Once I spoke at a high school. After the speech, the principal asked me to see a special student. An     1   had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.

He was Matthew.   2  he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told    3  would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. He spoke about   4  and succeeding and seeking(追寻)his dreams.

When we finished talking, I went to my    5 and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about    6   and overcoming obstacles(克服障碍)than I ever would. He looked at it for a while, then took it off and handed it   7  to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I got the news that Matthew had   8   and a letter Matthew had written to me a few days before:

Dear Rick,

My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter. The doctors are   9  to tell me that I don't have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.

I told you that in the future I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I'll      10   . I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.

Thank you for loving me.

Your friend

Matthew

I never wanted a dog, but now I'm so glad I have one. About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her Gertie.
Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I dicided that the dog would be trained. This didn't quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾)so loudly that I hardly got a good night's sleep.
Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was unable to stop it. My behaviour(行为方式)began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I returned(招手)from neighbours. I started calling my kids, and to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing.
My wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behaviour. Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown.I have come to like the pet little by little, though she is my wife's dog.
【小题1】What did the man think of the dog at the beginning?

A.It looked very beautiful.
B.It wasn't very lovely.
C.It wasn't necessary to be trained.
D.It could change his life.
【小题2】When did the man's behaviour begin to change?
A.About two years ago.
B.When Gertie was nearly two years old.
C.When Gertie was 15 weeks old.
D.About six months after Gertie arrived.
【小题3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the man's change?
A.He began to smile at people
B.He liked helping his neighbours.
C.He started calling his kids.
D.He spoke to his grandchildren over the phone.
【小题4】What can we learn from this passage?
A.The dog has been trained very well.
B.The man has become more confident.
C.The man has become more friendly.
D.The man likes the dog better than his wife.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I __31__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could __32__ have that money.

  On my birthday my parents told me they had my __33__ outside in the back yard. At once, I __34__ out to the yard. There was my bike, __35__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so __36__! I thought I __37__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment __38__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I __39__ the old bike and rode it, feeling __40__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’ t __41__.

  As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me __42__ much more than just a rusty(生锈的)old bike. They gave me a life lesson about __43__. When you give something out of love, it doesn’ t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this __44__ because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that __45__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable(有价值的)than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

No More Time Out

Shawn and Thomas had always been good friends. They lived near each other, and they both loved __36__.They played baseball, touch football, and kickball. They also liked to play soccer, shoot baskets, and skateboard.

When they were in the fourth grade, though, Thomas broke his __37__ in a soccer game. He had to be on crutches for six weeks.

Shawn __38__ Thomas, but what was there to do? Shawn didn’t like television or computer games. Thomas didn’t like to sit and talk. After trying three times to start a conversation, Shawn __39__ up. He said, “I’m out of here.”

For days, Shawn __40__at home, feeling guilty for not visiting Thomas again. Thomas stayed home, too, feeling __41__because Shawn wasn’t visiting him. After a week, Shawn’s mom spoke up. “It’s time for you and Thomas to get back into action! That’s why I spoke to Ms McNulty at the library. She has the perfect volunteer job for you both,” she said.

Shawn said __42__.

His mom continued, “The library sells used books to raise money. People are always __43__off books in bags and boxes. Someone has to carry the books to the storage room. Someone has to sort them into fiction (小说) and nonfiction. You and Thomas can be a team __44__.” “No, we can’t!” said Shawn. “He and I don’t want a job.” However, Shawn’s mom wouldn’t __45__ no for an answer.

Sure enough, __46__the boys began, things changed. Shawn felt strong as he carried bags and boxes through the library. Sorting books in the storage room, Thomas felt useful again. In fact, one day Thomas said, “Between you and me, Shawn, this isn’t so __47__.” Shawn smiled and agreed. They were a good team.
