     As a young boy, I lived in a poor suburban neighborhood. I often wandered around the
neighborhood alone, and offered to help mow a lawn or wash some walls in exchange for
some pocket money just to buy something I needed, such as some school clothes or candy.
     One day, I knocked at an old woman's door and asked if she needed her walls washed.
She asked why I wasn't in school and I showed her my pants and shoes, which were torn
and no longer keeping my feet warm. She allowed me to work in the yard for pretty much
that entire day. When I was finished, I knocked on her door and she looked at me. "I
suppose you want to be paid now," she said.
     "Yes, ma'am, I do."
     She asked what my fee was. I hadn't thought about this and made no answer. She said,
"Well, come inside," and then she came in and pulled out a big jar which was filled with
dollar bills. She said, "Though you've done a fine job today, that isn't something you should
be doing again. I want you to buy some pants and new shoes and get back in school. I
also want you to come back and visit me with your report card and I'll reward you when
I see your good marks. Now reach in with your hands and take out as much as possible."
     I reached in and grabbed lots of money, which was enough for me to buy those I
needed. I returned several times to see the woman and yes, she did just as she promised.
She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and a sandwich every time
I showed her I had an "A" or "B".
     I'll never forget the huge difference this wonderful stranger made over my life with her
generosity and kindness; this is something I hope to do myself in my life.

     The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant
woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop
the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and
angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati,the elephant princess.
     Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an
elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant roundup-how
to catch wild elephants.
     Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was
sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she
went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the
excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
     But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the
elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for
many years. Increasingly,the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it
and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever
wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle
before they can kill.
     The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend
hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers
and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her
elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to________.
A. get long lasting excitement
B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle
D. make the angry elephants tame
2. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, ________.
A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers
3. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because________.
A. they are caught and sent for heavy work  
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them
4. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ________.
A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks  
B. the manelephant relationship is getting worse
C. elephant tamers are in short supply
D. dogs are as powerful as elephants

     Having lived in California until 1970,my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been
fortunate,however,to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
     There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists
the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured
more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and,luckily,none is shown in the
website.So,my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
     There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest
daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became
stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us
(my daughter,I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
     The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the_famous_landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake,I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer-something like,"Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father".Minutes later,I was safe outside.
1. The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about________.
A. a new film about an earthquake
B. how to survive an earthquake
C. his three earthquake experiences
D. how to save children in an earthquake
2. The earthquakes the author has experienced________.

C. all measured more than 6.0    
D. all happened in California

C. held on to a tree for hours  
D. was in a hotel
4. What does the underlined part "the famous landmark" refer to?
A. A church.
B. Disneyland.
C. A building destroyed by an earthquake.
D. The place where the author was born.
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the third earthquake?
A. It happened in the author's sixties.

     There is a wonderful story about a young girl who had no family and no one to love her.
     One day, feeling very sad and lonely, she was walking through a grassland when she noticed a small
butterfly caught in a thorn (荆棘) bush. The young girl carefully released the butterfly. Instead of flying
away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
     "For your wonderful kindness," the good fairy said to the girl, "I will give you any wish you would like."
The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, "I want to be happy."
     The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the fairy disappeared.
     As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her secret of
happiness. She would only smile and answer, "The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy
when I was a little girl."
     When she was very old and on her deathbed, the neighbors all gathered around her, that her unbelievable
secret of happiness would die with her. "Tell us, please," they begged, "Tell us what the good fairy said."
The lovely old woman simply smiled and said, "She told me that everyone, no matter how secure they seemed,
no matter how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me."
1. _____ the girl felt sad and lonely.
