    Dear John,
    I'm sorry you didn't get the part you tried out for in that play. I know how much you wanted to be in the play. Now you feel that maybe acting isn't the right future for you. I think you're wrong. You're a good actor. Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group's play? You were excellent . People clapped(鼓掌)every time you walked on stage（舞台). Even the other actors loved you.
    All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famouse actors don't get every part they want. I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you're good at it. Don't be discouraged because you lose one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all , you can always give up some other time.
    Love,
    Jane

    In the early 1800’s, a boy named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) with several other children. Every day was   31   working and Christmas was the one day of the year   32   the children did not work and received a gift — an orange. The children valued it so much that they kept it for weeks, and even   33   — smelling it, touching it and loving it. Usually they tried to kept it for so   34   that it often went bad before they ate it.
    This year John knew he would soon be   35   enough to leave. He would save the orange until his birthday in July. If he preserved it   36  , he might be able to eat it on his birthday. 
    Christmas day finally came. The children were so   37   as they entered the dining hall. In his excitement, John knocked over something, causing a big   38  . Immediately the master shouted, “John, leave the hall and there will be no orange for you.” John’s heart   39  . He turned and ran back to the cold room so that the children wouldn’t see his tears. 
    Then he heard the door open and the children entered. Little Elizabeth with a   40   on her face held out her small hands. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As John   41   his head, he saw a big juicy orange all peeled (剥皮) and quartered ……. Each child had sacrificed (舍弃) their own orange by   42   a quarter and had created a big, beautiful orange for him. 
    John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day.   43   that day, after he became rich, every year he   44   send oranges all over the world to children everywhere. His   45  was that no child would ever spend Christmas without a special Christmas fruit!

    On a cold evening I was waiting for a taxi in New York. About 5 minutes later, I was picked up by a driver, and he said how terrible some people were. I knew there was a part of me that wanted to be silent, but I had to listen out of kindness.
    The man told me that he had just come from JFK Airport without a customer. Over the courses of that taxi ride, what started as anger changed slowly and he mentioned that he had read an article which said that the happiest people are the ones that give, so he hoped he’d have more chance to give in his life. I was really starting to enjoy being with this man.
    As we arrived at the place where I wanted to go, I paid my money by credit card. I pulled out an extra $20 and said, “Sir, since we’ve been talking about giving this whole time, I want to share that feeling with you. I’ve already paid my money, but here’s an extra little bit. You can tell the next passenger in this taxi that their ride is a gift from another.”
    I thought I was pretty cool at this point, but he turned toward me, tears in his eyes, and said, “Sir, I have a better idea. You give that $20 to a homeless person around here and I will give the next passenger a free ride myself.
    It was a great honor meeting that man and learning the lesson of how everyone gives and adds joy to another with their generosity.
    小题1:According to the text, when the author got in the taxi, the driver was    .
    A．angryB．nervousC．worriedD．regretful

    A．help him to get out of troubleB．know what he was really like
    C．experience the joy of givingD．learn how to get along with others.
    小题3: What can be inferred from the taxi driver’s words in Paragraph 4?
    A．A driver should be willing to help.B．People should understand each other.
    C．The driver was deeply moved.
    D．One needs to keep an optimistic attitude (乐观态度).
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．A cold evening in New YorkB．Learning from a taxi driver

    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 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 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 81. 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 talking 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.

    She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
    She was too confused to make a correct choice.

    I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions（反应）. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
    My husband, the youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour（气味） and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled（摸索）with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
    The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.
    Then I really felt it — I embraced（拥抱）the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed   all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.
    The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”
    I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
    In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.
    小题1: The underlined part “a piece of cake” in Paragraph 1 means _______.

    B．Because they were moved by the two men.
    C．Because the two men smelt terrible.
    D．Because the two men seemed unfriendly.
    小题3: Why did the two men only buy coffee?
    A．Because they didn’t have enough money.
    B．Because they didn’t feel hungry.
    C．Because they knew others would help them.
    D．Because they were looked down upon.
    小题4:How did the teacher think of the author’s project?
    A．Hard to believe.B．Interesting to read.
    C．Very puzzling.D．Very satisfying.

    As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!
    Just imagine wearing T-shirts or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!
    Before the vacation started, we had a little episode(插曲) at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and me were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt relieved and amused. It was just because of the decorations(装饰品) on my pants and the tinfoil(锡纸) around my host mom’s chewing gum! —Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!
    Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share bedrooms, I, fortunately or unfortunately, had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking her up and hardly slept at all.
    Luckily, except for that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go kayaking(划皮艇), which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!
    When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked tanned and full of energy!
    小题1: What happened to the author and her host mom at the airport?
    A．They lost their passports.
    B．Their luggage was overweight.
    C．They quarreled with the other passengers.
    D．The decorations and tinfoil brought them trouble.
    小题2: What does the underlined word “they” in Para 3 most probably refer to?
    A．The author and her host family people.
    B．People in charge of security at the airport.
    C．People sharing the same house with the author.
    D．The author’s host mom and the host sister.
    小题3: We can learn from the first paragraph that the author   .
    A．hated going to FloridaB．had no sense of weather
    C．disliked the cold winterD．didn’t like living in North America
    小题4:From the passage, we can infer that   .
    A．the author thought little of her host family
    B．the author didn’t like her 4-year-old host sister
    C．the security check at the airport was very strict
    D．the author didn’t get along well with her host family

    How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each agc gives him without wasting any time in uselcss regrets.
    Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.
    When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady pro-gress in his job and of building up his own position in society.
    Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and tile ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can have the joy of seeing their Children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.
    小题1:The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ______.
    A．both aren’t satisfied with the weak points at their ages
    B．both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward
    C．the human beings should be like this
    D．they don’t think both ages are acceptable
    小题2:“Enjoy what each age gives him without wasting time in useless regrets” means ______. 
    A．Enjoy what is given to him by people at his age, feeling regrets
    B．Enjoy himself at his own age, feeling regrets for a waste of time
    C．Make full use of the time he is given at his age instead of regretting having no achievements
    D．Enjoy his own age and took down on the people at other ages
    小题3:“Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard” means “______”. 
    A．Children shouldn’t be made to live a hard life
    B．All the children won’t have to work for their own living
    C．Children shouldn’t answer for the hard life they are leading
    D．A child bas few duties to try hard to make a living for himself or for his seniors
    小题4: According to the passage, what is a child’s greatest dissatisfaction? 
    A．He thinks he has not got the equal freedom as his seniors.
    B．He thinks he knows less about things than the older do.
    C．He thinks it easy for him to do something wrong.
    D．He thinks the society doesn’t believe in him.

    When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it home for the holiday. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, colors, and ornaments (饰品) shining against the green of a pine.
    "Where did it come from?" I asked.
    "I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when in great need... such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."
    The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal（水晶）Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly（难看）at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
    "It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look for a better one. But I couldn't be fussy(挑剔的)."
    "Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect."
    It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.
    1. What did his mother's Christmas tree look like?    

    2. From the passage we can infer (推断) that ________ .
    A. all the soldiers had the three-day holiday      
    B. the writer could not go home for Christmas
    C. the writer spent his first Christmas during the war
    D. not all the soldiers went home for Christmas during the war
    3. From the passage, we can conclude that ________ .
    A. his mother didn't like Christmas trees  
    B. the writer didn't like the tree cut by someone else
    C. the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas trees
    D. his mother didn't want to have a Christmas tree during wartime
    4. The best title for this passage would be ________ .
    A. The Perfect Christmas Tree              
    B. How to Choose a Christmas Tree
    C. How Soldiers Spent Their Christmas      
    D. A Christmas with an Ugly Christmas Tree
    5. What does the writer mean by saying "All Christmas trees are perfect"?
    A. Nothing is as perfect as Christmas.         
    B. Once at home, everything is so nice.
    C. During the war, trees are hard to find.     
    D. All Christmas trees are the most beautiful.
