Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands' shadow danced on the bedroom wall."A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old.Her blue eyes shone with pride as she showed me the animated image she had created."Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?" she asked."Sure," I said, "and then we'll read a story and tell your angels goodnight."To my youngest daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer.
Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story.She reads it to me, complete with expressive accents for the story characters.
To say I'm proud of our relationship would be an understatement.We have shared days of joy as well as tragedy.Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and special "life stuff" that is all our own.
I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually, learning much from each other.The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
So it is with all of our relationships.The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop.Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship at its center--one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart.
Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust.I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships.
Relationships take time to develop and maintain.It is not always easy, but the results are priceless."Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away.

B.If you take time to attempt to build relationship, you will find it easy to get the satisfactory results.
C.Plant the spirit of trust into others and you will create valuable memories for each other.
D.It's not worth spending time developing relationship if you meet the failure at last.

When I was 14, I was hired for an after-school job selling subscriptions (征订,订阅) to my hometown paper, the Houston Post. I was sent to some of the city’s worst neighborhoods to “beg” door-to-door.

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 36  , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January   37  air.
Teach a dog to close a door behind him?

However, there remains much work to be done.I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again  46  he will close the door from a distance.But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the   47  will be completed, and, with the way things are   48  , completed quickly.
What a  49  treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the  50  I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby.

One fine afternoon, I was walking along Fifth Street when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. Why I wished to buy only one pair was unimportant. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye. A boy clerk, who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward. “What can I do for you, sir?” he said “I wish to buy a pair of socks.” I replied.
His eyes shone. There was a note of excitement in his voice. “Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?” I had no idea of that, as my entrance had been accidental. “Come with me,” said the boy, eagerly. I followed him to the back of the shop, and he began to pull down box after box from the shelves, showing their contents (内装物)for my choice.
“Hold on, lad” I said “I am going to buy only one pair!” “I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren’t they wonderful!” There was on his face an expression of seriousness and pride and delight as if he were showing me the secrets of his religion(宗教信仰). I became far more interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in surprise. “My friend, ” said I, “if you can keep this up, if this is not merely from having a new job, if you can keep up this high spirit and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.”
小题1:What did the writer want to buy one fine afternoon?
A.A pair of shoes.B.A pair of socks.
C.Two pairs of socks.D.A set of books.
小题2:Which is true according to the passage?
A.The shop was on the Second Road.B.The boy was 18 years old.
C.The boy was not in high spirits.D.The writer entered the shop by chance.

A.if you don’t work hard, you will lose the job
B.you should keep on following your customs
C.if you keep up your great interest in your work, you will succeed in the future

I found a website that has changed my life for the better. The website is wishuponahero.com and it is all about people helping others, not expecting anything in return.
I am a single mom with a son. My son’s 12th birthday was on October 29th, 2007. Knowing that I didn’t have money to buy him a birthday gift had broken my heart. So I decided to post a wish on wishuponahero.com for people to send my son birthday cards.
Many cards just started coming and my little son was very excited and this went on for about three weeks. The smile on his face and the sparkle (闪光) in his eyes brought me to tears.
Then, in the end of November, he started thinking about Christmas and he already knew that there would not be a tree for him because we didn’t have enough money. However, it didn’t matter to him. All he talked about was how much he wanted to make other children smile. So he decided that what he wanted to do was earn money to buy Christmas cards and send them to other children from poor families. My son went out daily and raked (耙) leaves and walked some dogs to make money. Not only did he buy cards, but he also made enough money to buy all the stamps and lollipops (棒棒糖) to be sent with the cards. He sent out about 100 cards. Doing this brought him that same smile and sparkle in his eyes as did the birthday cards that he received.
小题1:The single mother posted a wish on wishuponahero.com because _______________.
A.she wanted to buy her son a card on the website
B.she wanted to get something for free
C.she hoped that people could help her
D.she thought her son would like the website very much

A.Disappointing. B.Exciting.
C.Cheap.D.Poor.
小题3:What can we conclude from the story?
A.Surfing the Internet is of great use.
B.One should take care of his children.
C.People can ask for help from wishuponahero.com.
D.Learning to give makes one’s life more meaningful.

While in Banff, make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below. Here is The Pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.
Best time to visit is during the off-season, from early May to mid-June, or in October. This way you can avoid sharing the highway with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. But whatever the season, take some lunch with you from Banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.
Forty minutes north of Banff, side by side with the Banff National Park, sits world-famous Lake Louise. This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. Glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.
Back on the road, and it’s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier. You can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. Either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.
Finally you’ll reach Jasper, the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It’s worth riding the Jasper Skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. If you can have lunch there, do it. The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor’s face.
小题1:According the passage, The Pines is a                                .
A.place in which you can see many mobile homes
B.mountain where you can get a good view of the valley
C.town which happens to be near the Banff National Park
D.restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food
小题2:What will probably happen when visitors come at the end of June?
A.They may have trouble finding a restaurant.
B.They may come across traffic jams.
C.They may travel more easily with cars.
D.They may do much more sightseeing.
小题3:Similar to the Chateau Lake Louise,                           .
A.the Banff National Park is to the west of Banff
B.the Columbia Icefield lies between Lake Louise and the Banff National Park
C.the Jasper Skytram has a history of more than 80 years
D.the Jasper Park Lodge was built in the 1920s
小题4:Besides the beautiful sights in Jasper Park Lodge, visitors to Jasper can enjoy themselves by                                   .
A.taking the Jasper Skytram and eating in the restaurant
B.taking the Banff-Jasper loop and Jasper Skytram
C.having a lot of food to order in the restaurant
D.taking the Jasper Skytram back to Banff

If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings.It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world.This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal.Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results.To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
小题1:Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A.To prepare for a meal.
B.To arrange the furniture in a special way.
C.To buy some books from a bookstore.
D.To“write”a letter with the computer.
小题2:“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
A.a new thing can only be created at the basis of earlier things
B.a new thing is only a tale
C.we can seldom create new things
D.we can hardly see really new things in the world
小题3:What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into
practice?
A.It’s more difficut to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B.To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D.One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
