      One-hundred-and seventh birthdays aren't usually celebrated for authors who aren't alive anymore.
But Theodor Seuss Geisel-better known as the children's books author Dr. Seuss -who came into the
world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.
     Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my
children it's not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with
a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm (韵律) with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:
     You have brains in your head
     You have feet in your shoes
     You can steer yourself any direction you choose
     And will you succeed?
     Yes indeed, yes indeed!
     Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.
     Seuss's brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they attract mostly
children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.
     The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s.
Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax "who speaks for the trees" battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the
forest and make goods "which everyone needs".
     It's not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it's also a smart analysis of consumer societies: "Unless someone like you cares
a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want.
I could go on, but hey, it's a birthday, and I'm sure you folks have some good toasts to raise for the party…
1. What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce Dr. Seuss's life.          
B. To analyze Dr. Seuss's books.
C. To describe Dr. Seuss's writing style.
D. To celebrate Dr. Seuss's achievements.
2. Why does the author include Dr. Seuss's poem? 
A. To encourage readers to use their brains and choose their own way.
B. To give readers a sample of Seuss's story The Lorax.
C. To provide readers with an example of Seuss's writing style.
D. To explain how relevant Seuss's stories remain today.
3. Why do adults also enjoy Seuss's books? 
A. His words and pictures are imaginative enough to be enjoyed by all.
B. His books give children obvious moral messages to learn from.
C. He writes about adult topics in a way that is understandable to children.
D. He was the first person to write about the environment.
4. When was the book The Lorax written?
A. Early 1960s.    
B. Early 1970s.  
C. Late 1960s.  
D. Late 1970s.
5. Which of the following is true about Seuss?  
A. Many of the issues he discussed attracted greater concern in later years.
B. He is widely considered as the twentieth-century Shakespeare.
C. His books are more popular now than when they were first published.
D. Most readers thought his ideas were difficult to understand.

     Franz Kafka wrote that "a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. "I once
shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn't seem to require any explanation.
     We'd just finished John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together
out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. "Are you
crying?" one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. "I am," I told her, "and
the funny thing is I've read it many times."
     But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always
going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I've taught
kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents
themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand,
more than I ever will, the novel's terrible logic-the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).
     For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works
of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to
my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective
high school-one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan's upper classes-into a
less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt
uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional "cultural capital" could help students
like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first
time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D.'s.
     Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies,
Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.
The students didn't always read from the expected point of view.
     About The Red Pony, one student said, "it's about being a man, it's about manliness. "I had never
before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth's soliloquies
(独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once
introduced to Steinbeck's writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me
repeatedly how amazing it was that "all these people hate each other, and they're all white." His
historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former
students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the
classes.
     Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to
teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text
complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that
ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in
raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it
belongs to them.
1. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to ______.
A. realize our dreams          
B. give support to our life
C. smooth away difficulties    
D. awake our emotions
2. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?
A. Because they spent much time reading it.
B. Because they had read the novel before.
C. Because they came from a public school.
D. Because they had similar life experiences.
3. The girl left the selective high school possibly because_______.
A. she was a literary-minded girl      
B. her parents were immigrants
C. she couldn't fit in with her class    
D. her father was then in prison
4. To the author's surprise, the students read the novels_______.
A. creatively    
B. passively    
C. repeatedly    
D. carelessly
5. The author writes the passage mainly to_______.
A. introduce classic works of literature
B. advocate teaching literature to touch the heart
C. argue for equality among high school students
D. defend the current testing system

     Boys need friends, suffer when they don’t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and
downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in
truth, though, no boy is an island: boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence
and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.
     Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends
a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than
girls are. A recent study of 10-to-15-year-old boys and girls found that girls’ friendships are
actually more fragile(脆弱的). Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more
frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.
     Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”: they love games with rules, competition,
and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves
against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball
court. Competence and skill are widely respected: being picked last for a team or left out altogether
is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.
     As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include
girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life ---and a
part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form
close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always
there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the
friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.
1.The common belief of adults is that boys ______.   
A. don’t care about others as much as girls    
B. don’t value friendships as much as girls
C. have the same friendship as girls          
D. have healthier friendship than girls  
2.According to the passage, ______.   
A. boys usually build friendships by playing competitive games
B. boys like to have small groups of friends
C. boys’ friendships seldom result in anyone being hurt
D. boys’ friendships can hardly end in failure  
3.The author mentions the study in Para. 2 to prove _______.   
A. girls value relationships more than boys
B. most boys consider their friends very important
C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D. boys may be more active in a friendship    
4.As a boy gets older, he tends to _______.   

A. widen his circle of friends to include his parents
B. shift his focus from his friends to himself
C. leave his parents out of his friends
D. be confused about what a friendship is  

5.What’s the best title of the passage?  _______
A. Friendships Between Boys and Girls        
B. Boys and Their Friendship
C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship        
D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys

     The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear it more
and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to
Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is
down."
     "If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
     "I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
     I  looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and
staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"
     "We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with
us or not."
     So when it goes down, you go down with it."
     "That's good, sir."
     "How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
     "I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There's no way we
can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us."
      After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What
about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?"
     "I couldn't tell without asking the computer."
     "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington, " I suggested.
     " I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't
take you if you didn't have a ticket."
     "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
     "I wouldn't know, " she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT' knows. 'It' can't tell me."
     By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers
that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked
their luggage.

A. When the Computer Is Down

     It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in
different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
     How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building
blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life
builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be
troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.
     Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different
look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just
cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as
well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
     Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens,
they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that
you are loved wherever you are.
1. What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "freak out" in Paragraph 1 ?
