Showing good sportsmanship（体育精神），I had the kids  47 the peppers that Sam and I would eat.  They picked the largest two red peppers.  Then they picked a  48  green one for themselves.

    One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the wonderful works..
    A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for tolerating her constant words. Disturbed by their noise, I moved on.
    I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant talking, I moved away quickly.
    I was standing at the counter of the museum gift store doing some shopping when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He turned it into a long cane (手杖) and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
    “He’s a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
    “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
    “Can’t see! You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
    I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.
    And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away arm in arm.
    小题1:Which of the following statements is true?
    A．The husband was doing all the talking when the couple viewed the works.
    B．The husband tapped his way to the coatroom to get his jacket.
    C．The husband was considered a brave man by the clerk at the store.
    D．The husband allowed blindness to change his life.
    小题2:The underlined word “encountered” in the passage means “________”.
    A．saw B．metC．talked D．argued
    小题3:At first the author’s attitude towards the wife of the couple was _________.
    A．positive B．neutralC．boredD．admiring
    小题4:What can be inferred from the passage is ___________. 
    A．the man had his eyes blinded in a fight
    B．the man must be a painter before
    C．the woman was very devoted to his husband
    D．the man often killed time by visiting exhibitions

    Daniel stays home on workdays. He starts his personal computer in order to connect with the office which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
    The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (终端) in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do shopping without going out of their homes.
    Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living-rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living-rooms.
    小题1:After work, Daniel likes to ______.
    A．listen to music at the concert hallB．watch a movie in his living-room
    C．chat with his friends on the net D．play baseball with his workmates
    小题2:The underlined sentence “Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ______.
    A．Daniel is a person full of imagination and he can make his life colorful.
    B．Daniel is not a real person but the lifestyle of his kind does exist.
    C．Daniel is only an ordinary person but he has his own way of living.
    D．Daniel is a model who makes full use of modern technology in life.
    小题3: What will the writer most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
    A．Games and sportsB．Personal banking
    C．Music and filmsD．International business
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
    B．Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
    C．We may no longer need to work in the office.
    D．Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

    Robert Frost was at heart a mean-spirited human being, not the kind of man one would expect to write poetry. He was born in San Francisco. Frost entered Dartmouth University in 1893, but dropped out, and switched to Harvard, which he attended for two years. He started a brief teaching career, where he was inspired to become a poet by some of his students’ work. Frost stopped teaching and became a farmer. During this time he wrote numerous poems, and a couple of short stories. While he was a farmer he started to think seriously about becoming a famous poet.
    In almost all of his poems, Frost wrote in the first person. The first widely-read poem that he published was called My Butterfly.

His poetry describes the forces of nature, and the violence and deep emotional(情感的) needs of human beings, which reflect the experiences of his childhood.

    I remember growing up, my mom always said, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” It is so true. Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our success and our joys, comfort us in our challenging moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “A friend is a present which you give yourself.”
    To be a good friend or partner, it’s importable be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jumping to conclusions or getting defensive. Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror, for when they hear their words repeated back to them; it can help them to realize that what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
    Patience, compassion and empathy are also important traits in being a good friend or partner. You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are priceless gifts that can help change a person’s life.
    Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a tremendous impact on your self-esteem and life path. As someone once told me, “the attitude of your friends is like the buttons on an elevator. They will either take you up or down.”
    小题1:In order to make good friends, you should do the following except ______.
    A．Be a good listenerB．Be patient, compassionate
    C．Be carefulD．Be generous to your friends
    小题2:What will you do to your friends according to the passage?
    A．Buy your friend a mirror.B．Point out their mistakes if there is any
    C．Give them encouragement and confidence.D．Pay attention what they do
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?
    A．It is different whether you have friends or not.
    B．The support of friends counts when you have difficulties.
    C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    D．You are certain to succeed if you get the support of friends.
    小题4:Which of the following statements is not right according to the passage?
    A．It is good to share your fun with other.
    B．The friend is a mirror for us to learn more about others.
    C．You’d better be a good listener if you want to be a good friend.
