A friend and I were standing in line at the grocery store the other day, and I was telling her how lazy my children were．I had come in from work that morning, and like most times, my house was wrecked.
“I believe children nowadays are just out for what they can get．They can never help keep our house clean.” I said, feeling unhappy.
“Do you know how happy you are?” a woman behind us asked．“I would love to go home and find my house a mess．I wouldn’t mind my floor being dirty．Nor would I mind the dirty clothes being piled high．I wouldn’t even mind anyone talking about my dirty home．I would love it．I would love to kick my way through the house just to get to my kids and be able to hug them, kiss them and tell them how much I love them．You see, my two children were killed in an accident． My house stays clean; my clothes stay put up; the dishes are done.”
“There are no fingerprints on my walls．There are no sounds of arguing, either．So you see, you are very lucky．I would give anything to be going through what you are now! How I’d love to be able to hold my kids, wipe away their tears and share their dreams! I wouldn’t care how my house looked．I would be happy just to have them.”

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old．My mother told us that we would not be   26  Christmas gifts because there was not enough money．I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 27 ?" Just when I started to  28  that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women  29  at our house with gifts for all of us．For me they brought a doll．I felt such a sense of 30  that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school．I wasn’t   31 ．Somebody had thought  32  of me to bring me a gift．
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my  33 Christmas there special and memorable, I  34  remembered the women’s visit．I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of  35  for as many children as I could possibly reach．
So I   36  a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help．We gathered about 125 orphans （孤儿） at the Christmas party．For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,   37  with a child’s name．We wanted all of them to know they were  38．Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I   39  them that they couldn’t open their presents   40  every child had come forward．Finally the   41  they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three．Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles  42  up the room．The   43  in the room was obvious, and   44  wasn’t just about toys．It was a feeling — the feeling I knew   45 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit．I wasn’t forgotten．Somebody thought of me．I matter．

Some people have very good memories, and can  easily  learn quite long poems by __heart__ . There are other people who can only __remember__ things that they have said again and again.

Birthdays often bring surprises. But this year’s surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is __21__ one of the most surprising.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts __22__ that one of the most recognizable __23__ of William Shakespeare is a fake (赝品).
This __24__ that we no longer have a good __25__ of what Shakespeare looked like. “It’s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare are unreliable because many of them are __26__ of this one,” said an expert from Britain’s National Portrait Gallery.
The _27_ comes after four months of testing. Experts from the gallery say the image — commonly known as the “Flower portrait” — was actually __28__ in the 1800s, two centuries __29_  Shakespeare’s death.
The art experts who work at the gallery say they used modern chemistry technology to __30__ the paint on the picture. These checks found traces (痕迹) of paint deep in the picture __31__ about 1814.
Shakespeare __32__ in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was __33__ there was a new interest in Shakespeare’s__ 34__ ,” Tanya Cooper, the gallery’s 16th century curator (馆长) said.
The __35__ picture has often been used as a cover for __36__ of his plays. It is called the “Flower portrait” because one of its __37__, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“There have always been __38__ about the authenticity (真实性) of the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture (画像技法),” he said.
Two other images of Shakespeare are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will __39__later in May. But for now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a __40__.

I had been to several doctors as a child, but I have a special place in my heart for Dr. Vincent. He was a Pediatric Cardiologist at UCLA back in 1971 who saved my life. I was eight years old at the time with a severe heart problem and I needed heart surgery. My Mom did not have the money, and without the surgery there was a real good chance I would not live to be thirteen years old. After contacting several organizations Dr. Vincent was able to get financial help for me through United Way, a Crippled Children’s Organization.
Dr. Vincent was a handsome man; he was also very gentle and caring. I remember being in the hospital for an Angiogram test, and during the procedure I was crying terribly, so the medical staff called in Dr. Vincent to calm me down, and he was able to comfort me when no one else could. Then the time came for me to have heart surgery; there was a fifty- percent chance that I would not make it through the surgery because it was experimental. At the time I was only the second or third person to have this procedure done. I was absolutely terrified, and again Dr. Vincent reassured me he would see to it that everything would be all right.
I had a lot of confidence and trust in Dr. Vincent; He came to see me after the surgery, which was extremely painful but very successful, and brought me a stuffed animal. I was so surprised to get this gift from Dr. Vincent; I gave him a hug. I guess Dr. Vincent must have known I was feeling very lonely and scared. You see, I had no family or friends visit me while I was in the hospital except for my Mom, and I am not sure why. I do know one thing; I had a wonderful doctor who took the time to help a scared little girl who felt all alone.
This was twenty eight years ago, so wherever you are Dr. Vincent, I want to thank you for not only saving my life, but you helped me live a normal productive life, and for showing me that you truly cared, for that I will be eternally grateful to you.
小题1:Why did Dr. Vincent have a special place in her heart? Because________.
A．Dr. Vincent was handsome
B．Dr. Vincent was caring and kind
C．Dr. Vincent carried out the operation.
D．Dr. Vincent offered the money the operation needed.
小题2:Dr. Vincent was called in during my test to ________________.
A．feed herB．comfort herC．scare herD．have the surgery.
小题3:Which of the following is true except ___________.
A．the operation was experimental.B．she didn’t trust in Dr. Vincent
C．the operation would be extremely painfulD．she felt scared and all alone
小题4:How did Dr. Vincent get the money for the operation?
A．He collected it in the hospital.B．He saved the money day by day
C．He got help from an organization.D．He borrowed the money from his friends
