26、   Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense change in life. 【1】 So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?

Why we dislike change

Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they were against its construction. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.

【2】 Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know those changes will affect our future.

【3】

People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily.

When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. 【4】 In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. Don’t merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. 【5】 And it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know—your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!

A.The change is the reality.

B.A positive attitude helps a lot.

C.How we can overcome our fear of change

D.Great importance should be attached to changes.

E.But we get anxious over changes even when we do have a say.

F.And for some of us, even the smallest changes can make us unhappy.

G.People sometimes don’t really do justice to themselves in adapting to changes.

27、   Developing a hobby makes you an interesting person and gives you something fun and enjoyable to do in your free time. 【1】 So how can you find a suitable hobby for yourself? Find what interests you.

If you try to force yourself into a hobby that you hate, it’s not going to last! 【2】 For example, if you enjoy watching sports on television, you might have fun playing one. If you pick out something you like, you’re more likely to find a hobby that you still stick with (坚持)!

Determine the availability (有效性) of resources.

Make a list of what interests you, and determine what you can afford. While it may be easier to list the possible hobbies that you can develop, the real question is whether you will be able to afford it or not. 【3】

Remove the unrealistic options (选择).

【4】 But you can’t choose it for some reason. For example, you may like oil painting a great deal, but you can’t paint, as others in the house may find the smell unpleasant.

Try out the hobby options .

Once you have removed the unrealistic hobbies, it will become easier for you to know your actual possibilities. 【5】 In fact, you also have the chance of trying out all the hobbies that remain on the list and know what keeps you the most interesting. Once you have tried out all the hobby options, pick up the one that you believe you will be able to enjoy for long.

A. Figure out what sports fit you.

B. However, you should not wait to get started.

C. Instead, try turning what you love into a new hobby.

D. Make sure only realistic and practical options remain on the list.

E. Consider the tools for your hobby and let go of the hobbies you can’t afford.

F. You may be interested in a particular hobby and want to pick it up immediately.

G. It also opens up new opportunities of meeting people who keep similar interests.

28、As we drove across town, I prepared my two children for what they were about to see. A lady from our new church was dying of cancer, and I had volunteered to help her with the house-work. “Annie has a tumor(肿瘤) in her head, which has disfigured(损毁…的外形) her face,” I warned.

I struggled for the words to describe Annie’s appearance to my son and daughter. Then I remembered a movie I’d seen with my son. I wanted him to understand that disabled people are like anyone else—their feelings can be hurt, too.

“David, remember the movie Mask about the boy with the facial deformity(畸形)?”

“Yes, Mom. I think I know what to expect.” His tone(语气) told me it was time to stop mothering him so much.

“What does a tumor look like?” Diane asked me.

I didn’t want to frighten the child, so I prepared her just enough but not too much.

“Her tumor looks like the skin on the inside of your mouth. It sticks out from under her tongue and makes it hard for her to talk. You’ll see it as soon as you meet her, but there’s nothing to be afraid of. Remember, don’t stare.” Diane nodded. I knew she was trying to picture a tumor in her mind.

We entered the living room, where Annie was sitting in her chair. At the sight of my children, Annie’s face brightened. “Oh, I’m so glad you came to visit,” she said toughly.

David walked across the room to Annie’s chair, put his arms around her shoulders and pressed his cheek to her face. Smiling, he looked into her eyes and said, “I’m happy to meet you.” Just when I didn’t think I could be more proud, Diane copied her big brother and gave Annie the precious, accepting hug of a child. My throat tightened with emotion as I saw Annie’s eyes well up with grateful tears.

【1】From the mother’s description, we know that________ .

A. Annie was optimistic

B. Annie liked children

C. Annie suffered a lot

D. Annie wore a mask

【2】What does the underlined word “picture” in paragraph 7 mean?

D. the children were much too excited

【4】What’s the best title of this passage?

A. A mother’s preparation  B. The hug of a child

29、Smith had to drive across the Sahara Desert. It was a journey across hundreds of miles of empty desert.

After he had been driving for a few hours, there was a sandstorm. His car left the road and then broke down.

Smith began walking north across the hot sand under the scorching sun. He hoped he would soon reach the road again. Soon, his tongue was thick with thirst. He needed water, but everywhere he looked there was nothing except sand.

Smith kept walking. Then, about an hour later, a man riding a camel came into sight. Smith waved to him. The man on the camel rode up to him and stopped. “Please,” Smith said, “I am dying of thirst. Let me have some of your water.” The man slowly shook his head. “You can’t have any water,” he said, “but I’ll sell you a necktie.” “I don’t want a necktie,” Smith shouted at him furiously. “I need water.” But the man turned away quickly and rode off.

Smith continued walking. Two hours later, he met another man riding a camel. This time he asked if he could buy some water, but the man refused, saying, “No, but I’II sell you a necktie.” Angrily, Smith turned away from him and continued walking.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150词左右。

One sunny afternoon in June, my sister Jenny and I were walking home from school when we noticed a loud chirping (鸟叫) coming from an empty rubbish can beside the road. We walked over to the can and looked inside. We were surprised to find a little sparrow (麻雀) was sitting at the bottom of the trashcan chirping sadly. His right wing stuck out from his body. Jenny said it was probably broken.

She reached in and cupped (捧着) the bird in her hands, comforting him. The bird chirped all the way to our house. My mom took one look at the bird and said, “No way! I’m not having another animal in the house.” But when she got a closer look, she felt sad about the bird.

Then Mom sent me into the bathroom for tape and gently set the bird on the kitchen table to get a better look at him. She said his right wing was surely broken, so she created a splint (夹板) and carefully taped it to the bird’s wing. Our dog, Buttons, kept trying to get close to the bird, but we pushed her away.

Once the splint was on, we fed the bird water and some bread. The little bird earned the name Peep. We kept him in a cage. Every night, we put a towel over the cage, and Peep went right to sleep. And every morning, we put his cage outside and opened the door so he could hang around and get some fresh air.

Peep couldn’t fly, which seemed to disappoint him. He wasn’t used to walking everywhere. Finally, Peep made friends with Buttons, and he would jump onto Buttons’ back for a free ride around the backyard. Days later, Peep’s wing got better. One night, Mom told us that it was probably time to take off the splint. With Mom’s help, we cut off most of the splint. He didn’t completely recover, so there were bits of white tape stuck to his wing, but he didn’t seem to mind.

Paragraph 1:

Peep started pushing his wing up and down crazily, wanting to fly.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

As it got dark, we believed that Peep would never fly back.
