    Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.
    He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food，Fresh air，Horse riding，Walking，Fishing，Cheap and interesting.”
    “This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”
    He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.
    But four days later, he returned home.
    “What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
    “Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”
    “Oh. What?”
    “Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”
    “What's wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”
    “I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”
    “Lucky you!”
    “You don't understand,” Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
    “A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “ and you are complaining!”
    “Let me finish,” Henry said. “On the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn't dare (敢)stay for dinner!”

    小题3:B
    小题4:B
    小题5:C
    假日里，亨利喜欢到海边去旅游。有一次，他想去西山农场享受一下田园风光，并计划在那儿度过一个月的时间。可是令人惊奇的是，才去四天之后他就回来了。当朋友问起其中的缘由时，亨利说道：第一天，农场里死了一只羊，晚餐时美美地吃了一顿烤羊肉；第二天农场死了一头牛，又吃了一顿烧牛肉；第三天农场死了一头猪，结果又吃了一顿烤猪肉。可是，到了第四天，农场主死了，我不敢再留下来吃饭了。
    小题1:第二段的首句“…but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper.”即是答案的出处。
    小题2:本题考查根据语境进行分析判断的能力。由上下文，显然可知这是报纸上的一则广告信息。
    小题3:本题考查通过上下文对词汇的推测能力。根据亨利的叙述可得出此答案。
    小题4:这由“A different meat every day, and you are complaining!”一句可知。
    小题5:本来打算要在乡村农场过一个暑假，结果四天之后就回来了。这能不是个短暂的假期吗？用此作标题既切合题意，又具有幽默的味道。

    Do your parents ever say, “act like a lady” or “be a gentleman” to you? But in the eyes of today’s teenagers, what should a lady or a gentleman be like? Let’s take a look.
    What is a gentleman? The girls have their ideas:
    Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou: A gentleman doesn’t always get angry. He wants others to be well and happy. He is always ready to help. There is a boy in my class and I think he is a gentleman. If I don’t do well in the English exam, he will say, “You will do better next time.” That makes me feel happy.
    Chen Tingting of Shenzhen: A gentleman always says, “Ladies first” When students clean up the classroom, he does the heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There are no gentlemen in my class. When there is something to eat, the boys in my class always get them before girls !
    What is a lady？ Boys tell us what they think a lady is:
    Wu Yifan of Dalian: A lady is quiet and kind, but she’s not shy(害羞) and she can talk about her ideas in front of others. To me, Dong Jie, a film star, is a lady. She is pretty and she kind. She does a lot for others.
    Wang Lichao of Tianjin: A lady is not just beautiful but clever. She never says bad words. She is quiet and kind to others. I don’t think there is a lady in my class. Most of the girls are “wild beauties”, I think.

     “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
    We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked around aimlessly.
    A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
    But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits(容许) it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
    I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
    I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
    In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.      
    All the lights were off except father’s.
    Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking me underneath the covers (掖被子) while I am sleeping.
    This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
    The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none!
    小题1:Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
    a. I opened the door and entered the house.
    b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
    c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
    d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
    e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
    A．b-e-d-c-aB．b-e-c-d-aC．b-e-a-c-dD．b-e-c-a-d
    小题2:What made the writer think of his childhood?
    A．The sight of the street lights.
    B．The sight of the empty street.
    C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
    D．The sight of light in his own house.
    小题3:What can we infer about the reason why the father often shouts at his son?
    A．The father is getting older and older.
    B．The son has more fashionable opinions than his father.
    C．They usually disagree with each other.
    D．The father has got used to being a leader for long.
    小题4:What conclusion（结论）can be drawn after reading the passage?
    A．The father treats his son in an unfair way.
    B．The father is actually kind to his son.
    C．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
    D．The father is always finding mistakes with his son.
    小题5:Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A． The Generation GapB．ASleepless Summer Night
    C．An Iron DoorinsideD．Father’s Love

    Not long ago, I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer, a friend of mine. “I’ve realized I want to be around people who make me happy,” she wrote, “I’ve been seeing how I feel after communicating with different people and making a mental list of who I feel good about. And you’re on my list.”
    Then she invited me — and 11 other women— to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. We’d chat, eat, and watch feel-good movies. She made it clear in her invitation that there was no stress to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful! I e-mailed her back immediately. I was in.
    Later, Jennifer told me she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation. Though all the women were willing to join, some said they didn’t see themselves as cheerful people. “I’ve told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy,” she says.
    Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer’s make sense. In a US study, researchers measured(测量) the happiness of 4739 people at regular intervals (间隔) over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on(取决于) the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to be the most contagious (传染性的) among friends of the same sex.
    “People with more supportive friends are less likely to develop sadness,” says Dr Toupey Luft, a psychologist in Penticyon, British Columbia. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive(乐观的) relationships to your social circle. Here’s how…
    小题1:How many people did Jennifer invite?
    A．1B．11 C．12D．13
    小题2:What kind of things can you do on Jennifer’s movie night?
    A．Gathering and measuring happiness among friends.
    B．Chatting, eating and watching feel-good movies.
    C．Being cheerful all the time.
    D．Showing up stress.
    小题3:What do the underlined words mean?
    A．有意义B．有鉴赏力C．有感觉D．制造气氛
    小题4:Which of the following is right?
    A．Jennifer was puzzled with her invitation.
    B．All the women who were invited are cheerful people.
    C．Jennifer invited people who are cheerful around her all the time.
    D．People with more supportive friends seem to be more positive than people who don’t.
    小题5:Can you guess what will be talked about in the following passage?
    A．Why it is important to pick friends who make you feel good.
    B．How to make friends who make you feel good.
    C．What kinds of friends you should not make.
    D．How you can find your social circle.

    Many years ago, there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn.
    When the sons came back, the old man asked them to say what they had seen.
    The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves.
