What are you waiting for? Live life to the fullest. We are not promised tomorrow, so enjoy today.

We believe that life will be    1   after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are discouraged that the kids aren’t    2   enough and we’ll be more pleased when they are. After that, we’re discouraged that we have teenagers to   3   . We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our   4   will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we have our    5   house, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire, when we win the lottery(彩票).

The    6   is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now,   7   ?Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be    8  

right now.

So,   9   every moment that you have. Recognize that each    10   you take is a gift and be    11   . Remember that time waits for no one. So stop    12   until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you    13   the weight, until you have kids, until your kids    14   the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get    15   , until you get divorced(離婚), until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is    16   , until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you’ve had a drink, until you

    17   , until you are born again—to decide, that there is    18   better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a(n)    19   , not a purpose. So, work like you don’t need    20   , love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.

閱讀理解

　　A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck．One of the pots had a crack(裂縫)in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full．

　　This went on daily．The perfect pot was proud of its accomplishment．Of course, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection．After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream．

　　“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologise to you．”

　　“Why?”asked the bearer．“What are you ashamed of?”

　　“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back．And you do no get full value for y our efforts”the pot explained．

　　The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path．”

　　As they went up the hill, the cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it a little．

　　The bearer said,“Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?”That is because I have known about you, and I took advantage of it．I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walked back from the stream, you have watered them．For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table．“Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house．”

科目：高中英語 來源：浙江省高考真題 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀理解
     As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mill carrier, and
on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure:
There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad
did.
     In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when 1 was a boy it was such a fun to
stick y our finger 'through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
     On Dad' s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least
one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years
of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every
one. " One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind.
Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
     Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take
these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs. " Mailboxes might be buried in the
snow, or broken, or lying on the groom:. bat the mail was always delivered On cold days Dad might find
one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no
stamps, so she left a few button on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One
businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the
amount came to 8 32,000.
     A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death,  the
mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't
the case.
     As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was
around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green
and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
     I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank
Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began
to tell stories.
     At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. " What are we going to do about the letters
this Christmas?" he asked.
     "The letters?"
     'I guess you never knew. "
     "Knew what?"
     " Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red
boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year. "
     I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in
our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the
people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were
that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
     For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.

2. The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that_____.
