Suddenly he felt someone behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch. He decided to follow him and get back the watch.

    The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. ---Thomas Macaulay
    Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O’Neill gave an arithmetic   36  to our class. When the papers were   37  she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.
    There is nothing really new about   38 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to   39  after class. I was one of the twelve.
    Mrs O’Neill asked   40  questions, and she didn’t   41  us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the   42  words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to   43  these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
    I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for   44  I can say:it was the most important single   45  of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they   46  seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a way to _47____ourselves rather than others.
     48  of us are asked to make   49   decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called   50  daily to make a great many personal decisions.   51  the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the   52  change received at the store be forgotten or   53 ? Nobody will know except   54 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always   55  to live with someone you respect.

    In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later , I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
    My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
    Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt(收养) and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3.  In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
    You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
    The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
    In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！
    I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.
    小题1:When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be_____________

    A．She wanted to study by herself.

    D．She decided to look after her grandma.
    小题3:What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
    A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.
    B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
    C．She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
    D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.
    小题4:What doses the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
    A．Failure is the mother of success.
    B．Little by little, one goes far.
    C．Every coin has two sides.
    D．Well begun, half done.
    小题5:Which of the following can best describe the author?
    A. Caring and determine.

    Innocent and single-minded.

    When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”
    I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
    The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines (TWA).
    I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac（机场停机坪）in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline. I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
    小题1:Many people crowded the terminal because _______.
    A．they were ready to board on the planes
    B．something was wrong with the terminal
    C．the flights to the Northeast were canceled
    D．the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers
    小题2: How did the writer get to Providence at last?___
    A．by airB．by van
    C．by trainD．by underground
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?______
    A．Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.
    B．The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.
    C．Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.
    D．McDonald’s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.
    小题4:What can be implied from the passage?____
    A．The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.
    B．The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.
    C．The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.
    D．Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.

    A famous doctor once received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.
    The child’s mother was very much obliged to the doctor, and she called on him to thank him for what he had done for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you have saved my little son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?”“Fifty pounds”, he answered.
    The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good bye to the doctor, went out of the room.

    A．the purse should be given between friends
    B．the purse was too small
    C．the lady was not kind to him

    小题3:The money in the purse _______.

    Do dogs understand us?
    Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
    A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.
    In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
    In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
    The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked
    out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.
    Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
    It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
    小题1: From paragraph 2 we know that __       .
    A．animals are as clever as human beings
    B．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills
    C．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees
    D．dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children
    小题2:Both experiments show that            .
    A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right
    B．Rico can recognize different things including toys
    C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics
    D．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them
    小题3: Which of the following statements is true?
    A．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.
    B．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.
    C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.
    D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.
    小题4:What does the writer want to tell us?
    A．To train your dog.B．To talk to your dog.
    C．To be careful with your dog.D．To be friendly to your dog.
