I remember as a small child people would often ask me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?"
     Well, it 31  being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, a policeman, a lawyer... As I grew older my dreams for the future  32 . When, at last, I was in college, I had my 33 set on becoming a preacher (牧师) like my father.  34  I studied and prepared for that life. I reached the 35 in the end and I was preaching  36 full-time for much of my adult life.
     However, for many, there is a "thief" that goes around stealing our 37 . Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the 38  thief is usually ourselves.
     We find 39 just about reaching the top, and a "small" 40  inside says, "You’ll never 41 it""You can’t possibly do this." On and on the "small" voice 42 our failure. Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are 43 . It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable (极宝贵的) 44 . When we learn these lessons well, we are ready for 45  
     The message I always gave my children was that you 46  do anything that your heart desires. Remember the saying, "Nothing is 47 to a willing heart." There are 48  "overnight" successes, but with determination, they will arrive. The life you dream of 49 in the end .Then in your heart, believe it will happen to you. Then work, work, work. You’ll get the picture.
     So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone 50 it from you —especially yourself.

When I was a teenager, I volunteered to give out water at a marathon. Watching the different runners who passed by and grabbed a cup was 36 . The next year I signed up for the race. I did little preparation and my only goal was to finish. On the day of the race, it was 37  hot. I remember struggling at about the 5th mile, thinking, “I am never doing this again!”
Have you ever felt that way about something? You eagerly choose a goal 38     soon realize it is 39 to achieve than you imagined it would be. That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Then 40 a decisive moment. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me. I felt 41  that I was younger than him but I couldn’t keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second but then I realized 42 . He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different experience, training and goals and I had mine. 43  in life do we 44  ourselves with others and feel disappointed in ourselves when we really shouldn’t? I decided, then, that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. 45  I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my achievement. Since then I have run several races and run purely for fun.
In life we all 46  compare ourselves with others, which is only natural. But don’t let them weaken you. 47 , you should use them to inspire you and show you what is possible. Then you are a true winner.

The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago commuting. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.
As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (发出细小声). Necks crane (伸长). “This is your driver speaking.”
We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.
“All of you put your papers down.”
The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.
“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”
Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.
I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver.
“Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, delivered in the tones of a drill sergeant (操练军士). “Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.
We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.
The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.
小题1:On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________.
A．stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediately
B．sat still without response
C．looked up from the newspapers to see who was speaking
D．were frightened
小题2:The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.

D．behavior patterns
小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke.
B．When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again.
C．The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first.
D．The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance.
小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
A．The Warmth of Communication
B．The Exchange of Information
C．The Power of Observation
D．The Attitude to Loneliness
I’ve often had difficulty remembering names. Proper nouns seldom found easy purchase in my brain unless I consciously repeat them over and over again. Needless to say, when people leave my life their names are often soon forgotten. This can have some embarrassing consequences.
Five or six years after high school graduation, I was reading carefully the shelves of a local auto supply shop when I noticed someone familiar enter the store. I knew him. He was in my graduation class and although he was not a good friend of mine, we had shared many classes and knew each other well. I began to feel an increasing sense of foreboding（预感）and quickly hid behind the nearest shelving unit. I should have known his name. How many times had I heard it during class role call? How many conversations had we had in the hallways?
I easily remembered his surname, “Ricca”. His was a large, well know family in the town of my childhood. I couldn’t have just acknowledged him using his surname. I might as well have admitted forgetting his name, which was not a choice. One’s name is important to every person’s identity. Not remembering an old acquaintance’s name is similar to forgetting your wife’s favourite flower, an embarrassing mistake of the highest order.
I quickly ran through the alphabet (字母表), a strategy I developed for just such an occasion. Abe? No, Adam, Andy, Bob? No, Bill? Yes! Bill sounded right. Of course, his name is Bill. I confidently made my way around the shelves and spoke to him as he was studying some cans of motor oil.
“Bill, how are you doing?”, I said offering him my hand which he took with a friendly shake. We talked a bit, some amusing remarks about our college experiences and such. I took his hand again, said how good it was to see him and gave him a happy wave, calling him by name again, as I left.
I was so pleased that I avoided yet another awkward encounter(相遇) that I could feel a big smile on my face as I paid the cashier and exited the store. As I marched merrily across the parking lot, an awful thought came into my mind. John, his name is John! Where did Bill come from? Was that one of my brothers? The sudden realization of what I did made me stop in my tracks. My head dropped when I realized my mistake. There was no way Mrs. Ricca would name one of her sons “Bill”. “Billerica” was the name of a town just north of Boston.
小题1:Which one can show the charge of the writer’s feelings?
a. guilty   b. anxious   c. embarrassed   d. happy   e sure
A．a-d-b-e-cB．d-e-b-a-cC．c-b-e-d-aD．b-c-d-e-
小题2:According to the passage, which statement is NOT sure?
A．Forgetting your wife’s favourite flower is a very serious mistake.
B．It is common to call an old acquaintance his given name.
C．The writer was in his twenties when he met John in the store.
D．John and the writer studied in the same college.
小题3:The underlined word “acknowledge” probably means “      ” here.
A．acceptB．greetC．thankD．admit
小题4:We can infer from the passage that _______.
A．The writer must have experienced such embarrassment many times
B．The writer had difficulty remembering names because he was getting old
C．Running through the alphabet was always an effective way of remembering an acquaintance’s name for the writer
D．Mrs. Ricca would have named one of her sons “Bill” if Billerica was not the name of a town north of Boston
Emanuel’s father liked to declare he’d spent ages by the sea, breathing seawater. Now, away from the sea, in the hospital, his body just looked like a beached fish. His condition went from bad to worse. The doctor came from saying, “He’ll be home in a day,” “He’ll be home in a week,” to “He will be home in a month.”
When Emanuel was a teenager, if he ever seemed bored with the pier(码头), his father would shout, “What ? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later, when he suggested Emanuel take a job at the pier after high school, the boy almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And before Emanuel went to war, when he talked of marrying Maggie and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?”
And now, here he was, Emanuel helped out at the pier, working evenings after his taxi job, doing his father’s labor.
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later that children understand: their stories and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers.
One night his father, lying in hospital, was practically too weak to speak. Others comforted him. “Your old man will pull through. He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.”
When the news came that his father had died, Emanuel felt heart-broken.
In the following weeks, Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there .She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two .One night, when Emanuel offered to help with the dishes, she said. “Your father will put them away.” Emanuel put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said softly, “Dad’s gone.”
“Gone where?” murmured Mum.
小题1:Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a．Emanuel’s father fell ill.         
b．Emanuel helped out at pier.
c．Emanuel went to the war.
d．Emanuel wished to be an engineer.
e.  Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused state
A．bacdeB．dcabeC．bcedaD．decba

A．Children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to them
B．Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ support
C．Children often feel regretful because they leave their parents
D．Children like moving away from their parents
小题3:The underlined phrase “pull through” can probably be replaced by ________
A．wake upB．give upC．pick upD．get up
小题4:The last paragraph mainly tells us that      . 
A．Emanuel’s mother was at a loss at her husband’s death.
B．Emanuel often helped his mother to wash the dishes.
C．Emanuel lived with his mother and often comforted her.
D．Emanuel’s mother doesn’t like to listen to the radio.
I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something  41  by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the 42  even more tragic was that Bob Collins，the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute  43 , I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience  44 .The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more   45 I became.
That was because I wanted to know  46 we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they  47 to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we  48 someone up after they have died? Yes，49  memory after memory about someone's good  50 does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we  51 remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear  52 .
Just once,  53 a gathering of death，1 would like to see a celebration of life,  54 stories are told, tears fall down，laughter rings out；and as the speaker  55 his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are  56  rises from the chair and gives them a  57 hug! Wouldn’t that be   58 !
Life is too short to leave kind words   59 . How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes，we could say  60 with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.

Every spring scores of people flock to the Buzzard Festival at Hinckley, Ohio. They come to watch for buzzards. Most would be glad just to take a look at a buzzard. If they do see one of these" flying garbage cans", it will probably be circling high in the sky. From there it can watch the ground for signs of the waste and the dead animals on which it feeds.
The buzzard is the ugliest bird in the United States. In fact, it may well be the ugliest bird in the world. It has a small, bare, pink head. Its thick body is covered with dark, rough feathers.
In spite of its looks, the buzzard is important to the people of Hinckley. It is their first sign of spring. After a winter in the south, buzzards return to their homes in the north. In the Hinckley area, they always return on March 15. No one knows why. But they have come back to Hinckley Ridge on that day, sure as clocks work, for at least forty years.
The excitement starts in February. By the middle of March it has reached a high peak. Bets are placed. Prizes go to the person who sees the first buzzard. Radio stations and newspapers tell of the coming festival. And on the weekend after March 15 the people of Hinckley hold their Buzzard Festival.
The people come and look around. They chat. They eat their fill of pancakes and sausages. Then they drive past Buzzard's Roost on Hinckley Ridge.
A lot of them stop near the road at the stand set up to give information to visitors. There they can hear, from a recording, the main facts about the buzzard. They can see a stuffed buzzard. They can look at some pictures taken of buzzards in other years. With good luck and a strong pair of field glasses, they may sight one or two live buzzards high in the sky.
Buzzards may be ugly. They may be "flying garbage cans". But in Hinckley they are just as welcome as the swallows in Capistrano, California. It would be a sad spring indeed if the buzzards ever failed to come back to Hinckley Ridge.
小题1:A good title for this story would be __________.
A．The Hinckley Buzzard Festival
B．Buzzard, the Ugliest Bird
C．Why the Buzzard Has a Pink Head
D．The Return of“The Garbage Can"
小题2:The buzzard is called the "flying garbage can" because it __________.

A．they spend the winter in the south
B．they come very close to the town
C．they return on the same day each year
D．both buzzards and swallows return to Capistrano on March 15
小题4:At the information stand, visitors to Hinckley's Buzzard Festival can _________.
A．learn some facts about the buzzard
B．easily see a live buzzard
C．take some pictures with the background of live buzzards
D．feed their fill of pancakes and sausages to buzzards
The advertisement appeared in my e-mail—“1-800-Flowers: Mother’s Day Madness —for just $39.99！” I almost clicked on it, forgetting that those services would not be needed this year. My mother, Margaret Feiddman, died at the age of 89, and so this is my first Mother’s Day without my mom.
In my childhood, my mom appeared to be a typical suburban housewife of her generation. She sewed many of my sisters’ clothes, including both of their wedding dresses and boy’s suits for me. And on the side, she won several national bridge tournaments(桥牌锦标赛).
My mom left many indelible marks on me. The first was to never lose heart and to be independent. My dad died suddenly when I was 19. My mom worked hard for a couple of years. But in1975, I won a scholarship to study in Britain and my mom surprised us all by announcing that she decided to go with me. When I met difficulties, she always said: “You’re a man, so never lose heart, never be knocked down, and try your best to pursue(追求) your dreams.”
My mom’s other big influence on me is a sense of optimism. She had taken her knocks. But every time life knocked her down, she got up and kept on marching forward, encouraged by the saying that pessimists(悲观者) are usually right, optimists are usually wrong, but most great changes are made by optimists.
How I wish to listen to my mother’s words, and give my best regards on this Mother’s Day, but I have no chance now! My best friends, treasure(珍惜)your mother’s love!
小题1:The author mentioned the advertisement to ___.

A．That she volunteered to go to Britain with her son.

D．That she won several national bridge tournaments.
小题3:What dose the underlined word “indelible” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A．be out of controlB．be easy to remember
C．be destroyed easilyD．be impossible to forget
小题4:We can know about the author’s mother that_____.

B．she felt very lonely in her late life
C．She never received a present from her children
D．she passed away before the author’s father

C．Treasure Mother’s LoveD．Mother’s Day Madness
"Hey, Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "what was your favourite fast food when you were growing up?"
"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him．"All the food was slow．" "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called 'at home'．" I explained．"Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it．"
Some parents never owned their own houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card．
My parents have never driven me to soccer practice．This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer．I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed．We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11．I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie"．When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered（粘贴）itself against my chin and burned that, too．It's still the best pizza I ever had．
I delivered newspapers, six days a week ．The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents．I had to get up at 4:00 a．m．every morning．On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers．My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change．
If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren．
Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?
小题1:By saying "All the food was slow", the writer implies that ____．
