But when my dad 22 from the army after twenty years of service, I found myself 23 a civilian(平民的) school with twelve-year-olds who shared no similar life experience with me.

I was a stranger in a strange land. Everyone in my class had grown up together, and they had no room to 24 for a newcomer. I wore different clothes, had different thoughts, and spoke with an accent. I 25 for the first few weeks of school. I had no friends, no activities, and no 26 of a bright future. To deal with it all, I began 27 in my diary every day — stories of adventure, of old friends, of feelings that I could not speak. I wrote as if my life depended on it, as if the very next breath I took could not happen 28 I wrote down words.

One day, my teacher, Mrs. Bush, came to me and asked why I always sat there writing instead of playing with others. I told her I enjoyed writing and 29 writing to playing. She smiled at me ?and walked away. About three weeks later, Mrs. Bush gave us a writing assignment. I was 30 that I could now participate in something I knew I excelled in. That night I worked and worked on the essay. I wrote with great 31 . It was my one chance to feel important and 32 by the class.

A few days after we handed in our assignments, Mrs. Bush called me up to the 33 of the classroom. I stood before thirty pairs of eyes looking at me, and I got 34 . Was I in trouble?

Please keep on writing and share your 38 of writing with the world. I am proud of you and glad you are in my class.”

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

My mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.

As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.

To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!

Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.

The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.

An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.

I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of qu
