A few days ago, I got a letter from a student. In his letter, he told me, “I have this friend at school. She’s one of my good friends but lately she has been
1
strange. When I talked to her the other day, she said coldly, ‘Do I look like I care?’ She was being all strange to me. She told me
2
she thought I was a bad friend, but she still thinks I am her best friend. I am so confused.”
In my letter in reply, I gave him my advice:
After reading your question, I can understand why you’re confused. It sounds like your relationship with your friend is a little shaky. There could be several reasons for her
3
. For example, maybe she has a lot on her mind and is
4
a few challenges of her own. She may not feel comfortable talking to anyone about them
5
and may just need a little time to sort through her own feelings. Or, on the day you talked to her, she could have been having a bad day and didn’t realize she was very cold to you. I could list a few more
6
for you, but you know,
7
, the only person who knows why your friend reacted that way is your friend. My
8
to you is to tell her how you feel. Let her know she hurt your feelings and ask why on some days she’s nice to you, and on other days she isn’t
9
nice. It could be that your friend is making some other new friends at school and is having difficulty
10
her old relationships. Whatever her reasons are, you should let her know that you are a unique, caring person who certainly deserves a good friendship at school,
11
you wouldn’t have taken the time to write me. If your
12
with this person fades a bit, it’s OK, because you will develop may other friendships.

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven
1
years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life
2
. Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.
Finally, I felt my
3
at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what
4
me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house
5
did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and
6
asked him to leave me alone.
Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,
7
I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely
8
from my mind, reached through the bars (护栏). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched
9
. And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me
10
so important? For the
11
time, I saw my brother, not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favored (宠爱), but through the eyes of a

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. In this sense they mean that the home is very important and
1
. Most people in Britain live in houses
2
flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个人的); they can
3
them and change them in any way they
4
. In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private spacewhich is
5
for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to
6
their space. Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train? If you are on the beach you may have spread your
7
around you; on the train you may have
8
your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a
9
to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the opposite side to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no
10
on my side of the table at all. I was made rather
11
. I thought he thought that he owned the
12
table. I took various papers out of my bag and put them on
13
! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had
14
his space ! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He
15
moved his case to his side of the table. ( Of course , it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me !

It was the night of the full moon,a time which always drives Java’s young people mad with excitement.
Fireworks were lit long before the moon
1
.The big noise brought people out
2
the warm night to enjoy the interesting scene.Everywhere,there were the paper remains of
3
fireworks lying on the ground.Little boys
4
more and covered their ears as they waited
5
for the explosions.
The moon appeared above the horizon(地平线):huge,
6
ball high above the city,and the
7
filled with people,as Java began to enjoy one of the year’s greatest
8
:‘the Night of the Full Moon’,a festival(节日)that is especially popular
9
young people.
More and more young Javanese
10
together and walked slowly through the
11
. Joking and chatting,they moved towards the mountain
12
the city.They continued to climb
13
they reached the old temple(寺庙)at the
14
of the mountain.
After they were
15
the temple,they drank their water and ate their moon-cakes—delicious home-made ones,
16
of dried fruit and nuts.Outside,on the mountain,young people
17
cross-legged in circles,chatting and telling each other jokes.And
18
,in their hundreds,more young people continued to make their way up the mountain to
19
the brightly shining moon.
By midnight,the fireworks had stopped shooting up from the
20
city in the valley below them.But during the night,the sound continued to be heard from the distance.

Mr.Glen is a millionaire.Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he
1
up his small company.Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his
2
expensive “school” fees.He always
3
a Ph.Degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting an undertaking.Before
4
, he bought a Rolex watch with the
5
made through years of work after school and the scholarships.At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check.The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be
6
down for inspection.Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax.And he worried about paying
7
for his watch.So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless
8
.When he was
9
of his ‘smarts’, immediately,
10
the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which
11
nearly ¥100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen’s words.Glen was amazed.
12
he understood why, he was taken to the office to be
13
strictly.For many times of entry-exit
14
he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment.The officers
15
every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if
16
reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(伪劣)goods, he would be
17
according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too.He said that this made a deep
18
on him, because an additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of
19
, which he would
20
as the secret of his success forever.

III. Cloze (15 points)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word that best fits the context.
When I was younger, I thought that boys and grown men shouldn’t cry. The tears were signs of being
1
, which a man isn’t supposed to be.
But later, I discovered that courage isn’t all about trying to keep all the pain in check and trying to hide the
2
.
My 18-year-old sister eloped(私奔) and with it, I saw how weak my father’s heart was. We were used to seeing him as a(n)
3
father.
For three days he wouldn’t talk. He would just sit
4
outside our house in the dark. On the fourth night, I sat beside him and
5
him to tell me what he feels about everything.
It has been years since I have laid my hand on my father’s shoulder as we have drifted apart (疏远) farther and farther while I was
6
up. That night though, I sensed my father trying to
7
his pain and I wanted him to be able to let it out. We all have cried over what happened except him.
The simple touch and my words, “Dad, it’s not your
8
”, broke my father’s dam(水闸). In the darkness, he began to cry. I
9
his shoulders shaking as he whispered, “
10
did I go wrong? All I ever wanted was for my children to grow up right. Why couldn’t your sister wait?”
I understood then why he
11
to be in the dark.
12
being there, he hoped to spare his family of a father’s pain. His tears,
13
we didn’t see them before that night, were there all the same.
I saw his

Children find meanings in their old family tales.
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,
1
all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times
2
his strong-minded grandfather was nearly
3
, he loaded his family into the car and
4
them to see family members in Canada with a
5
, “there are more important things in life than money”.
The
6
took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to
7
house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was
8
that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset.To his surprise, they weren’t.
9
, their reaction echoed (共鸣) their great-grandfather’s.What they
10
was how warm the people were in the house and how
11
of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding that family stories have surprising power to help children
12
hard times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon reflects a growing
13
in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university
14
of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to
15
parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The
16
is telling the stories in a way children can
17
. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that
18
, “ When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s
19
, and make eye contact (接触) to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children
20
they should take from the story and what the moral is.

Charlie Chaplin was the first international star of the modern era(年代). He was especially beloved for his Little Tramp
1
. He was the first screen artist to write,
2
and perform in his own films; in fact,
3
Charlie Chaplin even wrote the music for his movies. He was also the first artist to use his work to pass a
4
of equality and justice for all —36for the "little guy". Charlie Chaplin's career and life made
5
the first global icon (偶像); his too-small hat, his too large shoes and his trademark moustache were instantly
6
by audiences from Chicago to China, from Iowa City to India. And they
7
are today. All of these make Charlie Chaplin the first citizen of our global village.
Chaplin, a native of London, was born in
8
on April
9
,
10
11
to music hall performers. Chaplin only saw his 4ltwice until the age of seven. The man
12
him and his mother about a year after Chaplin was
13
. During Chaplin's earliest years, his mother was a(n)
14
and performer. Then her voice gave out, her stage career
15
, and she began actively
16
Church of England services. At the age of
17
, Chaplin's mother was considered as the insane and sent to Cane Hill lunatic asylum (疯人院), and the
18
sent Charlie and his brother to live with his father,
19
had by then stopped all payments of child support.
Charlie Chaplin lived with his father only a short time
20
his mother was released from the lunatic asylum and then 5lCharlie and his brother, to live with her once again.

a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obviousl
2
and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200
3
campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere
4
where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel
5
. So I
6
him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
7
a shaky voice he
8
answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and
9
some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could
10
that this whole experience was
11
to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to
12
him, either. It was going to take more time and
13
.
The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone,
14
out the window.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my
15
about him known. I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him
16
they could.
The days flew by fast. When the “last dance” came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing
17
. He owned the dance floor
18
meaningful time with others. I couldn’t’ believe it was him.
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of
19
every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as
20
as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”

in the middle of the main oad in the village. It was very big and shaped more or less

they tried, they couldn’t move it.
All of this time a young boy was

the men trying to move the rock.. “Excuse me,” he said, “but I think I could move it.” “You,” they shouted, “
7
are you talking about? All of us have just tried and can’t
8
move it a little.” They all

the boy.
The next

, the rock was gone. More people ran out to see for themselves. It was true the rock was not in the road any more. The little boy stood in the street, smiling, “ I told you I could move it. I did it last night.”
12
he walked over to
13
the rock had been and
14
some dirt with a shovel( 铲 ) “You see,” he said, “ I dug a hole
15
the rock and it rolled down into the hole by itself. Then I covered it with dirt.”
