My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where “shmily” would pop up. Little notes with “shmily” were found on car seats, or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel(壁炉架)and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.

It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love --- one that is pure and enduring (持久的). However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. It was based on passionate(热情的)affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.

But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.

“Shmily.” It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came: S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.

1.According to the passage, where may the word “shmily” be found?

a.in the flour containers

b.on the mirror

c.on the sheet of toilet paper

d.on pillows

e.on the furniture

A.a, b     B. b, c     C. a, d     D. b, e

C.how the author appreciated her grandparents’ game

D.how the author’s grandparents cared for each other

A.appear    B. change    C. survive    D. work

4.According to the passage, the author _________.

Early this morning, I got up to make a batch of Rice Krispie Treats for my neighbor across the hall. She barely greets me when we see each other, and her sweet little boy, who's now four,  has picked up her mother's manner and will not talk to me, either.

Last Monday, she had called the firefighters when a pan I'd forgotten on the stove caused my flat to fog up while I was out taking a walk. When I came home, the street in front of our apartment house was blocked by a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance! The instant I saw them, I remembered the pan! Luckily, nothing serious had happened, and all my neighbors agreed with the firefighter who said, "It could have happened to anyone." When I thanked the neighbor who had called the firefighters-let's call her Ivy-and apologized for causing the trouble, she just asked if my cats were all right.When I said they were fine, she said, "Well, that's ok then," and turned into her flat.l felt strangely safe, knowing that even though we don't get along, she'd done the right thing and didn't blame me.So, the Rice Krispie Treats.

Last Christmas, my neighbor carelessly let it out that she was holding a grudge (怨恨) towards me because of an incident we'd had four years ago.I had particularly apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to improve our relationship. She would not accept my apology.

It had taken me a lot of courage to apologize and ask that question instead of insisting that we both shared responsibility for what had happened.Her flat-out refusal to make amends(补偿) really shocked and saddened me.After that, I decided I'd just leave her be-a relationship takes two to work.So, you see, I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again, leaving me standing on her doorstep, facing the closed door and holding my plate of treats. I know some people have a hard time understanding how the possibility of rejection can make an adult so afraid, but that's just the way I felt.

Then, I reminded myself of how loving and good I had felt yesterday when I'd done some random acts of kindness (thanks to helpothers.org), after telling myself: Feet the fear,  and do it anyway! So I put the squares of Rice Krispie Treats on a beautiful plate, opened my apartment  door-and there she was, standing in the hallway.I smiled and said, "Hi," but when she saw me, she turned on her heels and went back inside, even though she seemed to have just stepped out.I went after her, regardless, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I've got something for you ! I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you were paying attention on Monday." When she heard me speaking, she turned around. As I held the plate towards her, explaining these were very sweet American treats, and that she could just try and see whether she and her family would like them, her eyebrows winged up-and she took the plate.l was so happy and excited.We then talked a bit about how she'd become aware of the smoke in my flat, and parted ways.

Back in my place, I did a "happy dance", because I had dared to be kind even though I hadn't been sure at all my kindness would be welcome.I do hope that our relationship will slowly get better; I know I was and still am biased(存有偏见)towards her at times, but even if we don't make amends, I want to be able to be kind without depending on other people's behaviors and reactions .

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

[l]Fear and pain are two of the most useful things that human beings and animals have, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child would burn himself again and again, because fear would not warn himself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself before. A really fearless soldier is not a good soldier because he will soon be killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which human beings and animals might soon die out.

[2] In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: A plane may crash on your house, or you may get cancer!

[3] The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but to use fear as your servant and guide instead. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

[4] In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, then you jump out of the way, and all is well.

[5] In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to ___________. For example, you can’t prevent a plane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear is no longer of any use, and you have to try to overcome it.

“It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” — these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying  'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.

1.Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.

A.they watch TV too often

B.they have done too much homework

C.they have to fulfill too many duties

D.teachers are too strict with them

2.By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.

A.when everything can be taught at school

B.when every child can be educated

C.when children are permitted to receive education

D.when children are allowed to do what they wish to

3.The main idea of the passage is that _______.

A.parents should leave their children alone

B.kids should have more activities at school

C.it's time to be more strict with our kids

D.parents should always set a good example to their kids

 

阅读理解。
     A car that runs on coffee is unveiled (shown to the public for the first time) today but at between 25
and 50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won't please any motor industry accountants.
     Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for £400
and it was chosen because it looked like the time-traveling DeLorean in the movie Back To The Future. The
car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules
(颗粒). It has been built by a team from the BBCI science programme Bang Goes The Theory and will go
on display at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester to show how fuels other than traditional petrol can
power vehicles.
     The team calculates the Carpuccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee (咖啡粉)-about 56 cups
of espressos (浓咖啡) per mile. The journey will use about 70 kilos of ground coffee which, at supermarket
prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost between £910 and £l,820,
or between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey. In total, the trip will cost 11,760 espressos,
and the team will have to take 6coffee breaks' roughly every 30 to 45 miles to pour in more granules. They
will also have to stop about every 60 miles to clean out the 'coffee filters' to rid them of the soot and tar which
is also generated by the process. So despite a top speed of 60 mph, the many stops mean the going will be
slow, with the journey taking around ten hours.
     Sadly, the inventors will still have to pay duty on their coffee fuel-even though tax collectors at Her
Majesty's Revenue and Custom haven't yet worked out how much.
     Nick Watson, producer of Bang Goes The Theory, said, "Coffee, like wood or coal, has some carbon
content so you can use it as a fuel. The coffee needs to be very dry and in granules to allow the air to move
through the pile of coffee as it burns. The brand doesn't matter." He said the same technology could be used
to power a car on other unusual fuels, such as woodchips or nut shells, construction or agricultural waste.
1. Which is the right way to choose the coffee used as fuels to run the Car-puccino?
[     ]
A. It should be very dry.
B. The stronger, the better.
C. The smaller the granules are, the better.
D. It should be of a certain brand.
2. What can be inferred from the passage?
[     ]
A. All kinds of materials can be used as fuels.
B. The Car-puccino will be put into the market soon.
C. Nick Watson is the designer of the Car-puccino.
D. Much remains to be improved for the Car-puccino.
3. The Car-puccino has its disadvantages EXCEPT that _____.
[     ]
A. it makes a lot of noise
B. it runs at a very high cost
C. it has to stop to be refueled very often
D. it's not good enough for long-distance journey
4. How much ground coffee will be used to cover a distance of 126 miles in this car?
[     ]
A. About 70 kilos.
B. About 42 kilos.
C. About 32 kilos.
D. About 30 kilos.
