Dear son,

The day when you see me old and I am already not young, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have 21 . Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I 22 to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not interrupt me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 23 you get to sleep. When I do not want to have a shower, 24 shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase(追逐) you 25 thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bathe.

When you see my ignorance on new technologies, give me the necessary time 26 do not look at me with your mocking (嘲讽的) smile. I taught you how to do so many things: to eat well, to dress well, to confront(勇敢面对) life.When at some moment I 27 the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember. And if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not the 28 , but surely to be with you and to 29 you listening to me.

If 30 , I do not want to eat, do not 31 me. I know well when I need to and when not.

When my tired 32 do not allow me to walk, give me your hand---the same way 33 I did when you gave your 34 steps. And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more, that I want to die, do not get angry. Some day you 35 understand.

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 36 my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and 37 I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad or angry for seeing me 38 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I 39 it when you started living.

Help me to walk; help me to 40 my way with love and patience. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

I love you, son.

Your father

第二部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

第一节：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

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．

People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．

One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace． We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?

Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．

Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员)．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．

Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．

Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk out
