How many of us can really ever thank our mothers for what they do for us? I am now 40 years old, so it's been a lot of years that I've had my mom's loving     and direction behind me pushing me gently when I need it.

When life would get me down, she would tell me that ,it's always dark     the down ,She's always been my greatest     keeping-me up when life tried to defeat me. She never told me that anything was impossible or that I set my goals too high. With a gentle guiding hand she got me back on the right:,   if I faltered (摇晃) .
A    thank you will never be enough for the kindness and love she has shown to us over the years. My mom     _ more than flowers, candy or other gifts. There isn't a gift in the world that could ever        my thanks for everything she has done for me over the years.

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧)．It’s fun to come home.It looks the same.It smells the same.You’ll realize what’s changed is you.Home is where we can remember pain，love，and some other experiences：We parted here；My parents met here；I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes，I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home.I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass­top wooden table.To the right of the living room is my first bedroom.It’s empty，but it’s where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays，and where I cried on Halloween－when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong.If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents’ room.It is simple：a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side.Their bed is my safe zone.I can jump on it anytime－waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists.It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.It is proof I lived，I grew，and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home.I know it’s where I’ll find my family，my dogs，and my belongings.I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I’ll be blamed by Mom.But I don’t mind，because I want to hear her say my name，which reminds me I’m home.
小题1:Why does the author call her parents’ bed her “safe zone”(Paragraph 3)?
A．It is her favorite place to play.
B．Her needs can be satisfied there.
C．Her grandparents’ photos are lined on each side.
D．Her parents always play together with her there.
小题2:What can be learned from the passage?

B．The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.
C．The author’s favorite room in her first home is the dining room.
D．Many people of the author’s age can still find their first physical homes.
小题3:Sometimes when she feels lost，the author will________.
A．open the window at night
B．lie down in bed to have a dream
C．try to bring back a sense of home
D．go to Los Angeles to visit her mom
小题4:What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To express how much she is attached to her home.
B．To declare how much she loves her first house.
C．To describe the state of her family.
D．To look back on her childhood.
When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them .“Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environment answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do ? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words.”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励) action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices — education, career, lifestyle — life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is in progress, but aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and innocent.
Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.
小题1:The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _____.
A．end poverty and make school beautiful

A．a long period of laughing

C．an expression used for greeting
D．a long period of clapping and applause

A．in his teens
B．in his twenties
C．in his thirties
D．in his forties

B．the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment.
C．the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice.
D．the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up.

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic; motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. "I'm awfully sorry," I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
小题1:The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________
A．she might be recognized
B．asking for help looked silly
C．she was normal and independent
D．being found blind was embarrassing
小题2:After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.
A．began to run
B．hit a person as usual
C．hit a lamppost by accident
D．was caught by something
小题3:At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.
A．stopped a big lorry
B．stopped the wrong bus
C．made no attempt to stop the bus
D．was not noticed by other people
小题4:What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus? _________
A．Other vehicles also stopped there.
B．It was unreliable for making judgments.
C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it    patience. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to    some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home   .
Joining a club or group, talking to those who like the same things     you do is much easier. Or join someone      some activity.
Many people are    when talking to new people.   all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown .And it’s human nature to feel a bit    about the unknown. Most of fears about       new people come from doubts about    .We imagine other people are    us——finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself      you are, and try to put the other at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confident even    you don’t feel that way when you    a room full of strangers. Walk tall and straight, look at other people directly and    .
If you see someone you’d like to    , say something. Don’t wait for      person to start a talk.
Just meeting someone      does not mean that you’ll make friends with that person.   is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”. It takes time to
  friendship.

An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (递送) a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”
Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful.
小题1:How did the cracked pot feel about itself at first?
A．Proud.B．Happy.C．Excited.D．Ashamed.
小题2:Where were the flowers growing?
A．On both sides of the path.
B．In the woman’s house.
C．On the perfect pot’s side.
D．On the cracked pot’s side.
小题3:Which is the correct order of the following events?
① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table.
② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot.
③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack.
④ The woman found a crack on one pot.
⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.
A．④⑤①③②B．⑤④③②①
C．④③①②⑤D．④⑤③①②
小题4:What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A．Never laugh at old women.
B．Imperfection makes life meaningful.
C．Try your best to be perfect in life.
D．Don’t use a cracked pot to carry water.
