My friend Tim was one of five children. His father was an alcoholic and died very young, and his mother was unable to support the family. Unfortunately, the children were separated and placed in foster homes(收养家庭).
Tim dropped out of school and did nothing to further himself. He eventually went through a divorce. Tim’s brother, although experiencing the same childhood, educated himself and got a good job. He has a happy family and a wonderful home.
Both brothers gave a similar answer when asked why their lives turned out the way they did. They said, “You’d turn out this way too if you had a childhood like mine.” Neither of the brothers could change his past, but one of them adjusted(调整) his sail.
It doesn’t take much to find an excuse whether that is our family background, our lack of education, or that we live in the wrong city, or do not know the right people. Each one of these excuses has a solution. However, if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around, then you won’t be able to change your life for the better.
If you really desire to turn your life to a new course, to set your sail to a different port, it is a matter of choice. If you choose to move forward, the easiest way is to find a solution to your today’s situation. Solutions are there if you want to go after them. Sure, it may take some hard work, or the willingness to take a risk. But if you do not, then you will never have a different or happy life. Do not limit yourself by finding an excuse; only limit yourself by refusing to have an excuse.

Raising children has traditionally been a mother’s role. People think that kids have to be with mothers mostly, but the modern sociology says when a father is not involved in life, it leads to problems. Children abandoned or ignored by their fathers do not succeed as well as children in families where both parents are involved.
At the River House in Maryland, a church community is running a program called the Men’s Retreat with the purpose of helping men become better fathers. Here fathers can get parental advice. The program is also open to children who don’t have fathers in their lives. For them, the program is an opportunity to interact(互动) with male role models.
Businessman Pavel says though the Men’s Retreat may take up some of his time to earn money, it has been a good opportunity to spend quality time with his son. He has realized that for boys, father is the first teacher. And the gathering is also a great chance to think about how to improve the relationship with his wife.
Program organizer Victor Visotski notes that the son is going along his father’s path an learns from him. The father’s role in a daughter’s life is as important as that in his son’s life. A father for a daughter is a hero and he is the first man she admires. It is important that the father creates a family atmosphere filled with love, because the daughter observes the behavior of her father closely. Mr. Visotski says a father must take his duties as a parent as seriously as his career. Setting aside quality time to spend with his child is a good start.
8. We can learn from the modern sociology that ____ .
A. a father’s role in children’s life is important.
B. a father can teach children more than a mother
C. raising children should be a father’s responsibility
D. children having no fathers are less likely to succeed
9. Which of the following is TRUE about the Men’s Retreat?
A. It is for kids who are abandoned.
B. It aims to help men relax after work.
C. Children are not allowed to attend it.
D. It shows men how to act as fathers well.
10. What does Pavel think of the Men’s Retreat?
A. It is a waste of time and money.
B. It can help him find a new job at school.
C. It is a good chance for family gathering.
D. It helps him become a good father and husband.
11. According to Victor Visotski, _____ .
A. a father has little influence on his daughter
B. a daughter usually looks down upon her father
C. fathers must learn to balance parenting and work
D. fathers should play the main role in raising children
D
My shoe lesson number one.
Back in my days as a salesman, I was on my way to deliver a speech in Newfoundland. Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had left my dress shoes at home. I was wearing running shoes for an important speech.
I knew I could buy a new pair when I land. Too late; the stores were already closed. What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled for 9:00 . Ninety seconds later, however, my cold sweat has been replaced with a single idea.
The next morning, I began my speech, ?You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today. Well, ite’s about this request here. When I’m done speaking, I’ll be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too.” My little “goof-up” became a clever demonstration(示范) of action speaking louder than words.
My shoe lesson number two.
My brother was getting married. We had just witnessed the signing of the papers at their house, and they were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wife’s shoes broke. So off to the nearest shoe store we flew. We knew they would wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait.
That day, my wife performed a miracle(奇迹）that no other woman has done before or since. She went into the store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of shoes.
Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, contrary to popular belief, the shoe does not make the man/woman. But the lack of shoes can surely build character.
12. Upon thinking of his shoes on the plane, the author felt________
A. proud B. delighted C. panicky D. encouraged
13. What does the underlined part 揼oof-up?probably mean?wo________
A. Image B. Mistake C. Success D. Present
14. Before entering the shoe store, the author thought it _________
A. strange to be in a dilemma for a second time
B. a great pity to have to miss to his brother’s wedding
C. important to test the quality of a new pair of shoes
D. unlikely for his wife to finish shopping in a short time
15. What’s the message the author conveys in the text?_________
A. Emergencies can help shape our character.
B. You can never judge a person by his looks.
C. It’s hard to change our character overnight.
D. Never buy shoes without trying them on first.
