Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important  36  : giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you  37  money.

If an accident takes place, the  41  of which I think the local police could use, I  42  him up and tell him about it, though I am not in   43  here. One discovery I made about this world is to give  44  getting something back, though the  45  often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important  46  letter to my home, though it was   47  to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of   48  . More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was  49  . I was told at the window that there were  50  boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long  51  list. As I was about to  52  , the postmaster appeared in the   53  .“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office  54  we make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get  55  but complaints（投訴）.”

36 本句句意為：像很多人一樣，我生來就認(rèn)為生活就是獲得，直到三十多歲的時(shí)候才發(fā)現(xiàn)，放棄或給予也會使得生活如此精彩。再者，后文也提到了這種發(fā)現(xiàn)。
37 你缺錢也無須擔(dān)心，因?yàn)樯畈⒉恢皇且晃兜乃魅　?br />38 下文列舉的事例都是作者生活中經(jīng)歷的事情。
39 本句主語為 an idea。主意在某人腦海中閃現(xiàn)用flash 。happen to …發(fā)生在某人身上；stick to堅(jiān)持; lead to導(dǎo)致，其賓語一般不為人。
40 根據(jù)前文提到的neighborhood store可知答案。
41  story故事，事情。出現(xiàn)事故，警察應(yīng)了解事情的經(jīng)過真相。damage 破壞；challenge 挑戰(zhàn)；material物質(zhì)，材料。
42 根據(jù)后文tell him about it 可知作者是打電話告訴警察事情的經(jīng)過。
43 作者雖然不負(fù)責(zé)這里的事情，但他卻主動幫助警察了解事故經(jīng)過。
44 上文列舉的事例都表明作者想主動幫助別人而不希望得到什么。
45  return回報(bào)。根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞though和下文所列舉的事例表明，幫助別人有時(shí)候在不經(jīng)意時(shí)也會得到回報(bào)。
46 根據(jù)下文的postmaster說的話中可知答案。
47 address此處為動詞，注明……的地址。信上標(biāo)明收信人的地址是我辦公室的地址，但郵遞員卻把它送到了我的家里。
48  appreciation欣賞，贊賞。郵遞員把本來該送到辦公室的信送到家里，人們通常只會責(zé)備他們，而作者卻與此相反，非但沒有責(zé)備，而是寫了一封表揚(yáng)信。他也因此得到了回報(bào)。
49 本句為定語從句，橫線上所缺動詞的賓語為new business 。deal 為不及物動詞，故排除。作者開辦了一項(xiàng)新的業(yè)務(wù)。
50 結(jié)合上下文可知，郵局里已沒有剩余的郵箱，但作者原來無意的付出卻使得郵遞員愿意為他做一個(gè)。
51 郵局里沒有剩余的郵箱，要想安裝郵箱，只能等到有的時(shí)候。
52 作者被告知已沒有郵箱，只好離開。
53 根據(jù)故事發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)，可排除C，D。另外，根據(jù)介詞in排除A項(xiàng)。作者正要離開，郵遞員在門口攔住了他。
54 本句句意為在這個(gè)郵局里，你應(yīng)該得到一個(gè)郵箱，即便是我們給你做一個(gè)。in case以防; now that既然,因?yàn)�；as if 好像。
55 本題考查not …but…結(jié)構(gòu)。不是………而是……。郵遞員從顧客那里一般不會得到任何東西，只有抱怨

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
小題1:How did the author get to know America?
A． From her relatives.B． From her mother.
C． From books and pictures.D． From radio programs.
小題2:Upon leaving for America the author felt_______.
A．confusedB．excited
C．worriedD． amazed
小題3:For the first two years in New York, the author _________.
A．often lost her wayB．did not think about her future
C．studied in three different schoolsD．got on well with her stepfather
小題4:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
A．She worked as a translator.
B．She attended a lot of job interviews.
C．She paid telephone bills for her family.
D．She helped her family with her English.
小題5:The author believes that______.
A．her future will be free from troubles
B．it is difficult to learn to become patient
C．there are more good things than bad things
D．good things will happen if one keeps trying
