I put a package of small gold colored foil (金箔) angels in my purse after my illness. The package was 1 and the angels fell out into my purse.
On the way home, I was at the store 2 for something and change was 3. I dug in, got the change and gave it to the 4. I didn’t realize there were also angels sticking (粘) to the 5! Well, she said, “Oh, angels for 6! Thank you! Come back and see me anytime!”
This 7 several times that day, with almost the same reaction at 8 places, with different people. So now I keep the angels in there and 9 dispense (分发) them with the change.
This little 10 has led to some interesting conversations --- for example, when I did go back to the same 11 where the lady received the 12 angles, she told me how much she 13 them and kept them by her bed.
She then told me, “I was 14 as a child, I couldn’t walk or talk. My grandparents told me that if I didn’t 15 I would be healed because the angel was 16 me. I started praying, and within a year I was totally healed! I’m so 17 for this healing!”
She also told me that the first time she 18me, she thought I was an angel! I then gave her some more angels, and 19 she acted like I had given her a million dollars!
What a lovely 20!
I plan on always keeping the little gold angels in my purse and dispensing them everywhere. When I do, I don’t say anything --- I just give them with the change.

　　When 70-year-old Bernie Meyers of Wilmette, Ill, died suddenly a cancer, his eight-year-old granddaughter Sarah Meyers didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to him．For weeks Sarah said little about what she was feeling．But then one day she came home from a friend’s birthday party with a bright helium balloon(氦气球)．“She went into the house,”her mother recalls,“and came out carrying the balloon and an envelope addressed to ‘Grandpa Bernie, in Heaven Up High．’”

　　The envelope contained a letter in which Sarah told her grandfather that she loved him and hoped somehow he could hear her．Sarah wrote her return address on the envelope, tried the envelope to the balloon and let it go．“The balloon seemed so fragile,”her mother remembers．“I didn’t think it would make it pass the trees．But it did．”

　　Two months passed．Then one day a letter arrived addressed to“Sarah Meyers’ Family”and bearing(盖有)a York, Pa(宾州)post mark．

　　“Dear Sarah, family & friends,

　　Your letter to Grandpa Bernie Meyers safely reached the address and was read by him．I understand they can’t keep material things up there, so it drifted back to Earth．Those who live in Heaven just keep thoughts, memories, love and things like that．Sarah, whenever you think about your grandpa, he know and is very close by with love．

　　Sincerely yours

　　Don Kopp(also a grandpa)

　　Kopp, a 63-year-old retired clerk, had found the letter and the nearly deflated balloon while hunting in northeastern Pennsylvania(宾夕法尼亚州)——almost 600 miles from Wilmette．The balloon had floated over at least three states and one of the Great Lakes before coming to rest on a tree．

　　“Though it took me a couple of days to think of what to say,”Kopp notes,“it was important to me that I write to Sarah．”

　　A new law is leading to debate in Wisconsin．The state recently lowered its minimum(最小的)hunting age．Under the new plan, children as young as 10 may hunt with an adult．Each pair can have only one gun or bow, and the adult and child must stay within arm's reach of each other at all times．

　　Some say the new plan is on target．They believe that teaching more kids how to hunt will protect Wisconsin's traditions．Hunting is a way of life for many residents in the state．However, other people say giving kids control of weapons is asking for trouble．They worry that someone will get hurt．

　　Should kids be allowed to hunt? Student reporters Michael Tobin and Emily Jue express their opinions about the issue．

　　Yes．Hunting is a valuable skill for kids to learn．

　　I think children under the age of l2 should be able to hunt because hunting can be a very useful skill．If you were stranded(陷于困境的)in the wild with nothing but a gun, you would have a better chance of survival if you knew how to use it．

　　The law makes sure that kids learn with an adult present．Having an experienced hunter that you know teaching you is extremely valuable．Paul Huchette, a retired businessperson from Latrobe, Pa．, agrees．“Kids under the age of l2 should be able to hunt under the supervision(监管)of a parent,” Huchette says．

　　Michacl Tobin, Oregon

　　No．Hunting is dangerous for young children．

　　I believe that children should not be allowed to hunt．Placing a gun in a child's hand isn't safe and could result in unthinkable consequences．You are teaching young children to get joy through killing and by watching animals suffer．They can also use their guns at the wrong time for the wrong reasons．

　　Also, children aren't physically mature enough．They can easily miss their targets and hurt themselves or others．How would you feel if a bullet came whizzing(飞驰而过)by your house?

　　“Teaching young children a sport that involves killing an animal isn't very wise,” says Lily Cao, a fifth grader from Houston, Texas．

　　Emily Jue, Texas

(1)

We can learn from Para．2 that by lowering its hunting age, Wisconsin is likely to ________．
[　　]
A．	protect the state's hunting traditions
B．	stop l0-year-olds from hunting

(2)

How does Michael Tobin feel about the state's new law?
[　　]
A．	Inspired．
B．	Embarrassed．
C．	Upset．
D．	Doubtful．

(3)

Which of the following statements agrees with Emily Jue's view?
[　　]
A．	Children should be allowed to hunt together with parents．
B．	Many young children are not aware how to use guns properly．
C．	Parents should be patient while teaching children to hunt．
D．	Children are usually confused about what animals should be protected．

(4)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　DOYLESTOWN STATION, Pa．(CBS)－Marie Buonanno has boxes of holiday lights to decorate her house．She already has one tree up in her living room and a nativity scene．But this holiday season, she would not dare decorate outside．

　　" It is very disappointing that we can' t celebrate the Christmas holiday the way that we religiously choose to, " says Buonanno．

　　Her home only has a holiday wreath on the door, since the Doylestown Station Condominium Association told her the bylaws do not allow colored Christmas lights．Last year, she was fined ＄400, ＄ 10 for each day her lights were up．But she says she was the only one slapped with a fine．

　　"One of my neighbors that I spoke to a few days ago, who decorates with multicolored lights, says he never got a letter of warning or a fine．"

　　Only white, non-blinking lights are allowed outside．And you can only put up a single white, blue, or orange light in your windows．Neighbors collected 62 signatures to ask the Association board to allow colored Christmas lights．In response, the Association sent out a survey．

　　Out of 38 total responses, 19 voted for white lights, 14 voted for colored non-blinking lights, and 5 voted for colored blinking．The board said the vote was 19-14 against colored lights, interpreting the 5 votes as a separate category．

　　"As long as it" s tasteful, " says neighbor Marc Udell, "let the community do what the community is going to do．"

　　No one answered the door at the Association president* s house．Some neighbors say they like the look of white lights．

　　"Some colored lights are pretty and they have their place in neighborhoods, but you never really know how far people are going to go with them, " says Jeff Edwards．

　　It will be a holiday of white lights for Buonanno and her neighborhood．She says for now she will miss her colored lights and the holiday cheer they brought to her home．

My father is a smart man. He spent many years of his life listening to people’s arguments, first as assistant district lawyer and then as a judge. My dad knows rubbish rhetoric when he hears it.
One of his favorite phrases is: “If you don’t have anything smart to say, then don’t say it at all.” Yet, for all of his legal training and life experience, he can’t help but keep talking about the Mega Millions jackpot.
We all know the odds(几率)of winning the jackpot this evening with one ticket are extraordinarily low ... 1 in 175, 711, 536, to be exact. Still, people go out and buy hundreds of tickets with the hopes of becoming wealthier beyond their dreams. Why? There are two possible explanations for this “irrationality”(不理智).
One idea is that the way we calculate odds in our heads has nothing to do with mathematical odds in the traditional sense. We don’t go to the mathematical odds table and say, “Well, this would be a terrible investment. I think I’m better off putting my money in the bank!” Rather, it has everything with the ability to picture an event happening.
My father, for instance, watches the news every night and sees people winning the lottery(彩票). Therefore, he thinks the chance of him winning the lottery is much higher than they actually are.
The second thought is that the expected effect of playing cannot be represented merely by the odds. My father and, I’m sure, others get a thrill from the mere idea of winning. He loves imagining what it would be like to actually win and losing doesn’t really affect him. Sure, he’s disappointed, but it’s “better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” When you combine the utility of thinking you can win with the utility of actually winning (no matter how small the chance of that occurring), it’s worth it for many people to spend the one dollar on a ticket.
My analysis is that both factors are at play in taking a chance on the lottery. My father and others really do underestimate the odds of winning, but the thrill of participation is not denied by a realistic assessment of the odds. Still, I would probably put my finger on the scale for the first explanation.
All told, a review of the odds of other events happening confirms that there just aren’t many events that occur with less frequency than your winning the Mega Millions jackpot. Look at the graph below, you may understand some:

In many ways, it’s like the lottery, something that features often on television and about which people fantasize, but that rarely happens.
So, when you watch, along with my Pa, to see if your lucky number is drawn this evening, keep in mind three things: that your number almost certainly won’t come up; that you are still going to have fun; and that, finally, a lot of other things are more likely to happen—but getting eaten by a shark isn’t one of them.
【小题1】It can be learned from the article that ________.
