One day he told me what had changed his life. “I used to think that nothing could call off what I had done. The thought of my mistake would 38 me in the middle of a smile or a handshake. It put a 39 between my wife and me.Then I had a / an 40 visit from the person I was afraid most to see - the mother of the classmate who died. Years ago, she said, I found it in my heart to have forgiven (原谅) you. So did Oliver and your friends. She paused, and then said 41 , Peter, you are the one who hasnt forgiven yourself.

For the first time in my life I felt worthy to love and be loved.” It is only through forgiveness of our 44 that we gain the freedom to learn from experiences. But forgiving our shortcomings doesnt mean denying (否认) that they exist. Instead, it means 45 them honestly, realistically. Can a person be all-forgiving and still be human? A scientist I know spent four years as a slave labor in Germany. His parents, his younger sister and elder brother were killed by Nazi. This is a man who has every reason to hate.

Besides Boys Day, they also have Girls Day and the 7-5-3 Festival.May 5th is Japanese Childrens Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boys Day. On Boys Day, children dont have to go to school. Each family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags. The flags are usually with three colors: black (standing for the father), red (standing for the mother) and blue (standing for the son). Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power. Girls Day is a girls festival on March 3rd. It is also called the Dolls Festival because on that day, families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their children to be strong and healthy.The 7-5-3 Festival is for children aged three, five and seven. Japanese people think that these three ages are the luckiest ones in ones life. On that day, these children get special candies wrapped (包裹) in beautiful bags.

One day, after an hour of arguing, Lisa said, “Mum, you never let me make decisions. You always decide what we are going to eat or where we are going to go.”The next day her mum called, “Lisa, you can decide what you are going to eat. Ill cook whatever you want, but you have to eat up whatever you ask for.” A big smile spread across Lisas face. “Okay. Id like bacon, sausages, toast, eggs and chocolate milk.”Lisa liked this. She ate the bacon, sausages and toast, but when she finished her first egg, she was full. Lisa forced herself to eat up and then she walked to school. When she got to school, her stomach hurt, but by the time she was ready to go home, she had been back to normal.“Mum, Id like steak, pie, peas, bread and butter and chocolate cake for supper.” As her mum made supper, she started smiling, knowing it wouldnt be much longer before Lisa learned her lesson. Lisa had no problem finishing the steak, pie, peas, bread and butter, but when she started eating the chocolate cake, she felt very full. That night she had a stomachache. She was up all night crying and felt very sick.The next morning she went to her mum, “Mum, I dont want to make all the choices any more. I want you to pick what well have for dinner in the future.”Satisfied that Lisa had learned her lesson, her mom replied, “You can pick what to eat once a week, but dont ask for too much, all right?”From then on, Lisa didnt argue with her mum that much, and her mum let her make more decisions.

Despite (不管) what the work is, how you relate to people influences not only how well you work, but also how you feel about yourself. And how you feel about and treat yourself in turn influences both how you work and how you get along with others.Mills suggests that people take a look at how they use time, which is what life is all about. Taking a look at how you use time, and how you would like to use it, can give you a better picture of yourself, and help you make better choices in life.Mills also points out how varying amounts (变化量) of time and energy influences how people feel. Having little energy and too much time on your hands can turn you into a couch (沙发) potato. But when you have both time and energy, you will enjoy your work the best, whatever job you do.Mills focuses on the need to love what you do, suggesting the following focuses:1. Be purposeful. Remind yourself of your purpose and put it into practice.2. Be responsible. Only attend to those things that are within your control.3. Be there. Stay focused on what youre doing at the time youre doing it.4. Be accepting. Accept yourself and accept others.Mills also shares a quotation from Buddha, “Your work is to discover your work, and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.”That can make the difference between just living and feeling fully alive. You have to work at living, not just at working. Mills book has just excellent guides for such a journey.55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Your attitude to work is your attitude to yourself as well.B. How you relate to yourself decides the meaning in your life.C. Having too much energy and time turns you into a couch potato.D. Focusing on what youre doing can help you make better friends.56. The underlined word “That” in the last paragraph probably refers to _.A. not only living, but also feeling fully aliveB. being purposeful, responsible and acceptingC. being an excellent guide for your life journey D. discovering ones work and giving oneself to it57. The best title for the passage is _.A. Love What You Do and What You HaveB. Live a Life with Higher Values or PurposeC. Find Meaning in Your Work and Your LifeD. Build Relationships between Your Work and LifeDLeading scientists have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies rushing into producing biofuels（生物燃料）as a solution for global warming, saying that it could be harmful if they do not consider the long-term influence of what they are doing carefully.It is necessary to build standards for the supply system of any green fuel project in order to make sure that there arent any side effects on the environment and social structures. The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the possible disadvantages.Production of crops (农作物), such as corn and soya beans, has increased greatly in the last few years as another eco-friendly choice to natural fuels, but environmental and human rights movement leaders are worried that this will lead to destruction (破坏) of rain forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increasing competition for crops as both food and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land chosen to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or social structures. There is already great concern about palm oil (棕榈油), which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to plant more palms.The report suggests that biofuels are not a solution for climate change, but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and environment influence thoroughly. There should also be greater measures (措施) taken to increase the effectiveness and to reduce needs.58. The underlined phrase “side effects” probably means _.A. improving conditions B. unwanted resultsC. increasing influences D. unchanged advantages59. The third paragraph is mainly about _.A. the danger of rain forests B. the warning given by the UN C. the green biofuels liked by peopleD. the possible disadvantage of biofuels60. What can we infer from the passage?A. The development of biofuels will probably influence peoples daily life.B. Greater measures should be taken to reduce the amount of biofuels.C. Almost all the companies are worried about the future of biofuels.D. Rain forests are being cleared to grow more palms as biofuels.七、阅读短文还原句子。 （共8分，每小题2 分）阅读短文，从下列所给的五个句子中，选四句还原到短文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。Elena Desserich was a beautiful girl. 61 She had dreamed of becoming an artist when she grew up - but sadly, she never had the chance to be an adult.
