“But what if I break my arm again?” My five-year-old daughter asked. I knew how much she wanted to learn to  41 .Yet ever since she fell off her bicycle and broke her arm, she’d been  42_ .
“Oh, honey,” I said. “I don’t think you’ll break  43  arm.”
“But I could, couldn’t I?”
“Yes,” I  44  and found myself struggling for the right thing to say. At times like this, I  45 I had someone who might help me find the right words to make my girl’s problems disappear. But after a painful  46  , I’d decided to remain single.
“ I don’t want to ride,” she said and got off her bike.
“ You know, honey,” I said. “ Almost everything you do comes with  47  . You could break your arm jumping rope. You  48 break your arm at gymnastics. Do you want to stop going to gymnastics?”
“No,” she said. And with a  49  spirit, she agreed to try it again. I held on to her bike until she found the  50 to say, “Let’s go!” I spent the rest of the afternoon watching a brave little girl overcome a  51  .
As we walked home, she  52  me about a conversation I had. “Why were you and grandma arguing last night?”
My mother wanted me to marry again,  53  I told her I didn’t want to meet the Mr. Perfect she  54  for me. She said she knew Steve was the man for me.
“It’s nothing,” I told her.
She shrugged, “Grandma said she just wanted you to find someone to 55  .”
“What grandma wants is for some guy to break my  56  again!” I lost control.
She was  57  for several minutes. Then she said something 58  me to think about. “So I think love isn’t like a broken arm.”
Unable to answer, we walked in silence. Later I did what my brave girl did that afternoon. I 59 to meet Steve.
Steve was the man for me. We married soon. It turned out mother and my daughter were 60  .

My husband and I went into a shop that sold handcrafted items in hopes of finding a few last-minute Christmas gifts.
There was a lot  36  . Every shelf and   37 was loaded with different crafters' handiwork. As I walked through the store, I noticed a wooden plaque(瓷花金属板) hanging on a wall. I turned to take  38  look and remember shaking my head "yes" at   39  printed on the plaque.
"Life isn't about waiting for the   40 to pass," the plaque proclaimed(宣布). "It's about learning to dance in the rain."
As I pulled my husband over and directed his attention to the plaque, I could see that he too   41 the simple lesson the plaque shared. How often in our daily lives had we put conditions on our   42 ? When we get the house paid off, then we can be happy. When things settle down with the kids, then we'll be able to do more together. There is so little joy for the here and now in the uncertainties of the   43 and thens.
Looking at the plaque, I found myself  44  to a hot and muggy day the summer before, when I unknowingly   45 the plaque's message. Light rain continued to fall as I walked out to get my mail. Water was still running   46  through the gutters(屋顶檐槽). I don't know what came over me,  47 I suddenly felt forced to do something a little crazy   48 my fifty-plus years.
I   49 my shoes and stockings and began walking barefoot through the water. It was deliciously   50 , heated by the pavement that had been   51 by the summer heat.
I'm sure my neighbors thought that I had   52 my last vestige of sanity(神智健全), but I didn't care. For in that moment, I was alive. I wasn't worried about bills, the future or any other day-to-day cares. I was   53 a gift — a pure and simple moment of joy!
The plaque now hangs in my living room, a Christmas gift from my husband. I walk past it multiple times each day and  54  pause to ask myself, "So, am I   55 in the rain?"
I think I am. I know I try to. One step at a time, I am learning to dance in the rain!

When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment (录取)rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It’s no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热),which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual(双语)education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees(学费)are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
小题1:What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B.Higher education in Hong Kong.
C.The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D.The fall of mainland universities.
小题2:Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because           .
A.many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience.
B.they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities.
C.HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study.
D.Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation.
小题3:What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?
A.The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.
B.Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C.Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D.It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.
小题4:From the passage we can see HK universities           .
A.didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland
B.didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C.have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D.are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
小题5:What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?
A.Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
B.The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C.Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.
D.Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, too. Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt?

She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?” He replied, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee.

科目:高中英语 来源:不详 题型:阅读理解

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied. “Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑),  many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
小题1: According to the author, feeling depressed is ____________.
A.a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B.a mental state present in all humans, including children
C.something that cannot be avoided in children's mental development
D.something hardly to be expected in a young child
小题2:According to the author, that today's children seem adult-like results from ____________.
A.the widespread influence of television
B.the poor arrangement of teaching content
C.the fast pace of human scientific development
D.the rising standard of living
小题3: What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A.It enables children to gain more social information.
B.It develops children's interest in reading and writing.
C.It helps children to read and write well.
D.It can control what children are to learn.
小题4:What does the author think of the change in today's children?
A.He feels their adult-like behavior is so funny.
B.He thinks the change worthy of note.
C.He considers it a rapid development.
D.He seems to be upset about it.

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake (缘故), even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.     
Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
小题1:Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
A.To get close to a butterfly.B.To look over the bad situation.
C.To escape a sudden attack.D.To avoid getting his shoes dirty.
小题2:What made the man feel funny?
A.Making the attacker pause.B.Being attacked by a butterfly.
C.Being stepped on by his mate.D.Discovering the energetic butterfly.
小题3:From this experience the man learned       .
A.what he should do when faced with trouble
B.people should show sympathy to the weak
C.how he should deal with attacks
D.people should protect butterflies
小题4: Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?
A.Careless.B.Amusing.C.Courageous. D.Aggressive.
