Driving to a store after a busy day at work, I saw a man standing near the store holding a sign that said, “Will work for food.” I knew at that moment that I was going into the store and   36  him something to eat.
As I   37   the car park, I saw in my car mirror a lady come out from a hairdresser’s and 38  the man. I thought she must be going to give him some   39   or something to help him out. In the store I was   40  to get the things I needed and also the chicken dinner and a soda that I wanted to give the man outside. I hurried out to my car and   41   that I was going to be able to hopefully help this man.
When I drove out of the car park, I couldn’t see the   42 . As I turned the corner I saw the man sitting in a   43  area away from the hairdresser’s and still   44  up the sign. I immediately  45  over and gave the man the dinner and soda and said, “  46  this will get you through today.” He looked at me and said, “Thank you so much!”
As I got back into my car, I looked in the   47   and saw the man swallowing the dinner like he hadn’t eaten for days.
I was so   48  that I was able to help him and at the same time I was so sad that the woman from the hairdresser’s,   49   , had asked the man   50   from her shop. It’s sad to say that   51  I live in a small city where homeless is not as   52   as in larger cities, people are uncomfortable with these people in  53 . All they need to do is lend a helping hand 54  and it could make a huge   55  in their lives

In the office of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, there is a picture of Catherine the Great, the legendary Russian Empress. When asked why she has the picture, Merkel says, “She was a strong woman”. Many say the same of Merkel.
The most powerful woman in the world, according to US Forbes magazine, was in China last week. She came to discuss trade and environmental issues with China’s top leaders. Germany’s first woman leader is known as a brave and practical statesman(政治家). Even since her time at school, she had the habit of getting everything in order. Every day before doing her homework she would clean the desk and think about what to do next. “I prefer a long time for full preparations to make my decision. But once I decide, I will stand up for what I believe,” Merkel said.
Perhaps it was good habits that helped her do well in her studies. At 32, she got a doctorate (博士学位) in physics and then she worked as a researcher.
However, the life of a scholar couldn’t put off her love of politics. While working in labs, Merkel took time off to read political books and at last joined a political party. “Her calmness helped her stand out in the party. She could always find a way out while others felt hopeless,” said one of her old friends.
In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany’s youngest chancellor since the second World War.
Now half way through her four-year term, the 53-year-old woman has made a name for herself both in Germany and abroad. At the EU summit in 2005 when France quarreled with Britain over the EU budget(预算), some people believed the EU was close to breaking down. But Merkel didn’t give up. She shuttled(穿梭) between the heads of the two powers and had them reached an agreement.
“Strength comes from composure(镇定) and courage. Many people say I am a strong woman. But I would rather say I have perseverance,” said Merkel.
小题1: Why does Merkel put a picture of Catherine the Great on the wall of her office?
A．Because Catherine the Great is beautiful.
B．Because Merkel wants to be a strong woman too.
C．Because Merkel likes the drawing skill of it.
D．Because it is very expensive.
小题2:What is the correct order of the following events?
a. became the German Chancellor
b. got a doctorate in physics and then she worked as a researcher
c. join a political party
d. visit China
e. take part in the EU summit
f. as Minister for the Environment
A．bcafdeB．cbfdaeC．bcfaedD．cbfaed
小题3:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Merkel usually is hurry to make a decision when facing difficulties.
B．At the EU summit in 2005, the relationship between French and Britain was in tension.
C．Merkel is a well-known leader all over the world.
D．She is outstanding because of her calmness.
小题4: What is the best title for the passage?
A．An excellent lecturerB．Germany’s iron lady
C．The change of a scholarD．The youngest chancellor

She began to use a wheelchair to get around in high school. Then she tried wheelchair race and was amazed.” Players crashed into each other and fell out of their chairs,” she says, “It was fun.”
Jean tried other wheelchair sports. At the University of Illinois, her wheelchair basketball team won two national titles.
Now Jean coaches and teaches. She tries to get people to set goals. “When I sign my autograph（亲笔签名）,says Jean, “I write, dream big and work hard.”

Last weekend, I was walking across the village green(草坪) when I saw an elderly gentleman on the bench, just overlooking the duck pond. I thought he looked a bit forlorn(被遗弃的) so I went over and sat next to him.
After a few   36   about how nice the weather was and how there were a lot of ducks in the pond today, he told me how he used to come with his wife and watch the children feed the ducks with their mums. They didn't have any   37   of their own..So they cherished being together even more.
He explained he had been married for 54 years   38   his wife died and how much he missed    39    all the little things with her, like a beautiful sunset. He now lives in a care home. I remarked at how wonderful it must've been to have been married for so long and to have so many happy memories. He took out a large    40  and wiped his eyes and said he had one regret that in all that time he   41   told her how much he really loved her.
He showed me a photograph of them when they were young. The photo was taken more than 50 years ago. He couldn't believe how the time had   42  . I tried to comfort him by explaining that his wife would be still    43   over him and he could talk to her   44   he wants and that she knows how much he loved her because she can see into his heart. 
The old man tried to   45   for blurting out his life story but I hushed him and said how privileged I felt he could talk to me and how much it meant to me.
The   46   I learned from this chance encounter is that we must tell the ones close to us how much we love and care for them and not take them for granted.
Don't   47   your kind acts until tomorrow; do them today because time flies.

In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of cake) and coffee. The small shop,  36  on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their  37 .
I  38 coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who’d point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the one two rows over.”
Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of school children would burst   39 the  shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and   40 on. I didn’t   41 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.
I came to know them pretty well. The girls would talk about school. The boys were more quiet, choosing not to   42   their secrets, but still, they’d wait every day in the store   43 their bus came.
Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare （车费） when a ticket went  44 — always repaid the next day．When ii snowed, the kids and I would wait  45 for a very late bus．They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay．At _ closing time I wouldn't  46 the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived．
I  47 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days．I enjoyed my pals （伙伴）, but it never  48  to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock．I  49 it was true, and he introduced himself   50 the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team．
"I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children．I  51 about them having to take two buses to get home．It  52  a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them．"
I told him it wasn't a big  53 ．that I enjoyed the kids．
"No, you don't understand．When they're with the doughnuts lady, I know they're  54 ．It is a big deal．And I'm grateful．"
So I was the Doughnuts lady．I not only had received a   55 ．I had become a landmark．

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack(裂缝) in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
This went on daily. The perfect pot was proud of its accomplishment. Of course, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.
“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologise to you.”
“Why?” asked the bearer. “What are you ashamed of?”
“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back. And you do no get full value for your efforts” the pot explained.
The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”
As they went up the hill, the cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it a little.
The bearer said, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?” That is because I have known about you, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walked back from the stream, you have watered them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house.”
小题1:Why did the cracked pot feel ashamed?
A．Because it didn’t hold water.
B．Because the water bearer didn’t like it.
C．It couldn’t water the flowers well.
D．Because it could only accomplish half of its load.
小题2:How would the cracked pot feel at the end of the story?
A．Delighted with itself.B．Disappointed with itself.
C．Prouder than the other pot.D．Still ashamed of itself.
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．There were flowers on both sides of the path.
B．The cracked pot was more useful than the perfect one.
C．We sometimes don’t have to mind too much the way we are.
D．The water bearer preferred the perfect pot to the cracked one.

The children and the residents eat lunch together and   42   activities such as music, painting, gardening, and   43   for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and   44   a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always somebody attending to (照顾) him. There are trips out and birthday parties, too.
The   45   are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual   46   and respond well because someone has time for them. They also learn that old people are not “different” or “frightening” in   47   way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to   48   them. The residents are happy because they feel   49   and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance, too. And the staff（全体职员） are happy because they see an improvement in the   50   and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.
