Years ago I gave a speech called “Powerful Phrases for Positive People.” These are very 36 but powerful phrases that we all like to 37 : “I’m proud of you.” “I believe 38 you.” “I trust you.” “I love you.” “You can do it.”
39 Thanksgiving Day approaching, we 40 all be focused（集中）on another one of these powerful phrases, in 41 : “I thank you.” We can never 42 out that phrase. It should always be 43 the tip of our 44 if we are truly grateful to others who help us each day and to 45 who has richly blessed us with more wealth and freedom than any other countries in history.
Despite all of God’s abundant blessings, we’re often too 46 to give thanks and too quick to complain. Maybe we’re so focused on ourselves and 47 with our lives that we forget to give thanks. Or maybe it’s because those of us in America have gotten used to our level of wealth and leisure which is beyond even the imagination of much of the world’s population.
We tend to 48 our blessings for granted, like the story about a homeowner who 49 a real-estate agent(房地产代理商) to prepare an ad to 50 his home.

When 53 what changed his mind, the homeowner said, “After reading your ad, I 54 that I already live in the house I have 55 wanted to live in.”
In this season of Thanksgiving in particular, it’s time to count our blessings and use that simple phrase, “I thank you.”

The online world offers children experiences that are educational and rewarding. In addition, understanding how to use the Internet may help a child do better in school and in his or her future job.

Star Takeshi Kaneshivo
With a healthy image, handsome face and Japan’s coolest haircut, Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城武)is one of Asia’s most attractive stars.
When “Turn Left Turn Right” (<<向左走向右走>>) opens in Chinese cinemas next month, there’s no doubt the 29-year-old boy will get even more attention.
Takeshi stars as John, a lonely violin player who falls in love with a translator called Eve, played by Gigi Leung(梁咏琪).
Many of Takeshi’s fans like to copy his haircut, clothes and even his smile. But they will find it hard to copy the way he plays the violin in the movie. He impressed his director to Kei Fung( 杜棋峰) by learning to play the violin in a few weeks.
This attitude to hard work is one of the reason Takeshi is such a good role model for young people. Like many young people, he values friendship more than anything else. “My best friends are my former schoolmates,” he once said, “We became close when we were at school and will be friends forever.”
Besides his good looks and hairstyle, he is well known for his healthy image. He started his acting career at the young age of 15 but, unlike other pop stars, he has rarely behaved badly. He stays away from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. Violence, rude words and dirty jokes seldom appear in his movies.
“I hated foreign language classes when I was in school, but now I find speaking several languages helps me a lot in my career,” he said. For someone who only took up acting, Takeshi has come far. No doubt his star will rise even higher.
63. From the title, the writer means _____.
A. Takeshi always plays a perfect role in the film
B. Takeshi impressed his audience and fans with a perfect image
C. Takeshi acts perfectly in all the films
D. Takeshi can speak Chinese perfectly
64. According to the passage, which of the following is right?
A. Takeshi has become even more attractive because of the film “Turn Left Turn Right”.
B. Takeshi falls in love with Gigi Leung
C. Fans like to copy his life style including the way he smokes.
D. Takeshi will be more successful in the future.
65. Why is Takeshi thought to be “healthy”?
A. He works hard. B. He is seldom ill. C. He behaves in a healthy way. D. Both A and C
66. When Takeshi was a young boy, he learned ______.
A. to play the violin B. Chinese C. English D. Acting at school
Ｄ

Dear Wang Yu,
How are you doing？I am so glad to get the exciting news from Anhui Daily today． Our high school will soon celebrate her 50th anniversary．
I am too excited to fall asleep now, because how I wish to meet you and other old classmates on campus． The days when we sat at the same desk come to my eyes like a movie． During those days, we studied together, played together, helped each other, learnt something from each other． It is 15 years since we graduated from our high school． Great changes have taken place these years． It has developed into one of the best high schools both in our city and several other cities around here． I’ve downloaded for you some pictures from our high school’s website．
I think of getting old classmates to give money to build a sculpture on campus． What do you think？
I’m looking forward to seeing you on campus．
Best wishes,
Zhou Hua
