She was a five-year-old girl with very fine golden hair when I first met her. She was carrying a bowl of _36_. I was 29 at that time and suffering from the flu.
Her mom and I had been friends for years._37 that friendship grew into care, from care into   _38_ and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a _39_. At first I was afraid to be a “stepfather”. Therefore, I tried not to come _40_ my future daughter and her   41  father. I acted in that way in order to be liked. However,   42  she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to   43  with her.
Once her school required the parents to individually write an open and   44  letter to our children. I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had   45  me a bowl of soup when I needed   46 .
A week later, all the parents 47  together with our children. The students were allowed to make a few statements. I was   48  to hear what my daughter would say.
Finally my daughter   49  make her way up to the microphone. She said something like others and then  50 , “At this very moment, I just want to say …I love you, Father.”
Immediately people around me started   51  at me. For a teenage girl to say  52  in front of so many people, “I love you,” took a great deal of courage.
Since then I have   53  to understand I didn’t need to have any   54  about being a stepfather. I can still   55  honest love with the same little girl I met so many years before － carrying a bowl full of what turned out to be kindness. I can also be friends with the girl － my dear daughter.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   36 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it  37  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   38 everywhere. I tried to use a broom, 39 with each sweep they just rolled across the kitchen．
For the next week, every time I was in the   40 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   41  . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and  42  12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining  43 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful  44  I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded  45  those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   46  had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   47  his new surroundings and the 48  of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．
When life gets you   49  , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never  50  , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be  51  , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   52 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   53  you’ll start to feel whole again．
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   54 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,  55  will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

A firm handshake is key to interview success. As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers.
The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock (模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five "handshake raters" also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact.
Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with " wimpy" shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive.
The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Professor Stewart said: "We've always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don't consciously remember a person's handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the person's overall personality, and that impression is what we remember."
Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, - as an over enthusiastic "bone crusher" handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness.
The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.
小题1:The passage is probably intended for ______.
A．job-hunters B．an undergraduate C．employers D．handshake raters
小题2:From the first paragraph we know that in an interview ______.
A．dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake
B．smile has no effect on impressing potential employers
C．a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smile
D．dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave.
B．The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive.
C．Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others.
D．It's said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe.
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a better impression than men.
B．A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake.
C．Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview.
D．Job interview success depends on interviewees' body language.
It was Molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.
One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag. This one was worn and held together with staples (订书钉) 。
“Why two bags?” her father asked. “The other is something else,” Molly answered. “What’s in it?” “Just some stuff. Take it with you.”
Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both bags into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off. At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons(丝带), three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies… The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly’s stuff included.
That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. “Where’s my bag?” “What bag?” “The one I gave you this morning.” “I left it at the office. Why?” “I forgot to put this note in it,” she said. “And, besides, Daddy, the things in the sack are the things I really like — I thought you might like to play with them. You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?” “Oh, no,” he said, lying. “I just forgot to bring it home. I’ll bring it tomorrow.” While Molly hugged her father’s neck, he unfolded the note that read: “I love you, Daddy.” Molly had given him her treasures — all that a 7-year-old held dear.
Love in a paper bag, and he missed it — not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. So back he went to the office. Just ahead of the night janitor(看门人), he picked up the wastebasket. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. The bag didn’t look so good, but the stuff was all there and that’s what counted.
After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell. Everything had a story or a memory.
“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life,” he thought.
We should all remember that it’s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey. That journey with the people we love is all that really matters. It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.
小题1:Why did Molly give her father a second bag?
A．She didn’t want to keep the things in the bag.
B．She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.
C．She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.
D．She enjoyed playing with her father.
小题2: How did father deal with the bag after he opened it?
A．He kept it in the drawer.
B．He took it back home.
C．He threw it into the wastebasket.
D．He put it on his table.
小题3:After father heard what his daughter said, he felt_____.
A．regretfulB．surprisedC．sadD．satisfied
小题4:Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage?
A．An important journeyB．Two bags
C．Father and daughterD．Love in a paper bag

I’ve changed my mind. “ I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to father for Christmas written after his schoolteacher’s father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched everyone’s heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father there too, either in your mind and heart. I find that my parents, who died years ago, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all my mother said was “ I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

If a person forgets names, places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat . In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

She was dancing. My lame grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, looking at her beautiful movements, absolutely shocked. She was the pet of the dancing world. And then she’d had her accident and it was all over. I had read that in an old newspaper article.
‘‘So… Your leg? I mean, how did your leg heal (恢复健全)?”
“To tell you the truth — my legs have been well all my life,” she sighed.
“But I don’t understand!” I said, “Your dancing career (事业)… You pretended all these years?”
‘‘Very much so, and for a very good reason.”
She thought for a while and then continued. “We were talking about engagement (订婚) when your grandfather had to go to war. I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance. I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good. Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. Then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: ‘I have lost my leg. I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.’’’
“I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought myself a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. My dancing days were over. No one doubted the story — I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走) convincingly before I returned home. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well. Then I traveled to the hospital. They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair. I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
“I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. ‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to carry you. You are going to walk yourself.’”
“I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I’d taken out of my pocket. ‘Now show me you are still a man.’ I said. He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair. He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
“What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”
小题1:What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?

f. Grandfather had to go to war.
A．e-f-b-a-d-cB．f-e-a-c-b-d
C．f-b-e-a-d-cD．e-b-f-a-c-d
小题3:Which of the following words can best describe grandmother?

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play the character of Ronald McDonald for the McDonald's Corporation.
One day each month，we visited hospitals bringing a little happiness to the children there. But there were two rules placed on me during a visit. First, I could not go anywhere in the hospital  without permission. And second, I could not physically touch anyone within the hospital. They did not want me to carry germs(细菌)from one patient to another. Breaking either of these rules, I was told, I could lose my job. One day, as I was heading down a hallway and on my way home, I heard a little voice coming through a half­opened door，“Ronald，Ronald.”
I stepped in and saw a boy，about five years old, lying in his dad's arms, Mom with a nurse on the other side. I knew by the feeling in the room that the situation was grave. I asked his name. He told me it was Billy and that I did a few simple magic tricks for him. As I stepped back to say good­bye, he asked me “Ronald, would you hold me？”
At such a simple request, my heart was screaming, “Yes！”But my mind was screaming louder. “No！You are going to lose your job！”
“Hold me” was such a simple request, and yet I searched for any reasonable excuses that allowed me to leave, but none. It took me a moment to realize that in this situation, losing my job may not be the disaster I feared. Then, I picked up this little boy. He was so weak and so scared. We laughed and cried for 45 minutes. With tears in my eyes, I left them. Less than 48 hours later, I received a phone call from Billy's mom that Billy had passed away. She and her husband simply wanted to thank me for making a difference in their little boy's life.
Billy's mom told me shortly after I left the room. Billy looked at her and said, “Momma, I don't care any more if I see Santa this year because I was held by Ronald McDonald.”
For the record, McDonald's Corporation did find it out, but, given the situation，permitted me to go on with my job. I continued as Ronald for another year before leaving the corporation to share the story of Billy and how important it is to take risks.
小题1:The underlined word “grave” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.

小题2:When Billy asked the author to hold him, at first the author ________.

A．the author left the corporation because he broke the rules
