    We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four．Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner．I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang．Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom．
    The guests arrived．I introduced my two daughters to each of them．The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids．
    Each of the guests paid too much attention to Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile．They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age．
    I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt．We do it with the best of intention（意图）．
    But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child．I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined （使逊色）．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes．I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying．
    I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
    She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
    I tried to explain to her, kissing and held her in arms to make her feel better．
    Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point(特意做某事) to speak to the elder child first．
    小题1:The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____．
    A．young ageB．lovely smile
    C．pretty clothesD．beautiful hair
    小题2:Kristen felt sad and cried because ____．
    A．the guest gave her more coats to carry
    B．the guests praised her sister more than her
    C．her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests
    D．she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly
    小题3:From this experience ,the writer changed the way of ____．
    A．dressing her daughtersB．visiting friends
    C．greeting the elder childD．kissing.

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:C

    试题解析：本文大意：朋友来我家拜访时，我把两个女儿打扮得很漂亮，告诉她们门铃响时和妈妈一起开门，把客人的大衣拿到楼上。每个客人都把注意力放在小一点的女儿身上，夸她的裙子、头发和笑容。她是个优秀的女孩，在她这个年龄把大衣拿到楼上。大女儿在楼上卧室哭了，问我为什么人们不用喜欢妹妹的方式喜欢她呢。现在，不论什么时候我拜访朋友的家，我特意首先和大点的孩子说话。

    Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer(律师), but when he was about twenty years old, Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon.

These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.

    Christian Bucks may be young, but he sure knows how to be a good friend. When the York, Pennsylvania, second-grader noticed that some of his schoolmates didn’t have anyone to play with during the break time, he came up with a way to help them. He suggested having something called a “buddy bench” put in on his school’s playground.

    A buddy bench is a special bench where students can sit if they are feeling bored or lonely. It’s usually brightly colored with “BUDDY BENCH” in big letters. Other students can then go to the bench and ask them if they would like to play or talk.
    “We show we care about others when we ask others to play,” Christian told reporters.
    Christian first learned about buddy benches when his family was considering moving to Germany. He saw a buddy bench in a handbook for a German school and thought it would be a great way to fight loneliness on the playground at his own school, Roundtown Elementary School.
    Christian told Roundtown’s headteacher, Matthew Miller, about his idea at the end of last school year. Miller immediately decided to get a buddy bench. He had Christian pick out its style and bright colors.
    “I was the first person who got to sit on the bench when it arrived at Roundtown,” says Christian. He hopes the bench will help “grow our dream circle of friends”.
    小题1:Christian Bucks suggested having a buddy bench to help ______.
    A．his teachersB．his students C．his parentsD．his schoolmates
    小题2:Christian learned about the buddy bench ______.
    A．in a textbookB．from his father
    C．in a handbookD．from his headteacher
    小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．The buddy bench can help to develop friendships.
    B．The buddy bench is designed and made in Germany.
    C．Students can realize their dreams on the buddy bench.
    D．Students love the style and the color of the buddy bench.

    Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know     you think you are a     person or a coward (懦夫).

Thanks to Lenny, it was not    .
    When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically(自动地) produces a chemical in the blood. The chemical is called adrenalin(肾上腺素). With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are ready to fight.

    I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my whole life. And I’m sure the other person feels the same.
    We had a new teacher in my middle school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about her       fighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifteen       of her talking, the class started talking softly to each other     they were getting bored. Looking     , she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to say “no” to her loud     one kid. He said, “No, not really!”       a disrespectful(无礼的) way. Some kids were a little       and thought that it was rather rude. 
    I felt really bad for this teacher. No one should be    in such a disrespectful manner. Therefore, near the end of the class I went up and said       to her for the guy’s rude behavior. I told her I had been listening, and even though I may not really like      , I was grateful to her for sharing her story. I asked her       about her father and asked to see the picture of him. We had a very nice, sincere conversation about her father.  
    The teacher was touched. She thanked me for coming up and actually treating her with the respect(尊敬) that she deserved. I felt at full peace with       knowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I made her day. Even though I didn’t really care for history, I       listened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really      . If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt very       and would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that justice(公义) was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.
