    When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
    When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
    The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out(淘汰) the weaker trees early on. He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
    So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
    Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
    It seems that adversity(逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
    Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think that it’s time to change my prayer(祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.
    小题1:According to Dr. Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they _________.
    A．are lack of careB．are wateredC．are weeded outD．are beaten
    小题2:According to Para.3 and Para.4, we can infer that Dr. Gibbs’ motto(座右铭) may be       .
    A．“Seeing is believing”B．“Put everything in proper use”
    C．“Practice makes perfect”D．“No pain, no gain”
    小题3:The underlined word robust in Para.5 most probably means _________.
    A．strong　　B．strange　　C．deep　　D．old
    小题4:Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now?
    A．I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.
    B．I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr. Gibbs in the future.
    C．I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.
    D．I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.
    小题5:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
    A．A Nice Doctor B．The Deep Roots C．Adversity and SufferingD．My Childhood Memory

    小题1:B
    小题1:D

    My first memories of acts of kindness are from when I was about 12 years old. From then on I always 36  at home and with friends.
    That winter I notice that many  37   people had difficulty getting to the  38  store after a snowstorm.

The grocery store was down a huge hill and I would bring   41   a couple of bags of groceries for them. I liked it and it made them so 42  .
    It started with  43  alone and then the number grew. A short time later, my 44  in the building asked what I was doing and a couple of them  45  and it became a routine. I  46  asked for or took money for it. Sometimes the ladies 47  slip the change in my pocket. I would just buy something the next time to give to them, 48 flowers or a card. I did this every 49_ up to when I left to go to college.
    When I was away at   50 , many people asked my mom how I was doing. Through those conversations she  51  what I used to do -—I had never told her.
    Now, I’m a teacher and teaching my students the art of true 52 ; Everyone in the world needs help, and everyone can also   53  help. The image of those old people’s happiness caused by my      54 of goodwill appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something   55 . This is the power of charity.

    A
    The choice to adopt and hold gratefulness is the one that is different from those who suffer misfortune and those who enjoy a full life.
    My mother died when I was 24. It was a very difficult time in my life — everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I was surprised that someone would trust me — a young woman with her children. And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other people’s children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust, I don’t know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. I’d like to owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.
    If you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain about.
    Moreover, the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment does two very important things: one…it tricks your subconscious into believing that the goal is certain and two…it convinces other people, with whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are about, that you are a winner, not a whiner (哀诉者).
    小题1:The underlined word “utilities” refers to __________ in the passage.
    A．water and gas suppliesB．gas and electricity supplies
    C．shower equipment and water supplyD．heating and TV signals
    小题2: The writer was grateful mainly for ___________.
    A．his neighbor’s donationB．his community
    C．having got the jobD．others’ trust
    小题3: The writer’s personal story in the second paragraph tells us that __________.
    A．to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from home
    B．a grateful person is most likely to be successful
    C．we need to be grateful to be helpful and useful
    D．the fragrance (芳香) stays in the hand that gives the rose
    小题4:The best title for the passage would be ____________.
    A．A Thank-You Note to Trusting Neighbor
    B．You Are a Winner, Not a Whiner
    C．Be Grateful to Life in Advance
    D．Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life

    I was in lodgings (寄宿处) now, on my own, but the other lodgers had constant visitors up and down the stairs past my door. None of this disturbed me except one girl who sang softly to herself an old Russian folk song as she ran up to the room above. It was a sound of sweetness, musical, soft, unselfconscious and happy. I began to listen out for it, jumped up from my table, and threw open the door to catch a glimpse(一瞥) of her as she passed, but I was always too late. I asked the people upstairs who she was, and described the beautiful sounds she made. They became rather reserved(拘谨) and exchanged glances and hurriedly admitted it might be Sally. I thought she was someone special, not to be discussed in the ordinary way, and became a little curious to meet her. But the last thing I wanted at that stage was to get caught up with anybody. I’d just come to the end of a rather painful friendship, and now I had work to do.
    One day, I came face to face with a girl on the landing. It was certainly her; whoever made that noise would look as she did. We stood and stared at each other too long for comfort. I broke the moment and, excusing myself, moved past her because it was too like the movies. I thought for some time of that long, silent stare, and laughed. She was tall and looked proud, with a slight , round-shouldered look that made me breathless and I didn’t know why.
    小题1:At his lodgings, the author __________.
    A．seldom had visitors
    B．wished he had more visitors
    C．was always disturbed by other people’s visitors
    D．had too many visitors.
    小题2:Whenever the author heard the sound of the girl’s voice__________.
    A．he sat listening to itB．he saw her moving upstairs
    C．he threw down his booksD．he tried to see who it was
    小题3:People who were asked about the girl__________.
    A．told him all about herB．didn’t want to tell him much
    C．didn’t tell him anythingD．were angry when he mentioned her
    小题4:From this passage we can see that the author was____________.
    A．was not interested in SallyB．curiously attracted by Sally
    C．angry at being disturbed by SallyD．afraid to get to know Sally

    Love, success, happiness, family and freedom----how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.
    Question: Could you introduce yourself first?
    Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I’m a web designer.
    Q: What are your great memories?
    A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.
    Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
    A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.
    Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?
    A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
    Q: How do your get along with your parents?
    A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters（过滤）out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.
    小题1:In Misbah’s childhood,     .
    A．he was free from worry
    B．he liked living in the countryside
    C．he was fond of getting close to nature

    A．By chatting on the Internet.
    B．By calling them sometimes.
    C．By paying weekly visits.
    D．By writing them letters.

    A．What was your childhood dream?
    B．What is your biggest achievement?
    C．What is your parents’ view of you?
    D．What was your hardest experience in the war?

    Years ago while lying in my hammock （吊床）and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence．Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor' s 10 - year - old daughter' s rabbit．For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard．I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast．
    The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower．Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural caused"．
    Back to the hammock and JD．Within the hour the neighbor' s Volvo palled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage．Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: " D - A - D - D – Y！！！"
    Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage．Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do．
