every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and crying, in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help.
Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt.
She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.
In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued, whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.
For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She just knew it. She later wrote, ―Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn‘t happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship — I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and losing everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along…There‘s a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is happening around us.‖
She had tied her rope to the wrong things. It took a disaster for her to understand that those things are not trustworthy. So she let go of the rope and discovered peace. She found that her true security was a power within- dependable and sure.

第II卷（满分35分） 第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空只能填1个单词。
Why should you have a purpose? Do you think people like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Theresa, Winston Churchill, Helen Keller and Oprah Winfrey, have life purposes?
Of course they do! Grand, visionary purposes which other people scoffed(laughed) at an earlier point in their lives! And it was their purposes which led them to their level of greatness that no one would have thought possible.
Having a purpose gives you an entirely new latitude in life. It is like your secret access pass which unlocks benefits like fulfillment, happiness and success – things people spend their entire lives trying to seek.
What is important is to understand things like abundance, success, wealth, fulfillment, etc. are the results of discovering and pursuing your purpose – as long as you find and live your purpose fully and truly, everything will fall into place. It is as simple as that.
Understanding Your Role in Creating Your Purpose
If you are an apathetic (冷淡的) person, maybe you will say ―I don‘t care about having a purpose.‖ Or if you are nihilistic（虚无主义的）, you may say ―Life is meaningless. There is no point in trying to assign a meaning.‖ Maybe you are just generally okay with the way your life is right now and you think that having a purpose is“for other people‖.
If life has no meaning or purpose, then why are you here? Why are you getting up every day and going through the motions with the rest of the world? Why are you breathing the air and walking the earth? If life really has no meaning for you, isn‘t it logically better to end it than to wait for your time to end?
Without a purpose, your everyday life is filled with actions not guided by a focal point. It‘ll be a combination of mish-mesh, random forces around you which end up canceling out each other in the larger spectrum of life. The end product is an average life and an average existence.
Look at the people around you. Have you ever known people who truly, really feel like they are alive? When they talk, their eyes widen and sparkle; everything they talk about just seems so exciting and interesting. Life through their eyes seems so positive and appealing all the time. These people are in tune with their life purpose and they are living and breathing it.
On the other hand, there is another group of people who are unaware or disconnected with their purpose. They content themselves with what is within their reach and are often oriented in negativity, complaints, and dissatisfaction. Life seems plain, monotonous (dull) and uninspiring from their eyes.
Which scenario (situation) do you think best describes your life right now? And which one would you rather lead?
As long as you don‘t have clarity on what your purpose is, what you are effectively doing every day is living out other people‘s purpose. There are 2 ways to live your life – the first, and what most people do, is to live aimlessly without a direction. The other, less trod (踩，踏) path, is to define your purpose and live by it.
If you choose to live, you are better off creating meaning for your existence. This means to

Volunteering means working for free or helping those who are in need of help. At present volunteering is very popular in many parts of the world. US First Lady Michelle Obama is a big fan of volunteering. She thinks volunteering is very important. ?It should be part of everyone‘s life,‘ she says.
Many teenagers agree with her. They say that helping others is cool and it can really make a difference. These days more and more teenagers would prefer to volunteer rather than work for pay. They clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters, visit the elderly and teach skills to people that need their help. Some American cities including Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, D. C. require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate or apply to a university. The students who volunteer can learn some new skills and help their communities at the same time.
Many parents are in favor of the idea. They say volunteering helps children develop useful job skills. But most teenagers don‘t want to be forced to volunteer. They say they are busy. And
