In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack on the State of Yue. The king of Wu was badly hurt and soon died. His son Fu Chai became the new king. Fu was very sad and angry and he decided to fight back for his father’s death. He trained his army strictly until it was very strong. Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who was taken to the State of Wu.
Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house which was full of terrible smell and was made to raise(饲养) horses. Gou worked hard and tried to keep himself quiet, but he never forgot his pain. Many years later, he was set free. Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state. In order to make himself strong-minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder before having dinner and going to bed every night. After a few years, his country became strong once more. Then Gou took hold of a golden chance to fight against Wu and won the war in the end.
If one voluntarily(自愿) works very hard and voluntarily stands up to pains and difficulties in order to succeed, we might call him a“Gou Jian”, and his story, a“Gou Jian’s story”.
小题1: Three years later _______ was caught and taken to the state of Wu.

How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves（奴隶）."
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring（量） the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable（可靠的） ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit（收益）?
小题1:According to the passage, collecting antique clocks____.
A．can hardly keep the value of your savings
B．will cost much of your savings
C．may increase your wealth
D．needs your bravery
小题2:By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to____.
A．suggest human beings are controlled by a clock
B．describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth
C．tell readers what clocks look like
D．compare chocks to human beings
小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?
A．Counting the beating of one's own heart.
B．Making use of candles, sand and water.
C．Observing shadows cast by the sun.
D．Keeping slaves busy day and night.
小题4:The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph（段落）4 means_________.
A．state-owned houses
B．houses in very good condition
C．grand houses open to the public
D．houses where statesmen meet regularly
小题5:The purpose of the passage is________.
A．to introduce the culture of antique clocks
B．to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks
C．to compare different ways to make a future profit
D．to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time
We always regard dogs as man’s best friends. But what about cats?
Cats can also do us a favor sometimes.
Here is a comparison of the two animals.
A Friend Helps You When You’re Sick
Dogs
When Catherine lay down on the sofa, Pepe stared(盯) into her eyes and kept sniffing(嗅). After being pushed away, he suddenly jumped onto her chest. That’s when Catherine felt a pain that made her visit a doctor, and a fast-growing cancer was found. Months later, however, Pepe started staring and sniffing again. It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread.

Cats
Bernice says: “I was sleeping in my bedroom, and then I was woken by Joey screaming and running”. Then she found smoke around her. With Joey helping her, she managed to get out of the door.

My friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to get my      , which was parked at my office three streets away.
My friends        that I shouldn’t go, mainly because I was seven months pregnant(怀孕) then. I promised them that I’d be very      . One of them wanted to come with me but I asked her to stay with another friend who needed help         her baby.
I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a van stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right      me and told me he’d escort(护送)me. Although I refused, he said that he would.
　　During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was        . When we got to the car park, I thanked him and he went away. I did not get his name and can        recognize(认出) him now. Did he stop for me? I’ll never know.
　　So how did I pay it forward? I was at home when I noticed two Indian workers       in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the working place near my home. I went out and passed them my      . I told them they should take and keep it. They were surprised by my action. They were very grateful to me, probably          why a stranger was offering such kindness. I was so relaxed and happy that day.
