            • 1. Last year,around Labor Day,I read a“Happy Ad“in our local newspaper.There was a lady in a local nursing home,who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it.It said that if you wanted to drop her a line,here was her address.So I did.I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note,wishing her a happy birthday.
              A week or so later,someone knocked at my front door.I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep.He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card.He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom.Apparently,like many older folks,she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine.I just didn't know what to say.I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.
              That year,I did not send out any Christmas cards,except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home.I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday.I sent her a Valentine and also a couple of notes in between.I just thought she might like to have someone write to her,to get some mail.
              She passed away a couple of months ago.I never met this lady,but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts.I dropped them a line of sympathy.I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth.

            • 3. Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together.These two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.
              One evening,Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home.They went looking for him with no success and by the next week he was still missing.
              Curiously,Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone.Barking,whining (哀叫) and generally pestering (纠缠) Brownie’s human family.Busy with their own lives,they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.
              Continuously,Ted,Brownie’s owner,was disturbed by the angry,determined little dog.Spotty followed Ted about,barking insistently,then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back,as if to say,“Follow me!It’s urgent!”
              Eventually,Ted followed Spotty to a deserted spot half a mile from the house.There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive,one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap.Horrified,Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously.Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
              Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend.In a circle around the injured dog,Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!
              Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly,in the hope of keeping his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort.Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers,and keep his spirits up.
              Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian (兽医) and he recovered.For many years thereafter,the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well worn path between their houses.

              1.Why did Ted pay little attention to Spotty at the very beginning?    
              A.Because Ted was tired of listening to Spotty barking.
              B.Because ed only cared about Brownie’s safety.
              C.Because Ted was not free at that moment.
              D.Because Ted knew where Brownie was.
              2.When Ted was led by Spotty to Brownie,he    
              A.was curious to find out what had happened
              B.highly appreciated Spotty’s help
              C.was worried about Brownie’s health
              D.regretted not following Spotty earlier
              3.Not only did Spotty help Ted find Brownie but also    
              A.he went to see his friend and played with him secretly
              B.he sent messages to some other persons in his community to save his friend
              C.he managed to lead a veterinarian to treat his friend
              D.he sent food to his friend,accompanied him and inspired him to cheer up
              4.What can we learn from the story?    
              A.Barking dogs seldom bite.
              B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
              C.Love me,love my dog.
              D.Every dog has its day.
            • 4. My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store.I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have.They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
              One of the clerks,Charlie,was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day.I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair.His family needed money.It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
              We wanted to help him,so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan.We had his secretary contact him,asking him to come in for an eye exam for free.We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them.Although Charlie questioned what was going on,the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses.When we went in to pay the bill,the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
              It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about.I’m sure that upon hearing her story,ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.

              24.Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?    
              A.It was very warm and fine.
              B.His old glasses were broken.
              C.His glasses were missing.
              D.He forgot to wear his glasses.
              25.From the passage,we can infer that    
              A.Charlie was a young man with skills
              B.Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
              C.Charlie didn’t support his family with enough money
              D.Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses
              26.The underlined word“waived”in the third paragraph can be replaced by    
              A.gave up 
              B.took up         
              C.cut down  
              D.put off
              27.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?    
              A.The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others    
              B.Customers’Gift to an Employee
              C.A Friendly Clerk-Charlie              
              D.A New Pair of Glasses.
            • 5. Since my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job,I decided I would look for one all by myself and not to tell them about it till I'd got a permanent one.
              I had seen an agency advertised in a local paper,so as soon as there was no one about to say“where are you going?“I rushed out of the house in search of it.I was wildly excited,and as nervous as if I were going on the stage.Finding the place quite easily,I tore up three flights of stairs,and swung breathlessly through a door which said“Enter without knocking,if you please.“
              The simple atmosphere of the office calmed me,and I sat down on the edge of a chair.The woman at the desk opposite looked carefully at me.Then she questioned me in a low voice.I answered softly and started to feel helpless.She wondered why I was looking for this sort of job,so I felt I had to give her the idea of a widowed mother struggling against poverty.But I felt more helpless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience or references.Suddenly,the telephone on her desk rang.While having a mysterious conversation,she kept looking at me.Then I heard her say:
              “In fact,I've got someone here who might suit.“She wrote down a number,and my spirits rose as she held out the paper to me,saying:“Ring up this lady.She wants a cook immediately.Cook a dinner for ten people tomorrow.Could you manage that,I wonder?“
              “Oh,yes,“said I-never having cooked for more than four.Then I rushed out and called the lady--Miss Cathy.I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for.“Are you sure?“she kept saying.Anyway she decided to employ me and a permanent position if I carried out the promise of my self-praise.I asked her what tomorrow's menu was to be.
              “Just a small,simple dinner:lobster cocktail,soup,turbot Mornay,fruit salad and a savory.“In a rather shaken voice I promised to turn up in good time tomorrow and rang off.

              A.Because she believed that her family were not willing to help her.
              B.Because she was a widowed mother struggling against poverty.

              37.Why didn't the woman give the author the job at first?    
              A.Because the woman found that the author didn't respect her.
              B.Because the woman realized that the author made up a story.
              C.Because the girl hadn't been a cook before or got a reference.
              D.Because the woman had already hired a more suitable cook.

            • 6. Late one morning in 20 1 2,headed for lunch in San Francisco,I drove towards one of the toll booths(收费亭).I heard loud music.It sounded like a party,or a Michael Jackson concert.I looked around.No other cars with their windows open.I looked at the toll booth.Inside it,a young man was dancing.
              “What are you doing?”I asked.
              “I’m having a party,”he said.
              “What about the rest of the people?”I looked over at other booths:nothing moving there.
              “They’re not invited.”
              I had a dozen other questions for him,but somebody in a big hurry to get somewhere started punching his horn (按喇叭) behind me and I drove off.But I made a note to myself'.Find this guy again.There’s something in his eyes that says there’s magic in his toll booth.
              Months later I did find him again,still with the loud music,still having a party.
              Again I asked.“What are you doing?”
              He said.“I remember you from the last time.I’m still dancing.I’m having the same party.”
              I said.“Look.What about the rest of the people”
              He said.“Stop.Do you see other people there?”He pointed down the row of toll booths.“Everyday,they just get in the booths,stay for eight hours,do the same motions.Brain is on hold,dead on the job.But I am enjoying my life and I’m going to be a dancer someday.”
              Sixteen people are dead on the j ob,and the seventeenth,in nearly the same situation,finds out another way to live.He and I did have lunch later,and he said.“I don’t understand why anybody would think my job is boring.I have a comer office,glass on all sides.I can see the Golden Gate,San Francisco.the Berkeley hills.Half of the western people have vacations here while I can stay here every day and practise dancing for the future success.’’

            • 7. I once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party.I had never talked with a botanist before,and I found him fascinating.I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato).I had a small indoor garden of my own---and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.
              As I said,we were at a dinner party.There must have been a dozen other guests,but I broke an important rule of politeness.I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.
              Midnight came,I said good night to everyone and departed.The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me,including that I was a“most interesting conversationalist.”
              An interesting conversationalist?I had said hardly anything at all.I couldn’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject,for I didn’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks.But I had done this one thing:I had listened carefully.I listened because I was really interested.And he felt it.Naturally that pleased him.That kind of listening is one of the the best ways to show respect to others,and it makes them feel great too.“Few human beings,”wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love,“can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.”I went even further than that.I was“sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise.”
              I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed.I had.I told him I wished I had his knowledge.I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him.What’s more,it was all true.
              And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when,in reality,I had been merely a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.

            • 8. A week ago,I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book,When Money Talks,Listen!By Rich Ezzo.It took only about an hour to read.
              When I first received a copy,I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication.Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick,but my mind just doesn’t run after dreams of wealth.I think that if God ever wants me to be rich,he knows where to find my purse.
              When I began reading When Money Talks,Listen!,I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either.He,too,is hungry far more important than money.
              Since I love this e-book so much,why wait a week to write the review?Simple.I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper.After reading the last word of the e-book,I totally agreed with the subtitle (副标题) which promised to forever change the way we thought about money.I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install (安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture,then I yielded (让路) them as a few ones arrived in town.I had a mental traffic jam,which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.
              It has been a week and the effect is the same.I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week.This is an e-book you’ll want to read,I promise.I often recommend books to my daughter,and this is one that I didn’t just“suggest”-I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one,“Read it,you’ll love it.”
              I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself.I strongly advise you to visit the author’s website,Myster Money,and to download the e-book.You won’t regret it.

              43.The author wrote this passage to    
              A.strongly recommend an e-book
              B.show the author’s attitude to money
              C.introduce the general idea of an e-book
              D.point out Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry
              44.According to the passage,a Get Rich Quick type of publication    
              A.is more popular than e-books
              B.deals with how to make money
              C.is what the author really cares for
              D.is also an e-book written by Rich Ezzo
              45.Why didn’t the author write the review as soon as he finished reading the book?    
              A.Because he was not sure whether he did well.
              B.Because he was too excited to write anything.
              C.Because he had to wait for Rich Ezzo’s permission.
              D.Because he wondered if it would have long influence on him.
              46.Which of the following is supported by the passage?    
              A.The author had known Rich Ezzo before.

              C.The author likes Get Rich Quick type of publications.
              D.The author hasn’t dreamed of getting rich immediately.
            • 9. Three Boys and a Dad
              Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park,”he’d told his wife.“I’ll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom.”
              Things started well,but just after eight o’clock,his three little“good kids”-Mike,Randy,and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted“breakfast,daddy.”When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted“Where’s my toast,where’s my toast”in the background.Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
              Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someone named“Not Me”had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.
              By ten o’clock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
              At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre (日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”The answer was obviously“yes”because Brad was smiling.

            • 10. They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives.If one falls.the other is there to catch him.

                   During the climb,Corbett took the lead,hit in the metal spikes (尖状物)that guided the mpes and climbed up.Then,after Wellman pulled himself up the rope,Corbell went down to remors the spikes and clmbed up again.This process was repeated time and again,inch by ipch,for 13days.Wellman’s job was not easy either,He got himself up the rope through uppor body strength alone.In all,Wellman figured that he had done 5.000pull-ups up the rope on the clich.

                   Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth.At one point,pieces of rock gave way,and Corbett dropped down quickly.Wellman locked their rope in place,stopping the fall at 20 feet.His quick action probably saved his friend’s life.
              “Your partner can save your life-you can save your partner’s life.”Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends“there are real close tic.”
