It was pouring outside. We all stood there   26   , some patiently , others annoyed   27   nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens  28    away the dirt and dust of the world.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    29  me.
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it   30   down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and    31  : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she  32    her Mom’s arm.
“This morning?   33   did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,” If God can get us through this, he can get us through   34  .”
The entire crowd turned   35  . Mom paused and thought for a moment about    36  she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being   37   . But then we heard, “Honey, you are   38  . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then    39  they ran.
We all stood    40 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were   41   by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the   42   to their cars. Circumstances (境况) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your   43  . But no one can ever take away your precious   44  . So, don’t forget to make time and take the   45   to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

试题分析：
小题1:B。外面下雨了，人们都在躲雨，等候雨停。下文母亲的话“We’ll wait until...”也给出了提示。从后半句看，一些人耐心，一些人有些恼怒，所以不能说大家都在抱怨。
小题2:C。别的人恼怒，当然因为大自然的突然降雨打乱了他们正常的工作生活节奏。
小题3:D。雨水冲刷走了世界上的尘土和脏物。
小题4:A。catch me相当于catch my attention，“引起了我的注意力”，因为此前我正沉醉于雨水带来的感受中。并没有让我恼怒，也谈不上给我留下了很深的印象。
小题5:A。slow down指雨下得缓和一点，不能说stop a bit，停止不存在程度上的一点。小题6:B。此句话和前面说的话一样，所以是重复了一遍。
小题7:A。小孩子想让母亲一起在雨中走，而母亲又没有答应，所以孩子要拉着母亲的手往外走。
小题8:C。从女儿的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母亲是问小孩自己是什么时候说那话的。
小题9:C。如果上帝能让小孩的父亲度过这一难关，则能让他们度过任何“难关”。
小题10:B。still一动不动；silent沉默，不出声。对于小孩的这一天真美好的愿望，大家显然都事先没有想到，所以都在沉默，并静观下面事情的发展。
小题11:A。what引导宾语从句，what在句中充当say的宾语，母亲在考虑要和女儿怎么说。
小题12:B。母亲知道，孩子说出的话，在一些人看来肯定会是有点傻的，因为上帝是不存在的，这种愿望只是一种幻想。dishonest不诚实的，欺骗的。孩子的说法是一种美好愿望，当然算不上是欺骗。
小题13:A。母亲不愿破坏孩子的童真，所以表示赞同“你是对的”，是肯定孩子的话就是自己讲过的话，而不是说孩子聪明。
小题14:A。run off跑开。此处强调off，故把这个词提前。
小题15:D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling，laughing可以看出母女的行为已引起了人们的关注，他们都在看着母女俩在雨中跑。
小题16:A。从定语从句可知，母女的行为也感染了其他的人，又有几个人也加入她们的行列，在雨中奔跑。follow跟着。
小题17:B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。这几个人一边跑一边又叫又笑，很兴奋。
小题18:C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父亲得癌症了，所以说境况可以带走人们的健康。
小题19:B。从下文“… make memories every day!”可知，自己创造的美好记忆是不会被带走的。
小题20:C。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住机会做某事，为固定搭配。该句的意思是“抓住创造美好记忆的机会
考点:考查人生百味类完型填空
点评：本文是从一对母女躲雨是的对话，和大家在雨中快乐的奔跑，说明我们要抓住创造美好记忆的机会，文章内容浅显，主要考查在上下文中对词义的辨析理解，要求考生有一定的思维转换能力。对于文章的上下文串联有较强的理解，语法规则的使用和辨析要求较高。

“Image is everything．” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事实） behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually．
First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal （丑闻） showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm．
Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close．
To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person．But image is only half of the equation．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself —— the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．
小题1:The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ________．
A．its dishonesty in businessB．its previous images
C．its bad managementD．its poor service
小题2:Why did some famous people fall from grace?
A．Their images were not well built up
B．They failed to live up to their images．
C．They felt much pressure from the public
D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．
小题3:The structure of the passage is ________．
A: Argument              P: Point               C: Conclusion

小题4:The author tries to argue that _________．
A．image creates everythingB．image is the key to success
C．truth is unlikely ever to be equaledD．truth and image are equally important

Thid is a true story of a mother’s sacrifice(牺牲) in an earthquake.
When the rescuer reached the ruins of a young man’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. Her pose was somehow strange—she knelt(跪) on the ground like a person who was worshiping(祷告);her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. However, the cold and stiff body told them that she had passed away for sure.
The rescuers left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reason, the team leader was driven by a strong force to go back to the ruined house. Again, he knelt down to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement, “A child! There is a child1”
The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3-month-old little boy wrapped in a blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made great sacrifice in order to save her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.
A doctor came quickly to examine the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cellphone inside the blanket.There was a text massage on the screen. It said, “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Everybody that read the massage cried

Tom was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career
made him a depressed man, often complaining that others had been playing tricks on him. One day he told his wife he was so   16  with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to    17   city. It was in the evening of aweekend when Tom and his wife were busy   18  up their new home
   19 the light suddenly went out. So they had to  20  work. Tom was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait   21 in a low mood. Just then he heard slight, hesitant knocks on his door that sounded clear in the   22 night.
“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom had no   23 in the new city.
And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed.   24 , he went reluctantly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have   25  ? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Tom in anger and shut the door violently. “What a nuisance!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down   26  the neighbor came to   27  things.” After a while, the door was knocked   28 . He opened it and found the same girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She   29  me here to give you these.” Tom was very   30  by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said, “Thank you and your  31  . God bless you!”
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his   32 in life. It
was his  33 and harshness(刻薄)with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was   34   nobody else but himself, for he had fallen for his unsympathetic   35 .

Have you ever wanted to feel like you were in a western film? Or maybe you wanted to feel like you were a pioneer traveling the west? It is possible to experience such things during a Wild West vacation! Here are four of the best Wild West vacation locations available:
Walk the Lewis and Clark Trail
Walk some or all of the 3,700 miles trail that was traversed by Mariwether Lewis and William Clark, two of the world’s greatest explorers. Though not all the trails are marked, there are various stops that have been preserved by various historic societies. There is also a coach (长途客车) that makes a 16-day trek following the trail. This begins in St. Louis, Missouri, and ends in Astoria, Oregon.
Venture Route 66
Take a tour or go to see it yourself — ride on the famous Route 66. The road is nearly 2,500 miles long. Harley Davidson offers motorcycle tours that last two weeks. Route 66 will provide an experience that may only be found on the open road. The historic road is still well taken care of.
Visit the Grand Canyon
Visit the greatest canyon in the world, located in Northern Arizona. Raft down the Colorado River, or hike the various trails that run throughout the canyon. If walking is not your thing, there are donkey and horse riding adventures available. In addition, there are motorized boats that float down through the canyon in a week’s time.
Visit Deadwood
Located in South Dakota, Deadwood is a historic landmark. It is the kind of town that comes to mind when one thinks of an old western film. Actors who act as gunslingers (杀手) will often be seen in the streets playing their roles. Winter activities are popular in this old town, and there is always something to do.
小题1:The underlined word “trek” (Para 2) can be replaced by      .
A．beautiful sceneryB．traveling information
C．pleasant holidayD．long and hard journey
小题2:Which of following riding adventures can tourists take on Route 66?              
A．A horse riding adventure.B．A coach riding adventure.
C．A motorcycle riding adventure.D．A donkey riding adventure.
小题3:If you want to hike various trails you are advised to      .
A．visit the Grand CanyonB．visit Deadwood
C．venture Route 66D．walk the Lewis and Clark Trail
小题4:What do we know from the passage?
A．A number of historic stops aren’t protected well.
B．William Clark was a pioneer who explored the west.
C．Western films are the most popular among Americans.
D．None of the trails in the west are marked.
