Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. A famous a Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” That’s to say, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others.Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.If you do above, you will be happy.1.

That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarterof a century,engineers have been making better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. A computer can report,decide and control in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer“think”like a man. With the help of a person,a computercan draw pictures,write music,talk with people,play chess,recognize voices,translate languages and so on . Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel.

Women never invent things. We do.”It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: machines,radios and guns,too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture. Before invention of agriculture, men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day,too. They collected corn, fruit and grasses. Then,one day more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds near her home in the Middle East. They grew –and the first wheat was born. The idea grew,too.Women planted corn and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: digs, cows and sheep. The idea grew,too. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home.They built villages and cities. Civilization began. Min began civilization after women invented agriculture. 26．Before the invention of agriculture life was difficult because____________.A.hunters sometimes killed other huntersB.hunters did not always get meatC.women went out to hunt every dayD.animals sometimes killed the women and children27.From the passage we know that domestic animals are________A. animals that feed on grassB. animals that live in natural conditionsC. animals whose meat can be used as foodD. animals that are kept at home28.After the first wheat was born, women soon saw that they could _________.A. go out and look for foodB. go hunting for meatC. plant corn,and fruit trees at homeD. go out to collect corn and fruit29.

Jack sat down, and when the waitress came to him, he asked for some vegetable soup. The new waitress wrote this down in a little notebook and went to order it in the kitchen.There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and the new girl was very busy, but at last she came to Jack with a plate on a large dish. She put the plate down in front of him, and he saw that it was not the vegetable soup which he had asked for , but some fish and potatoes.The waitress was getting ready to turn away again, but Jacl stopped her,“Miss,”he said,“Idid not order fish and potatoes, Iordered vegetable soup.”“Oh,”she answered, “I thought that you asked for fish.”“No,”said Jack,“Look at the notebook which you wrote my order in and you will see that I ordered vegetable soup.”The new waitress looked everywhere in her little notebook, and at last she found Jack’order.“‘Table No.24’,”she read out ,“One vegetable soup.Yes,I am sorry,Igot confused. I shall change it.”She put the notebook down on Jack’s table, took out her pencil, crossed out the words“vegetable soup”and wrote“fish and potatoes”instead.

These are known as guide words. The one on the left-hand side of the page tells you what the first word on the page is. The one on the right-hand side of the page tells you what the last word in the page is. So if you are looking for a word in the dictionary, you first look at the guide words at the head of the pages. Then you will be able to tell whether or not the word you want is on the page you are looking at.You will notice that a dictionary very often gives several meanings for one word. How could you decide which of these meanings is the one you need? First, you must know what part of speech the word is in the sentence. Is it a noun or a verb? Is it an adjective or an adverb? A word can be used in a different way in a sentence, and so may have a different sense. Next, you must see which of the meaning will fit into the sentence. It is important to study the rest of the sentence carefully in order to find out the meaning of the word36. The two words at the top of any page of a dictionary________.A.are known as those printed in heavy typesB.are called those on the left-hand side of the pageC.are known as those on the right-hand side of the pageD. are called guide words37. If you want to know what the last word on the page is , you may_________.A.look at the word in the right-hand side of the pageB.look up it in the last part of the dictionaryC.look up it in the first part of the dictionaryD. look at the word on the left-hand side of the page38. A dictionary often _______.A.tells whether or not the word you want is on any page you are looking atB.gives several meanings for one wordC.prints word in heavy typeD. gives two words in every page of it39. We would decide which of the meanings of a word in a dictionary is the one we need in the following order:______________.A.1)find out what part of speech the word is in the sentence;2)learn which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence by studying the restof the sentence carefullyB.1)know which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence;2)see what part of speech the word is in the sentence;3)study the rest of the sentence carefullyC.1)looking for a word in a dictionary;2)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;3)tell whether or not the word we want is on the page we are looking atD.1)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;2)know what part of speech the word is in the dictionary;3)find out which of the meanings of the guide words will fit into the sentence40. If in the dictionary you look up “load”in the sentence “We use an inclined plane to load or unload a truck”and the dictionary says:1. n. a burden; 2. n. amount of work….; 3. vt. put a burden on or into; 4. vt. add extra weight to …..Which meaning of the word makes the right sense in the sentence?A. The first.B. The second.C. The third.D. The fourth（I ）Tom was a shopkeeper. He had a small corner shop. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things. Tom worked hard in his shop but he had a good business and he was happy.Then a supermarket opened across the street. The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom’s shop.The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom. He found out what Tom’s prices were and then made his lower than Tom’s.People quickly stopped buying things from Tom’s shop. They bought everything from the supermarket instead. Soon Tom’s business was very bad and he was angry.“It’s not fair,”Tom thought,“I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson.”The price of steak in the supermarket was $5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window, “Steak--$4.50 a pound.”The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his window. “Steak--$4.00a pound.”An hour later,the sign in the supermarket said, “Steak--$3.75 a pound.” Ten minutes later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Steak--$3.50 a pound.” Five minutes later the sign in the sup ermarket said,“Steak--$2.50 a pound.” Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Stead--$1.00 a pound.”The manager of the supermarket ran cross the road into Tom’s shop.“This price cutting must stop,”he said,“Steak is costing me $4.00 a pound. I’m selling it at $2.50 a pound. I’m losing money every minute!”“I’ll stop cutting all my prices,”Tom said,“if you will stop cutting all yours.”The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook hands.Tom smiled.He had not lost any money on the steak .He didn’t sell steak at all.”41.

初中英语竞赛阅读题整合II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）AHayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941. As a boy, he liked to read and draw cartoons. After graduating from university in 1963, Miyazaki joined the Toei Animation （动画⽚制作）Company. At Toei, he worked on many animated movies, like the famous Puss in Boots. In 1984, he made Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, which was based on a comic book he wrote. Because this movie was so successful, Miyazaki was able to start his own animation company, Studio Ghibli.One of Miyazaki's most loved movies is My Neighbour Totoro, made in 1987. It is a children's movie, but many teenagers and adults like it too. The movie is about two sisters who become friends with a big, supernatural （神奇的）animal named Totoro. It is a very warm-hearted story, with many strange and interesting characters such as Cat Bus, a cat which is also a bus. Miyazaki's 2001 movie, Spirited Away, was even more popular than My Neighbour Totoro.All of Miyazaki's movies have strange but charming people and creatures. Many of his stories happen in worlds that are different from ours. However, they still show his ideas about real life. He often points out how humans hurt the natural world. He thinks people should change the ways how they live. This may be why so many people like his movies.51. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The movie My Neighbour Totoro. B.

These storms go around like a wheel（轮⼦）turning to the left. They have wind speeds of 60 kph or more. They can be very destructive （毁灭性的）. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Centre in Miami, Florida, looks out for hurricanes.When scientists discover a true hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a man's or woman's name. Why should hurricanes have names? The names make it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its dangers.The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be used. The WMO makes six lists （列表）of names, using the English alphabet. Each list is used for one year. When a hurricane happens, it gets the next name on the list for that year. For example, the first hurricane of the year might have the name Abel, while the second one could be Betty. The name lists do not include （包含）names beginning with the letters O, U, X, Y, and Z, since there are few names that begin with these letters. Asian countries use a different list. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals and trees.Why should hurricans have names? A. It sounds interesting. B. The names help people get information abouta hurricane. C. The names are only for the WMO. D. It is traditional.57. _________ decides what names will be used for hurricanes. A. The Tropical Prediction Centre B. A scientist C. The WMO D. Abel58. Which name would a hurricane never have? A. Rita. B. V eronica. C. William. D. Yanni.59.

A. books and buildings B. flowers and animals C. mountains and riversD. oceans and riversCDJs (disc jockeys) are the people who play and present music on the radio, or in a nightclub. A VJ (video jockey) is a person who introduces music videos on television.VJs were first seen on television in the early 1980s when MTV went on the air. As MTV became popular and the audience for music videos increased, different kinds of music video channels started broadcasting. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIV A in Europe had started.The VJs for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. Although some VJs showed mostly local content （本地内容）, other VJs presented shows for international viewers （电视观众）. These VJs, and the material （素材）they presented, needed to be popular in several different cultures.One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but her parents and grandparents are from India, France, and England. She speaks three languages and has fans across Asia.When asked what makes a good VJ, many successful VJs have given similar answers. To be a good VJ you need to know a lot about music, you need to be funny, and you can't be shy.61. DJs play music _________, while VJs introduce music videos _________.62. When did VJs first appear on television?63. VJs for international channels should be chosen carefully because they have to be _________.The map below shows the central part of a town and some of its important buildings.

Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles （搔痒）.Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been told to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes.Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn't be seeing her dad for a whole year. They depended on （依赖）him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? Casey began to cry more than ever.68. According to the story, one thing Casey enjoyed on the base was that she and her friends _________.69. How did Casey know that something was wrong when her dad got home?70. How long would her dad be away?AIvan Fletcher loves crazy inventions. He writes a weekly magazine column called “Un-believable Inventions”.“One of my favou rite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a stick of glue, but it's butter. You rub it on the bread instead of using a knife,” he says. “Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these special shoes on your dog or cat. As the ani mal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very useful!” A lot of these inventions come from Japan —the home of the crazy invention.Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. “The other day I found an invention call ed a Cat Seat Saver,” he says. “The Cat Seat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat — but it isn't real. You put it on your seat if you have to go to the restroom. No one will sit in your seat because they think there's a sleeping cat on it. Pretty cool!”However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website/doc/acdfe47d31b765ce050814d7.html says that their customers are young, professional people.“They buy these small things mostly for fun,” she says. “They are usually looking for a pres ent for a friend's birthday or a silly gift for a colleague.”If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy atlucyw@/doc/acdfe47d31b765ce050814d7.html .Fish RadioThis useful radio is completely waterproof, so you can listento it in the shower.

Kathy Miller talks about her night as a seat-filler.I was told to arrive at the theatre at noon, wearing my dress for the evening. There were about 200 of us seat-fillers, all very excited. We were told what we should and shouldn't do (for example, “Don't talk to the stars”), and then we waited until five o'clock. That's when the stars started arriving. Through the crowd, I saw Gwyneth Paltrow (beautiful in a blue gown), and Mel Gibson (He's a lot shorter than he looks in his movies!).The show started at six o'clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came out to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette, we were told to go and sit in his seat. The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times. In the end, I was really tired. But I was happy because, during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (He's very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts. It was an exciting night, but I think next year I'll watch the Oscars on TV at home like everyone else!61-62. Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.63.

I asked."Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct," he said. "You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间)-length, breadth(宽) and thickness.""There is nothing to argue with that, " the youngest member of our little group said."Exactly!" the time traveler answered, "But there is also a fourth dimension - time.""We all know about time, " another member of the group said.

In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?""Are you serious about this?" the doctor asked."I have never been more serious about anything," the time traveler said, "Come."We followed him to his laboratory.

I'm not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances（境遇）don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, andthere's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee（保证）you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success（2）The underlined word" that" refers to __________.A. putting in more timeB. succeeding in lifeC.

To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.5．阅读理解We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favor.The event took place on a snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. "As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out," said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. "Someone else told me the lake was only one meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I didn't think I had ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!"A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. "The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner （Smith） was in the water forcing his way through the ice, I couldn't imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as acucumber-he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid—back about it, "Most dog owners are the same as me.

Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（缝被子）.I silently sat beside her."Mom, is there love between you and Dad?

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar,Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A.

If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.

Does the bird really want to eat a cracker? T he answer is yes... and no. Polly probably will eat a cracker, but what she really wants issome attention.Certain kinds of birds are excellent talkers. They like to copy the sounds they hear around them. They also like the attention that people give them when they talk.Best Talking BirdsMany wild birds have the ability to mimic or copy sounds. Crows, jays, and starlings all can do it. But these birds rarely make good pets because they need lots of room, and they are not often comfortable around people.Some pet birds, such as parrots, can be great talkers. Among the large parrots, the best talkers are African greys and Amazons. The most popular smaller parrots are the budhies, otherwise known as parakeets.One should remember that just because a certain kind of bird can talk does not mean it will l talk. Each bird has a different personality. Some birds never learn to talk. Some may learn only a few words or sounds. Others seem to learn a large vocabulary easily, soaking up new words like some sort of feathered sponge.Although each bird is different, younger birds are more likely to learn to talk than older birds. Also, male birds are usually better talkers than females. However, if you teach a bird to whistle before it learns to talk, it may never learn to talk. This might be because whistling is easier for the bird.Teaching Your Bird to TalkPet birds often learn to talk just as a child does. They babble first, and then speak more clearly later. The easiest words for a bird to learn are short words with a strong consonant sound, such as “cracker” or “pretty bird.”It is important to repeat the word or phrase often when you are teaching a bird to talk. One way is to buy a tape that has words and phrases repeated on it and play the tape for your bird when you leave the house. You can also make a tape of your own to play when you are not around.Some birds learn by “association(联系),” which means they connect a word with something they see or hear. For example, many birds will say “hello” when they hear a telephone ring. Some may say “goodbye”when they hear keys jingle. One bird owner always said “Good morning”when she removed the sheet covering her bird’s cage every morning. Soon the bird began saying “Good morning”as soon as she began to remove the cover---even before the owner had said a word!Warning: Bird ListeningIf you are training your bird to talk, be careful what your bird hears. Birds can copy more than just words. They imitate(模仿) the sounds they hear, too. Those sounds could be annoying noises like a baby crying, the ringing of a telephone, or the clatter of a computer printer. One bird owner left his bird in front of a television all day. The TV was on a sports channel. After several football games, the pet was squawking “charge,”“defense,” and other football cheers. Even if you’re a sports fan, squawks of “defense”probably will not be as comforting as hearing your feathered friend say “I love you” as you enter the room.6. According to the passage, a bird is more likely to learn a word if _______.A. it listens to another birdB. it learns how to whistle(吹口哨) firstC. it hears the word many timesD. it knows what the word means7. According to the passage, which of these birds will most likely learn to talk?A. An old male birdB. A young male bird.C. An old female bird.D. A young female bird.8. If a bird says “hello”as soon as it hears a telephone ring, this is an example of _______.A. imitating soundsB. repeating short wordsC. soaking up new wordsD. learning by association9. What type of information is mainly given in the section under the heading “Warning: Bird Listening”?A. How birds enjoy attention.B. How birds tend to copy sounds.C. How wild birds make good pets.D. How to choose a bird that will talk.10. Read this sentence from the passage. Those sounds could be annoying noises likea baby crying, the ringing of a telephone, or the clatter of a computer printer. In this sentence, “annoying” means that the noises _______.A. bother peopleB. comfort peopleC. sound like birdsD. sound like musicC"Ok," I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. "What'sgoing on with you and your friend I?" J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp—a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she's the one on the outs, and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer up the unhelpful advice all summer long."She's fond of giving orders ," Lucy complained. "She's fat," Lucy mumbled（含糊地说）ineo he bowl "We are going upstairs," I said, my voice cold, "We are going to discuss this." And up we went.I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we'd have to have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing（嘲笑）, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred(浮现) to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word一Fat.My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn't your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well-meaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years."It's not always that easy,” I said. “Everyone's different in ter ms of how they treat food” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman's weight, she's joined the long, proud tradition of critics(批评) who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with "you're ugly" and ending with “no man would want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does"? Should I tell her I didn't cry when someone posted my picture and commented, “I'm sorry, but aren't authors(作者) who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”Does she need to know, now, that life isn't fair? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don't have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It's possible she'll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you, But I'm disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn't one of them.”Lucy nods, tears on her cheeks. “I won't say that again,” she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. We are both quiet, and I don't know if I have said the right thing. So as we sit there together, shoulder to shoulder, I pray for her to be smart. I pray(祈祷) for her to be strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her, and for the world not to deprive（剥夺）her of the things that make her who she is，for her life to be easy, and for her to have the strength to handle it when it's not. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, but I can use it in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.11. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy_______.A. often makes fun of her friend J.B. has turned against her friend J.C. gets along well with her friend J.D. has begun to work with her friend J.12. Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?A. Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.B. Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.C. Because she is really surprised at Lucy's impoliteness.D. Because she decides to tell Lucy a story of her own.13. What does the writer want to tell her daughter?A. It is not easy to take the doctors' advice to eat less.B. People shouldn't complain because life is unfair.C. She herself was once laughed at for her appearance.D. People shouldn't be blamed for their appearance.14. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.A. Lucy was deeply moved by her mother's prayerB. a mother's prayer will shape her daughter's attitude towards lifeC. the writer allows her daughter to use the F word in her headD. the writer hopes her daughter will never have weight trouble15.
