              The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt:"The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?"I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
              "If you come by right now," the receptionist said, "the dentist will fit you in."
              I look my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?
              In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
              When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,"Don't worry. The dentist is very good."
              "How long do I have to wait for him?"I asked impatiently.
              "Come on ,he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork," the assistant said.
              "The artwork?"I was puzzled.
              The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it :on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was !At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
              What a relief!

              It was my tenth birthday and I would have the biggest party ever. It would be a night of scary stories, pizza and lots of presents. But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night.
              The family room was a flurry of shouts and bursts of laughter when the doorbell rang. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. Everyone I liked from school was there. What did it matter, really?
              "Judy, come here for a minute," Mom called from the front door.
              I know my mouth dropped open and I could feel my face turning red, for there on the front porch stood Sarah Westly-the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class-and she was holding a gift.
              I thought about the growing guest list. How had I forgotten to invite Sarah? I remembered that I only added a name to the list when someone had shown an interest in me (like kids do when they know someone is having a party and they don't want to be left out). But Sarah had never done that. I guess I had forgotten to invite her simple because she wasn't pushing to be invited. I accepted the gift from Sarah and asked her to join the party.
              "I can't stay," she said, looking down. "My dad's waiting in the car. See you Monday."
              I stood in the foyer with Sara's gift in my hands and an empty feeling in my heart.
              I didn't open the gift until hours after the party had ended. Inside the small box was a ceramic (陶瓷的) tabby cat. In my mind, it was the best gift I had received, even though I was never really into cats. I later found out that the gift looked exactly like Sarah's cat, Seymour.
              I didn't know it then, but now I realize that Sarah was my one true childhood friend. While the other girls drifted away, Sarah was always there for me, ever loyal and supportive. Although I'll always feel bad about forgetting her, I also realize that I might not have discovered Sarah as a friend had I remembered to invite her to that unforgettable tenth birthday party.
              (1) What didn't the kids do at the birthday party? ______
              A. They sent lots of birthday gifts to Judy.
              B. They told scary stories
              C. They ate pizza.
              D. They watched movies.

              I'm very thankful to the cat and it always makes me think of the time I was with him.
              Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away, I stayed alone in his flat. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the flat.
              But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell asleep.
              The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the flat, I tried to work out what to do with him. Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed. But as soon as I opened the flat door, he ran to me and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he didn't want to go anywhere. I started calling him Willis in order to remember my father's best friend.
              From then on, things grew easier. With Willis in my lap, time seemed to pass much faster.
              When the time finally came for me to return home, I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.
              It's been five years since my father died. Over the years, several people have said how nice it was of me to rescue the cat. But I know that we rescued each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater.

              I read a lot of newspapers for my job, but the one I liked best is called The Family News. Its editor is Heather Cook of Lisle, Illinois. She is only 12years old. Heather thinks all her relatives should keep up with what everyone else in the family is doing. So every few months, she prepares The Family News and after her mother has made 50copies, Heather mails them out. They are received by 73people in 9states, who range in age from 4to 94. Because of the paper, Heather's family is joined together in a way that most families are not.
              The reason I like The Family News so much is its happy stories. Most other papers depressed me with stories about cruelty of mankind. But The Family News never fails to bring a smile to my face. Here are a few of its items:
              •"Keven is in first place in his conference in golf. He is glad!"
              •"Math got his second tooth. He crawls around the floor to get where he wants to go."
              •"Grandma, Heather and Keven cleaned up the yard and burned the leaves in the back yard. It smoked so much that there was smoke all the way up the street."
              •"Steve got a new car. It is dark blue."
              "Heather started putting out The Family News when she was seven." said her mother, Jeanne. "I didn't expect it to last. But obviously it means a lot to her, and to everyone in our family. It is a kind of collection. My brother-in-law Tom gave money to buy stamps to send it out. And my uncle Frank, who never wrote to everyone, sent Heather a letter asking her to keep the paper going because it was the most important news he got."
              Heather doesn't look on her job as a hard work. "It's fun," she says. "Whenever I can, I call people up to see what's new. Then I put it in the next issue. The best thing is hearing how much it means to my family. I plan on doing this until I get really old - at least 18!"
              (1) Heather's relatives like The Family News because ______ .
              A. the paper can make a lot of money
              B. the family members can read good news
              C. the whole family is joined together
              D. other families keep up with the paper
              (2) The word "depress" in the passage means ______ .
              A. drive sb mad
              B. make sb sad
              C. leave sb alone
              D. keep sb quiet

              A. Heather started her paper at the age of 12
              B. only small kids like to read her stories
              C. Heather had fun in putting out the paper
              D. Uncle Frank gave money to buy stamps
              (4) Heather gets the stories for her newspaper by ______ .
              A. asking her mother to help
              B. collecting something new and funny
              C. mailing her papers to other people
              D. hearing what other family members say
              (5) According to the writer, ______ .
              A. Heather's very successful at such a young age

              Last summer Nina Jain bought her son some art supplies to give him something to do.

              "Since he has paintings and he loves to do what he does, he has a reason to get up in the morning and that's really, really important," Nina says.
              Morning and night, Niam can be found in his studio, sometimes painting for hours at a time, on more than one canvas at a time.

              Death Valley,one of America's great national parks,is a place of stiange and silent heauty. As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence(迹象)of very real danger. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous extremes. There are mountains that reach more than 3,000meters into the sky. "There is a place called Badwater that is the lowest area of land in the Western Hemisphere. If there were water there,it would be 86meters below the level of the ocean.
              Death Valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months. Storms in the mountains can produce sudden flooding on the floor of the Valley. The air temperature during the summer has been as high as 57℃. The sun can heat the ground so that the temperature of the rocks and soil can be as high as 74℃. The extreme heat of Death Valley has ever killed people. It will continue to kill those who do not honor this extreme climate. Death Valley does not forgive those who are not careful.
              Death Valley is a good example of the violence(暴力)of nature. It contains evidence of several ancient volcanoes that caused huge explosions. Evidence of one of these explosions is called Ubehebe Crater. The explosion left a huge hole in the ground almost a kilometer and a half wide.
              In many areas of Death Valley it is easy to see where the ground has been pushed up strongly by movement deep in the Earth. This movement has created unusual and beautiful rock formations. Some are red. Others are dark brown,gray,yellow or black. Other areas of rock look as if some huge creature heavily broke and twisted the Earth to create unusual, sometimes frightening shapes.
              In other parts of Death Valley there are lines in the rock that show clearly that this area was deep under an ocean for many thousands of years. Much of the、alley is flat and very dry. In fact,scientists believe it is the driest place in the United States.
              Death Valley,part of the Great Mojave Desert,is a huge place. It extends more than 225kilometers across the southern part of California,and across the border with Nevada.

              A. The water in Badwater is 86meters below the level of the ocean.

              C. There might have been sea-born lives living in Death Valley.
              D. The ground has been pushed up hard by explosions of volcanoes.
              (3) Why were some people killed by Death Valley? ______
              A. Because they didn't respect Death Valley and thus they were punished.

              On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.
              Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.
              Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000and there seems to be no end yet.
              That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that's not all-thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris, who he had been unable to find for 27years.
              All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing-returning something that did not belong to him.
