3．（8分）I have a bad habit of skipping（跳过） to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while I am still in the middle of it.This habit annoyed first my mom，then my friends
Often my impatience wouldn't be confined（限制） just to the books I read but also to what they were reading as well.Finally one day my daughter told me in anger， "Dad，please just read a book one page at a time like everyone else!"
At times I haven't limited this bad habit to just books，either.I also tried to skip ahead in my own life and work out what to do months and even years from now instead of hugging each day.
I knew that the book of my life wasn't done yet and that I had many pages left to go.Still，that didn't stop me from trying to write the ending halfway through.
Time and again，I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every difficult problem before it happened so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending.
Life，however，doesn't work like that.You never know what new problem，change or opportunity each new day will bring.
Recently when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the future again，I found a special soul who gently told me I needed to " ".
When I heard those words I smiled，turned the book of my life back to the right page，and expressed thanks for today.
There is no skipping ahead in the book of life.Each of us has to live it one page and one day at a time.Each of us has to write it line by line and moment by moment.Each of us has to trust that our story will certainly have a perfect ending.
（1）The writer's bad reading habit annoyed many people EXCEPT .

D.He turned the book of his life back to the right page at last.
（4）What's the best title for the passage？
A.Life is a book.
B.How to read books.
C.Read and think.
D.A good habit is helpful.

When we arrived there，I gave my son a dollar and asked him to give it to a poor man at the door of this store.We went in and soon filled our cart with food.Then we walked towards the self﹣checkout（自助结账） machines.I hated using them.I preferred to chat with the friendly cashiers（收银员），though，I heard a man at the machine next to mine complaining in a low voice.Every time he put his old（起褶皱的） twenty﹣dollar bill into the machine，it spit the bill out.I quickly took a newer twenty﹣dollar bill out of my wallet and gave it to him.He thanked me with a warm smile and paid for his things.I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old，wrinkled twenty﹣dollar bill.I nodded，put it in my coat pocket
After checking out I remembered the saying： "Helping one person at a time，and always start with the person nearest you." I reached into my pocket，smiled，and went outside.Then I gave that wrinkled twenty-dollar bill to another poor person and walked to my car happily.
