11、Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They are very busy working to 1 the family. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more 2 . Finally, when my father is very tired from hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper（发脾气）.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I 3 sat down beside her and looked at her. “Mom, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a low voice.
My mother stopped and raised her head with 4 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was very worried 5
I thought I had hurt her. At last my mother said: “ Susan, Look at this thread（线）. Sometimes it 6 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 7 and lasting（持久的）.

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
He said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother 14 .

13、We recycle rubbish, so why not language? Recycling language means using vocabulary that you have learnt before again and again. However, unlike rubbish that piles up (堆积) in our environment, if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it. So how do you recycle language?
There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your won words. After you have don this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don’t worry if you have made mistakes. That’s how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.

14、When you meet someone for the first time, you will get a quick idea in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself.
So you can allow others to be the mirror to see your own feelings of self-worth more clearly. And,you can see the people you don’t like as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can use them to help yourself to become better.
Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who showed objectionable table manners. My first feeling was that he was impolite. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was nervous to be seen with someone who was eating with his mouth open.I was very surprised to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant judged me.
Remember that your judgment of someone will not stop you from becoming like him. Just because I think my lunch partner impolite, it does not prevent me from looking or acting like him. In the same way, my patience to him would not make me eat food with my mouth open.
When you get close to life in this way, those whom you hate and those whom you love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you dislike and to accept your greatest personalities you are proud of.
1．When we judge others, we are really .
A．beginning to know them B．treating them in a polite way
C．showing what we ourselves are D．telling them what they should do

B．he was too angry to go on with his lunch any more
C．he was afraid he might be thought badly of by others
D．he was too surprised at the manners of his lunch partner

A．unknown B．unacceptable C．unfair D．unreasonable
4．What is the best title for this passage?
A．An Impolite Lunch Partner B．Pay Attention to Our Manners
C．How to Judge Others Properly D．Know Ourselves by Judging Others

17、Samantha(her husband， John， called her Sam)left the doctor’s house looking perfect， satisfied with her appearance.
The year was 1862. It seemed that the war with the North would never come to an end. Sam’s father had left as soon as possible， fighting for their land， for their new government， for the South.
At last， Samantha reached the house that she and John owned. It was a cold， rainy night， and she was glad to be home. She stepped into the sitting room. John sat in an armchair， reading a book. When he saw her， he put the book down， and stood， reaching his arms out for her. They kissed briefly. He put a hand to her now slightly round belly(肚子) and asked， “What did the doctor say?”
“He said the baby was fine and that I seemed healthy. Do you have any news?”
“Surprisingly， yes.” John hesitated for a moment， as if deciding how he would stop what he was about to say， and then unwillingly continued， “I’ve been required to join the army.”
Sam screamed， “What?” She was near tears. “But-but we’re just starting out.” Her voice shook. “I thought that after two years of begging my mother to let the two of us get married that our life would finally be happy. Isn’t there any way you can get out of this?”
John answered， “I’m afraid not.”
“Please. Please， John， if you love me， please get out of this. Break a leg or do something.” She began to cry. John comforted her， resting her head on his shoulder.
“Sam.”
“What?”
“Name the child after me； name it John
