    It was a winter afternoon. Some friends and I were eating at a restaurant and talking. We talked and talked and soon       became the topic. Suddenly I hit upon an idea. “Wouldn’t it be fun to go       ? Others go in winter, but why couldn’t we?      , we could be healthier if we did. ” I told them about this, and they all said it was a good idea      . Early the next morning, we four were standing at the bus stop, with bags in our hands,       for a bus to take us to the       . The sky was clear; the sun was shining. But it was very cold all the same.       our heavy overcoats were not enough to keep us warm. We all felt we should go back, but no one wanted to speak out.
    We soon reached the sands. There was       there, but we were not discouraged. Instead we were       that we were the only ones that dared to challenge the weather.       we changed our clothes quickly. But things were not going so       . The freezing sea wind was blowing. We felt very cold and trembled all over. At       we made up our minds to go into the water. We put our feet in first       to take them back very quickly. The water was unbelievably cold. Then I suggested we all jump in       . We all went back ten steps. I gave the       , and we all rushed forward and jumped in. I shall never forget the moment I was in the water. I was up       and rushed again to the shore.       it was with my friends. We put on our clothes as quickly as possible.
    On the way back home, we talked about this unforgettable       . The four of us did not       school for the following three days. We all suffered a lot       a very bad cold. But we thought it was all worth it.

    Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had worked on, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
    Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched for the name of this fellow, it became obvious that there were two people with the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
    Obviously, my grade was terrible. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. At last, I worked very hard for the rest of the school year.
    Ten months later, that chance came as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my chance to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
    小题1: What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
    A．Complex.B．Funny.C．Boring.D．Puzzling.
    小题2: Why was the author confused about the task?
    A．He was unfamiliar with American history.
    B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
    C．He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
    D．He didn’t know why the teacher gave such a task.
    小题3:In the end, the author turned things around _______.
    A．by redoing his task
    B．through his own efforts
    C．with the help of his grandfather
    D．under the guidance of his headmaster

    On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of a New York subway station, playing his violin. Many of passers-by slowed down their paces and put some money into the hat of the young man.
    　　The next day, at the same place, he put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different than the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it. Then he adjusted the violin and began playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to.
    　The words read, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat mistakenly. Please come to claim it soon.”
    　　Seeing this, people wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there hurriedly and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his shoulders and said, “Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would certainly come here.”
    　　“Are you Mr. George Sang”? asked the young violinist.
    The man nodded.   “Did you lose something?”　“Lottery. It’s lottery.” “Is it?” The violinist took out a lottery ticket and asked.
    　　George nodded promptly and seized the lottery ticket and kissed it, then he danced with the violinist.
    　　The story turned out to be this: George Sang bought a lottery ticket, winning a prize of $500,000. After work, he passed the station and felt the music was so wonderful that he took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat. However, the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned to attend further study in Vienna. He had booked the ticket and would fly that morning. However when he was cleaning up he found the lottery ticket. Thinking that the owner would return to look for it, he cancelled the flight and came back to where he was given the lottery ticket.
    When asked why he didn’t take the lottery ticket for himself, the violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”
    小题1: What is the sequence(顺序) of the story?
    a. The violinist tried to look for the ticket-owner

    A．c, d, e, a, eB．b, c, e, d, aC．b, e, c, a, dD．c, a, d, b, e
    小题2: George Sang was so ______that he kissed the lost ticket and danced with the violinist.
    A．movedB．disappointedC．madD．pleased
    小题3:By telling the story, the writer intends to tell us that__________.
    A．getting rich overnight is important
    B．showing sympathy for others is important
    C．being honest is of great importance
    D．school fees are high at the present time
    小题4:We can infer from the passage that______.
    A．The Arts College the young violinist was going to attend is not in New York.
    B．Many people usually put their money in their hat in the distant past.
    C．George Sang may give some money to the young violinist as a reward.
    D．all the people who win lotteries are generous and easy-going.

    You have to log on to your school's online system to check your grades, but you find the system is kind of inconvenient．What do you do?
    When Daniel Brooks was a senior at Pioneer High School in the US, he came up with a Silicon Valley-style solution; he developed an iPhone app（application, 应用程序）I C Connector．
    When he tried out his school's new Web-based student information system earlier this year, he immediately noticed some shortcomings．He could no longer view his current grades for all his classes at once．Checking several classes required several clicks-which for a teenager is so much work．To save himself all this trouble, Brooks developed the app and sold it on the Apple app store．Now it has 2,300 users who have downloaded it across the US．
    "It ended up on every iPhone and iPad and portable device that any student and teacher had on campus," said Scott Peterson, the campus tech support worker at Pioneer High．
    Brooks said he didn't create the app to get rich - it is free．"A student is not going to want to pay 99 cents," Brooks said．"They just want to see their grades more easily．"
    However, in the months that followed, Brooks experienced highs and lows．His app is now so successful that users want more, in particular, his teachers have started pushing him to develop a version for them．However, the company Infinite Campus, which developed the information system, has been less positive．
    The company said in an e-mail that he was confusing users and violating the company's copyright by using Infinite Campus' name and logo in the app’s name．Brooks' father, Michael Brooks, has offered to change the name, but says he needs time to get Apple's approval．Daniel also e-mailed and called Infinite Campus．They got no response．
    Daniel Brooks starts at a California university this autumn．Despite Infinite Campus' attitude, he continues to try to improve the app and hopes to put out an Android version soon．

    Family traditions were important in our house, and none was more appreciated than the perfect Christmas tree.
    “Dad, can we watch when you trim(修剪) the tree?” My eldest son, Dan, nine, and his seven-year-old brother John, asked.
    “I won’t be cutting this year,” my husband Bob said. “Dan, you and John are old enough to measure things. Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?”
    Dan and John seemed to grow six inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility. “We can handle it,” Dan promised. “We won’t let you down.”
    A few days before Christmas, Dan and John rushed in after school. They gathered the tools they’d need and brought them out to the yard, where the tree waited. I was cooking when I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the tree into the living room. Then I heard the sound that every mother knows is trouble: dead silence. I hurried out to them. The tree was cut too short. John crossed his arms tight across his chest. His eyes filled with angry tears.
    I felt worried. The tree was central to our holiday. I didn’t want the boys to feel ashamed every time they looked at it. I couldn’t lower the ceiling, and I couldn’t raise the floor either. There was no way to undo the damage done. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, which turned the problem into the solution.
    “We can’t make the tree taller,” I said. “But we can put it on a higher position.”
    Dan nodded his head sideways. “We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let’s try it!”
    When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.
    “What a good idea!” he declared. “Why didn’t I ever think of such a thing?”
    John broke into a grin. Dan’s chest swelled with pride.
    小题1:The underlined part “grow six inches” (Para. 4) implies the brothers felt        .
    A．proudB．nervousC．embarrassedD．Scared
    小题2:What happened after the brothers moved the Christmas tree into the living room?
    A．They rushed to school.
    B．They began to decorate the tree.
    C．They got angry with each other.
    D．They found the tree was cut short.
    小题3:How could the short tree be turned into a perfect one?
    A．By making the tree taller.
    B．By lowering the ceiling.
    C．By placing it on a coffee table.
    D．By raising the floor.
    小题4:What Bob said in the last but one paragraph showed        .
    A．he was a little disappointed
    B．he was too stupid to think of the idea
    C．he appreciated what the brothers had done
    D．he should not have given them the task

    An Invisible Smile
    Mr. Dawson was an old grouch, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple. Old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
    One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man.
    Amy said not to worry. Mr. Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, "Hello Miss Amy. I see you've got a little friend with you today."
    Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Mr. Dawson said that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Mr. Dawson had the best apples in the whole town.
    When they left, Janet asked Amy, "Everyone says he's the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?"
    Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.
    After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a "hello" at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
    "An invisible smile?" questioned Janet.
    "Yes," answered Amy, "my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn't afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says smiles are contagious."
    If we remember what Amy's grandma said, that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that We're always on the go trying to accomplish so much, aren't we? It's so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time, let's make sure that we're not the one that others have to pretend to be wearing an invisible smile.
    小题1:Kids were scared of Mr. Dawson because _____.
    A．he was wearing an invisible smile
    B．he would fire them with a gun
    C．he was mean with his apples
    D．he was always very cold
    小题2:We can infer from the passage that_____.
    A．Janet was so lovely a girl that Mr. Dawson couldn't resist her smiles
    B．Janet and Amy were going to invite Mr. Dawson to listen to music and play games
    C．Mr. Dawson was friendly to Amy because she always wore an invisible smile
    D．it was Grandma's advice that helped bring Amy and Mr. Dawson closer
    小题3:The underlined word "contagious" in Paragraph 9 means _____.
    A．infectiousB．supportiveC．movingD．meaningful
    小题4:What is the main message that the writer intends to send us readers?

    Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden’s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.
    The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree’s branches were drying up.
    Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette（小胡瓜）, understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow... He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.
    They should really learn how to live in harmony（和谐）with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, and help each other instead of fighting, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.
