Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a ___36___ because of some small things. And neither was willing to ___37___ each other.
One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He  38 _ it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m  39__ a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”  
“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. ___40___ at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his place or his __41___ any more. I want you to build me a 8-foot ___42___.” 
The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you __43__.” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening, the carpenter had just ___44___ his job when the elder brother returned. But he was __45___ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a __46____, which went from one side of the river ___47__ the other! On the other __48____ of bridge, was his younger brother.
“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.
“No,” the elder brother was __49___. 
“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and __50___,” the carpenter smiled.
Suddenly they began to understand ___51___. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _52____. Standing on the bridge, they _53___ each other’s hands with ____54__ in their eyes. 
“Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to ___55___ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”

When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I   36  at the dinner table, “My teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our valentines on Monday”.
Mother said, “We’ll see,” and she continued eating.
What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box,   37  my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my   38  .
All Saturday I waited   39  and with Sunday arriving, my concern increased. However, I   40  that an enquiry about the box would   41  anger or loud voices, for in my house children only asked once. More than that   42  trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with different kinds of colorful   43  . A (n)   44  shoebox rested on top of it.   45  flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started   46  your project.”
In the next hour my father   47  the shoebox into an impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts   48  to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a   49  smile spread across his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.
I answered him with a hug.
But inside,   50  danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father had devoted so much   51  to me, for his world consisted only of work.
The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time   52 .
On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to   53  . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside.
The valentine box became a symbol of his love that   54  through decades of other Valentine’s Days. My father gave me other gifts through the years, but none   55  compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.
But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong.
The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.
There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake.
My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.
However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.
小题1:According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________.
A．people who stay up until the next morning
B．people who get up early in the morning
C．people who feel sleepy in the morning
D．people whose productivity is the lowest in the morning
小题2:Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?
A．Because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.
B．Because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.
C．Because he / she wanted to test which school is better.
D．Because he / she found that the productivity was higher.
小题3:The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．going to bed after midnight
B．asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits
C．getting up early occasionally
D．pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping
小题4:What’s the author’s sleep pattern?
A．Going to bed early and getting up early.
B．Going to bed late and getting up late.
C．Going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.
D．Going to bed early and getting up late.
小题5:The passage is mainly about ________.
A．main schools of thought on sleep patternsB．how to have a good sleep
C．wrong strategies for getting up earlyD．how to become an early riser
Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to  36 others how their positions, statements and points of view are   37  and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow   38  it, or at least learn something. Wrong！
Think about it. Have you ever been   39  by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.” Or has anyone you know ever   40  you when you corrected him, or made yourself “right” at his 41  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   42 to be corrected. We all want our position to be   43  and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest   44  of the human heart. And those who learn to   45  are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   46  of correcting others are often hated and   47 .
A wonderful way of becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice  48    others the joy of being right--- give them the glory.   49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to…” rather than   50  and saying, “No, it’s more important to…” , simply let it go and allow his statement to   51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   53  possible. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and seeing other people’s  54  , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos（自我意识）. Starting today, and let others be “  55  ” most of the time.

完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1-10各题所给的A.B.C.和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺负）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

Whether you admit or not, music is rooted in our daily life, weaving its beauty and emotion through our thoughts, activities and memories. So if you’re interested in music theory, music appreciation, Beethoven, Mozart, artists and performers, we hope you’ll spend some time here and learn from those music articles of note for all ages and tastes.
When I first started studying the history of music, I did not realize what I was getting into. I had thought that music history was somewhat of an unimportant pursuit（追求）. In fact, I only took my history of classical music class because I needed the credits（学分）. I did not realize how really attractive music history was. You see, in our culture many of us do not really learn to understand music. When I began to learn about the history of Western music, however, it changed all that for me.
When most of us think about the history of music, we think of the history of rock music, we assume that the history is simple because the music is simple. In fact, neither is the case, The history of music, whether you’re talking about classical music, rock music, jazz music, or any other kind, is never simple.
Even when the class was over, I would not stop learning about the history of music. It had attracted my interest, and I wanted more.
小题1:What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To advise readers to learn about music.
B．To show he has a good knowledge of music.
C．To ask readers to share their experience.
D．To prove that music has a long history.
小题2:Why did the author take the history of classical music class?

B．Classical music would bring him fame.
C．Classical music was very important to him.
D．He wanted to get the points from the course.
小题3:The underlined word “assume” in the third paragraph probably means “____________ ”.
A．seeB．meanC．thinkD．wonder
小题4:What did the author do after the class was over?
A．He became tired of music history.
B．He kept on learning about music history.
C．He found music was difficult to learn.
D．He began to take part in music activities.
小题5:(Originally created) What can we infer about the author according to the passage?
A．He didn’t like music at the beginning.
B．He prefers history to music.
C．He doesn’t study hard at school.
D．The students in his school need some credits in other subjects besides the credits in their majors before they graduate from their college.
Sarah came running in saying, "Look what l found. " Over the top of the paper I was reading I saw a long object that made me jump. It was a piece of snakeskin that had been shed （脱皮)  by one of our garden snakes.
'Isn't it beautiful?" said my wide-eyed 7~year-old daughter. I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really was not that beautiful, but I did not want to disappoint Sarah.  Everything children see for the first time is elementary to their sense of beauty and creativity. They see only merit (忧点) and excellence in the world.
"Why does it do this?" Sarah asked. I like to teach my children that there is something else going on besides what they see in front of them. "Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves," I explained.
"Why do they need to renew themselves?" Sarah asked. "We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with," I said to my now absorbed daughter. "We outgrow some things and find other stuff unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin.  It is probably too old, and the snake probably doesn't think it looks as smart in the skin as it once did.  Like buying a new suit. "
Of course, I'm sure this explanation won't suit naturalists. But Sarah got the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, and rooms and schoolwork and creativity, and she began to see what we need to keep and what need to cast off.  I was careful to point out that this is a natural process, not one to be forced.
"Snakes don't peel off their skin when they feel like it," I explained.  "lt happens as part of their growth. "
"I see, Dad. " said Sarah.  She then jumped off my lap, grabbed the snakeskin, and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. Often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture we are cloaked (掩饰) in year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless, unnecessary, or flawed (有缺陷的);  or at best,  remember the things we discard（丢掉）to teach us how we can improve.
小题1:When Sarah asked the author whether the snakeskin was beautiful,___________
A．he was shocked and jumped
B．he tried to understand her point of view
C．he thought that telling the truth was a merit
D．he decided to teach her something about the garden

A．Confused.B．BoreciC．Satisfied.D．Excited.
小题3:Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．By reflecting on ourselves, we can better ourselves.
B．It is necessary to force others to remove some things.
C．The community and culture force us to change.
D．It is natural to keep some old clothes.
小题4:From the text, we can conclude that the author___________.
A．does not like nature much
B．takes the chilcl's feelings lightly
C．is both a logical and thoughtful person
D．loves to see his daughter excited about animals
小题5:Which of the following could be the best title for the article?
A．The things we should cast offB．A shed snakeskin in Sarah's eyes
C．A natural part of our growthD．Renewal for snakes and us
A man worked in a post office. His job was to handle all  36  that had unclear addresses. One day he came across a letter which was  37  to God. He opened it and it  38  , "Dear God, I am an 83-year-old woman and I live on a very small pension (养老金). Yesterday someone stole my  39  .

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life."_26_ teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily _27_.
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for_28_friendship to _29_. However, there can be_30_disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have it clear in our _31_ what kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _32_ at arm's length? Do we want to _33_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _34_enough—and that' s all right. But at some point we need to 35 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of_36_experience _37_ our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it _38_be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are _39_of interest and action in return.
　　What are some of the _40_of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships _41_time. Another “major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships _42_ actions in return. In 43 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _44_time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die _45_?.
