Love in a Box
When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment(a piece of work). On a Friday night I 32 at dinner table, “MY teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our valentines (情人节) on Monday”.
Mother said, “We’ll see,” and she continued eating.
What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box 33 my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me 34 to help me with my assignment.
All Saturday I waited 35 and with Sunday arriving, my worry increased, but I 36 an enquiry(询问) about the box might 37 anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that 38 trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 39 of different kinds. A (n) 40 shoebox rested on top of it. 41 flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started 42 your assignment.”
In the next hour my father 43 the shoebox into impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 44 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a 45 smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.
I answered him with a hug.
But inside, 46 danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much 47 to me, for his world consisted of work only.
The holiday party arrived 48 , and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until it was over.
On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to 49 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside.
The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 50 through years of other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 51 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.

I don’t remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. But it 36 annoy me, for 37 felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. 38 , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say anything in 39 . But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar 40 of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words stuck to me. But pride kept my conscience back, and I didn’t tell her I was 41 .
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts 42 to that night. By then I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very 43 , sometimes far away. But always it hid in the back of my 44 .
Well, the years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is 45 her mid-seventies and those hands I once thought to be so rough are 46 doing things for me and my family. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world, gets stains out of blue jeans and still 47 on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night. Through the years, my mother’s hands have put in countless hours of labor.
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to 48 the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my 49 , a familiar hand hesitantly stole 50 my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my eyebrow.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night, when my young voice 51 , “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I spoke out how sorry I was 52 that night. I thought she’d remember, 53 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 54 for my gentle mother and her 55 hands.

第一节：阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 A
Endless sea, sand and sunshine on a tiny island--everyone' s idea of heaven. Who wouldn' t want to live in such a place.?
One person who certainly does is Ben Southall, from the UK. The 34-year-old was one of more than 34,000 people who applied for the post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island, Australia, which the local government called "the best job in the world". The position starts in July and runs for six months. The salary is 150,000 Australian dollars(780,639 yuan).
Why Southall? Well, first let's take a look at the criteria(标准) for the job: "We're looking for applicants who like to have adventures, have a great love of the outdoors and have good commu-nication skills. "
On his application video, Southall expressed a love of adventure and included photographs of himself riding an ostrich(鸵鸟 ), running a marathon, diving, and kissing a giraffe. "From the time he was announced in the Top 50, and then the Top 16, Southall did a great job by showing true ex-citement about Queensland," Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said in a statement.
"His ideas for how he will make the role his own.., as well as his ability to rise to a challenge impressed the judges and helped him to win his place in the top job," Lawlor said.
Southall was born in Coventry, UK and used his parents' home as a base for his adventures. He had an old Land Rover that he used for a charity-fund-raising trek(跋涉) across Africa which in-volved joining in five marathons( a 42.16 km race) and climbing five mountains.
"It was sometimes hard work to make him get his head down and do his work because he always wanted to be outside," his mother said about his early years.
"He wanted to go surfing in South Africa, so he got a job house-sitting to pay for it. We regu-larly ask him when he is going to get a proper job, but he is confident and has a strong set of friends and is a great social animal. Now he has got the perfect job for his skills," said his father.
So, you see? No matter what type of person you are, there's always the possibility of getting a dream job. How' s that? Just read the job descriptions carefully and think about how your skills and qualities fit with the ones needed for the job. That' s what Southall did to get his job.
41. The post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island is said-to be the best job in the world mainly because of_____
A. a beautiful landscape B. a short working time
C. great pay for a fun job D. very good weather
42. According to Lawlor, what wasn' t the reason that helped Southall win the job?
A. His outstanding application video
B. His passion for the job and ability to face up to challenges
C. His great love of adventures
D. His true excitement about the Austrilian lifestyle
43. Which of the following statements about Southall is true?
A. He did a poor job in school when he was young.
B. He worked as a house-sitter to raise charity funds.
C. He has won five marathons.
D. He is good at communicating with others.

第二部分．阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节阅读下面五篇短文，从每题后所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports — and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them — there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity — physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other — which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
41. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _____.
A. the causes of unfitness B. unavoidable things in town
C. the things we can completely do away with D. bad features of modern living
42. We don’t get much out of separate sports because we _____.
A. don’t do them very often B. don’t do them actively enough
C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs D. don’t find them interesting
43. To be healthy we must _____.
A. keep fit and active B. have a sound mind
C. be active and practise Yoga D. keep fit and learn to relax
44. Our forefathers were healthy because______.
A. their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C. they spent most of the time out of doors
D. their environment was not polluted
