I had applied for the nuclear(核)submarine(潜艇) program, and Admiral Rickover was interviewing me for the job. It was the first time I met Admiral Rickover, and we sat in a large room by ourselves for more than two hours, and he let me choose any subjects I wished to discuss. Very carefully, I chose those about which I knew most at the time – recent events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics(海军战术), electronics, gunnery(射击学) – and he began to ask me a lot of questions that were more difficult. Every time after my answers, he soon showed that I knew rather little about the subjects I had chosen.
He always looked right into my eyes, and he never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat.
Finally, he asked me a question and I thought it was my turn to show myself off. He said, “How did you stand in your class at Georgia Tech before entering Annapolis as a first year student?” I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!” I sat back to wait for the congratulations – which never came. Instead, the question: “Did you do your best?” I started to say, “Yes, sir,” but I remembered who this was, and thought of several of my times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies(二战时的同盟国), our enemies, weapons strategy(战略) and so on, so I finally said, “No, Sir, I didn’t always do my best.”
He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget – or to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, shaken, and then slowly left the room.
小题1:The passage suggests that ___.
A.the atmosphere of the interviews was very serious
B.the author always did his best in doing everything
C.the author and Admiral Rickover were good friends
D.Admiral Rickover knew the author quite well
小题2:The word “saturated” in the second paragraph may probably mean ___.
A.very satisfiedB.completely wetC.rather sadD.too excited
小题3:When the author said: “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!’’ He meant __.
A.he did better than most of his classmates at the Academy
B.he had 820 classmates and he was Number thirty-nine
C.he was proud that the class he was in was very large
D.in the class only thirty-nine students stood in front of him

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy, When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小题1:Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
A.happy B.lonely C.free D.excited
小题2:What will your friends say to you when you succeed?
A.Oh, so do I. B.Congratulations.
C.Good luck. D.It’s just so-so.
小题3:Happiness is ________ according to the writer.
A. having a lot of money  B. having a big house   C a feeling of heart  D.having a car
小题4:Which of the following is this passage about?
A.Bad luck. B.Good luck. C.Life.D.Happiness.
小题5:Which idea is Wrong according to the passage?
A.People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B.You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C.You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D.Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know a thing about being a good father.

My father is a cement finisher. In that instant, it   44 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out,   45  hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him   46  about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to   47  me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my   48. Don’t work too hard. I love you.” His   49 met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he   50  his throat and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks
and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana . And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we  hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving   next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to   smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.   They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms   in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”
“You were the one who was sleeping!”
Typical, he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
小题1: During their journey in Africa, the two travelers______.
A.made friends with local residents
B.complained about the poor living conditions
C.enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most
D.recorded their experiences in different ways
小题2: What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
A.He always missed out on the best thing.
B.He had already taken beautiful pictures.
C.A sound sleep was more important.
D.The next trip would be better.
小题3: What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to view wildlife in Africa.
B.Running into wildlife in Africa.
C.Tourist attractions in southern Africa.
D.Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.
The last time I saw my mother, she didn’t know who I was. Although having   36  from dementia(老年痴呆症) for many years, mother was never   37 . All our family came to the hospital to spend time with her. She didn’t   38  them either, but we wanted to be there with her.
I have just flown back from Texas. Mother   39  looked at me, or past me, and said “Yeah”. That’s   40  she responded to   41  around her. In spite of this, I held her hand and talked to her.
I told her about the big old house in Highland where I   42  . When we first   43  there from Mascoutah when I was 5 years old, I was   44  of that house. The yard was full of   45 and the house was falling apart. But my father and mother were intelligent and   46  and we eight kids helped to turn it into a home. All of a sudden, I wasn’t frightened any more.
I told her she must have been very   47  when I decided to go to college to study journalism   48  being a priest(牧师), which she thought was the highest   49  for a family. But she didn’t show it. She just saw me   50  with my favorite chocolate chip cookies.
When I told her all about Texas,   51  she and father had been to visit me, mother seemed   52   by that Texas beach on which they had taken a   53  . She   54  the trip and kept the picture in the living room all the time.
We had too many stories to tell. It was time for me to say   55  to mother and I told her I’d see her again. “Yeah,” she answered. But I wasn’t able to.
