- Passage 1 -
　　“What can you do when you have done nothing but mess up your whole life long？” These were the words I heard when I 1 the TV the other day. They were coming from one of the talk shows 2 are so popular on TV these days. I started to turn the channel but the words I had 3 made me stop for a moment. I 4 the speaker of them. He couldn’t have been more than 18 years old， but already he was writing off （认为……已失败） his life as a useless waste.
　　I wanted to shout at him， “You’re not 5 yet！”
　　It is 6 sad that so many people cannot get beyond （摆脱） their pasts and live 7 the present. There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still in their teen years 8 that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have 9 the boat to success and happiness. There are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by. I want to shout to them all， “Wake up！ You’re still 10 ！ What have you done today？” If you want a happy life， you can’t dwell on （细想；纠缠于） your past 11 . If you want joy and love in your life， you have to choose them today. God gives us a new chance at life every time we wake up in the morning. It is up to us to seize it.

　Today 12 be the beginning of a new life for each of us. We can choose joy right now. We can share love today. We can live in delight starting at this moment. It doesn’t matter how hard our past has been. Our present can be full of joy and our future can be full of 13 . It doesn’t matter if we are eight 14 eighty—we can still make our lives 15 . Life isn’t over until your last heartbeat. Start today， then， to make your heart beat with joy， love， and light.

　　- Passage 2 -
　　One afternoon， I went to pick up my mother from work.I got there a little early， so I 1 my car by a small park， and 2 for her.
　　As I looked outside the car window， I saw a little boy， around two years old， running 3 on the grass as his mother 4 from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 5 free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass， 6
　　up， without looking back at his mother， run as 7 as he could， again， still with a smile on his face， as if nothing had happened.
　　At that moment， I thought to myself， “why aren’t most adults this way？” Most adults， when they fall down， make a big deal out of it and don’t even 8 a second attempt. They would be so 9 that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or， because they fall， they would find a good 10 for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.
　　However， with kids， when they fall down， they don’t consider their falling down as a failure， instead， they treat it as a 11 experience. They try again and again until they 12 . The answer must be that they have not connected“falling down” with the word“failure”. As a 13 ， they are not discouraged in any way .Besides， they 14 think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words ，they allow themselves to make 15 ， so they remain energetic.

- Passage 3 -
　　I have been driving cars since I reached the pedals （踏板）. In Canada you 1 16 to get a driver’s license. I 2 myself to be a very good driver.
　　I visited China 20 years ago. I with my wife was in Shanghai to give a paper at a conference. We 3 the number of bicycles on the roads and the few cars. In Canada almost each family has one car， but it was 4 that most Chinese depended on bicycles.
　　I 5 Shanghai and to other Chinese cities many times since then and have watched the fast changes on the roads. There are far fewer bicycles now but 6 cars. The roads are crowded， the government has been forced to limit the number of days some cars can 7 and the traffic jams are almost constant （经常的）. So are the accidents. On a recent visit I saw four or five 8 within a two-week period.
　　To get a driver’s license in Canada， you must drive， with an examiner， on real roads and in real traffic. However， in China you learn on a closed course， 9 real traffic， get a license and only then are able to drive under real roads.
　　Driving in Canada and driving in China 10 two different experiences. In Canada there are traffic jams but they aren’t so bad. We have more traffic lights； we obey them and drivers are usually 11 ， allowing other cars to cut in front of them knowing it won’t make much difference. In China， if you stop 12 another car cut in front of you will probably be there for a long time because once one car gets in， dozens of 13 will follow.
　　I would rather 14 the bus than drive my car in downtown Shanghai and Beijing. Because it’s 15 and stronger than most things that might run into it.

　　- Passage 4 -
　　When I was small， my mum used to give the family something special for meals—she would make breakfast food for dinner.
　　I still remember one night my mum 1 some bread in front of my dad， something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise， my dad just took his 2 ， smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve 3 what I told him that night. 4 I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He 5 as usual， every single bit.
　　After dinner， my mum said 6 to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said， “I 7 burnt bread， dear. It doesn’t matter at all.” 8 ， I went to kiss Dad good light. I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and 9 ， “Your mum worked very hard all day. She’s really 10 . And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone！”
　　Now I know life is not perfect. 11 is perfect， either. As for me. 1 often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something 12 over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other， whether between a husband and wife， a parent and
