         "My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy," says a second-grade teacher in Saugus,
    California. "Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course." These young scientists
    are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through
    twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and
    more.
         The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and
    transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an
    architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs
    and build models of their creations. " Designing building of the future gives children a lot of freedom,"
    says the teacher who developed this program."They are able to use their own rich imagination and
    inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as
    the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected 'official' and 'planning group'
    make all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser."
         CBEP is a test of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for
    problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the
    children's own standards.
    1. The Program is designed _______. 
    A. to direct kids to build solar collectors
    B. to train young scientists for city planning
    C. to develop children's problem-solving abilities
    D. to help young architects know more about designing
    2. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom _______.
    A. to find out kids' creative ideas
    B. to discuss with the teacher
    C. to give children lectures
    D. to help kids with their program
    3. Who is the designer of the program?
    A. An official
    B. An architect
    C. A teacher
    D. A scientist
    4. The children feel free in the program because _______.
    A. they can design future buildings themselves
    B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
    C. they are given enough time to design models
    D. they need not worry about making mistakes

         My son Karl talked little after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But
    the more I tried, the more withdrawn he became. His report card arrived, saying that he had been absent 95
    times from classes and failed in the exams. I sent him to the school advisor, and I even begged him. Nothing
    worked.
         One day, I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to
    talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over
    Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don't know what to do. I've tried
    everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands." For a moment there
    was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung
    up.

    teacher meeting with Karl. His teachers praised him a lot and were amazed at the way he had turned himself
    around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That

         My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live. Two dog walkers
    passed by and we heard one of them say, "Never seen that dog around here before."
         We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We
    bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a
    phone number on the collar, but no one answered.
         The dog was painfully thin. It didn't have many teeth left and, well, it just seemed done.
    Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with
    me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk
    while our new friend made short work of the food.
         Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket, more food, kept her warm and wondered
    what to do next.
         After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch
    of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father's dog. She was very old and should
    probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn't bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned
    home.
         Here is the truth of the story:
         Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me
    to come back, but I wasn't hearing anything that made that sound likely.
    I was about to turn and go when an old, worn out dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly
    we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need
    right before us and we had to work together to help it.
         We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home, in my own family.
    In the song "Love Is Not a Fight" Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, "And
    if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door."
         Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.
    1. Which of the following statements is true?
    A. The two dog walkers didn't like the dog.
    B. The old black dog was sick and weak and couldn't walk.
    C. After finding the dog, the writer phoned its owners.
    D. Most of the dog's teeth had been pulled out by someone.
    2. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________.
    A. Julie bought some food for the dog
    B. the writer had his own pet dog
    C. the dog didn't go with the writer
    D. the dog didn't eat any of the food
    3. After they got the dog home, the couple ________.
    A. decided to raise the dog
    B. took good care of the dog
    C. found out that its owner was a lady
    D. found it hard to get to sleep
    4. The underlined part "our problem" in the passage refers to the fact that ________.
    A. the writer didn't want to take Julie's advice
    B. Julie disagreed with the writer's travel on business
    C. an old and worn out dog appeared in front of them
    D. the couple had some trouble with their marriage
    5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A. A Helpful Couple.
    B. An Angel Dog.

          In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children
    infected with the virus that causes AIDS.The relationships that I have had with these special kids have
    been gifts in my life.They have taught me so manythings, but I have especially learned that great courage
    can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler.
        Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life, he
    was dependent on medications to enable him to survive.When he was five, he had a tube surgically
    inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack
    on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube
    to his bloodstream.At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
         Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease.It was not
    unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicineladen backpack and
    dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon.All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure
    joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved
    so fast that she needed to dress him in red.That way, when she peered through the window to check on
    him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
         This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler.He grew quite
    ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIVinfected mother.When it became apparent that he wasn't going to
    survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death.She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying
    too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
         A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, "I might die
    soon.I'm not scared.When I die, please dress me in red.Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too.I'll
    be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."

         My bookshelves are full of dust-and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my home,
    I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).
         The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I place
    myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down
    the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. Pretty soon
    books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
         It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. "Remember me? I was given to you
    when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship," one whispers. Another says,
    "I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry." And a third, "I was the book
    that made history so attractive to you."
         Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises-or better said, reunions-that
    occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:"Tales of Edgar
    Allan Poe." Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special:"With Love from
    Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965." What's this? A book on the physics of lasers (激光). It is filled with
    mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12, not long after the laser had been
    invented. I couldn't understand a bit of it, but I did learn what "laser" meant.
         What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal history. It's
    like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest
    life forms. The books I've read-and kept-are not just old friends. They are my résumé.
    1. What could be said about the author?
    A. He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.
    B. He considers his books treasured possessions.
    C. He has made a lot of notes in his books.
    D. He is a lover of science books.
    2. By saying that his books have voices, the author means _____.
    A. they bring back happy memories
    B. they are recorded in human voice
    C. they say a lot about human history
    D. they offer good topics for discussion
    3. What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books?
    A. Finding some missing books.
    B. Putting books in good order.
    C. Learning something new from the books.
    D. Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.
    4. The underlined word "résumé" in the last paragraph probably means _____.
    A. personal history
    B. precious notes
    C. good companion
    D. simple life forms
