to be able to lend a hand

D．was tired of preparing food

46．What do we know about the author's family？　   　

A．Her family is too poor to buy enough food．

B．Her family lives not far from a church．

C．Her husband is not good at cooking．

D．She has a babysitter taking care of her twins．

47．According to the passage，which of the following conclusions can we get？　  　

A．A good beginning makes a good ending．

B．One good turn deserves another．

C．Actions speak louder than words．

D．Every man has his faults．

Some people will do just about anything to save money．And I am one of them．Take my family's last vacation．It was my six﹣year﹣old son's winter break from school，and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip．The flight was overbooked，and Delta，the airline，offered us 400perpersonincreditstogiveupourseatsandleavethenextday．IhadmeetingsinNewYork，soIhadtogetback．Butthatdidn'tmeanmyhusbandandmysoncouldn'tstay．Itookmynine﹣month﹣oldandtookoffforhome．Thenextday，myhusbandandsonwereofferedmorecreditstotakeanevenlaterflight．Yes，Iencouraged﹣okay，ordered﹣themtowaititoutattheairport，to"earn"moreDeltaDollars．Ourtotaltake：1，600．Not bad，huh？

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either．But as a big﹣time bargain hunter，I know the value of a dollar．And these days，a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up．

I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks．I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade．I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade：A Consumer Survival Guide．And I really do  what I believe in．

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth．I'm  also tightfisted when it comes to shoes，clothes for my children，and expensive restaurants．But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut．It keeps its shape longer，and it's the first thing people notice．And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture．Quality lasts．

Forgiveness

To forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate．However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health．People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research．

（51）　  　 Try the following steps：

Calm yourself．（52）　   　 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．

Don't wait for an apology．Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（53）　  　 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．

Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused your pain．Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．

（54）　   　 If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．

Don't forget to forgive yourself．（55）　   　 But it can rob you of your self﹣confidence if you don't do it．

A．Why should you forgive？

B．How should you start to forgive？

C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．

D．Try to see things from your offender's angle．

E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．

F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress﹣management technique．

G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time．

Dear Susan，

I'm very gladly to hear you are coming to visit me the next Friday．Unfortunate，I won't be able to meet you at the airport although I have classes in the afternoon．You won't find difficult to get to the city center．The airport bus leaves every 30minute and will take you rightly to the Friendship Hotel．My classes will be over by then or I will pick you up there．I will take you to a hot pot restaurant for dinner and we'll talk with our plan for the weekend over dinner．Having a pleasant trip and see you Friday．

Yours，

Zhang Ming．
