2.My husband and I used to think we had all we had ever wanted.A beautiful house,three healthy children and one more on the way,two cars,a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment-We really had it all and we loved it.Then,the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone.The company was closing down forever.
We both started looking for jobs right away,but there weren't any to be found.With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together,the closer we got.I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.
That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation.I continually asked him to stop,but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
Finally,one afternoon I pulled him aside and said,"We have four healthy children and each other.That's what's important.That makes you a rich man."
"But what if we lose the house?They'll hate me-you'll hate me,"he replied.
I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye."No matter where we live I will be happy-as long as I have you,"I smiled again as I realized that I wasn't just saying that.In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said"I do".
I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed.He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time.It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.
We are still struggling for our better life,but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.
24.We know from the story thatC.
A.they both found good jobs at last
B.her husband was out of work for his not working hard
C.both of them felt anxious about their unemployment

13.①The past year,which is fast becoming just a memory,is the year I drove through the car wash at fifty miles an hour.At least,it felt like fifty miles an hour.
②That day I followed the attendant's instructions,drove to one of those do-it-yourself car washes.I forgot that my car was a bit moody.I'd been meaning to have it checked,but it didn't happen often enough to rush me to the garage.Anyway,then unexpectedly,suddenly we picked up speed before the astonished eyes of the attendant.The car shot through the wash cycle,the wax(蜡)cycle,and the dry cycle at a ridiculous rate of speed,and then aimed for the street at the end of the tunnel.We shot through the tunnel with what seemed like the speed of sound and rushed out into the street while I was relieved to see that no cars were approaching.The water and the wax had not yet dried-the car looked as if it had caught some terrible disease.
③"What happened then?"Bobbie asked after I had told my family the story at an evening meal.
④"Nothing,"I said.
⑤"Didn't you go back to the car wash?"
⑥"Of course not,"I replied.
⑦"I don't blame you,"Peter said."They might have arrested you for speeding in a car wash."
⑧We all laughed.It was a nice moment.We were relaxing after the dishes had been taken away,the pleasant smell of coffee filling the air.We had been talking about the past year and,without pausing to think of the possible consequences,I had told them about my experience with the car wash.
⑨The story delighted the children-who are no longer children.Peter and Bobbie are married,in fact,and I realized I had given them a sort of philosophy of life for the future.I could imagine them,years from now,when they gather together and one of them will say,"Remember the time Dad drove through that car wash …?"
⑩Other things happened last year,too,because each year has its events,the good and the bad,the sweet and the sorrowful,the ordinary and the terrific.The milestones and the small incidents stand side by side,fundamentally different in quality or kind,perhaps,but making a sweet kind of harmony.

D.The reason for the car to lose control.
68.Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage?B
A.A reflection on car trade

D.A car accident at a car wash.

14.When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves,many put friends ahead of homes,jobs,clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should prove it.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.First,don't let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second,apologize when you're wrong-even if you've been wronged.Over the course of friendship,even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes,it may be best if the   wronged person takes wrong.Third,see things from your friend's point of view.And finally,accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

4.Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe,So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver,the spirit of generosity(慷慨)is instantly noticeable:A donation box stands in place of a cash register.Customers here pay only what they can afford,no questions asked.A risky business plan,perhaps,but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years:Open only at midday,the restaurant provides poor local can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses,and dishwashers,or took after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
"It's based on trust,and it's working all right",says co-owner Brad Birky,who started the café in 2006.With his wife Libby.Previously volunteering at soup kitchens,the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there."We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable,regardless of their circumstances,"Birky says.SAME's special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day.And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading.In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys,"He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up,"says Birky.

68.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys prcviously worked for?B
A.They refused to have volunteers.
B.They offered low quality food.
C.They provided customers with a good environment.
D.They closed down because of poor management.
69.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?A
A..The customers who cannot pay can word as volunteers in stead.
B.More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
C.Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.
D.The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.
70.The author's attitude towards running such a café isB
A.unfavorable
B.approving
C.doubtful
D.cautious.
