    Santa Can Come before Christmas
    It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables，when a young man asked me，“Can you tell me where the       counter（柜台） is? ”
    “Well， the milk is in the lower right corner，” I replied.
    Picking up my things，I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man       almost 10 bottles of milk.
    I asked，“Do you need a basket or a trolley？”
    “Sure，thank you.”he answered.
    I was       he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.
    I laughed and asked, ”Why so many bottles?”
    He smiled and said, ”These are for my street  dogs.  Today, I want to be a Santa           them.”
    I said,” Well ,it`s too            for you to be a Santa,It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”
    He              at me and walked a few steps,as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.
           ,we met again at the bread counter.
    “So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs ,Mr.Santa.”
    He smiled and said, ”Yes ,These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June, Santa is a representation(象征) of surprises and             . Santa comes in December as we             him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point of time ,no matter which month it is. Maybe when you offered help to me by getting me a trolley ,there  was a           Santa in you ,When we offer food to a poor man or a(n)             to someone who is caught in the rain ,we are being Santa there, So when you offer help to others or get help from others, just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”
    He left and I was happy that I had met him. It was right to understand that Santa can come before Christmas, We just need to realize that he is around us by             happiness and unconditional love.

    Can plant eat people? Probably not. But there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat- eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).
    The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of the book.. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly(苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes very quickly. Then the fly can’t go out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly. Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all the important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen. So some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea.
    根据短文内容判断。
    1. The Venus flytrap grows in wet parts of the United States.
    2. The Venus flytrap is a kind of plant.
    3. The underlined word “presses” probably means（挤、压） in Chinese.
    4. In the world, many animals eat plants but plants never eat animals.
    5. From the passage, we know that not only animals eat plants, but also some plants eat animals.

    A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to _   _ the stress in work and life.
    The professor went to the kitchen and returned_   _a pot（壶） of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some common looking; some_   _, some cheap. And he told them to help _   _ to the coffee.
    When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were_   _， leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is_   _for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root(根源) of your _   _ and stress.

    Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, _   _ and position in society are the cups. They are just _   _to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by only paying attention _   _the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has _   _us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”
    The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make _   _of everything.
    Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak _   _. And leave the rest to God.

    It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that’s been going around?
    A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.
    On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.
    Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.
    The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.
    However, good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统).
    小题1:If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ________.
    A．a weekB．two weeks
    C．ten daysD．twenty days
    小题2:According to the passage, which is TRUE of the flu?
    A．It first happened in 1919.
    B．It usually doesn’t give you fever.
    C．It is easy to deal with.
    D．It can kill people sometimes.
    小题3:If you get a flu vaccine, ________.
    A．it can’t stop you from getting the flu virus
    B．it won’t cause your body to develop antibodies
    C．your body will develop antibodies
    D．your body will get a large amount of flu viruses
    小题4:We need to get a flu vaccine every year because ________.
    A．we probably have a cold in winter
    B．the flu virus changes every few years
    C．the flu is very dangerous
    D．you don’t need to take any medicine after that
    小题5:The following ways can help stop the flu EXCEPT ________.
    A．staying indoorsB．getting regular exercise

    When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy Christmas presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
    I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
    Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now."
    Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
    I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

    How can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “this is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it.”
    Certainly not! You don’t have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.
    I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn’t.
    Remember that you get what you pay. You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively (积极地), you also have to act positively.
    If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.
    小题1:The writer’s attitude towards destiny is that ________.
    A．we can change itB．we can’t depend on ourselves
    C．we must accept itD．we have to suffer it
    小题2:According to the passage, what should you do if something goes wrong?
    A．Regard it as a little failure.B．Get your hands off your phone.
    C．Sit around and wait for luck.D．Do something to solve the problem.
    小题3:The underlined word “turn out” in the passage means ________.
    A．翻转B．关闭
    C．变得D．清空
    小题4:From the passage, we know ________.
    A．we only need to hope for the best in our life.
    B．we can get what we pay if we think positively.
    C．the woman has tried her best to improve her life.
    D．maybe our luck will change if we do something about the life
    小题5:What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Understand YourselfB．Improve Your Life
    C．Believe in YourselfD．Accept Your Life
