My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool (流口水)” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.
This had been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of “firsts” for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能).
On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions (过渡) from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.
And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my face lit up. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated (主宰) that swim, won that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered (克服) that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.
Shine on, sweet baby. 24. Kelly is nervous when ______.
A. situations are new to her C. she changes into a leader
B. boys are around her D. she is away from her mom
25. We can know from the Paragraph 3 ______ . A. the race began in the early morning B. the whole family gave Kelly support C. Kelly was eager for her turn in the race D. Kelly prepared for her brother’s birthday party
26. Seeing Kelly’s performance in the race, the author felt ______. A. excited and proud
B. anxious and uneasy D. worried and hesitant
C. curious and concerned
27. The author “felt like I won that day ” because Kelly ______. A. expressed love to her C. took part in the sport
C
Dear John,
My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.
I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself \ Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say \ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.
One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate
B. won the gold medal
D. overcame the fear
（热情的） about it, I could make my life fulfilling.
All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction. Take care!
Sincerely ,
Amber

When men get together, they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts. However, they talk about a lot, like their newest computer, how to repair their car, or even business.
Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women, jump to computer games, then continue to the sport of the season. They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting (吹牛).Men seldom call each other to chat.
