(10 points)One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 1 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 2 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 3 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 4 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 5 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 6 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 7 to deal with was that the day before the 8 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 9 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 10 . It wasnt until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 11 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she leamed to appreciate life rather than to 12 everthing so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 13 as well.Perhaps most of us arent as extreme at fault-finding, 14 when were honest, we can be sharply 15 of the world. Im not suggesting you 16 problems, or that you pretend things are 17 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are - 18 most of the time, and especially when its not a really big 19 .Train yourself to “bite your tongue”, and with a little 20 , youll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, youll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.1、Alonely Bquiet Cgreat Duneasy2、Aanswered Breceived Cexpected Drejected3、Athreatened Binterrupted Cspoiled Dbothered4、Aanything Beverything Cnothing Dsomething5、Aboring Bcaring Cinteresting Dsurprising6、Ameasure Bplan Cattitude Dexplanation7、Aurgent Bunnecessary Ccertain Dimpossible8、Aoccasion Bevent Caccident Dadventure9、Amemory Bnotice Cevidence Dchoice10、Ahear Bcontribute Cexpress Dadmit11、Aafraid of Baware of Ccurious about Dconfused about12、Adiscuss Brealize Csettle Djudge13、Afamily Bcareer Clife Deducation14、Aso Bor Cbut Dfor15、Aproud Bsure Chopeful Dcritical16、Aface Bignore Csolve Dcreate17、Ararer Bstranger Cbetter Dworse18、Aat least Bat last Cby far Dso far19、Atask Bdeal Cresult Dduty20、Apractice Bspeech Crest DpitySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

There are ups and downs and unexpected turns. Abuse or neglect by adult can make the ride even rougher. But being bullied(欺凌) by another child can leave especially lasting scars.

Indeed bullied kids might be worse off than those who had suffered physical abuse or neglect, the study found.Dieter Wolke works at the University of Warwick in England. Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment, this psychologist says. Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse, neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.Wolkes team wanted to better understand how bullyings long-term effects compare to those due to maltreatment.

Among kids who had been maltreated by adults, 17 percent later suffered mental health problems. That was less than half the rate seen in people who had been bullied as school kids.In the U. K. group, the difference was less spectacular. Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later, compared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated.But however you look at it, the finding are
