    I work for a major airline. One afternoon while running through LAX to my plane, I tore (撕破) one of my nylon socks.         , there was a convenience store close to my gate. I knew I could buy a new pair. However, as I waited in line, I        that I had no money in my purse. I thought to myself that maybe the store manager would sell me a pair and let me pay her back the next time. I have been inside her store a lot, even though we have never been        . When it was my         to pay, I showed her my socks and explained that I had no money on me. She laughed and         said, “Take them.”
    Well, for whatever reason, two months passed, and I          had not paid the money back.
    Then one day while I was busy doing my usual preflight preparations, a passenger asked me if I would          him a newspaper.
    I went off the airplane and walked to the same convenience store. I was too embarrassed (尴尬的) to go inside because I had never paid the money back, and I wasn’t carrying my         . Then a man with a friendly face came near.        he could walk past me, I stopped him and asked him for help. He smiled and said that he would do so gladly but wanted to know why I couldn’t do it        . He was rather outgoing and kept saying, “Come on, and tell me.” I needed a newspaper, so I          and told him.
    Suddenly he said, “Hold on.” and then took me into his arms quickly and carried me into the store. With his free hand he reached into his pocket and           out a five-dollar bill and said to the manager, “I’d like to pay for the socks this person owes you for and for a newspaper.”
    I later learned that this big, gentle man was Rosie Grier, the former L.A. Rams and Hall of Fame football player.

    I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.
    This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time. She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.
    Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
    On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
    Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.
    The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.

    It was the Greek shopkeeper who taught me about the power of being kind.
    In 2008, I left Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.
    Unfortunately, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I had spent all my free time working since I came to London, I hardly took part in any activities and I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to communicate with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the sickbed for two days, I went out to get some food. Normally, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer.
    I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, ‘You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right?’
    I said YES in a low voice.
    She pointed at the salami (腊肠) and bread I was buying and offered, ‘I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it yourself.’
    I nodded without saying a word.
    So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.
    ‘It will warm you up,’ she said with a friendly smile.
    What really warmed me up was not the soup. It was her smile that told me she cared me. Her kindness reminded me of my mother.
    I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness prevent me from communicating with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children’s hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.
    小题1:When did the writer leave for London? 
    A．In 2003.B．In 2009.C．In 2008.D．10 years ago.
    小题2:What can we learn about the writer and his family?
    A．His parents could not afford his studies.
    B．There are five kids in his family.
    C．The writer is the youngest child in the family.
    D．In 2008 the writer left London to study in Spain.
    小题3:What happened to the writer?
    A．He lost his part-time jobs.
    B．He had an argument with his friends.
    C．He got a cold and had a very high fever.
    D．He was not popular at his school.
    小题4:What did the shopkeeper not do for the writer?

    Recently the “China dream” has been the subject of a public topic. Although it is quite common for Chinese people to dream of an empowered or a prosperous(繁荣) China, most people also have their own dreams. Throughout China’s thousands of years of history, these “China dreams” have always existed. Do you have a “China dream”? I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher U.S. educational backgrounds. Unsurprisingly, they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their native country.

    Fred Wang, an MBA candidate in the U.S. said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equality means all young people can compete fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”
    Yujie Zhao, another MBA candidate in California said, “I dream of a happy family with an affordable home. I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire(退休).” She said, “It seems like all my dreams are about family, but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”
    Yiqiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life: to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”
    There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own “China dream”. They all love China, they all love chasing their dreams. Beautiful “China Dream” requires hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dream come true.
    小题1:Which is right about the three young Chinese students?
    A．They receive higher education in China.
    B．They have their own hopes and dreams for China.
    C．They receive education of all levels in America.
    D．They have their own hopes and dreams for America.
    小题2:What does the word “compete” in the second paragraph mean?
    A．对待B．完成C．竞争D．成功
    小题3:Yujie Zhao hopes that ___________.
    A．all young people can have equal opportunities
    B．she can have a happy family with a big house
    C．her children can receive the best education in America
    D．she can look after her parents well when they are old
    小题4:Which one is NOT Yiqiong Zhang’s dream?
    A．Working hard for about 20 to 25 years.
    B．Managing a small bookstore or a flower shop.
    C．Playing the piano and hiking in her free time.
    D．Having a two-month holiday every year.
    小题5:From the passage we can learn that  ____________.
    A．“China Dream” is very difficult to come true.
    B．“China Dream” does need everyone’s hard work.
    C．“China Dream” is a subject we need to study in China.
    D．“China Dream” is only a dream about the development of our country.

    My best friend and I were in the shop that she owns. It was the middle of the afternoon. We were both very happy and making plans for the weekend. Suddenly a man entered the shop. We knew that he didn’t look like one of our usual customers, but we welcomed him _  __ anyway. Without any hesitation he pulled something out of his coat. We didn’t notice that it was a __  __ until he ordered us to go into the back with him.
    After he warned us that he could fire at any time, he looked for the money everywhere, in the bank, from our wallets, and then he asked for our jewellery (珠宝) and we gave him all he wanted. Finally, he finished his “job” and left.
    When I was a child, I felt safe with my parents in my home or wherever I was not alone. Then I began to understand the news and I learnt that __  __ things were happening “out there”, but I still kept thinking that those events were just other people’s __  __, not mine. From the moment the man walked out of the shop, I completely ___  ___. I always look around to see which kinds of people are possibly following me. Now I usually double-check everything: if I’ve locked myself in the car or in the house. I am always careful not to wear any jewellery. Whenever a stranger is getting too close or is trying to get information from me, I feel nervous. I know that it is wrong, and that not everyone is going to _  __ me again.
    After all, I consider myself lucky, since nothing really bad happened to me or my friend, but since that day I haven’t felt safe any more. I hate that man not for having taken my jewellery and money, but for having deprived（剥夺）of my innocence.

    As a young child, I was quiet and shy. I was also sick for a long time. My parents worked, and I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s home. While my grandmother cleaned the house and cooked, my grandfather played with me.
    I was six when my grandfather died. A few months before he died, he gave me a beautiful blue and white blanket (毯子). I loved the blanket very much because it made me think of my grandfather. But after a few years, the blanket didn’t look very good. It had holes and was dirty. I didn’t want to throw the blanket away, so my mother made the blanket into a book bag. I was proud of the book bag, and I used it to carry my books to school every day for a few years. Then the book bag was broken. I begged my mother to make something out of it. She made it into a pencil-box. After a few months, the pencil-box was broken, too. By then I could sew (缝), and I made the pencil-box into a small wallet.
    I used it for three years, but one day I lost it. I felt sad. My friends and family said, “Forget about it, Paul. You can’t make something out of nothing.”
    I thought about it for a while. I decided my friends and family were wrong. There was a way to make something out of nothing. I wrote down the story of my grandfather’s blanket.
