The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.

B
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I slow up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband.
I have tried to make marriage vows（誓约）mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life — a real life, not a desire of the next promotion（提升），a bigger paycheck, or a larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e —mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in some ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
Tell them this: Read in the backyard with the sunshine on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness. Because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
41. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the author think love is not leisure, it is work
B. the author likes traveling very much
C. the author spends all her time caring for her children
D. the author is a success in personal life
42. How did the author from her attitude towards life
A. Through her own experience.
B. By learning from other people
C. Through social experience.
D. From her children and husband.
43. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” the
author really means that people tend to .
A. waste a lot in life
B. work rather than enjoy life
C. forget the most important lesson in life
D. make a living rather than live a real life
44. What’s the author’s attitude toward work
A. Do it well to serve others.
B. Earn enough money to make life better.
C. Don’t let it affect your real life.
D. Try your best to get higher position and pay.
45. What’s the text mainly about
A. People should love their friends.
B. We should live a real life.
C. In your life, you shouldn’t waste time.
D. Be a Good Mother and Wife.
