When I was about 12 I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by

week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn't a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on. I put up with her as long as I could. At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears.

He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?"

True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?

"Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."

I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being skinny), but a good number I could - and suddenly wanted to - change.

For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.

"That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you've got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you'll know it. You'll find that it will echo inside you."

Daddy's advice bas returned to me at many important moments.

What did the girl's enemy like to do?

A.Talking with her.

B.Pointing out her weak points.

C.Reporting to the teacher.

D.Quarrelling with her.

I was 14 when Mr. Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Hear, Okla. The old farme
r lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass. It was the first time I was actually paid for work -- about 12 cents an hour, not bad when you consider it was 1939 ,a time when there was little business activity.

Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a baby cow was being born.

One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft, sandy soil of the melon (瓜) field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.

Mr. Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn't long before a man from a nearby village, who had a terrible reputation (名声) for fighting and stealing, showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry.

Calmly Mr. Ingram said, "Well, I see you want to buy some watermelons."

There was a long silence before the man answered," Yeah, I guess so. What are you getting for them?"

"Twenty-five cents each."

"Well, I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here."

It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an unpleasant, perhaps unfortunate, incident had been prevented. After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me," Son, if you don't for give (原谅) your enemies, you're going to run out of friends. "

Mr. Ingram died a few years later, but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.

Which of the following best explains "ended up" as is used in the passage?

A.enjoyed

B.finished

C.got into

D.went on

Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing.They study all their lives in search of it.Still others think that if they have power, they will find this thing.They keep telling themselves: when I am a boss, I will no longer have to search for this thing. What is it that everyone wants more than anything else? What is it that all of us keep working and striving for each day? It is happiness. Happiness is a strange thing.It does not mean the same to all men.What will make one man happy may not make another man happy.Some men say that happiness comes from helping others; other men say that happiness comes from making life more pleasant for everyone.What do you mean when you say "That makes me happy"?

"Some people try to get it by making money." The underlined "it" means __. A.happiness B.the preceding sentence C.money D.such things as house, farms and cars
