    Instead of staying at home to care for the kids, many mothers work to help support their families. But what does a mother do when her child is sick?
    Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child. Although she lost her job, she took an opportunity to turn her hobby into a business: creating “baby cakes”, a combination of diapers (尿布) and baby products artfully arranged to look like a cake. Inside, it contains blankets, towels, bottles and toys — things that can be used for babies. They are perfect gifts.
    However, the idea of making “baby cakes” came from one of her experiences. When her child was born, she received a gift called diaper cake. It was made of diapers, but it was small and unusable. So she decided to create her own style of it to give her friends as a gift. Her friends liked these gifts very much and advised her to make and sell “baby cakes”.
    She thought that it would be turned into a full-time business. In 1998, she started Baby-Cakes.com. After several years, her business grew and expanded in a way that even she had never expected. She sold her products online at first. Three years after her own website was created, demand for her products was so great that in August, 2001 she opened a real store. She is ready to combine the online store with the traditional store.
    小题1:Sophia was out of work because     .
    A．she wanted to start her own business
    B．she lost interest in computer programming
    C．she failed to design computer programs
    D．she couldn’t balance her work and family
    小题2:What made Sophia decide to create “baby cakes” for sale?
    A．Her unemployment.B．Her family’s support.
    C．Her friends’ suggestion.D．Her market research.
    小题3:Which of the following is the right order for Sophia’s events?
    a. She set up her first real store.
    b. She turned her hobby into a business.
    c. She used both traditional and online selling.
    d. She set up her own website for her products.
    A．b, c, d, a.B．b, d, a, c.C．a, c, b, d.D．a, d, c, b.

    I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty，and I am one of the few people in the prison who is willing to admit what he did．I committed murder．I put a large insurance policy on my wife，who was three years older than 1 was，and then I fixed the brakes of the car her father had given us as a wedding present．It worked out exactly as I had planned，except I hadn’t planned on her stopping to pick up the neighbour woman and the woman’s son on the way down Castle Hill and into town．The brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushes，gathering speed．Bystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue in the town arid burst into flames．

    I was young，good—looking，and from the poor side of town．I met a pretty，headstrong girl who lived in one of the fine old houses on Carbine Street．She got pregnant later．Her father was agreeable to the marriage if 1 would take a job in the company he owned and ‘work my way up’．I found out that what he really had in mind was keeping me in his house and under his thumb，like a disagreeable pet that has not quite been housebroken and which may bite．Enough hate eventually piled up to cause me to do what I did．
    Given a second chance 1 would not do it again，but I'm not sure that means I am transformed．

    Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
    Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
    Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
    I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
    小题1:What’s the right order of the following events?
    ① I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.
    ② I went to the jungle.
    ③ I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.
    ④ I lay on the ground to have a break.
    ⑤ I picked fruits and chopped firewood.
    A．②③⑤①④B．⑤③②④①C．②⑤④③①D．⑤④③②①
    小题2:How does the author feel about the ant?
    A．He admired its attitude toward work.
    B．He was amazed at its tireless efforts.
    C．He showed sympathy for the little ant.
    D．He was content to have it as a companion.
    小题3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably          .
    A．work harder than beforeB．talk to the man on the horse
    C．make his way homeD．stay in the valley
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that the author          .
    A．enjoyed being alone
    B．experienced a world of quietness
    C．missed his busy life in the city
    D．had an unforgettable adventure

However, right now I want to just stick to the topic of    . When Joshua was born, the doctor     us not to “waste our time, energy or money". They claimed that our son would never accomplish anything. They told us he would never walk, talk or learn to use the toilet.      , we were not about to accept the words. However, we weren’t really sure what to expect.
    Therefore, we expected him to develop at his own pace, with a lot of help and encouragement, but only to develop little. We decided that     we saw progress we could never give up. Very early on, we knew in our hearts that we had to have high expectations, but how high? We could not set goals for him that he could not ever possibly reach.      , if we did not have high hopes, the chances would be very slim for him to work to his potential.

    Well, when I returned to     the kids, you can image my     when I discovered that Joshua was the winner from his class! Proud and excited, he told everyone, “I won the contest! I     it! ”
    CJ kept insisting that she had won too and it was certainly a    feeling to know that Joshua had achieved something that his  sister had not. After that I decided to keep my expectations    . It seems that most people work to whatever expectations are set for them. Why should Joshua be any    ?
