　　The Power of Story

　　When my dog Gracie disappeared six years ago, I really learned what I believe. Gracie escaped from our backyard around 2:00 p.m. We searched the neighborhood for hours but had no 16 . We put up advertisements, and by dark, we returned home, exhausted(精疲力竭).

　　On the second day, I called my animal doctor, the SPCA, and the animal shelter(收容所). Nothing. I felt lost.

　　If I knew Gracie had been 17 , I would have been heartbroken. If I knew she was caught somewhere, I would save her. If I knew she had found a better home, I would be 18 yet relieved(放心的). But how do I deal with the unknown? Wait patiently? Search endlessly? Give up?

　　The third day, while I was searching in the woods with my friend Rhea, I told her losing Gracie was like losing faith(信任) in everything. Rhea smiled and said, "You know, maybe Gracie’s on a great adventure." It seems 19 , but I felt better then. Rhea’s words 20 me what, as a writer, I surely have faith in: the power of story.

　　As one writer said, all we have is stories. It’s what holds our life together. We call stories science, some stories myth(神话), but imagine hearing for the first time that the world may be round. Such stories only become real when we 21 them. And some stories are never supported with scientific facts, but they still seem to hold true.

　　For example, ten years earlier, I’d dreamt that I should get a 22 , and by that evening, Gracie came into my life. When people would ask what kind of dog she was, I would say Muppet wolf terrier(小猎狗). It was something I 23 because I believed Gracie was half dog, half wolf.

　　So why not imagine now that she was off on an adventure exploring her wolf side?

　　The fourth day started with me finding a 24 on the sidewalk, I’d always thought of finding money as a good sign. And I was sure Gracie would come home on the fifth day. I guess it was another story to hold on to.

　　On Day Five, I was at a friend’s house when her phone rang. I knew immediately it was news about Gracie. And I was right. When I finally saw her in my hallway, I cried. "My wolf days are 25 ." Gracie seemed to say. "I’m back to being a dog".

　　Or so is the story I choose to believe.

　　16. A. luck B. reason C. good D. problem

　　17. A. kept B. sold C. stolen D. killed

　　18. A. mad B. worried C. sad D. moved

　　19. A. right B. strange C. reasonable D. real

　　20. A. ordered B. warned C. reminded D. suggested

　　21. A. hear B. know C. believe D. read

　　22. A. dog B. prize C. story D. house

　　23. A. looked up B. built up C. set up D. made up

　　24. A. card B. coin C. phone D. book

　　25. A. lasting B. exciting C. short D. over

　　三、阅读理解(20小题，每小题2分，共40分)

　　阅读下面四篇语言材料，然后按文后要求做题。

　　A

　　When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to stand her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

　　He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, "Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(标记) the points(点) that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."

　　I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

　　I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. "That’s just for you," he said. "You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right."

　　Many years has passed. The situation often appears(出现) in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!

　　Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament(脾气). It is usually believed that both genes(基因) and environment may affect people’s temperaments in different ways. Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.

　　Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students need to finish a questionnaire(问卷). The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like "My mood often changes for no reason." and "I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky." These answers were then matched with their birthdays.

　　They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.

　　The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.

　　Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life.

　　"It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders(紊乱) ," lead scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.
