完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift, it was happiness.
One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my because of its high speed.
Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn’t get my arms back even though I every day.
However, it’s easier than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness . I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes ; they don’t have a mobile phone but have, and so on. But I only life. I was lucky to realize from an accident : It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have . We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, “My whole life would improve I have a new car.” But when you get the car and what ? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.
Happiness depends on what we have! It’s in our heart. It’s a state of mind, even though you own the whole world, you may still feel .Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.

Winter is cold, with piles of snow, When rain falls and no trees grow. For kids it’s the snow they desire, And cups of cocoa before the fire. When winter is gone, the grass grows, Roses and trees, light wind blows The bees are buzzing, the birds are singing, Sheep are grazing and cow bells are ringing. And then the sun starts to shine too brightly, It is so hot that fans are put on nightly. And then it’s off to the beach or pool, Where people swim about just to keep cool. All the leaves on the trees turn golden-brown, And when on the ground make a big sound. In autumn a lot of money he spends, For clearing leaves on the backyards. Each season has its own goods and its bads, But since they are different I am glad. |

Black Friday
Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.
Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts (打折). Some items (商品)like TVs and cloths are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.
Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there are problem. The biggest one is that there are not enough low-priced items. Each store may only have a few. These items are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.
The situation makes people worried. Some Black Friday events have been crazy. There have been fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have even been hurt by large crowds. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan to go, you will expect large crowds and a bit of pushing.
So where does the name “Black Friday” come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day “Big Friday”. It did not stick. The name “Black Friday” continued to spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.
Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday events. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK, Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Mexico, stores offer a weekend of discounts every year. They call it “El Buen Fin”, which means “the good weekend” in Spanish. I guess people everywhere like to buy things on sale.
Is Black Friday the start of the holiday shopping season?
What is the biggest problem with Black Friday?
How long may people have to wait before a store opens?
Where was the name “Black Friday” first used in the 1950s?
Why do people like going shopping on Black Friday?

Minoru Yamasaki was a well-known American architect (建筑师). He was born in 1912 in Seattle, Washington. His parents came from Japan. Minoru went to college to study architecture. Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college. Often he worked from four o'clock in the morning until midnight. He slept in a room with 100 other men. Later in life, Yamasaki remembered these times and was always good to his workers.
Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw. Yamasaki used a new design for the buildings. These buildings are now the Century Plaza Hotel, and Tower in Los Angeles, California.
Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He always designed buildings to please people. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.
Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. It is very famous.
In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸弹爆炸) in the World Trade Center. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.
Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.
Minoru Yamasaki died in 1986. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.
