When I was seven
years old my mom was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer.
The doctors told us my
mom might be saved with
surgery(手术). But it could also kill her. She chose
to have it.
The day before the surgery I was
off school, and my mom planned the best day of my
life,
everything I loved at seven and
everything that would put a smile on my face. The
day began with
her waking me up saying, “Kate,
I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The
surprise was a
doll I had wanted for the
longest time. Throughout the day, she told me
everything that she thought
I would need to
know to grow up and be a good person; she told me
to be the best I could be and
that I would
always make her proud. We had a picnic in the
park, and it was so cold that we moved
to the
car. The day was filled with laughter. For the
first time in a long time I could see she
was
really happy. I would never forget her smile, or
the way her eyes shone as if we were the
same
age. It was the best day of my life, and I will
never forget the conversations we shared.
My
mother managed to live through the surgery. Now
when I look back, I realize that the best
day
of my life could be her last and this could be the
last day I would remember with her, the
last
one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a
mother is.

七、完成表格。
阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。
The way in which we
communicate with others can be greatly improved by
building a better
vocabulary. In our personal
life, we communicate and share experiences with
orders. However, how
well we do n depends on
our ability to express ourselves through spoken
and written language.
Luckily, increasing our
word power can make us own the skills we need to
communicate better with
others and can also
help us get better results in our study.
When
you see a new word, whether through reading or
hearing someone say the word, just be
ready lo
take out your dictionary mil look it up—learn
about the word and anything that relate(与…
相关)
to it. If you understand the word, you’ll
hopefully remember it well.
Meanwhile, you’d
better write down words to learn. You can go
through the dictionary, magazine
and newspaper
or even take down the unknown words you hear. Try
to review them every day—look
at the words and
speak them out loudly. Copy the words over and
over again, along with their meanings,
and you
will surprisingly remember them in no time.
You can also do word searches, crossword
puzzles or other word games. Playing these games,
you are more likely to come across new words,
and when you are caught in new words, study them.
The more words you have in your brain’s word
bank, the better you will become at these word
games.
You will be remembering, learning and
having fun, too.

Finally,
reading is also believed to be an excellent way to
learn new words and build up your
vocabulary.
Read things you are interested in, because in this
way, you are less likely to become
bored. But
don’t skip over (忽略) those words you don’t know.
Instead, you should remember and
use them in
your own daily conversations. Use them more, and
you’ll surely have a better chance
of
remembering them.
