B. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 7 分)

    It's not easy to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have a winner right here in my class," my teacher said. When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn't start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm, I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad. My parents and I went to school on Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged (耸肩). The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved but still disappointed at the same time. Then the second prize was announced. It was me.

I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. 1 saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. "Son, this is the proudest moment of my life."

It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it is enough just to be my father's son.

How to concentrate (集中) your mind? First of all, you should keep good habits in life. For example, you should have good m   92     to keep healthy. Breakfast is the most important of all. Not all people understand this. A number of students hurry to school in the morning without breakfast. Thus, they will feel quite h   93     in class in the morning. They aren't able to concentrate their entire mind on their study and the teacher's words. They will be thinking about what to eat after class. Do you act like this? If so, I hope that you can get up a little e   94     and have enough time to have a good breakfast before going to school. This good habit will help you a lot in your life and study.

    Secondly, reading aloud will help you to focus your attention on o   95     thing. You should spend ten to twenty minutes reading articles or poems every day. While you are doing this, you should make your mouth, eyes and brain work t   96    . You should try not to make any mistakes while you are reading. This will help you to concentrate and keep your mind in a very good state. If you keep doing this, you can i   97     your understanding ability and you will be active, too.

    Thirdly, never watch horror films, TV plays or read disturbing stories in the evening, which may distract your attention the next day in class.

    Lastly, you should do some sports and never stay up too late. All these things will help you to feel less sleepy and t   98     in class. So you can listen to the teacher carefully.

E. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 14 分)

It was Valentine's Day and I was the new guy at work. My boss handed me a heart-shaped balloon and said, "Happy Valentine's Day'."

My cubicle (小室) was one of the hundreds in a large house. If I went to the bathroom, or was just coming in the house to start my day, I got lost. Every cubicle looked the same, I tied the balloon to the wall of my cubicle, I thought I would be able to find it easily. An hour later, I stood up and looked around. Every cubicle had a red heart-shaped balloon. For a short time I thought I was different, but I was wrong. I was not the only person with a balloon. Memories from the past came to my mind.

"Stop shaking the floor!" Dad said. Our house was too small, so it was impossible not to bother our father. We tried to walk softly, but the floor still shook. 

Years later, 1 had my own family. Our house was on the side of a hill, with a small hay below us. The ocean currents filled the bay with fresh water. And the company I worked for was quite near my house. However, the company made major changes, so after fifteen years of service, I had to retire and move. I was separated from my family. Life wouldn't allow us to stay in one place. Ten months later, 1 was shocked to learn of my wife's passing away. I always felt lonely.

In every case, I thought I was the only one, but I was wrong. There were other families who were crowded in a small house, other people who moved, and other spouses who lost loved ones. We feel that we are facing unique problems, but in fact, we're not. No matter what we face or how lonely we feel, there are always others suffering from the same problems. However, we can overcome the difficulties with our will and the help of others. Don't think you are the unluckiest person in the world.
