I learned how to accept life as it is from my father.1, he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was2 and ill. My father was once a    strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness3 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is4.

One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started talking about life, and I told them about one of my beliefs. I said that we must very often give up5we grow - our youth, our beauty, our friends - but it always seems that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father6, "Son, I gave up everything! What have I gained?" I couldn't7anything to say.8, he answered his own question, "I gained the love of my family." I looked at my sisters and saw  tears  in  their eyes,  along  with  hope  and9. I was also touched by his words.

After that, when I began to feel angry at someone, I would remember his words and became10. If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be able to give up my small anger. In this way, I learned the power of acceptance.

Tom Avery is one of the only 41 people ever to have reached both the South and North Poles. He was born in December 1975 and brought up in England, Brazil and France. His passion(强烈爱好) for adventure began when he was just seven years old and first read about the expeditions(探险) of famous explorers.Perhaps this was the start of his plan to put together the ultimate(终极的) joumey —— to the very top of the world, the North Pole, following the route taken by Robert Peary in his 1909 adventure.

Both Peary and Avery set off from Cape Columbia in Canada. Peary had a larger team and in fact had four support groups. Every 160 kilometers, a group would leave plenty of food and then turn back. The team therefore got smaller the further north they travelled. While Avery didn't have as many on his team, they did have food dropped by plane for them at four locations.

Avery's team also had the obvious benefit of modern technology, but Avery doesn't believe this made a big difference. He credits (把……归功于) his team's success to the 16 Inuit dogs that pull the sledges(雪橇)."It wouldn't have been possible without them,"he said."Your speed depends on the dogs and how quickly you can get a sledge through the ice."His team were travelling at the end of winter and this meant that the ice was thinner and could easily break under a person's weight. This was an added danger.

Another difference between both men's journeys was that Peary was far more experienced than Avery and had already been on several trips to the Arctic.

Peary claimed(声称) to have reached the North Pole in 39 days, but some historians argue that this was not possible. Avery's team actually beat this time and became the fastest to get there on foot. Avery says,"We told everyone we could do it and that we wouldn't fail. But it certainly wasn't easy."

 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。

Mother's Day is always a fun time at my house every year. This year is no exception. My brother and I want our mom to feel 1 by giving her a day off from family chores. 

In the morning,I woke up before everyone else to hang up a poster that 2 "Happy Mother's Day". My dad also got up3 and helped set up a rose bouquet(玫瑰花束) in a vase. When my mom woke up,she read cards we laid out next to her bed with a big smile. While she was watching the morning news with my dad,it was time to 4 my cooking skills. I made some delicious food with my brother's help. My mom and I love board games,so after a short 5 around the neighborhood,we played all of her favorites. In my family,playing a fun board game turns into a big6 and can become very heated. One of us always becomes a sore loser after being beaten in the game. The afternoon games made all of us tired. A delicious takeout dinner from my mom's favorite restaurant 7 us. The festivities(庆祝活动)8 with ice­cream and more quality family time,while we were watching one of my mom's favorite movies from her teenage years. 

It was such a 9 day,and it was great to be able to show my mom how much we appreciate her and thank her for10 she does for our family. Mother's Day should be every day.
