On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 71 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it jumped over a fence. Chris was paralyzed(瘫痪) from the chest down, unable to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 72 with lots of unexpected challenges. We went from the “haves” to the “have-nots”. Or so we thought.
73 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of sharing difficulties. We came to learn that something wonderful could happen in a disaster(灾难). All over the world people 74 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a medical center in
Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 75 had been received and sorted.
As 76 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us comfort and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 77 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a 78 , or to the “Disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or even in bed living happily and successfully.
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so here we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 79 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 80 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you close.
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan

I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn't spend much
time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.
About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.
On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called \"Chocolate or Toys\". He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn't have a choice.
This exercise told us that sometimes we don't have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).
A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict (吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother.
\"I want a new mom,\" she cried.
\"Unluckily, you can't have one,\" the leader replied.
\"You have to accept the mother that you have.\"
This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn't choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation.

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal. 86. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was for the father and the son.

When you visit Taiwan, Green Island is a wonderful place not to be missed.
Green Island, with clear blue water around it, is an island in the Pacific Ocean, 33 kilometers east of Taitung. The old name for Green Island was Huoshandao, meaning \"fire-burning island\".

Another story goes that in the Qing Dynasty there was a fire and most of the island's trees and grass died. The coastline(海岸) of the island is only 20 kilometers long, the tallest mountain is only 281 meters high and the island is only 15 km², but it is attracting(吸引) a growing number of tourists.

I know what you're thinking: pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night's leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don't have time, others think they're “saying” calories(卡路里), still others just don't like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you're trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year's “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it's loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one
small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight-loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night's leftovers—it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it—you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
95. The word “leftovers” in paragraph I probably means .
A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone
C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit
96. What can we infer from the text?
A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.
97. According to the last paragraph, it is important to . A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you cat
C. heat up food before eating it D. cat calorie-controlled food
98. The text is written mainly for those .
A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep

An old man lived alone in a town. He wanted to dig up his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son who would have helped him was in prison.
So the old man wrote a letter to his son and said:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant potatoes in my garden this year. I'd hate to miss doing it, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to dig up a garden. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig up the garden for me if you weren't in prison.
Love, Dad
Soon the old man received a letter: Dad don't dig up the garden! That's where I buried the guns!”
At 4 a.m. the next morning some policemen showed up and dug up the whole garden without finding any guns. The old man was surprised and wrote another note to his son. He told him what had happened and asked him what to do next.
His son's reply was: Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here.”
