题目内容

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking, "I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韵律).""Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you.” One younger musician said, "There are a couple of clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year." I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative (消极的), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining(抱怨) or blaming (责备) others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends".
There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. The choice is always yours to make. Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.

A．musicians’ living conditions are not good

I first met Sean one summer day. He carried a bag    36 with four clubs(球杆)  and some balls. He was a lot   37  than other kids of his age. I heard he was   38   from cancer. Still , he always seemed to be smiling whenever I would see him with his friends, trying to  39  as far as he did.
A year or so passed and I hadn’t   40  Sean .I had heard that his cancer was   41      him. Still, his friends said he was going to come here before long.
  42  enough , he was there the following week. I   43  that one of his friends was carrying Sean’s bag. I saw Sean was having a(n)  44  time trying to drive the ball. Sean hit his last ball as hard as his fragile body would   45  .It flew up to the green and was out of sight. One of his friends   46  Sean walk up to the green. It was a(n)  47 walk because the green was higher than the tee(发球区).
Suddenly I saw one boy pick up Sean’s ball and    48  it in the hole. Then he ran and   49  to look for his own ball.
When Sean finally got to the green, he looked   50  because he thought he hit it over .
Then he glanced in the hole. A smile   51  his face! The boys looked at each other and said , “You can’t tell me it’s a hole-in-one!”
“No, really ! Look !” he said . They all acted    52  and as I watched , I thought Sean looked like the   53   guy I had ever seen. I never saw Sean or his friends after that day.   54   it was then that I learned just what golf should be .
It’s not about what   55  you get or how far you drive. It is about caring for the friends you play with and enjoying the time you have with them.

The students at Sandy’s high school were badly shaken by the news that a classmate had  36 himself. The suicide note read: “It’s hard to  37 when nobody cares if you die.”
Glen, a teacher, realized this was a  38 moment about the importance of making people feel
39 . He asked his class to imagine they were about to  40  and to write a note “telling someone how and why you  41 him or her.”
Sandy, who had a  42  relationship with her mother, decided to write her  43 . Her letter read: “We’ve had some  44 times and I haven’t always been a very good 45 ,but I know I’m lucky to have you in my life. You’re the  46 person I’ve ever known, And even when I disagree with you, I never  47 you love me and want what’s best for me. Thanks for not  48 up on me”.
When her mom read the note, she cried and hugged Sandy  49 but said little.
The next morning, Sandy found a  50  on her mirror: “Dearest Sandy, I want you to know being your mother is ,by far, the most important thing in my life.  51 I got your note, I thought I had lost your love and  52 . I felt like such a failure. I intended to  53 it all last night. Your note saved my  54 .”
Be careful not to underestimate the  55 of expressed appreciation. It won’t always save a life, but it will always make someone’s life better.

I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a   31  village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be   32  at a nearby garage. I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and   33  to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the   34 . With several hours to spare. I went to a theater.   35 , when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!
I knew Day would be angry if he   36  I’d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I   37  there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d   38  as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the   39  he gave me. “I’m disappointed you   40  you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t   41 . I called the garage to ask if there were any   42 , and they told me you hadn’t  yet picked up the car. ” I felt  43  as I weakly told him the real reason. A   44  passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with   45 . I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about   46  I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were   47 . Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him,   48  him all the way, but he walked silently.
Seeing Dad in so much   49  and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was   50  the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.

If a person forgets names, places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat . In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.
小题1:If one suffers from Alzheimer’s,          .
A．he has trouble with his memory
B．he can’t do everyday things on his own

D．he can’t move about
小题2:What is ARICEPT?
A．A medicine to cure Alzheimer’s
B．A medicine to delay signs of aging .

A woman named Emily renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.
The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (受鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.
小题1:What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?
A．The recorder was impatient and rude.
B．The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.
C．The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.
D．Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.
小题2:How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?
A．curiousB．indifferentC．puzzledD．interested
小题3:Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?
A．Because the author cared little about rewards.
B．Because she thought the author did admirable work.
C．Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.
D．Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.
小题4:What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A．To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.
B．To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.
C．To show that the author had a greater job than Emily.
D．To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
Dear Volunteers，
The service you will provide to elderly individuals in Abilene as a Meals on Wheels volunteer is deeply appreciated. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many miles you will travel and all of the hours you will contribute to help make this one of the best programs in the entire state.
We have our staff members make a home visit before adding each person to the program and try to visit everyone at least once every year. That is hardly enough, and we depend on your contact a great deal! It is important that you report back when you do not get an answer to your knock on the door. The person inside may be hurt or ill. They may be in hospital or out of town and fail to inform us. If they are frequently absent, we may need to determine if they still need meals.
If you find someone with a medical emergency, please call 911 to request medical assistance, and then call the Meals on Wheels office. If you find someone who needs assistance other than for a medical emergency, please call the Meals on Wheels office at 6725050, and we will try to find the appropriate agency or individual to call.
Let us know when a certain person needs extra food. We have a food preparation room of shelf stable items to share with them. Please feel free to take a few magazines when you deliver meals. Many of those we serve cannot afford magazines and enjoy reading. If someone is interested in getting books from the Abilene Public Library, let us know. We can sign them up for the Books on Wheels program. Call if you smell gas strongly when you deliver meals, or if someone needs a space heater, a blanket, or an electric fan. Please convey all needs to us, and we will try to see that they are met. Some of the elderly people who we offer our service may have cancers, liver diseases, AIDS, etc. If you do not want to deliver meals to the people with certain types of health problems, such as these, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Betty L. Bradley, LBSW,
Executive Director

Last year, I met a little boy to whom my heart went out. He would talk to me every single day, and always seemed to have a smile on his face. His problem was that he stuttered (口吃) extremely badly when he tried to talk. It was really hard to understand what he was saying, although he loved to tell big tales!
One morning, I was talking to the teachers who ran the school store. The boy stopped by and said hello to all of us. Afterwards they told me that the boy would stop every day to ask if they would be there the next day. But of course, he never had money to buy anything.
I decided that I would get him a little something just as a surprise. So I picked out a pencil, a rubber, and a small notebook for just $1.00. I cannot describe the look on his face when I gave him the three little things. Then, without a stutter, he loudly said, "Thank you so much!" and just kept repeating, "Thank you! Thank you!" He gave me a big hug before going off to class.
I was touched to see someone appreciate something that much. As he walked off, he was showing his new stuff to other kids walking to class. I have to say that I have never spent a dollar that would mean so much to me.
小题1:Why did the boy never buy anything from the store?
A．Because he couldn’t make himself understood.
B．Because the teachers were unwilling to sell him anything.
C．Because he couldn’t afford anything.
D．Because he could never decide what to buy.
小题2:What do we learn from the third paragraph?
A．Actually the boy had no stutter at all.
B．The boy was too excited to stutter at the moment.
C．What the author had bought helped the boy speak normally.
D．The author wanted to find out whether the boy really had a stutter.
小题3:Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．A Stuttering Boy
B．Kindness Can Do Wonders
C．One Dollar Can Buy Anything
D．The Best Dollar I Have Spent
小题4:What is the boy’s attitude to his life?
A．activeB．passiveC．disappointedD．fearful
