    I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large  1  across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-aged children. At the end of the day, he would  2  his taxi on the road. I  3  why he did not park it in the garage.
    Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home  4  work, leave his taxi and go out for his  5  affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 6  .
    I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 7  to be outside one evening two weeks  8 , when the garage door was 9 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me completely  10  I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But  11 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（n）  12  . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and  13  him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a (n）14.

Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we  18  the social ladder—how much bigger and better a  19  we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on  20 we are than what we do!

    The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were numbered. The doctor had said there wasn’t anything more that could be done, and that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
    A tear rolled down the Man’s cheek and landed on the Cat’s forehead, The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look. “Why do you cry, Man?” the Cat asked. “Because you can’t bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?” The Man nodded “yes”.
    “Pick up that piece of string from the floor. There, my ‘toy’. The Man reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
    “The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The man did so. Then the Cat continued, “You have made a continuous circle. Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head.
    “Close your eyes.” the Cat said. “Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise. “Just do it,” the Cat said. “Lick your hand, think of me in all my familiar places, and think about all the pieces of string.”
    Licking his hand, he discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop, and when he didn’t, he opened his eyes. The Cat’s eyes were closed. The Man stroked(轻抚) the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
    One day, not long after, there was a new cat on his lap. She was a lovely white cat. It is very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.

    A little girl lived in a small, very simple, poor house on a hill and as she grew she would play in the small garden. There, she was able to see over the garden fence and across the valley to a wonderful house high on the hill. This house had golden windows, so golden and shining that the little girl would dream of how magic it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers. Although she loved her parents and her family, she yearned to live in such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and exciting it must feel to live there.
    When she got to an age when she gained enough skill and sensibility to go outside her garden fence, she asked her mother if she could go for a bike ride outside the gate and down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she should keep close to the house and not wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she rode her bike until she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill.
    As she dismounted her bike and leaned it against the gate post, she focused on the path that led to the house and then on the house itself. She was so disappointed as she realized all the windows were plain and rather dirty, reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that was derelict.
    So sad she didn't go any further and turned, and heart broken as she remounted her bike. As she glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her. There across the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened golden as the sun shone on her little home.

    Chances
    I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业)．
    I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
    I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early morning with the children.
    One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part­time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
    Now I've got a full­time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school.

    A．was paid for extra work

    A．She decided to attend a part­time course.
    B．She found a full­time job.
    C．She was fed up with children.
    D．She needed a rest after working extra hours.
    小题4:What has the author learned from her own experiences?

    Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨）than those who have a support system of friends.
    Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don't want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.
    One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and protected against the symptoms(症状）of depression and loneliness.
    Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men while men are more likely to have a "fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically (心理上）, friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the differ­ence in the length of one's life time.
    小题1:In the author's opinion, a real friend should          .
    A．tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it
    B．try to persuade you to change your mind quickly
    C．judge your decision according to his, her experience
    D．give you advice but respect your own decision
    小题2:Women benefit more from friendship than men because         .
    A．women are always cared for by more people than men
    B．women are usually less stress-out when staying with others
    C．women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help
    D．women can always keep more long-life friendship than men
    小题3:According to the passage we can infer that          .
    A．it's good for women to tell men what they should do or not
    B．friends are always more important than family members
    C．men don't want to share their problems with many people
    D．the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed
    小题4:This passage mainly talks about         .
    A．why people should develop friendship
    B．when friendship affects people's health
    C．people’s different attitudes towards friendship
    D．the friendship which can make people live longer

    I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a sportsman. Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
    A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be.” He had made an inspirational (有灵感的) point. Am I over the hill ? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
    “You are not getting older, you are getting better.” Says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
    And so as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you, I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词). In fact, a poet name Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
    Grow old along with me !
    The best is yet to me.
    Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend(混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher(哲学家) was right when he said , “old is always fifteen years from now.”
    小题1:The author seems to tell us in Paragraph 1 that ______.
    A．time alone will tellB．time goes by quickly
    C．time will show what is right D．time makes one forget the past.
    小题2:When the author turned fifty, people around him ________ .
    A．tried to comfort himB．got inspiration with him
    C．were friendlier with himD．found him more talkative
    小题3:The author considers his fifty years of life _________.
    A．peacefulB．ordinaryC．satisfactoryD．regretful
    小题4:We can infer from the passage that ________ .
    A．the old should lead a simple life
    B．the old should face the fact of aging
    C．the old should take more exercise
    D．the old should fill themselves with curiosity
    小题5:Which of the following statements is WRONG?_______.
    A．It’s hard for the author to jump over the six-feet high-jump bar now.

    A farmer had some puppies to sell. He painted a sign advertising them on the edge of his yard.
    One day, a little boy came to buy one of the puppies. With a whistle（口哨）, the farmer called, “Here, Dolly!” Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy stood against the fence（栅栏）. His eyes danced with happiness.
    As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, something wrong with its legs, doing its best to catch up.
    “I want that one,” the little boy said.
    The farmer knelt（跪下）down at the boy's side and said, “Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”
    With that, the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so, he showed a steel brace（固定器）running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”
