Years ago, I was so confident, and so naive( 幼 稚 的 ). I was so sure that I was right and
everyone else was wrong.
Unfortunately I was lucky and got successful, so that kept me blind to my weak points. I sold
my company, felt ready to do something new, and started to learn. But the more I learned, the more I
realized how little I knew and how lucky I had been.
I’d start to make things, but then saw how stupid I was, so I stpped. I lost all confidence. I spent
a few years completely stuck.
Finally, some new ideas helped:
Learning without doing is wasted. If I don’t use what I learn, then it is pointless! How terrible
to waste hundreds of hours spent learning, and not turn them into action. Like throwing good food in
the trash: it’s wrong.
This isn’t about me. How I feel in this moment doesn’t matter－it will pass. Nobody is judging
me, because nobody is thinking of me. They are just looking for things to improve their own life.
The public me is not the real me anyway, so if they judge my public personality, that’s fine.
The work is the point, and my work is special. If I can do something that people find useful,
then I should. It doesn’t matter if it’s a masterpiece or not, as long as I enjoy it.
So I’m glad my old confidence is gone. Now I aim(以……为目标)to make my work my little
contribution to the world－just special and useful.
4. I lost all my confidence when______
A.I got successful in my career. B. I Learned more than before.C.I sold my company. D.I realized I knew little.
5. According to the passage, the author prefer______
A. learning by using. B. learning is wasting time.
C. learning by spending hours. D. learning is pointless.
6. Why the author think his work is special?
A. Because he is a unique person in his company.
B. Because he can gain confidence by helping others.
C. Because his aim is to be special in the world.
D. Because his old confidence is gone.

Xiao Yu is already quite the traveler, having been to Russia a couple of times. She is just 4
years old. However, Yu is no normal tourist, her visits to the Black Sea coastal resort of Sochi being
about much more than rest and recreation, for Yu is autistic(自闭的). And in Sochi she has had
encounters(遇见)with a very special kind of specialist(专科医生). That specialist -more exactly two
of them -is a dolphin, contact with which is said to be beneficial to children like Yu.
Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social communication. In
some severe cases autistic children may have trouble learning to speak or make eye contact.
However, many children with autism are able to live normal lives. With the help of professional
doctors, the children played games with the dolphins and receive treatment.

benefits, even if it is argued that the communicative experience for the children can be of no harm,
and animal welfare activists object to the way animals are forced into their role as therapists(治疗师).
However, even if Yu's mother is aware of such objections, she talks enthusiastically of the progress
she thinks Yu has made since first traveling to Sochi.
That program, in which Chinese children with autism visit Sochi to receive dolphin-assisted
treatment, is supported by the government of Sochi and the China Foundation for Disabled Persons.
It was first held last October and again in mid-June to July. More than 10 children from China have
now visited Sochi to receive dolphin-assisted treatment and have had very positive results, says
Anatoly Pakhomov, the mayor of Sochi.
"We hope the Sochi government and China Foundation for Disabled Persons can establish a more stable long-term partnership, and we will continue to provide the necessary assistance and
support," Pakhomov said.

Talking to children about disasters
Natural disasters are terrible events. They are difficult for adults and children. But adults should
not be afraid to talk to children about natural disasters. 11 But talking can help children feel
safer and less afraid of the future. Here are five things adults can do when children show fear of
natural disasters.
First, adults should be willing to talk with children. When children are allowed to talk about
their fears, they feel safer. Sometimes, the best thing an adult can do is just listen. 12
Second, 13 When answering their questions, it is best to give short, honest answers. If
you do not know the answer, you can be honest and say that you do not know.
Third, it is important to wait until a child is ready to talk about a natural disaster. Adults should
not force children to talk.
Fourth, help children feel safe. 14 One way is very simple: adults can tell frightened
children that they love them. It is also important for children to do the same things they do every day. Simple things like going to school and eating dinner can help children feel normal.
Fifth, use activities to help children communicate their fears. Heshani was 13 when the Indian
Ocean tsunami(海啸) ruined her house in SriLanka. One year later, she was still living under the
shadow(阴影) of the natural disaster. She did not like to visit her ruined house. And she did not want
to talk about the problems her family had. However, she loved to write. 15 Writing poems was
a way for her to share her fears since she did not like to talk about them.
A. let children ask questions.
B. There are many ways to do this.
C. Talking cannot stop natural disasters from happening.
D. learning is of great importance to adults.
E. We should feel safe first.
F. Whatever the fear is, it is important to listen and be patient with the child.
G. And she often shared her feelings about the tsunami in her poems.

第二节读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。I was a single mother of four children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always valuable,
but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs. I always tell myself to
be brave and strong, just for my four children. I hope all my efforts would be worthwhile, as long as
my children can grow up healthily. It was Christmastime. We drove downtown to see the Christmas
lights, and enjoyed a special dinner, but the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas
shopping at the mall. This was a tradition of my family, so they all looked forward to the coming of
the season. They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted
for Christmas.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each other of the four kids a twenty-dollar
bill and asked them to search for gifts. Then everyone scattered(分散开) with the bill. I sat at a table
in a cafe waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence. It must be a happy day.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was excited about Christmas, laughing and asking each
other about what they had bought. I noted Ginger, my younger daughter had only one small and flat
bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars－
fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I had given her? I was so angry.
After getting home, I called her into my bedroom and closed the door. I couldn’t hold back my anger
and shouted at her, “What about the rest of the money? No one would be convinced all these candies
are worth 20 dollars. What do you want to do with the rest of the money?”
