Ⅱ 阅读理解
I am a good mother of three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I want to tell you today: Get a life—a real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, or the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It's so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It's_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in some ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination (目的地). I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

2.How did the author form her view of life?
A.Through social experience.
B.By learning from her friends.
C.Through an unfortunate experience.
D.From her children and husband.
答案:C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段第三句至末尾“I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in some ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.”可知,作者是从过去的那场不好的经历中得到的这次教训,故选C。

Ⅲ 概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Crying Mother
Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was shocked into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, crying with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn't type fast and then she was out of work.
My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how little I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand.“I guess we all have to fail sometimes.” Mother said quietly. I could sense her pain and the tension of holding back the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival.
Suddenly something inside me turned. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face against my shoulder and sobbed (啜泣). I held her tightly and didn't try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that it was enough. At that moment, feeling Mother's back with feelings, I understood for the first time her being so easy to break. She was still my mother, yet she was something more: a person like me, capable of fear and hurt and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought comfort in her arms.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station offered. “It's a job I can do, though,” she said simply. But the evening practice on the cold green typewriter continued. I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者看见了母亲因为工作不顺利而哭泣,意识到母亲也有压力、也需要鼓励和安慰。母亲的坚持不懈也让作者看到了努力和奋斗的意义。
