4．"BANG!"the door caused a reverberation （回聲）．It was just standing there，with father standing on one side，and I on the other side．
    We were both in great anger．"Never set foot in this house again!"stormed father．With tears welling up in my eyes，I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．
   The street lights were shining，causing a rather sad feeling．I wandered aimlessly．
     A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and carefree．
      But now …I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always put his opinions and codes （模式）of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong，he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
    I wandered the streets，without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets，until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still on．
      I thought to myself："Is father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me？"
    In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can't stand his outrageous（蠻橫的）words："I can't throw you away，let alone these old papers？"
      All the lights were off except father's．
     Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn't know how to express himself．After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
     This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
    The light was still on．"Am I wrong？"I whispered，maybe…With the key in hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love-it is second to none．

20．Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant．The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude．He was a natural motivator．If an employee was having a bad day，Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation．
Seeing this style really made me curious，so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him，"I don't get it!You can't be a positive person all of the time．How do you do it？"Jerry replied，"Each morning I wake up and say to myself，‘Jerry，you have two choices today．You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．'I choose to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens，I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining，I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．The bottom line：It's your choice how you live life．"I reflected on what Jerry said．Later，I left the restaurant industry to start my own business．We lost touch，but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life．
Several years later，I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business：he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers．While trying to open the safe，he forgot the password，nervous．The robbers panicked and shot him．Luckily，Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital．After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care，Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片） of the bullets still in his body．
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was，he replied，"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door，"Jerry replied．"Then，as I lay on the floor，I remembered that I had two choices：I could choose to live，or I could choose to die．I chose to live．""Weren't you scared？Did you lose consciousness？"I asked．Jerry continued，"The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses，I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．"
"What did you do？"I asked．"Well，there was a big，strong nurse shouting questions at me，"said Jerry．"She asked if I was allergic （過敏的）to anything．"Yes，"I replied．The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled，"Bullets!"Over their laughter，I told them．"I am choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am alive，not dead．"
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors，but also because of his amazing attitude．I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully．

19．When Julio Diaz stepped off the subway after work one night，he was simply planning to go to his favorite local diner for a meal．But when a teenage boy approached him with a knife，Diaz knew the evening was about to take a more dramatic（巨大而突然的） turn．
The young man demanded Diaz's wallet，and Diaz passed it over without objection（異議）．But just as he turned to walk away，Diaz called，"Hey，wait a minute．You forgot something．"
The young man turned around，surprised．
"If you're going to rob people for the rest of the night，you might as well take my coat to keep warm．"
The teenager looked at Diaz in disbelief，and asked why he would do such a thing．Diaz replied，"If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars，I guess you must really need the money．"He said he was heading out for dinner，and that he would be happy to take someone with him．
The young man decided to take Diaz up on his offer．As they were sitting at the table，the manager，dishwashers and waiters all stopped over to say hello to Diaz，and the young man was amazed at his popularity．
"Haven't you been taught that you should be nice to everybody？"Diaz asked him．
"Yeah，but I didn't think people actually behaved that way，"the teenager replied．Thanks to Diaz，he was beginning to see that kindness wasn't so strange，after all．
When the bill came，Diaz told the teen that he'd have to get the check．After all，he still had Diaz's wallet．
But the teenager put the wallet on the table without a moment's thought，and Diaz treated him to dinner．Diaz also gave the would-be robber a﹩20 bill-in exchange for his knife．"I figure，you know，if you treat people right，you can only hope that they treat you right，"Diaz said．

18．Ellen Parker was worried about her health．She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs．She was soon out of breath．
"I suppose I had better go to the doctor，"she thought．
She went to the doctor and told him her problem．
"I'm not surprised at all，"he said．"It's obvious what your problem is．"
He examined her and then gave her some advice．
"If you don't do what I say，Mrs．Parker，"he said，"you will have a heart attack．It could kill you．"
Ellen Parker was very worried as she left the doctor's．She knew that she had to take his advice but it would not be easy and it would take time．
The next day she went shopping．The first shop she went into was a butcher's shop （肉鋪）．
"I'd like ten pounds of steak （牛排），please，"she said．
"Certainly，madam，"the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak．He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and put it on the scale （天平）．

"Oh，I don't want to buy the meat，"Mrs．Parker said．
"If you don't want to buy it，"the butcher replied angrily，"why did you ask me to get it for you？"

17．On May 23，1989，Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad，New Mexico．She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks．Stefania was in a research program，and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms．In this experiment Stefania had spent 130days in a cave，30feet in depth．
During her time in the cave，Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice．Her living place had been very comfortable，but there had been nothing to tell her the time．She'd had no clocks or watches，no television or radio．There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃．
The results were very interesting．Stefania had been in the cave for over four months，but she thought she had been there for only two．Her body clock had changed．She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day．She had stayed awake for 20-25hours and then had slept for 10hours．She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result!She had also become rather depressed．
How had she spent her time in the cave？As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests．She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer．This computer had been specially programmed for the project．Whenever she was free，she'd played cards，read books and listened to music．She'd also learned French from tapes．
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature．For example，the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep．However，people are affected in different ways．Some people wake up naturally at 5：00am，but others don't start to wake up till 9：00or 10：00am．This affects the whole daily rhythm．As a result，the early risers are at their best in the late morning．The late risers，on the other hand，are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

A．she needed to record her life

C．she wanted to experience loneliness

16．I'm lying on my back in my grandfather's orchard （果園），looking up at the branches above me．It is one of the last days of summer．Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler．Some kinds of apples are already ripe（成熟的）．Others will be ready to pick soon．I think of my grandmother's apple pie，and how I used to make it with her．She died last year，before the apple harvest，and I have not had her pie ever since．I really miss her．I hear bees busily humming about，visiting the late summer flowers．The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep．
The sky is as blue as my grandfather's eyes．Above me，big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind．School starts in another week，and time seems to have slowed down．
"Sophie!"calls my grandfather．"Is that you？"I stand up，take his hand，and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard．We talk about apples，and bees，and Grandma．He tells me that he misses her too．
He puts his rough，brown farmer's hand around my shoulder and pulls me close．"You know，Sophie，"he says，"I spent the morning in the attic（閣樓），and you'll never guess what I found．It's the recipe（烹飪法） for Grandma's apple pie．I used to help her make it sometimes．I can't do it all alone，but you used to help her too．Maybe between the two of us，we can work it out．Want to try？"
"But it won't be the same without Grandma，"I tell him．
"That's true，"he says，"but nothing is the same without Grandma．Still，I don't think that she would want us never to have another apple pie．What do you say？"I nod yes，and we walk towards home…towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen，making Grandma's famous apple pie．

15．"Mom，I can't do this．"My teenage son Bret stood in front of me with his hands full of papers．
"Can't do what？"I asked while preparing supper．
"All these!"he waved his hands up and down．"There's no way I can do everything my teachers are asking me to do．"
I stopped what I was doing and turned to face him．I had never seen him so upset．He was my jovial son．He made good grades in school and nothing ever seemed to bother him．As I studied his face，I could see his eyes filled with tears．
Walking over to the kitchen table，I sat down and asked him to join me．
"Show me what you have to do．"
Bret sat down in a chair and dropped the papers in front of him．
"Mr．Jones，my chemistry teacher，wants me to make a project for the Science Fair．"
"Okay，And what else？"
"I have an algebra test next week，and that will be one-third of our grade this school term!"
"And I have to write an English essay．And midterms are the next week!I need to study for them and I have to get help with Spanish．There's no way I can do everything!"
His hands shook as he picked up each assignment．It broke my heart to see him so stressed out．I wanted to help him，yet I couldn't do the work for him．I looked at Bret and said．"You don't have to do everything at once．You can do one at a time．Let's make a list of what you need to do．"
So，one by one，we listed each item．Then we put the due date next to the item．Next we separated the items into parts．For instance，the chemistry project needed supplies．So we put a deadline on getting the supplies．He had a friend who could help him with Spanish，so we had to put that time in．During the process，I saw my son visibly relax．When we finished with the list，I asked，"Do you think you can do this now？"
He smiled and I saw his confidence return．"Sure!Thanks，Mom!"
There is a saying that asks，"How do you eat an elephant？"The answer is，"One bite at a time．"
