【点睛】名词性从句（主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句）的连接词的用法依据原则是：缺什么补什么，即缺什么意思就补什么意思的词。因而，正确理解句子意义和分析句子很重要。本句中，首先看到主句中用到了be aware of 整体来充当谓语，因而之后都是宾语；再结合从句的句子结构分析，就可知道缺少介词like的宾语，结合选项各自的含义和用法，即可做出正确答案。

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：那是在1952年，曼德拉是我寻求建议的黑人律师。分析句子结构和选项可知，此空应为“介词+which/whom”引导的定语从句，先行词the black lawer指的是人，所以关系代词应为whom，根据固定短语turn to sb.意为“向某人求助”可知，此处的介词应为to，所以此处应为to whom。故选A项。
14. There are some factors dominating your success. ______ a good chance sometimes, in my opinion, outweighs one’s ability.
A. Seizing B. Having seized C. Seized D. Having been seized

B
My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education.
Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning.
Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back.
In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me.
Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were.
41. What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class
A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading.
42. What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class
A. He asked students to count lines.
B. He stressed the importance of play.
C. He analyzed literature in a new way.
D. He showed great devotion to students.
43. What does the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers.
C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers’ points.
44. What best describes the two teachers according to the text
A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict.
45. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To show love for French literature.
B. To explore the meaning of education.
C. To explain why teachers are important.
D. To share memories of the two teachers.
【答案】41. A 42. C 43. C 44. A 45. D

C
It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”
Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.
Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.”
46. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one
A. Those who join in structured activities.
B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day.
C. Those who don’t like school sports.
D. Those who take part in game lessons.
47. What did the researcher focus on in their research
A. The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams.
C. The performance at kindergarten. D. The time spent in classrooms.
48. In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______.
A. understand each other better B. follow the rules
C. respect the teachers D. give up
49. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. How scientists carried out the research.
B. Why parents were interviewed by phone.
C. How kids behaved at home or at school.
D. How many sports kids did at school.
50. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph
A. The research will be of great benefit.
B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens.
C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment.
D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens.
【答案】46. D 47. A 48. B 49. A 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员认为体育活动和注意力技巧是密切相关的。参加体育活动的孩子比那些没有参加的孩子表现更好，更善于听从指示，在课堂上保持注意力集中。这似乎有助于孩子们理解遵守规则和履行责任的重要性。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson.”（但是，定期组织学校体育活动有助于孩子们在未来几年的学业。研究人员称，其他“有组织”的活动，如音乐或宗教活动，对注意力的影响不如上）可知，那些经常参加游戏课的学生，在学术研究上可能做得更好。故选D项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up.”（琳达·帕加尼教授说:“我们利用家长和老师提供的信息，将幼儿的活动与他们成长过程中的课堂活动进行了比较。）可知，研究者们在研究中主要是针对成长过程中的课堂活动。故选A项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”（体育环境中有一些特殊的东西——也许是属于一个具有共同目标的团队或特殊群体的感觉——这似乎有助于孩子们理解遵守规则和履行责任的重要性。）可知，在体育的环境中学生更有可能学会遵守规则。故选B项。
【49题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers began studying 2, 694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life.

【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.””（帕加尼教授补充道：“这一结果对那些希望降低儿童肥胖率和低学业成绩的学校来说应该是令人鼓舞的。”）”可知，这项研究非常有益。故选A项。
D
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
51. Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1
A. To offer an example to handle failure.
B. To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C. To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D. To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
52. What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”
A. It protects us from false feedback. B. It pictures us as competitive people.
C. It poses a severe threat to self-image. D. It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
53. What is the author’s attitude towards failure
A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Objective. D. Skeptical.
54. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean
A. Unhappily. B. Mistakenly. C. Hurriedly. D. Carelessly.
55. Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A. Don’t escape when our self-image is broken.
B. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C. Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.
【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. C 55. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了正确的失败观——失败是不可避免的。作者呼吁大家树立正确的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”，当我们完美的自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时，不要逃避，不要贬低自己的价值，要勇敢地面对，从中得到学习和提高。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals(然而，心理学研究发现，我们大多数人都很难建设性地处理失败。换句话说，我们不能“向前失败”。我们找到了贬低我们失败的任务的方法，变得不那么有动力去坚持和达到我们的目标)”可推知，作者在第一段提出了一个看似正确但实则肤浅的观点，以便后文提出作者自己的见解：仅仅把失败当作一种幸运是肤浅的，而要有建设性地“失败”，从中学习经验，故选B。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. ( Sjastad 解释说“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制。“我们大多数人把自己想象成有能力的人，所以当外部反馈表明情况并非如此时，这种自我形象就会受到严重威胁，”他表示。)”可知，“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制，会否认外界对于我们的负面反馈，故选D。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. (这并不意味着我们应该一直坚持目标。如果这个过程不再让我们感到快乐，那么改变雄心壮志可能是健康的。)”和最后一段“Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.(失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。)”可知，作者认为失败是不可避免的，有时候我们需要失败，同时要面对失败，由此可推知，作者从正反两方面来对待失败，所以说作者对待失败的态度是客观的，故选C。
【54题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.(而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高。)”可知，前后是对比关系，即酸葡萄效应可能导致我们过早地做出这个决定，而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高，由此可推知，划线单词prematurely，与hanging on a little意思相反，意为“过早地”，与C项“匆忙地”意思相近，故选C。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.( 失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。)”可推知，作者通过全文的讨论，呼吁大家树立正确的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”，当我们完美的自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时，不要逃避，不要贬低自己的价值，要勇敢地面对，从中得到学习和提高，故作者最有可能同意A项“当我们的自我形象被打破时，不要逃避”，故选A。

阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
My family had moved into a new house with big back yard. For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one.
Though my brother and I were of like minds about the goal of having a family member, what exactly it meant to each of us was entirely different. I was excited and happy when my parents brought home the dog, Snoopy. Despite the fun of playing with him，I knew it was really more my brother’s pet than mine. I really, really wanted a cat! I tried to show my joy for getting a pet while trying to hide my disappointment that he wasn’t a cat. My parents must have known how I was feeling because they suggested that I could make a wish about it.
Running to my bedroom, I made a wish sincerely that I would have a cat. Not more than a minute or two passed when I heard a faint scratching sound(轻微的抓挠声) coming from the front door. Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat.
I was absolutely amazed! I went close to the white cat, and it began walking towards me. I gathered his mass into my arms and then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy. So, Snowball joined our household that day, too.
Although my parents always denied having anything to do with Snowball's arrival, I guessed they might have. However, even if they did somehow arrange for him to appear at the front door at the very moment when I was making a wish for a cat, it would not reduce the miracle of a cat doing in my life.
56. What were the author's parents persuaded to do (no more than 10 words)
57. Why did the author feel disappointed (no more than 10 words)
58. What happened to the author after her wish (no more than 10 words)
59. How can we understand the underlined part in Paragraph 4 (no more than 10 words)
60. What do you think of the author's parents And why (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56. They were persuaded to raise /keep a family pet.
57. Because she wanted a cat instead of a dog.
58. A large，white cat appeared at the front door./ She saw a large , white cat at the front door.
59. The author picked up the cat with her arms./ The author held /hugged/embraced the cat with her arms.
60. I think they are great because of their way to realize the kid’s wish is interesting and moving.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者和哥哥说服父母养一只家庭宠物，但是一开始父母带回来的是一只狗，作者虽然很失望不是猫，但依然很喜欢狗，隐藏起了自己的失望。惊喜的是，父母也给她带了一只猫，在让她许愿后，猫咪就出现在了门口。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段最后两句“For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one.”（有一段时间，我哥哥和我一直希望能有一只家庭宠物。最后，我们终于说服了父母，让他们相信是时候养一个了。）可知，作者的父母被说服养一只宠物。根据要求，答案长度不能超过10个单词。故答案为They were persuaded to raise /keep a family pet.

【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段最后两句“Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat.”（我好奇地站了起来，走向开着的前门。那儿，一只又大又白的猫静静地坐在我面前。）可知，在许愿后，作者在前门看到了一只又大又白的猫。根据要求，答案长度不能超过10个单词。故答案为A large，white cat appeared at the front door./ She saw a large , white cat at the front door.
【59题详解】
考查句意猜测。根据“I went close to the white cat, and it began walking towards me.”我走近那只白猫，它开始向我走来。根据第四段第三句中的“then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy”（然后我走进后院，我的父母和哥哥正在那里和史努比玩）可知，此处是指作者抱着猫走进后院，所以“I gathered his mass into my arms”的意思是作者用胳膊抱起了猫。根据要求，答案长度不能超过10个单词。故答案为The author picked up the cat with her arms./ The author held /hugged/embraced the cat with her arms.
【60题详解】
考查开放性回答。回答问题时，应先表达你对作者的父母的看法，再说明原因，看法和原因应基于故事内容。故参考答案为I think they are great because of their way to realize the kid’s wish is interesting and moving.

My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education.
Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning.
Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back.
In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me.
Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were.
41. What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class
A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading.
42. What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class
A. He asked students to count lines.
B. He stressed the importance of play.
C. He analyzed literature in a new way.
D. He showed great devotion to students.
43. What does the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers.
C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers’ points.
44. What best describes the two teachers according to the text
A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict.
45. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To show love for French literature.
B. To explore the meaning of education.
C. To explain why teachers are important.
D. To share memories of the two teachers.
C
It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”
Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.
Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.”
46. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one
A. Those who join in structured activities.
B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day.
C. Those who don’t like school sports.
D. Those who take part in game lessons.
47. What did the researcher focus on in their research
A. The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams.
C. The performance at kindergarten. D. The time spent in classrooms.
48. In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______.
A. understand each other better B. follow the rules
C. respect the teachers D. give up
49. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. How scientists carried out the research.
B. Why parents were interviewed by phone.
C. How kids behaved at home or at school.
D. How many sports kids did at school.
50. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph
A. The research will be of great benefit.
B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens.
C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment.
D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens.
D
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
51. Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1
A. To offer an example to handle failure.
B. To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C. To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D. To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
52. What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”
A. It protects us from false feedback. B. It pictures us as competitive people.
C. It poses a severe threat to self-image. D. It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
53. What is the author’s attitude towards failure
A Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Objective. D. Skeptical.
54. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean
A. Unhappily. B. Mistakenly. C. Hurriedly. D. Carelessly.
55. Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A. Don’t escape when our self-image is broken.
B. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C. Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.

阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
My family had moved into a new house with big back yard. For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one.
Though my brother and I were of like minds about the goal of having a family member, what exactly it meant to each of us was entirely different. I was excited and happy when my parents brought home the dog, Snoopy. Despite the fun of playing with him，I knew it was really more my brother’s pet than mine. I really, really wanted a cat! I tried to show my joy for getting a pet while trying to hide my disappointment that he wasn’t a cat. My parents must have known how I was feeling because they suggested that I could make a wish about it.
Running to my bedroom, I made a wish sincerely that I would have a cat. Not more than a minute or two passed when I heard a faint scratching sound(轻微的抓挠声) coming from the front door. Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat.
I was absolutely amazed! I went close to the white cat, and it began walking towards me. I gathered his mass into my arms and then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy. So, Snowball joined our household that day, too.
Although my parents always denied having anything to do with Snowball's arrival, I guessed they might have. However, even if they did somehow arrange for him to appear at the front door at the very moment when I was making a wish for a cat, it would not reduce the miracle of a cat doing in my life.
