              【2】Recently,the two had been out on their customary walk and the dog suddenly began crying.Mole pulled Llamas over to the spot.At first Llamas thought his dog had discovered a wild animal and he asked others in the area to call 911.However,it was no wild animal appearing out of the rocks.Llamas discovered there was a man trapped.
              【3】According to Yahoo!News,the hiker,identified only as 44-year-old“Paul”in media reports,was severely dehydrated (脱水的).He had been trapped in the rocks on Mount Rubidoux for somewhere between four and six days.According to reports,the man was not sure exactly how long he had been trapped.
              【4】Reportedly,the man was trapped in a hidden location in the rocks about 100feet from the main trail.Due to the rocks,no one could see or hear him.Paul asked Llamas for water and said,“Please don’t leave me.”According to media reports he was very dehydrated and hardly conscious.Emergency services were called and the Riverside Fire Department came to the mountain and helped rescue the man.Paul is reportedly recovering in a local hospital.He has said he wants to thank Llamas and Mole for finding him,which ultimately saved his life.His doctors believe he will be OK and will make a full recovery.

            • 2. About a year ago,I went to stay at a Detroit hotel.I didn't want to carry too much money with me,so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.
              The next morning,however,the clerk said he knew nothing about my money.I didn't have any proof that I had given the man the money.There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
              The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk.So we did.An hour later,I went back to the desk and asked for my money.Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill,the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
              Another hour later,I put the second part of the lawyer's plan into action.This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to ask for the hundred-dollar bill once again,and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me,I said it was not true.The lawyer said to him,“I saw this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill.If you don't return it immediately,I'll be forced to call the police.“The clerk realized he had been cheated,so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
              “I don't know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,”I said to the lawyer.And what do you suppose he answered?He said,“Oh,don't thank me.That will be a hundred dollars,please.”

              31.What do you think a“safe”is    
              A.A box to put money or other valuables in

              32.The hotel clerk finally returned the first hundred-dollar bill to me because    
              A.the lawyer had seen everything  
              B.he was afraid of going to prison
              C.the bill was not real money   
              D.I had called the police

              C.How I lost my money   
              D.At a Detroit hotel.
            • 3. In 1943,when I was 4,my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene,Idaho,to Fairbanks,Alaska,where adventure was never very far away.
              We arrived in the summer,just in time to enjoy the midnight sun.All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden.Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off,so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.
              Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk.That left me in a mess.I usually managed to find some trouble to get into.Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel.I had tried to light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going.The smoke got pretty bad,though,and when I made my exit,a crowd and the police were there to greet me.The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
              Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me,and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me.I hadn’t turned 5yet.
              As I entered kindergarten,the serious cold began to set in.Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail(扶手)at school?
              As for Leonhard Seppala,famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者),I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday.At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was,but I do remember the ride well.I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
              In 1950,we moved back to Coeur d’Alene,but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

              D.His mother didn’t have any jobs.
              47.What happened when the author was four?    
              A.He nearly caused a fire accident.
              B.He was arrested by the police.

              D.He learned to smoke.
              48.When the author entered kindergarten,he    
              A.liked to surprise people

              C.had an accident   
              D.lost his tongue

            • 4. 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.
            • 5. 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.
            • 6. 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.

              35.Why did the author decide to look for a job on her own?    
              A.Because she believed that her family were not willing to help her.
              B.Because she was a widowed mother struggling against poverty.
              C.Because she wanted to get some professional experience by herself.
              D.Because she thought her family didn't want her to become a cook.
              36.What did the author feel on her way?    
              A.Excited but worried.
              B.Nervous and excited.
              C.Easy and curious.
              D.Helpless but excited.
              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.
              38.According to the text,what would the author most probably do after the call?    
              A.Read some cookery books.
              B.Call her family and tell them the news.
              C.Go to the woman's house.
              D.Buy what the woman told her at once.
            • 7. When the one-year anniversary of my mother’s passing came around,I found myself in the kitchen preparing some of her favorite dishes.
              As I poured myself into cooking,some of the deep sadness I was experiencing at this one-year mark moved through me.I loved my mom's turkey soup.I remembered the time she made some especially for me.It was summer then and I had a terrible head cold.She arrived unexpectedly one afternoon at my work place with a huge jar of her turkey noodle soup.At the thought,I began to feel a little more relieved in the pain of losing her.
              It was then that I realized I was reconnecting with my mother through food.I laughed a bit at myself when I reflected on all the dishes I had cooked that week.Without knowing it,I had created a beautiful ceremony to honor my mother and to comfort myself at this vulnerable(脆弱的) time.I suddenly felt my mother at hand and was filled with her presence.I was so uplifted and excited that I began talking to her,imagining she was there.
              “What else should we make?”I asked of us both,wanting to keep the ceremony from ending.
              “Irish Potato Pancakes,”was the reply.
              I hesitated.The thought of these brought up another loss.The last time I made potato pancakes was two and a half years ago.I had taken off my engagement (订婚) ring and never found it again.Since then,I resisted using that recipe even though I really liked those pancakes as if it were partly to blame.
              My mom should know better than to suggest these,I thought.She knew how upset I was about losing my ring.But despite these hesitations,I found myself caught up in the joy and celebration of the moment,and I reached for the cookbook without another thought of the ring.My mom did love Irish things.I opened the cookbook and turned to the pancake recipe.At once,something at the bottom of the page caught my eye…It was shining!Amazingly,there,pressed into the pages of this book,was my diamond ring!
              That day,I made potato pancakes in the shape of hearts.

            • 8. The sun is setting like a huge orange ball.It’s the cool evening on a stretch of beach.The water is paring the shore,the breeze is blowing slightly.There are one or two joggers and a couple of fishermen.Most people have gone home for the day.
              An old man,with rounded shoulders,bushy eyebrows,and bony features,carries the bucket up to the dock(码头)that goes out into the water.He stands on the dock and all of a sudden there come a mass of dancing dots-seagulls!The man takes out of his bucket handfuls of shrimps(虾)and begins to throw them on the dock.Some seagulls land on his shoulders,some land on his hat,and they eat the shrimps.Long after the shrimps are gone his feathered friends remain.
              Why is this man feeding seagulls?What could push him to do this as he does week after week?
              The man in that scene is Eddie Rickenbacher,a famous World WarⅡpilot.His plane.The Flying Fortress,went down in 1942.No one could imagine that he and his eight passengers should escape death by climbing into two boats for thirty days.They fought thirst,the sun,and sharks.But what nearly killed them was starvation.Their foods were gone within eight days and they didn’t have anything left.
              Every day Rickenbacher and the passengers would have a daily afternoon devotional and prayer time.One day after the devotional,Rickenbacher put his hat over his eyes and tried to get some sleep.Within a few moments he felt something on his head.He knew in an instant it was a seagull.All the others on the two boats noticed the seagull.No one spoke,no one moved.Rickenbacher quickly grabbed the seagull and with thanksgiving,they ate the flesh of the bird.They used the remains for fish bait(鱼饵)and survived.

              56.When evening falls,the beach is    
              A.noisy and crowded
              B.quiet and peaceful 
              C.a place for viewing seagulls
              D.a popular fishing place
              57.The old man comes to the dock to feed seagulls because he    
              A.wants to make friends with them           
              B.owes his survival in 1942 to the seagull
              C.takes it as a hobby after retirement as a pilot  
              D.enjoys foe scene of seagulls eating the shrimps

            • 9. She was dancing.My lame grandmother was dancing.I stood in the living room doorway,looking at her beautiful movements,absolutely shocked.She was the pet of the dancing world.And then she’d had her accident and it was all over.I had read that in an old newspaper article.
              “So…Your leg?I mean,how did your leg heal (恢复健全)?”
              “To tell you the truth-my legs have been well all my life,”she sighed.
              “But I don’t understand!”I said,“Your dancing career (事业)…You pretended all these years?”
              ”Very much so,and for a very good reason.”
              She thought for a while and then continued.“We were talking about engagement (订婚) when your grandfather had to go to war.I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance.I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good.Critics praised me,the public loved me,but all I could feel was the ache in my heart,not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return.Then one day a letter came.There were only three sentences:‘I have lost my leg.I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom.It is best you forget about me.”
              “I made my decision there and then.I traveled away from the city.When I returned I had bought myself a stick.I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again.My dancing days were over.No one doubted the story-I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走) convincingly before I returned home.And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well.Then I traveled to the hospital.They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair.I took a deep breath,leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
              “I showed him newspaper articles of my accident.‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there!But I am not going to carry you.You are going to walk yourself.’”
              “I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I’d taken out of my pocket.‘Now show me you are still a man.’I said.He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair.He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
              “What did you show him?”I had to know.Grandma looked at me and smiled.“Two engagement rings,of course.I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”
