15.I wandered into the small store where I usually buy milk,when the store owner received a call from a customer.The customer and his wife had shopped there several months earlier.He noticed that his wife really liked one thing in the store,so he wanted to buy it as a surprise.
But the customer was in Tennessee,far away from the store which was in Maine.What's more,he had been to the store several months earlier,and it was difficult to believe that the store owner would remember him,or what he was looking for.
The store owner took a few close-up photos with her camera,and e-mailed them to the customer on the computer.The customer looked at the photos,decided which one he wanted.They talked and discussed a price over the phone.She took care of the credit card transaction (交易) online,and promised the gift would be shipped out that afternoon.
The store owner was really smart.She was willing to push herself to find new ways to make the transaction actually happen.And it did work.However,it was the first time she had ever done it.
I was amazed that the store owner discovered a creative solution that could lead to a new way of doing business.I was impressed by what she did-so easily,but how difficult it is for many of us to make that leap(飞跃,跳跃).I'm not just talking about technology,but about learning how to adapt to change.Most people hate or fear change unless they get to know exactly what change needs to be made.However,we should realize that challenge and opportunity go hand in hand.

A.The gift was sent out by train that afternoon.

b.taking care of the credit card transaction online
c.talking about the price of the gift with the customer
d.e-mailing the photos to the customer on the computer
A.abcd B.adcb C.bcda D.bacd

6.I was an angry adolescent in my first year of college.In my eyes,my father seemed to (41)C me in no way.
One day we had a serious fight.I saw my father as (42)B me and wanted to break free.(43)A,he regarded me as disobedient and tried hard to keep his (44)C on me.We both exploded in (45)B.The situation was so unbearable that I (46)A out of the house and took the bus to school.My mind raced with (47)B thoughts about my father,feeling certain that no one in the world had ever had such a terrible father!
"I am the son of an IDIOT!How dare he interrupt my life and plans!"I wrote these words on a thought card,which served as a communication(48)D as well as the admission ticket to the literature class of Dr.Simon,a unique excellent teacher with (49)C teaching methods.Being ten minutes late,I (50)D handed it to him and dashed into the classroom.
The next day,his comment on the (51)A card struck me as if someone had punched me in the stomach.It read,"Why not stop blaming and be responsible for yourself?"No one had (52)B me to do so!
The (53)D kept coming up over the next few weeks.As I again heard myself blaming my father for this or that,I asked myself,"How long can you (54)A blaming others for YOUR life?"
Gradually,my thinking(55)B.It took over a year (56)C people began to notice that I was taking responsibility for my own actions and feelings.
I was amazed at improvement of my grades and the (57)D of number and quality of my friends.It was (58)C astonishing how much smarter my father seemed.Fights with my father became less and finally disappeared for I learned to think of him as a loving man with good (59)A,who just had no smooth ways to (60)D me.

3.Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by.Newspapers,magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently (41)Bboxing matches.Professional boxers earn a lot of money,and successful boxers are (42)Das big heroes.
It seems to me that people,especially men,find it(43)Abecause it is an aggressive sport.When they watch a boxing match,they can(44)C the winning boxer,and this gives them the feeling of being a (45)A themselves.It is a fact that many people have feeling of aggression from time to time,but they cannot show their(46)Bin their everyday lives.Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.
However,there is a(47)Dside to boxing.It can be a very dangerous sport.Although boxers wear gloves during the fights,and amateur boxers(48)Chave to wear helmets,there have frequently been accident in both professional and amateur boxing,sometimes with (49)Aconsequences.Boxers have suffered from head injuries,and occasionally,fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the(50)B.Furthermore,studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing,in the form of serious brain(51)C,even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
I am personally not at all in(52)Aof aggressive sports like boxing.I think it would be better if less time was(53)Cto aggressive sports on TV,and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society.I believe that the world is aggressive enough already!Of course,people like (54)Asports,and so do I,but I think that(55)Dother people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

20.It was a winter morning,just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival,he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10hours of labor,he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike,a black Kona 18speed,was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I to the newspaper and told them our story.Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help.One wonderful stranger even bought a bike,then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole.And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others.No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.

32.Why was the bike so important to the couple?A
A.They used it for work and daily life.
B.It was their only possession.
C.The man's job was bike racing.
D.It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
33.We can infer from the text thatC.
A.the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B.people were busy before Christmas
C.life was hard for the young family.
D.the stranger brought over the bike
34.How did people get to know the couple's problem?C
A.From radio broadcasts.
B.From TV news.
C.From a newspaper.
D.From a stranger.
35.What do the couple learn from their experience?B
A.Strangers are usually of little help.
B.An act of kindness can mean a lot.
C.News reports make people famous.
D.One should take care of their bike.
7.Kids with special needs refer to any kid who might need extra help because of a medical,emotional,or learning problem.For example,kids who cannot walk need wheelchairs.They not only need equipment that helps them get around,but they might need to have ramps(坡道)or elevators available.(36)D
Kids with an illness would have special needs,too(37)E Kids with sight problems might need Braille books to read.Kids with hearing problems might need hearing aids.
(38)C It might be harder to do normal things,like learning to read or just getting around the school.The good news is that parents,doctors,nurses,teachers,and others can help.The goal is to help kids be as independent as possible.
Other kids can also be a big help.How?By being a friend.Kids who use a wheelchair or have lots of health problems want friends just as you do.But meeting people and making friends can be difficult.(39)A Be sure to tell a teacher if you see someone being bullied(欺辱)or teased.
(40)F Being friendly to kids with special needs is one of the best ways to be helpful.As you get to know them they may help you understand what it's like to be in their shoes.And you'll be helping fill a very special need,one that everybody has-the need for good mends.

A.Some kids might laugh at or make fun of them.
B.It is good manners to offer help to kids with special needs.
C.Life can be challenging for a kid with special needs.
D.They also might need to get a special bus to school.
E.They might need medicine or other help as they go about their daily activities.
F.Also,try to be helpful if you know someone with special needs.
G.Someone could have trouble with anxiety,but you wouldn't know it unless told about it.
4.My mom has been upset about something in recent days.We are really(36)A,and I knew something was up with my dad.When I asked if they were getting a divorce,she sort of spilled and (37)B  me not to tell anyone about it.I(38)C  that I wouldnt,but it is really(39)D because things are feeling a little(40)C right now.I really want someone to talk to-is it OK to tell my therapist (治疗师)?-Kallie
This is a(41)B question because a lot of people (42)A  who they can talk to about their feelings when someone asks them not to tell.It can be hard not to have anyone to talk to when your family(43)D leaves you with a (44)B  of feelings to carry and no one to (45)A  out your heart to.
To be frank with you,in your(46)D  you are lucky-you may turn to your therapist for help,and you may even have her to talk about your(47)C  to.Talking to a therapist is(48)D  from to any other person,because conversations with a therapist are secrete and(49)A.You can tell your therapist that your mom asked you not to talk about this because it is still a private matter,but you need help to (50)B it.
Part of your therapists job is to help you to deal with your (51)D  feelings and thoughts.A therapist is the one person who you can tell your troubles to without (52)C about the gossip factor (which may exist in other occasions).In this way,you can get the(53)B  that you need without breaking your moms (54)C  by spreading it out to your friends or your family members(55)A  she is ready.
