A
Interview with God
I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “M的y time is eternity （永恒）.” God smiled, “What questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while. And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?” “To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” “Thank you for your time,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like your children to know?” God smiled and said; “Just know that I am here always.”
56. In answering how many questions did God give “me” his opinion?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
57. To God’s eye, a rich man is one who _________.
A. lives a simple life B. is content with little

A. God does exist in the world.
B. He who loves others is sure to be loved by others.
C. When one makes a mistake, he should try to find an excuse to forgive himself.
D. It is easier to lose a friend than to make a friend.
59. The author wrote the passage to _________.
A. invite people to believe in God
B. present people’s wrong attitudes to life and give advice on how to live happily
C. show what is important in life

What is “Dads Make a Difference”?
A service-learning opportunity for teens that deals with fatherhood, parenting, and so on.

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves
that this has not always been the case in
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
64. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because .
A. it built a link among people B. it helped unite a community
C. it was a source of self-education D. it was a source of pleasure

A. concentration B. change C. amusements D. stories
66. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.
B. Students are poorly educated in high school.
C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
D. Poems have become difficult to understand.
67. In the last paragraph, the writer questions .
A. the difficulty in studying poems B. the way poems are taught in school
C. students’ wrong ideas about poetry D. the techniques used in writing poems
D

You are enrolled in a full ? time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have overlooked, however, is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.
Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.
As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.
The challenge here, therefore, is to align (與……保持一致) yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be face with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others’. But, remember, don’t compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality ? the assumption that all things are equal and justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the complaining phase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feelings of bitterness and anger.
72．Life is called a full ? time school, because .
A．it is full of all lessons to learn
B．you have plenty of time to learn lessons
C．you meet with specific lessons every day
D．there are so many subjects for you to choose
73．According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?
A．Having the same opinions as others.
B．Taking the distinct path from others.
C．Learning the lessons presented to you.
D．Doing the different things from others.
74．From the passage we can conclude .
A．everyone has his own track to follow
B．the same things usually happen to the peers
C．a painful divorce must lie in financial problems
D．a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage
75．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．All things are equal and justice will always prevail.
B．You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.
C．One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.
D．You have to complain “it’s not fair” whenever possible.
