24、 Wallet Jenny looked at the store window . There was nothing that she wanted more than a Happy Hannah doll. It was $29.95. Unluckily, Jenny didnt even have the 95 cents. As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brothers housework, cleaning the floor, washing the dishes all month, but e
25、ven then she would have only eleven dollars. Suddenly, something small and pink in the snow caught her eyes. Jenny walked over and picked it up from the snow. It was a beautiful wallet. She opened the wallet and found many dollars and a womans drivers license Jenny put the wallet into her bag quickl
26、y. She turned around and walked back. Jennys heart beat fast as she entered the store. She had long dreamed about this moment, but something didnt feel right. As she got to the Happy Hannah dolls, she pushed away her feelings. She grabbed( 抓起) one and walked toward the checkout. As Jenny was waiting

28、ny left the store and walked all the way to 301 West Street. The woman who answered the door looked sad. “Here, I found this in the snow,“ Jenny said. “Oh, good God!

31、. D. She did her brothers housework for three months. C Relationships fade( 逐 渐消 失). People change. But what if we could travel to the past and experience our old memories again? Lexa Hillyers first novel, Proof of Forever, deals with common topics in young adult literature such as friendships, rela
32、tionships and self-discovery, but is filled with surprises. So it is different from other novels. The main characters, four seventeen-year-old girls Joy, Tali, Luce and Zoe promised to be best friends forever. But, like many friends, t hey grew away from one another as their interests changed. They
33、hardly speak. After Joy asks the friends to get together before they leave for college, a photo booth camera ( 机器 拍照 亭) moves the girls around two years back in time to their last summer at camp. The summer will change them forever again. The main part of the novel is set in the past. The four girls
34、 are troubled by the absurdity( 荒谬) of their time-traveling failure. With one week of camp left, they finally realize they have to recreate their last summer together to return to the present day. They must learn to work together, or serious problems may happen. Along the way, the girls learn that t
35、he past doesnt necessarily repeat itself Its filled with new memories and discoveries. The main characters are very different from one another, leading to a lot of interesting, humorous moments. Proof of Forever is not a common story about friendship. Many of its plots( 情节), such as losing trust in
36、a parent and finding out ones secrets, are very exciting. While the storyline might interest younger readers, it is most suitable for readers 15 and older. Because of its many plots and four main characters, the story is sometimes difficult to follow. The storyline jumps from character to character
37、and from problem to problem, resulting in an interesting but confusing story. The ending is very surprising. The storyline takes an unexpected twist(转折) that may even result in a few tears. However, the ending needlessly leaves a few questions unanswered and some problems to deal with. Proof of Fore
38、ver is a good read, telling the ups and downs of coming of age and the power of friendship in an honest way. 49. The novel Proof of Forever is different from others because . A. it includes some common topics B. is is Lexa Hillyers first novel C. it gives readers many surprises D. it brings back rea
39、ders old memories 50. What happens when the girls get together? A. They promise to be best friends forever. B. They talk about their last summer camp. C. They move the photo booth camera away. D. They have a time-travelling to the past. 51. What must the girls do to avoid serious problems? A. Work a
40、s a team. B. Change their interests. C. Trust their parents. D. Repeat their past life. 52. What can we learn from the passage? A. The success of the novel depends on its ending. B. The girls suffer a lot but rebuild their friendship. C. Memories of the past bring trouble to the girls life. D. Young
41、 readers love the novel because of its simple plots. D We cant control everything that happens to us. We cant control where our families came from, how much we will pay for school next fall, or how others might treat us. But there is one thing we can control: how we respond(回应) to what happens to us
42、. And that is what counts! This is why we need to stop worrying about things we cant control and start worrying about things we can. Look at the picture. The inner circle is our circle of control. It includes things we have control over ourselves, our personality, our choices, and our response to wh
43、atever happens to us. Outside the circle of control is the circle of no control. It includes the thousands of things we cant do anything about. Now, what will happen if we spend our time and energy worrying about things we cant control, like a rude comment(评价), a past mistake, or the fact that its r
44、aining on a good hair day? You guessed it! Well feel even more out of control, as if we were hurt. For example, if your sister is angry with you and youre always complaining(抱怨) about her weakness, that wont do anything to fix the problem. Itll only cause you to blame( 责 备) your problems on her and
45、lose power yourself. Dont listen to the rude comment, avoid making the mistake next time, and get an umbrella for the rain. You are the star of your own life. Focus( 关注) on what you can influence. Renatha told me a story that explains this point. A week before her upcoming volleyball game, she learn
46、ed that the mother of a player on the other team had made fun of Renathas volleyball skills. Instead of paying no attention to the comments, Renatha became angry and spent the rest of the week thinking about it. When the game arrived, her only goal was to show to this woman that she was a good playe
47、r. To make a long story short, Renatha played poorly, spent much of her time on the bench, and her team lost the game. She was so focused on something she couldnt control that she lost control to the only thing she could control herself. Proactive( 积极 的) people focus on the things they can control. By doing so they experience inner peace and are pr
