I was 13 that I needed to find some sort of balance.
So I created a schedule that would 14 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 15 I was only able to 16 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.
So I tried another 17 . Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week. Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I 18 a list of things I could do if I had time.

（3）How did you do it, Dad? How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years? It took me almost 20 years to have the 1 to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first 2 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a 3 that, in the past, would have started him 4 again. For a few years we were 5 to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.
“I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day,” was Dad’s 6 to my 18-year-old unasked question. “The words were a constant (经常的) 7 to me that things were 8 so hard that I could not deal with them,” Dad said.

About a month after this 12 with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one 13 for each day of the year.
It has been my 14 that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own 15 .
I 16 opened the book to November 10 to see 17 words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I was 18 when I looked at the page, and then tears of disbelief and appreciation 19 down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had 20 my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity (平静) Prayer:

    Reading comprehension. There following passage is followed by five questions, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.
    （1）
    Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
    It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
    Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

( ) 1. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him ______.
A. at birth B. both at birth and through education
C. through education D. neither at birth nor through education
( ) 2. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can .
A. never become a genius
B. exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
C. still become a genius if he should be given special education
D. not reach his intelligence limits in his life
( ) 3. In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, …” means if we.
A. pick any two persons B. choose two persons who are relatives
C. take out two different persons D. choose two persons with different intelligence
( ) 4. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _____.
A. the importance of their intelligence
B. the importance of their positions
C. the effect of environment on intelligence
D. the part that birth plays
( ) 5. The best title of this passage can be _____.
A. Surroundings B. Dependence on Environment
C. Intelligence D. Effect of Education
（2）
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves, public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct. These people should change this bad habit and condescend to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

( ) 1. People who are unhappy _______.
always consider things differently from others
usually are influenced by the results of certain things
can discover the unpleasant part of certain things
usually have a fault-finding habit
( ) 2. Which of the following best explains the sentence “By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society”?
In their opinion, society has turned sour.
What they say spoils the pleasures of society.
For them, the pleasures of society are like sour grapes.
They shut themselves up from all social gatherings.
( ) 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. We should pity all those unhappy people.
B. Those unhappy people are critical about everything.
C. Those unhappy people will get rid of their bad habit if they realize the effect it has on themselves.
D. Those unhappy people are not content with themselves.
( ) 4. Which of the following statements is .true according to the passage?
A. Those unhappy people are aware of their bad habit.
B. They are not aware of their bad habit.
C. They have already developed a bad habit before they grow up.
D. They are convinced that they are unhappy people by nature.
( ) 5. If those unhappy people don’t change their bad behavior, the advice the author offers to other people is that ______.
A. they should avoid contact with the unhappy people.
B. they should criticize their misconduct.
C. they should not be mixed up in quarrels with them.
D. they should show no respect and politeness to them.
