Wee k by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last , I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.                                                                  He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”                                                                           I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.              I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”‎ Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments.  In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.                                                          5.

He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.                   C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.‎ D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it. ‎ ‎6. Why did her father listen to her quietly?                                            A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true. ‎ B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by ‎ keeping silent for a while. ‎ C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.      ‎ D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.      ‎ ‎                  7. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?                           ‎ A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had ‎ C. My Father ‎ D.

Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy."     The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on.
