She told me shes 31 there for me, reminding me to relax for a moment and think. I did. And I 32 when the world is sometimes cruel, she will be there for me all the time.

Hobbyists raise pets, build model ships, weave baskets, watch birds, hunt animals, climb mountains, raise flowers, fish, ski, skate and swim. Hobbyists also paint pictures, attend concerts and plays, and perform on musical instruments. They collect everything from books to butterflies and from shells to stamps.People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship, knowledge, and relaxation. Sometimes they even give financial profits. Hobbies help people relax after periods of hard work, and provide a balance between work and play. Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired. Anyone, rich or poor, old or young, sick or well, can follow a satisfying hobby, regardless of his age, position, or income.Hobbies can help a persons mental and physical health. Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in helping patients get restored from physical or mental illness. Hobbies give bedridden or wheel-chair patients something to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves. Many hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting hobbies or pastimes(娱乐). In early times, most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies. But some persons who had spare time did enjoy hobbies. The ancient Egyptians played games with balls made of wood or pottery(陶器). People today have more time than ever before for hobbies. Machines have reduced the amount of time they must spend on their jobs. Hobbies provide variety for workers who do the same unchanging tasks all day long. More people are retiring than ever before, and at an earlier age. Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly found spare time hours.Sir William Osier, a famous Canadian doctor expressed the value of hobbies by saying, “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby”. 41.

According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fall. Unrealistic(不现实) expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well-especially if the parents are very supportive to their children. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although Michaels mother knows very little about music, his father is a good musician. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michaels friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age I used to win every competition I enter.” Winstons father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he is always quiet and unhappy.51. The main idea of the passage is _. A. what differences there are between parents B. what aim of a child can be easier to reach C. how parents should make a child a musician D. how parents should bring up their children52. Michael is lucky because _. A. his parents help him in a sensible way B. his family is rich enough to have a car C. his father is a successful musician D. he is free to do anything he likes best53. Winstons parents set so high a standard for him that _. A. he has to do his best to do everything B. he has made greater progress in music C. he is afraid he may disappoint them D. he often wants to kill himself someday54. It is one of the parents worst mistakes if they _. A. want their child to be a musician B. make their child try to achieve too much C. dont care their childs education much D. help their child to win music competitionDJerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!”He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I dont get it! You cant be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?”Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”“Yeah, right, its not that easy,” I protested. “Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: Its your choice how you live life.”I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination (开启号码锁的号码组合). The robbers panicked and shot him.Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma (创伤，外伤)center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets(子弹) still in his body.I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, Id be twins. Wanna see my scars?” I refused to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door, Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.”“Werent you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked.Jerry continued, “The paramedics (护理人员) were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, Hes a dead man. I knew I needed to take action.”“What did you do?” I asked.“Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry.“She asked if I was allergic(过敏) to anything. Yes, I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and shouted, Bullets!”Over their laughter, I told them. “I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.Attitude, after all, is everything.55.
