This is my third story. When I was 17，I read a quote that 16 something like，“If you live each day 17 it was your last，someday you'll most certainly be right.”Since then，for the past thirty-three years，I've looked 18 the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am
about to do today？”And whenever the answer has been“No”for too many days in a 19 ，I know I need to change something.

About a year ago I was 20 wi
th cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable，and that I should 21 to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my 22 in order，which is doctors' code for“prepare to 23 ”. Later that evening when the doctors 24 the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope，they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is 25 with surgery. I had the surgery and， 26 ，I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death，and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the 27 we all share. No one has 28 escaped it. And that is 29 it should be，because death is very likely the single 30 invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make 31 for the new. Your time is 32 ，so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma(信条)—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of 33 opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly，have the courage to 34 your heart and intuition(直觉). They 35 already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Mrs. Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time，I was getting ready to eat my same old tuna fish (金枪鱼)sandwich and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.

I was thrilled. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family，and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to use again the next day. My sandwiches were either bologna(大香肠)or tuna fish. It rarely varied beyond that.

You can understand my delight when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch.

When we finished lunch that day，Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwiches. I really didn't care why，but it gave me a few minutes of her precious attention so I was very quiet as she explained. You see，she was Catholic and she told me that Catholics didn't eat red meat on Fridays—they ate fish on Fridays.

Oh，I couldn't wait to get home and tell my mama that from now on I wanted tuna fish on Fridays. After my mama understood why，she gladly fixed tuna fish for me on Fridays. She even fixed it on brown bread because she knew Mrs. Amatuli liked brown bread. From then on，every Friday I could get in line with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn't care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food—it tasted divine to me！

I realize now that Mrs. Amatuli could have fixed herself a tuna sandwich of Friday. But she bought my sandwiches because she saw a little girl who was thrilled over the simple act of having a hot lunch.

I will never forget her for her compassion and generosity and what I should do is to follow her example.

Beijing—（13, July） China sent up a new data relay satellite（数据中继卫星）, Tianlian I-02, on Monday at the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in South-western Sichuan province．The new satellite will promote the country's satellite communication network for space docking（对接）．

The satellite was launched on a Long-March-3C carrier rocket at 11:41 p．m．, sources at the centre told Xinhua News Agency．The satellite separated from the rocket 26 minutes after its launch and was then successfully delivered into a geostationary transfer orbit （地球同步转移轨道）．

Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite is the country's second data relay satellite．The first, Tianlian I-01, was launched on April 25．2008．

The two satellites will form a network to improve communications between China's spacecraft and bases on Earth, according to the centre．They will also be used to help the nation's first space docking, scheduled for the second half of this year．

As planned, China will launch space module Tiangong-I, which was designed as a platform that will dock with an unmanned spaceship, Shenzhou, for the county's first space-docking mission this year．

Two more Shenzhou spaceships will dock with Tiangong-I next year, and one will be manned by two or three astronauts, according to China Manned Space Engineering Office, which was the main user of the Tianlian I series data relay satellites．

“The new satellite can cover a greater area to track and command the country’s space vehicles in low-Earth orbits, such as manned spacecraft and remote sensing satellites, from a higher position in outer space．Only three satellites of this kind are needed to form a global communication network, and China has two now．” Pang Zhihao, a researcher and deputy editor-in-chief of Space International, said．

The satellite could also equip astronauts with real-time c
