Filled with sorrow, I didn’t notice the hardness of the chair I was sitting on. I was at the funeral(葬礼)of my   1 . The hurt was so intense（强烈的）, and I found it hard to   2  at times.
Suddenly, I heard a   3  open and slam shut at the back of the church. Quick   4  hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a   5  and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears.
“I’m  6 ,” he explained, though no explanation was   7 . After several eulogies (悼文), he leaned over and commented, “Why do they keep   8  Mary by the name of ‘Margaret’?” “Because that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary,” I   9  . “No, that isn’t correct,” he insisted. “Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.” “That isn’t  10  this is,” I replied. “Isn’t this the Lutheran church?” “No, the Lutheran church is across the street. I believe you’re at the   11  funeral, sir.”
The solemnness (庄严) of the occasion   12  with the realization of the man’s mistake bubbled (充溢) up inside me and came out as  13 . I peeked at the misguided man seated beside me. He was laughing,   14 . I imagined Mother laughing. At the   15  “Aman”, we darted(猛冲) out a door and into the parking lot.
“I do believe we’ll be the   16  of the town,” he smiled. He said his name was Rick and that   17  he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong   18  for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral. A year after our meeting, we were   19  at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.
Whenever anyone asks us how we   20  , Rick tells them, “Her mother and my aunt Mary introduced us.”

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sister. And day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in Mommy’s tummy(肚子).
Everything was normal for Karen. But she had difficulty giving birth to the baby. Finally, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in serious condition and was sent to hospital at once. The days went by. The little girl got worse. The doctor told the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”
Karen and her husband had fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby—now they planned a funeral. Michael, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister, “I want to sing to her,” he said.

Immediately the baby girl responded. Her breath became calm. “Keep on singing, Michael!” ‘You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away…” Tears ran down Karen’s face.
Funeral plans were cancelled(取消). The next day, the little girl was well enough to go home! The doctors just called it a miracle(奇迹). Karen called it a miracle of God’s love!

About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children, but I often heard the parents 26 shouting at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a (n) 27 one.
We often 28 in the hallway. I always greeted them, 29 the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl. I usually 30 to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just 31 their apartment and the little girl was 32 the outside door open for the others. I 33 in the car doing 34 things because I wasn’t eager to be snubbed (冷落) again. Finally I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling her to 35 to get into the car, but the little girl was still holding the door, 36 me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury.
I forgot to tell her how 37 I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had 38 an old man’s heart.
The next day there was a (n) 39 on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite 40 of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother was there, too. Her parents 41 me, too.
Now when we meet in the hall way we always greet each other, in a friendly 42 .
Last night there was a heavy snow. I looked out at my car and 43 how I was going to keep my doctor’s 44 because I could only walk for a short time. This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed.

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes, “Job means‘ just over broke (破产)' ”. And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers“ live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
小题1:The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that     .
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
小题2:The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by       .
A．spend more than they can afford
B．do in their own way
C．live in their own circle
D．live within what they earn
小题3:Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A．They don't work hard enough.
B．They lack financial intelligence.
C．They don't make full use of their talents.
D．They have no specialized skills.
小题4:The success of McDonald's lies in its       .
A．skills at making hamburgers.B．good business systems
C．talented workersD．excellent service
小题5:The main purpose of the author is to tell us       .
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．what schools should teach students
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald's makes much money

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pen, and white paper, I decided that the act of   1 must be the most   2  thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother   3  different things for my sister and brother. “But the  4 ”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.

Now the   15  of her desk told me, as she’d   16  been able to, that she was   17  that writing was my chosen work. I   18  the desk carefully and found some papers   19 --- a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.

Here in the hills were buffaloes (野牛). I had even, in my very young days — when I could not live till I had killed one of each kind of African animal — shot a bull out there. Later on, when I was not so interested to shoot as to watch the wild animals, I had been out to see them again. But twice I had to go back without success.
But one afternoon as I was having tea with some friends outside the house, Denys came flying from Nairobi and went over our heads westwards; a little while after he turned and came back and landed on the farm. I drove down to the plane to bring him back, but he would not get out of his plane.
“The buffaloes are out feeding in the hills,” he said, “come out and have a look at them.”
“I cannot come,” I said. “I have got a tea-party up at the house.”
“But we will go and see them and be back in a quarter of an hour,” he said.
This sounded to me like the suggestions which people make to you in a dream. So I went up with him. It did not take us long to see the buffaloes from the air; we counted them as they peacefully mixed and separated on the open ground closed in by bushes. There was one very old big black bull, and a number of young ones; if a stranger had come near to them they would have heard or smelt him at once, but they were not prepared for something from the air. They heard the noise of our machine and stopped feeding, but they did not seem to be able to look up. In the end they realized that something very strange was about; the old bull first walked out in front of the others. Suddenly he began to go down the valley side and after a moment he broke into a run. The whole group now followed him, rushing hurriedly down into the buses. In a small wood of low trees they stopped and kept close together. Here they believed themselves to be out of sight. We flew up and away. It was like having been taken there by a secret unknown route.
When I came back to my tea-party the teapot on the stone was still so hot that I burned my fingers on it.
小题1:The writer drove to the plane ________.
A．to pick Denys up and take him back to the tea-party
B．to have a talk with Denys
C．to do some repairs for Denys
D．because they wanted to go up in the plane
小题2: Denys said it would only take a quarter of an hour to go and see the buffaloes ________.
A．but it took much longer than that B．and he was right
C．if they went by a secret routeD．but it wasn’t a serious suggestion
小题3:When the buffaloes heard the noise of the plane, they ________.
A．looked up at itB．ran away immediately
C．continued feedingD．were uncertain what to do
