I once had a teacher whose husband died of heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her __36___ understanding with students. __37___ the late afternoon sunlight came shinning in and the class was nearly __38___, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her __39___and sat down there.
With a gentle look of reflection(反思) on her face, she paused and said, “Class is over. I would like to   40  with all of you, a thought that is __41___to class, but which I feel is very __42___.”
“Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and give of ourselves. __43___of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be __44___at any moment. Perhaps this is the Power’s way of telling us that we must make the __45___of every single day.”
Her eyes were __46___ to water, but she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a __47___.From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to __48___. It could be the __49___of the breeze (微风)slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it __50___gently to the ground.
“Please look for these things, and ___51__them. It is the __52___things that we are put here on earth to enjoy. We must make it important to notice them, for at __53___it can all be taken away.” The class was completely __54___. We all picked up our books and walked out of the room silently. That __55___, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester.
Remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “__26___ would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend?

My   30   went out to him. So, I ran over to him.  31  I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it   32    , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the   33 __student of our class, one of those guys that really found  themselves during high school. Therefore he had the   34  to prepare a  35  speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was  36   .So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be   37  !” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to   38   those who helped you make it through those   39    years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  40    you can give him.”

I still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.
My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.
“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
“He’s big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (惩罚). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
“Do you want to join my gang (帮派)?” he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.
小题1:The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “          ”.
A．How old are you?
B．Where are you from?
C．Do you want to join my gang?
D．When did you come back to London?
小题2:We can learn from the passage that           .
A．boys were usually unfriendly to new students
B．the writer was not greeted as he expected
C．Brian praised the writer for his cleverness
D．the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper
小题3:The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not       .
A．noticeableB．welcomeC．importantD．foolish
小题4:The writer was offered a handkerchief because          .
A．he threw himself down and saved the goal
B．he pushed a player on the other team
C．he was beginning to be accepted
D．he was no longer a newcomer
Being beautiful means a lot to teenage girls. Once it did to me too. I was the vainest person in the world, but that all changed one December night.
It was a Thursday, and I was getting ready for the wrestling tournament the following day. I was so excited; it was going to be my first tournament as a cheerleader. I walked past the mirror and stopped to check my appearance. I noticed my eyebrows were a little bushy, and that’s when my vanity kicked in. The brows could be easily fixed with the waxing kit I had purchased. I put the jar of wax in the microwave. But instead of heating the wax for 30 seconds, I pressed too many zeros and heated it for three minutes. As I reached for the jar, I dropped it, spilling it all over myself.
My mother came running when she heard my screams. The hot wax was rolling down my face and arm. My mom took a wet washcloth and tried to wash the wax off my face. This proved to be a bad idea, because the wax was honey based, and it pulled my skin off with the wax.
The 15-mile drive to the emergency room seemed to take hours. When we finally arrived, the nurse didn’t waste any time. They took me straight to a doctor and gave me extra-strength painkillers, so my mind was in confusion. The doctor explained how severe my burns really were: my arm was a combination of first-, second- and third-degree burns, and needed to stay bandaged. My face was first- and second-degree burns. If the wax had gotten any closer to my right eye, I would have lost my sight. I was covered in multi-colored “goop(药膏)”, wrapped, and sent home to recover.
I got up the next morning and the first thing I wanted to do was wash off the remaining wax. I unwrapped the bandages and “degooped”, letting warm water gently remove the rest of the wax. The next step was to do a self-evaluation of the damage. I couldn’t believe how horrible I looked. A horror-movie monster stared back at me from the mirror. All I could think was, my life is over. For someone as vain as me, this was very true. I thought I was going to be horribly disfigured(毁容的)for the rest of my life! All I could do was cry.
My mom made it worse by forcing me to go out in public. She dragged me to the grocery store and wherever else she felt like taking me. Everywhere we went, people had a million questions, none of which I wanted to answer. Then my mom declared she was going to put me through even more torture—I had to go to school on Monday. School only led to more questions from more people.
Now, two years later, my wounds have healed, leaving a few scars. I still feel self-conscious if I don’t wear make-up, and I’ve discovered that three-quarter length sleeves are wonderful for covering the scars on my arm.
After spending several months adjusting to this injury, I realized how vain I was. I had made beauty important, but it never was or will ever be that important. It took this event to teach me that no matter how much you change on the outside, you’re still the same person on the inside. 
小题1:After the accident, the writer has come to realize that ________.
A．teenage girls care too much about their appearance
B．loving beauty will necessarily make one disfigured
C．we can never judge a person merely by one’s looks
D．sometimes being beautiful can cost you something
小题2:Which of the four statements is a fact?
A．The severe damage to her sight and face weren’t recovered.
B．The mother wished the writer to face her misfortune bravely.
C．From the lesson we conclude that “once bitten, twice frightened”.
D．The severe burns were caused by her mother’s lack of first-aid.
小题3:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is closest to ________.
A．beauty is not everythingB．a student shall not make up
C．beauty is not importantD．loving beauty will spoil you
小题4:The author develops her composition by ________.

C．using logical argumentsD．representing own experiences
小题5:Which of the following can be the best title?
A．The Price of VanityB．An Unexpected Ending

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
小题1:What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D．Stories for children are easy to remember.
小题2:The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
A．presenting research findings
B．setting down general rules
C．making a comparison
D．using examples
小题3:According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
A．a result of overlearning
B．a special case of cramming
C．a skill to deal with math problems
D．a basic step towards advanced studies
小题4:What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A．It leads to failure in college exams.
B．It's helpful only in a limited way.
C．It's possible to result in poor memory.
D．It increases students' learning interest.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as a result or product that can easily be identified (识别) and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected obstacles (障碍). In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is extremely important to our ability to grow. Do we notice ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity (无把握) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
小题1:Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing? 
A．Helen was always willing to accept challenges.
B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.
C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.
D．Father’s salary rose from 5,000 to 7,000.
小题2:For personal growth, the writer is in favor of ________.
A．being cautious(谨慎的) with changes
B．having little interest in new things
C．staying away from failures and challenges
D．having an open mind to new experiences
小题3:How do you understand the last sentence of this passage? 
A．We are trapped and injured.
B．Our body is trapped and stops growing.
C．We get stuck in what we are doing and can not achieve real growth.
D．We can’t protect ourselves and are trapped by others.
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text? 
A．Facing New ChallengesB．Growth—Product or Process
C．Two Basic Ways of GrowthD．Overcoming Fears

Yesterday was my stepmom’s birthday. I hadn’t been home for a long time so I wanted to stop by the house to see her on this special day.
I have been struggling financially so I was afraid of the long trip. Gas is so expensive nowadays! Anyway, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I stopped at the shopping mall and found a present. It was the perfect gift and I knew she
would love it. But when I got to the cashier my card was declined! I did not have enough money in my account to pay for the gift!
So I pondered the issue for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something cheaper, but I knew there was nothing else in the store she would like as much. So, I got on my smart-phone and transferred some money from my savings account so I was able to pay for the gift. It took a big chunk of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
She loved the gift and I felt that even though I had spent almost all my money my stepmom deserved the best and I was glad I gave her the best that I could.
Before leaving my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret hand-shake, he gave me some money. I had not said anything to him about my finances but I guess my dad had just known it. When I got to the car, I saw the amount he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift!
It goes to show that doing the right thing always comes with great rewards.
小题1:Why was the writer unwilling to have a long trip？
A．Because gas was hardly available.B．Because the writer was short of money.
C．Because the writer didn’t like driving.D．Because the road was difficult to drive on.

B．the gift the writer bought was loved by his/her father very much
C．the writer spent all his/her savings buying the gift for his/her stepmom
D．the gift the writer bought was the most expensive one in the shop
小题4:Why did the writer’s father shake hands with the writer in secret?
A．Because he wanted to ask the writer for something special.
B．Because he wanted to give the writer some money.
C．Because he knew the writer had been struggling financially.
D．Because he didn’t want others to copy their handshake.
