2． There was a time in my life when I lost everything.My physical health was the first thing to go.I lost the ability to walk and ended up in a wheelchair.I couldn't go places and do the things I used to do.
After that，I lost everything else.I lost friends who grew tired and weary of waiting for a recovery that might never come.I lost my career，which I had worked for decades to build- my source of independent income.There went my sense of purpose，too.I lost my house.I had nowhere to live and had to move back in with my parents.
With no job，health，friends，or house to come home to，most people would fall into a deep despair.And I did experience depression.But it was my family that gave me faith.I think it was my ability to keep the faith that allowed the faith to be rewarded in the end.
My health returned slowly but surely.I no longer neglected myself and then put my body last.I was grateful that I could now see how necessary my health was，and that it was okay to prioritize myself over a paycheck.For me，health was more important than any other things and should be dealt with first.
New friends entered my life—people with authentic hearts and kind understanding.I was grateful that I lost people along the way to make room for the people who were supposed to be there all along.A new job presented itself as well.I was so grateful that I lost my old job so that one better suited to my hobbies could unfold before my eyes.
When bad things happen，it doesn't mean that better things aren't down the line.We just need the strength to hold on to hope.Yes，there was a time in my life when I lost everything—everything except my faith.But the new perspective that I gained was more important than anything that I lost.

3． Do you love reading about the adventures of the X-Men？How about Superman？Maybe Scott Pilgrim is more your style.If any of these stories are familiar，you've likely been reading one of the most popular types of books around—comic books!
For many，though，just reading comic books isn't enough.Do you ever dream of making your own？If so，you're not alone.People all over the world come up with new stories every day.The process of writing a comic book can be daunting，though.Where would you begin？
All great comic books start with a great idea.Think up an interesting main character or have an exciting adventure in mind.From there，you can build a whole cast of characters and imagine the world they live in.Then，put together the plot of your story.What is the major conflict？What events will lead to the climax？Once your idea is fully formed，it's time to start writing.
Before designing your comic book，you should give a description of the main points or major events involved in your work first.It can help direct how to write your own comic book.Once you know the major events that will happen in the story，you can choose the layout for the comic book.
Most comic book creators sketch the comic first in pencil，then add ink and color later.A minor slip or human errors will be avoidable in the final comic.Another option is to use design software to create the graphics for your story.While creating the book，don't forget to leave room for lettering!You'll want to have plenty of space to add dialogue and sound effects.
When your comic book is finished，the final step is to publish your work.Many authors sell their comics online or allow people to download portions of them for free.This can help you build a following.If you dream of writing for DC Comics one day，this is a great way to get started.Most large comic publishers look for stories that are already popular with online audiences.The larger an audience you can build，the better.
（1）What does "daunting" underlined in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Discouraging.
B．Amazing.
C．Exciting.
D．Boring.
（2）When should you start writing your comic book？
A．After having the characters.
B．After setting a certain world.
C．After finding design software.
D．After figuring out the events.
（3）Why is it necessary to leave space while drawing？
A．To add a contact number.
B．To have conversations.
C．To beautify the comic book.
D．To allow readers to comment.
（4）How do comic authors often promote their works？

Her eyes looked back and forth like a creature looking for a way out.This had been her fifth foster home.No wonder she was afraid.For the first two weeks，Trudy was still shy.Mrs Kline had told us her history，but I never mentioned the terrible things that had happened to her.She also got along well with all my four children.
One day，when Trudy had been with us for about a month，I took my eldest daughter，Joanne shopping for a new winter coat，and Trudy went too.Joanne was trying on a green jacket.It was expensive，but she begged，promising to do extra chores for the jacket.
Trudy picked out a jacket she liked and was looking into the mirror for long.As I watched her，I realized it wasn't the same girl that had entered our home about a month ago.She held her head higher.Putting the jacket back on the rack，she rejoined Joanne.
"The jacket looks so nice on you，" Trudy said. "Can I borrow it sometime？" she said.I hadn't seen her face so bright before.While they were busy，I asked the salesperson to wrap up the jacket Trudy had tried on. "Please don't let her see it—it's a surprise，" I explained.For the next few minutes，I kept Trudy busy while the salesperson was wrapping it.We bought the coat Joanne loved and I managed to bring the parcels to the car without being noticed.
On arriving home，Joanne proudly modelled her new coat for Trudy again.I asked Trudy to go out to the car and bring in the other parcel.
