I worked in a   22  doctor's office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run   23  than usual.It seemed I was going to be late   24  home and my husband, being the   25  person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe  26  I hurried, I could still make it home.
I was heading inside to   27  for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter, I heard them asking for   28  to the local hospital.It was the same hospital that I had just   29  a few minutes ago.
The young man at the counter was trying to be   30  in explaining how to get there, with two other people making   31 .One of them was   32  trying to give them a whole different route back.It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, "Would you like to follow me to the  33  ?"
A look of  34  crossed the woman's face.
"I'm going right by there," I said, which wasn't a( an)   35  since I had just made up my mind to do  36  that.
I got in my car and began the journey back.I was trying to watch to be sure they were right  37  me.I took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to   38 .I felt better than I had all day and my headache was   39  gone.
Later, as I arrived home, my husband teased, "So you aren't ever late any more."
"Sometimes it's  40   to be late," I said, happy inside my heart.

In 2004,I was 22 years old and had just come back to Brazil after 14 months in England,holding my Cambridge Proficiency certificate.After nervously  21  a short training course,I began to give classes to my 12 students,all of them older than I was. I  22  hard to remain clam in class and  23  they wouldn't find out how unconfident I felt most of the time.I was quite _24_,actually,until the end of  25  and the night of the final oral test.
The test was going to start at 7 pm,and at 6:50, I_ 26  myself in the teachers bathroom to  27  all the test questions again.I really wanted to learn the 28  by heart so no one would think I was an inexperienced tester.The  29  is,I actually locked myself in the bathroom.I  30  couldn't get out!The bell rang at 7 pm and I could hear the noise in the halls  31  the students went to their rooms.I tried hard to 32  the bathroom door,but failed.
I heard the cleaning lady’s voice and asked for help as  33  as I could, However, she wasn't exactly a thoughtful person, and started  34 :“Diana’s locked in the bathroom!”Shame had fallen upon me!  35  , the course director, the secretary and some teachers were outside the bathroom trying to get me out, and,  36  ,my students gathered outside too, happily saying things like“Aren’t we  37 ! No test today!”All I could do was 38  , and my entire  39  was waiting for me outside, naughty smiles on their faces.“ 40 !Teacher.”They said,“We know you are human too!”
They all passed their test.True to the Brazilian style, we all went out for a beer afterwards, and laughed the whole thing off.

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very valuable lesson in life by the great example you   31 . When we were eating at that cafe in Boston and a person who had  32 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without   33 , you went over and   34  the extra $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you   35  threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said something like, “Some kid will really enjoy   36  this.”
Last week, a young man   37  me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have   38  money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much   39  is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car   40  he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15   41 , which came to a little over $20. That is an easy mistake as both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and   42  you did that night at the cafe in Boston. I handed the man $6. He was so   43  and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s   44  to give than to receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the   45  and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there, just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had  41 _ a beautiful sports car in a showroom, and knowing his father could well  42   it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day came near, the young man awaited 43 that his father had bought the car. 44  , on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his  45  study room. His father told him how  46  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how  47  he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped (包装)  48  box.                                                        
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and  49  a lovely, leather-bound (皮纸封面) Bible,  50  the young man’s name pressed in gold.  51 , he raised his voice to his father, and said “With  52  your money, you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in  53 . He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very  54 , and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him  55  that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram  56  his father had passed away, and willed all his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and  57 things.
When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden  58   and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible  59  as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
Suddenly, a car key dropped from the back of the  60  . It had a tag (标签) with the date of his graduation on it, and the words PAID IN FULL.

During the twentieth century, cars, electric lights, space travel and amazing advances in medicine changed people’s lives. So what might this new century bring? There are hundreds of predictions flying around — let’s have a light-hearted look at some of them.
In a recent UK survey, teenagers were asked to make predictions about the year 2020. One of the most common predictions was that school uniforms won’t be around. They also predicted that both girls and boys will wear make-up more often, and more than 75% of men will wear skirts regularly. My dad is 65 next Saturday — I think I’ll buy him a skirt as a birthday present and tell him he’ll soon be in fashion!
Other predictions involve changing roles of men and women. By 2017, some people say that single men of working age will form more than 10% of all families. It is also predicted that washing powder advertisements will include more men because more of them will do housework. I’ll tell that to my husband when he gets home and see how keen he is to wash the dishes!
Many predictions are about crime and safety problems. Some people think that crime will improve and the world will become a more peaceful place. Others believe that crime is going to worsen and that people will stay at home becoming completely dependent on the Internet for shopping and work. It is also predicted that you will need an electronic card to get into parks as parents demand safe play areas for their children. This is old news for me --- our local government is going to introduce one this summer.
Technology is predicted to play an even more important role in our lives in the future. Some parents might have cameras at home so they can keep an eye on their children while they are out. Quick, kids, turn off the TV and do your homework!
Here’s another prediction. Researchers have concluded that cultural activity may add years to your life. The cinema, theatre and concerts may give us a longer life because they encourage strong feelings. Well, we’re watching Bridget Jones’ Diary this Friday night. Will that help us live longer?
Let’s finish up with my favourite prediction. In the future, elderly people are going to make up a larger proportion of the world’s population than ever before. In Britain, an estimated 100,000 people now in their thirties may live to be 100. And that includes me! I’ll have a big, big party, I promise!

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know if you think you are a brave person or a coward(胆小鬼). But you will never really know the answer to that question until you are tested in real life. Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real danger, they act like cowards. Other people think of themselves as cowardly, but when they meet danger, they act like heroes.?
Lenny Sputnik had always thought of himself as a nervous person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and his health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. Then, on 15th January 1982, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. Then he saw a woman in the ice-cold water. Suddenly Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very calm and did a very courageous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, swam to the woman, and kept her head above the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny Sputnik, it was not seventy-nine.?
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. This chemical is called adrenalin. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and are ready to fight or run away. However, when you are completely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this happens, the muscles become very hard and you find that you cannot move at all. You are then disabled with fear. That is why, when we are very frightened, we sometimes say that we are ‘petrified’. This word comes from the Greek word ‘peters’ which means ‘stone’. We are so frightened we have become like stone.?
小题1: According to the writer's opinion, a brave person can be judged by ______
A.his wordsB.his thought?C.his actionD.his looks?
小题2:From what Lenny did, we can conclude that __________?
A.Lenny had a good chanceB.Lenny was brave?
C.Lenny liked swimmingD.Lenny wanted to be a hero?
小题3: In great danger, a hero always keeps __________.?
A.nervousB.worried?C.calmD.disappointed?
小题4: Adrenalin in our body is ________.?
A.harmfulB.useless?C.changeableD.dangerous?
小题5:If a person's body produces too much adrenaline, he will ________.?
A.become strongerB.lose his feeling and power?
C.become a stoneD.become a hero
If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn’t breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, lift his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn’t work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (鼻孔)together with your fingers .Open you mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth ,and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.
To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If , in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey color, you can feel no pulse(脉搏). Then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.
With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don’t be too hard or you may break a rib (肋骨). Check how effective you are by seeing if his color improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.
小题1:This passage is mainly about __________.      .
A.how to save people out of the water
B.how to give first aid to people who are drowning
