24、   It was a fine spring day with beautiful flowers in the park.  A young man arrived early and waited for his girlfriend under a big tree. But he was so short-tempered(脾气暴躁的) that he wasn't in the mood to enjoy the view.

Suddenly, an angel appeared. “Put this button(纽扣)  onto your clothes. If you don't want to wait, just turn the button to the right. You can skip over any time period if you want to. "

The man happily held the button and turned it softly. Oh! How amazing! His girlfriend appeared before him and was gently smiling to him! How I wish our wedding ceremony could be held now ! He turned the button once again. A great wedding appeared in front of him, the beautiful bride was standing next to him and the band was playing cheerful music. He lost himself in it deeply.

The desires in his heart kept coming out : I also want a big house with a garden in the front. He turned the button. Then he wished for children. All of a sudden, a group of lovely children were playing happily in the huge living room. Again, he jumped at the chance to turn the button to the right.

How time flew. Before he could see beautiful flowers in the garden, everything had been covered in deep snow. Looking at himself again, he found his hair was totally white. He had already become so old.

He felt so sad. He would rather enjoy life step by step than watch it go by in such a hurry. He quickly turned the button to the left.  Once again, he was waiting for his lovely girlfriend under that big tree.

26、Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love never means that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be glad it grows in yours.

It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not depend on one's appearance, it may not be true. Do not depend on wealth, even that disappears slowly. Depend on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug(拥抱) them.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials(尝试) to make you strong, enough sadness to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest people do not necessarily give the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tired, for only they can enjoy the importance of people who have touched their lives.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

【1】If you put yourself in another's position, ___________.

A. you should depend on wealth

B. you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other people

C. you will do what you want to do however dangerous it is to people

D. you should depend on other people.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If you give someone your love, you are sure that she will give her love to you in return.

B. We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens.

C. If someone accepts your love and he doesn’t give you his love in return, you should be angry with him.

D. If it takes you an hour to love someone, you will easily forget her.

【3】In the last paragraph of the passage, the writer is actually telling us that a man in the world should be one who __________.

A. can accept the suggestions made by others

B. can live happily and forget the past

C. does good to the people and wins their respect

D. has made a lot of money for himself when he dies

27、   I was inspired by a video of a young Pakistani man. He celebrated his 22nd birthday with 22 random acts of kindness. I mentioned to my daughter Tamara that I'd like to copy the young man's idea for my upcoming 55th birthday in December. She agreed and so we decided to make it happen the next day.

We wore clumsy reindeer antlers (鹿角) to make people smile, placed cheerful stickers on the shirts of children, cleaned up a park, and passed out delicious Mexican hot chocolate to those in the park-many of whom appeared homeless.

At the end of the day, we passed out carnation flowers (康乃馨) in a retirement home after their dinner. At first, I found myself questioning my motivation and how it would be received. It turned out that the local Unity Church had a large group there at the same time singing to the people living in the home.

At first, I was surprised how almost every man enjoyed receiving a flower, not only from Tamara, but also from such an old man as me. Then, I found myself giving the women longer caring hugs. One commented that she had not been hugged like that for years. Then my heart was permanently touched when another woman told me that she had not been hugged like that by a man for five decades!

I didn't count the number of kind acts we did that day, and neither do I count that birthday as one of the good ones. Without doubt, I KNOW it was my best!

【1】How did the author decide to celebrate his birthday?

A.To go abroad for sightseeing.

B.To perform some kind acts for others.

C.To make some chocolate himself.

D.To record a piece of video about his life.

【2】What's the author's concern at the retirement home?

A.The old females there wouldn't like carnation flowers.

B.His daughter wouldn't be willing to hug the old men there.

C.People there might feel tired after the church singing.

D.People there might reject the kindness from him and Tamara.

【3】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A.Caring and thoughtful. B.Curious and generous.

C.Modest and friendly. D.Polite and careful.

28、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

In 1971, a poor young man was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. On the way, he had run out of his【1】so he had no food to eat and had to live in his car.

One morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found he had to【2】to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. He was so embarrassed(尴尬的) that his face turned red.
