1.I arrived late one night on a business trip,so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in.As I was finishing my meal,an elderly couple came in.They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces.They sat three tables from me.I was amazed at the love they showed for each other.It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter.As I paid my bill,I asked what their bill was.He told me,and I gave him $40 to pay their bill.He asked if I knew them and I told him"No,I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,"and then I left.
The next day I entered the restaurant again.After I had been seated,the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant.When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal,they were told that it had been paid.The waiter just told them what I said.They were amazed.They looked around,asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together,paid their bill and left.
I smiled and ordered my meal.About 45 minutes later,I finished my meal and was about to head out,but my waiter was nowhere to be found.I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport.She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay,because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn't have to do that,she said with a smile"Love creates Love."

分析 文章主要讲述了作者一次出差去酒店的餐厅吃饭,遇到了年老的夫妇,他们的恩爱让作者难忘,并帮他们支付账单,老夫妇又将爱传递下去为年轻情侣支付了账单,餐厅经理看到后为作者第二天的消费免单.穿插在整个故事中的就是爱,是爱让一切变得不同.

解答 56.C  细节题.根据第一段最后一句 It stuck me because it was shortly it after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart 可知,这让"我"印象深刻是因为"我"刚结束了20年的婚姻,并且心中依然感觉疼痛.因为眼前的情景使作者回忆起以前悲伤的经历,所以感到伤心.故正确答案为C.
57.B  细节题.根据第三段第四、五、六句 The waiter just told them what I said.They were amazed.They looked around,asked for the bill of of two young couples who were seated together,paid their bill and left 可知,这对老夫妇很惊讶.他们环顾四周,要了坐在了一起两个年轻夫妻的账单,支付了账单然后离开了.因此他们支付账单是听了作者说的话,并想要爱传递下去.故正确答案为B.
58.D 主旨题.文章主要讲述了作者一次出差去酒店的餐厅吃饭,遇到了年老的夫妇,他们的恩爱让作者难忘,并帮他们支付账单,老夫妇又将爱传递下去为年轻情侣支付了账单,餐厅经理看到后为作者第二天的消费免单.穿插在整个故事中的就是爱,是爱让一切变得不同.故D项符合文意.A项意为"说明真爱永存",B项意为"分享一次有趣经历",C项意为"鼓励我们去帮助需要帮助的人",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.

9.My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material.It wasn't forced on us either.He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary,Addison's essays,and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them  hilarious,even at eight o'clock in the morning.The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead,but the second time,after his explanation,I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humor.The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions (典故) and irony (反讽) and hilarious moments.I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh.Some students found him to be funny.Many others did not.He assigned journals over a six week period,to be written every day.At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas,short stories,reactions to what we had read,and so on.Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other's journals.Mine was passed to Joe,that class clown,who always behaved in a funny or silly way.He saw it fit to make joke of and said,"This writing isn't fit to line (衬垫) the bottom of a birdcage."Our teacher laughed at that funny remark.It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.
So what makes the difference?Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have.It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing,or it can tear them apart.It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.

56.The passage mainly discussesC.
A.teaching         B.literature
C.humor            D.knowledge
57.The underlined word"hilarious"in Paragraph 1probably meansA.
A.funny             B.tiring
C.inspiring         D.brilliant
58.The English teacher the writer disliked mostB.
A.was not able to make students laugh
B.hurt his students'feelings
C.didn't let his students do the grading
D.had no sense of humor.
16.Hi,Nancy!Thank you for writing to me.I enjoy getting letters from students in China and I'll be happy to exchange letters with you.
The first thing I want to tell you is that if the boys are calling you names it is their fault,not yours.Boys,at your age,are different from girls.They are trying to prove that they are manly and they often do this by choosing someone who can't really fight back.This is,of course,wrong but it happens and it is generally referred to as bullying.In general,the boys know they are bigger and stronger than you are,so they can make fun of you and make you cry and then laugh about it.If you let them see that they are hurting you,they will only do it more.It isn't that they want to hurt you; they simply want to make themselves feel superior.It's stupid but it is very common.
The best way of getting the boys to stop calling you names is to simply ignore them,knowing that the names can't hurt you and that the boys are being stupid.If you can laugh at them,they will get tired of trying to make you cry.Then they will give up and begin to notice you as a young woman.I suspect some of them actually like you and are laughing at you just to get your attention.Again,it's stupid but it happens.In reality,you can control this situation by not letting them see you getting hurt.Laugh at them,tell them they are acting like children and they should grow up and then walk away with your head held high.
One more thing,Nancy.It is very important that you stop hurting yourself.If someone else hurts you it is bad enough but you shouldn't make it worse by then hurting yourself.Even sticking a pen into your finger can cause an infection and give you a lot of trouble and besides,it hurts.The next time you are frustrated by a bunch of stupid boys,write to me.You and I can talk about anything you like,about China,about Canada,about travel,anything.Having a conversation with me is better than sticking holes in your fingers,as least I hope it is.
I wish you all the best and I hope to hear from you again soon.If you get a chance,please send me your picture.
Best wishes.
Brad

6.Whale Wars
    As I was looking through the channels I came upon something called Whale Wars.What a bunch of stupid people.I really don't believe these people are thinking straight.I know they are not thinking straight because one of the questions the captain asks of all new members or those who want to be members is this:Are you willing to die for a whale?One more time,just in ease you were not paying attention.Are you willing to die for a whale?No,I am not willing to die for a whale-are yon crazy?I don't mind jumping in there to help out on a cause,but to die for a whale or even any kind of animal is beyond my understanding.These people believe strongly enough in this cause to say"Yes,yes,I will die for a whale".The countries involved in the whaling industry do this because it is a way to make a living and support their families.The last thing they need is to have a bunch of stupid people trying to disable their ship.
    A lot of the organizations out there say that whaling has to be stopped immediately without question.However,disabling these fishing boats will only stop the so-called problem temporarily.
  The point is this:It is so very easy for people to say stop the whaling!OK,you stop the whaling.What is your answer for an alternative to whaling?I'm waiting.How do you want these people to support their families and help fuel the economy in which they live?A lot of people want the whaling to stop,but they have little or nothing to offer as an alternative for them.You cannot just say stop something and then that is the end of the problem.
  Yes,I am picking on the"save the planet"people again.I will continue to do so until they can come up with better ideas on how to save the planet without putting people and what they own in harm's way.Destroying another person's things and putting them in a possible life or death situation is not the answer.
  Until whaling countries can figure something else out to cure this so-called problem,there really isn't a lot that can be done.Until this happens,I say raise the anchor,set the main sail and WHALE AWAY!

13.Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards.They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you.Yet as I selected and read,it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You'll soon be 84 years old,Dad,and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together.I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.
You know,Dad,there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap.You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear(档位)when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy(雪佛兰) whether you liked it or not.The police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen didn't have much tolerance(容忍) for a stubborn 16-year-old girl,while you were so tolerant about it,Dad,and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship picked up when I married a man you liked,and things really turned around when we began making babies.Somewhere along the line,the generation gap disappeared.I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together,rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week.I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car.It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and weak behind the wheel of that huge car.It was rather like a slap(打) in the face delivered from out of nowhere.Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say,Dad,is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today.Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking.It's about loving someone more than words can say,and it's my wish that it never had to end.
I love you,Dad.
Love,

10.Compassion is a desire within us to help others.With effort,we can translate compassion into action.An experience last weekend showed me this is true,I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn't help staring at him,I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world,I told him that I was sorry,but store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.If anything,he looked more pitiable."Charge it to me"was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft and safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either,then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself.I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

11.A cat is recovering in California after surviving a 6,500-mile journey across the Pacific stowed inside a Chinese shipping container without food or water.Staff and volunteers have named it"Ni Hao,"which is Chinese for"hello."
It was discovered breathing shallowly after a two-week trip across the Pacific Ocean.The cat was seriously suffering from loss of water and starvation when the container was opened in California last week,but was said to be doing well after being sent to the Carson Animal Care Center in Los Angeles.At first it was too weak to stand,but finally took its first steps.Then it ate a good meal and slept soundly.The cat woke up Thursday morning,physically in a better condition than 24 hours ago.
"Ni Hao greeted the medical team with its first miaow this morning and is attempting to stand,"said Marcia Mayeda,head of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control.Aaron Reyes,director of the Department,added:"We finally got to hear its voice.It sounds like a single-engine plane."
Ni Hao is expected to be observed for 60 days but afterwards animal workers will look forward to providing it with a good shelter."It's much better for it to recover in a home environment,"Mr Reyes said."It's just like a human being in a hospital so we're hoping to move it."He added:"Little by little we're getting there.We're hoping that under the treatment and with rest,it'll be able to recover quickly.''
It was not immediately clear how the cat got into the container.
