It was my first time visiting the United States. Before1.(leave) for Washington D.C．, I downloaded some introductions about some tourist2.(attract) in the city. Therefore I knew something about this city before the trip. A lot of things happened during my trip to Washington D.C. However, 3.impressed me most is the International Spy Museum, which I visited on the 4.(three) day of the trip.
In my spare time, I often watched movies about spies with my parents because I was5. (extreme) interested in spies. I acquired6.good knowledge of that after I read the descriptions in the museum. I learned that spies usually hid important letters in an umbrella, in a shoe, or even in a pair of ordinary7.(glass).When they thought they were probably found out, they could have their appearances8.(change) in a few minutes. They put on fake hair, eyes or teeth. If they had an emergency, they even changed a smaller pair of shoes to change their walking styles in order not to9.(recognize).
10.conclusion, it was a nice trip. I had a good time in Washington D.C.. I will remember this trip forever.
Until I was 13, I assumed I was just like everyone else. But one day I read a piece of paper in my dad’s briefcase that _______ everything. That’s when I saw the words: “Simone is said to have Asperger syndrome (自闭症).”
I screamed at my dad, “Tell me what it is!” He _______ that I have a mild form of brain disorders, which was a problem that shapes the way I interact with other people. I wasn’t sure exactly what he _______ , but it didn’t matter. I just wanted to try to _______ my shock and go back to the way things were before I knew.
But even though I wouldn’t _______ accept the fact, Asperger’s (Asperger syndrome) still destroyed my confidence and made me _______. I felt like an outcast(被抛弃者) —not just because Asperger’s made it hard for me to make friends, but because now I had this_______. I just wanted to be like everyone else. _______, at 16, I said to myself, “Enough! You can’t run and hide from it, girl. Just face it.”
It’s funny, the first time I thought something was _______ was not because of what I couldn’t do—it was because of what I could do. In the sixth grade, while other kids were
__________ with spelling, I was like a human spell-checker! I’ve also had a photographic memory, and what I call my “super powers”—extrasensory hearing and acute __________I can __________ phone numbers people dial just by the sound the buttons make when pressed or
__________ hear one incorrect note in an entire symphony! And I can __________ pay attention to two things at once.
Don’t get me wrong. Asperger’s can be very confusing. For years I felt like a butterfly
__________ in its cocoon (茧），waiting to fly. It took years of work with a psychologist to get over the __________ of making friends.
I’m not going to let Asperger’s create __________ for me. That’ why I am happy to have found out about and faced my __________. Asperger’s is a metaphor (象征) for life: We all have
__________, but the key is to be able to have the __________ to face what’s bad about them and still find what’s good.375

Why do many people take vacations frequently? We need to take time out from work to relax, and just be ourselves.1.We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us—at least for a few weeks each year—and just have fun. This might be something as simple as reading a good book in front of a warm fireplace through to traveling to the most interesting places on our planet. Whatever we fancy doing is worth taking time out for.As we know, workplace stress is on the rise.2.These include disease, depression and even death. We all seem to be running from one place to the next, never finding out where we want to go in the first place. I intend to break that trend in the coming days.3.I will sleep late, write, watch movies, drink the occasional glass of wine, and eat to my heart's content, ignoring calorie counting. My plan is to just enjoy the fleeting(飞逝的) moments of being alive.4.Spend your next vacation the way you want; Do what will restore your mental health. You're very valuable to the people who are close to you, and to those who depend on it. Like it or not, we are all interdependent（互相依存的）in this great life of ours. There's no doubt that you are valuable. Just remember that the next time you look at a mirror and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that there will never be anyone like you ever on this earth again.5.1you have to do is just ask yourself what you want to do.
A.Draw up a detailed plan so that you can see more.
B.With it come many health problems.
C.When you finally get home you'll be greatly refreshed.
D.Life is not all about work, or at least it shouldn't be.
E.And only you know how to take a vacation in your way.
F.I challenge each one of you to do the same.
G.For my next holiday, I will do all the things that I love doing.
A few years back I worked in a university building that also housed a department full of psychologists, all of whom seemed to see us as perfect guinea pigs（豚鼠） for their latest theories. If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one, I'd cast a careful glance and ask “Why?” before grabbing the apple pie.
So one day, when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to “Think about five things for which you're grateful every day for a week!”, my response was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.
I wandered into the office of Heidi Zetzer, the director of our school's Psychological Services Clinic.“What's with the gratitude thing?”I asked. You don't ask an academic question－even a simple one unless you're prepared for a long answer. Heidi came alive, and I sat down. That's when I first heard the term “positive psychology”. The gratitude thing, as I had called it, was but one small and simple element of the practice. “Kind of like training the brain to focus on joy,” my friend Heidi explained. “It's only a week,” she urged. “Try it.” I did. And guess what? It worked.
Every day for a week, I found five distinct things for which I was thankful. They had to be different every day. I couldn't get away with just being grateful for my wonderful husband. But I could, suggested Collie Conoley, another positive psychologist, express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day. He's a great cook. He always puts our family first.
Life will never be perfect. I still see new stories that annoy me. The traffic in my city is maddening. I wish I could speed up my recovery. But with just one simple exercise, I'm rediscovering the peace of that old saying: accepting the things I can't change, working without complaint to change what I can, and being wise enough to know the difference.
And all it took was a little gratitude.
1.What's the author's attitude toward the student with desserts?

2.Why was the author doubtful about the instructions?
A.Because she thought it wasn't worth the effort.
B.Because she didn't like expressing thanks often.
C.Because she needed to ask her friend to do it first.
D.Because she could do five things every day easily.
3.What does Collie Conoley suggest the author should do?
A.Be grateful to her wonderful husband.
B.Be thankful for things but not people.
C.Be a great cook and put her family first.
D.Be specific about what she's thankful for.
Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

2.What makes good friends?
