On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (老规矩) began.       breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I’ll       the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads (歌谣) like “I Had a Hat When I Came in.” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Marphy’s Chowder?”
I suppose it was        for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—        I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. As we        home slowly from church together, my father seemed very       . “Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his       . “There comes a time in every boy’s        when he must take on responsibilities. It’s time you        a greater role in the family. From now on, I want you to        the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle (纵横字谜) together.”
“The dishes!?” I        in surprise.
“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.
I started to say something about a man’s        or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗议) would be        .
I didn’t taste a bit of       that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.[]
At the end of the meal, my father        , “Let’s go to read the paper, honey.” “Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my 51 asked surprisedly. Father smiled and said, “your oldest son has        to fill the position.”
“I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting        .” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I        this.”
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked        at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.

On a freezing-cold February morning in Indiana, Jhaqueil Reagan,18, left home to walk to a job interview—ten miles away, over snow-covered roads.
Reagan had been looking for work for months. His mother had died two years earlier, and he was the only caretaker of his younger brother, Cole, 16, and sister, Jazzlyn, seven. He was desperate for a regular salary after cutting lawns(草坪) and doing other temporaryjobs.
Three hours into his hard trip, Reagan had covered only three miles. He paused outside a Cajun restaurant called Papa Roux to ask for directions from owner Art Bouvier, who was clearing ice and snow from the parking lot. “I told him to get on the bus,” says Bouvier. “He thanked me and went on his way.”
Fifteen minutes later, Bouvier pulled up in his car beside Reagan as he walked along. “You’ve really got to be on the bus,” he told Reagan. “I don’t have money for the bus,” Reagan replied. Bouvier offered him a lift. On the way, he asked the boy about his job search.
“I thought, This is the kind of kid I want working for me,” says Bouvier. He got the teen’s phone number and dropped him off for his interview.
Later that day, Bouvier wrote about Reagan on Facebook. “He doesn’t know it yet, but he starts on Monday,” Bouvier wrote. “It’s been a while since I’ve met someone so young with a work ethic(伦理) like that!” A few hours later, Bouvier called to offer Reagan a job. Shocked, the teen accepted on the spot. A television reporter caught wind of the story and interviewed the pair on camera that night.
Today, Reagan is washing dishes, filling orders, and greeting Papa Roux customers for $8.50 an hour. The publicity(宣传) has brought in so many new customers that Bouvier plans to open a second restaurant by the end of the year.
小题1:Why did Jhaqueil Reagan have to find a job ?
A.Because he had to make enough money to support his family.
B.Because his parents had died two years earlier.
C.Because he wanted to change his job.
D.Because he was desperate for a good job.
小题2:Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined part in the sixth paragraph ?
A.reportedB.deliveredC.heardD.told
小题3:Which of the following words best describes Bouvier?
A.honestB.warm-heartedC.modestD.independent
小题4:What’s the best title of the passage ?
A.A Young Man Who Had an InterviewB.A Young Man Who Found a Job
C.A Boss Who Offered a JobD.A Boss Who Took a Chance

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two­year­old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.
小题1:The author has given lots of food to others because________.
A.she is poor at cooking

C.she is friendly to others
D.she has received others' food
小题2:We can learn from the first paragraph that the author________.
A.had to stay in bed for several weeks
B.knew the family in need very well
C.was glad to be able to lend a hand
D.was tired of preparing food
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A.Her mother died when she was in hospital.
B.She didn't get enough food during her pregnancy.
C.She received food as well as comfort in her hard times.
D.She thinks offering food is the best way to show love.
小题4:What do we know about the author's family?
A.Her family is too poor to buy enough food.
B.Her family lives not far from a church.
C.Her husband is not good at cooking.
D.She has a babysitter taking care of her twins.
小题5:According to the passage, which of the following conclusions can we get?

During the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night.
Quite by accident I had pitched (set up) my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands.
Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt I staked out a property of my own, including a long section of the wolves’ path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later, the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected (cut across) the trail, he stopped as suddenly as if he had run into an invisible wall.
Cautiously, he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me.
His glare seemed to become more fierce as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had staked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine.
小题1: Why did the wolves manage to ignore the author’s presence?
A.Because his tent was out of the wolves’ estate boundaries.
B.Because the author and the wolves were already good friends.
C.Because they did not know him at all.
D.Because the wolves were afraid of strangers.
小题2: Which is TRUE according to the passage ?
A.The author likes staring matches esp. with wolves.
B.Staking the land was very easy.
C.Wolves can see the estate boundaries clearly with their eyes.
D.The author managed to know why the wolves ignore his presence.
小题3: What was the author’s discovery?
A.Wolves were not settled beasts, as is almost universally believed.
B.Wolves were settled beasts and the possessors of an estate with definite boundaries.
C.Wolves were not interested with strangers.
D.Wolves’ family was dominated by a female.
小题4:Why did the author stake out an area of his own?
A.Because he thought it better to be stared at than to be ignored.
B.Because he didn’t want the wolves to use the track past his tent.
C.Because he wanted the wolves to take cognizance of his existence.
D.Because he wanted to find out how fierce the wolf’s glare was.

My mind seems always to return to the day when I met Carl. The city bus stopped at a corner to pick up the daily commuters (someone who travels regularly to and from work), a group in which I was included. Boarding the bus, I looked for a place to sit. At last, I found a place near the back.
The man in the seat next to the one I was going for was an older man in a grey suit, well-worn dress shoes, and a black hat like I always pictured reporters wearing, but without the little press card. Seated, I began to read the book I had been carrying, which was Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. The man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I had read any other book like the one I was holding. When I told him I had, he seemed to become interested, and so did I. He introduced himself as Carl and asked if I liked jazz, and I told him that I didn’t really listen to it, and that I liked rock and roll. Waiting for Carl to tell me that I should listen to real music, I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded. He said, "You remind me of myself when I was your age. I remember how my parents hated jazz and how they couldn’t see how I could listen to that awful noise. I bet your parents say the same thing, don’t they?" Now it was my turn to smile, amused with how right he was.
As the bus carried us from one side of the city to the other, Carl and I talked about a lot of different things. The more we talked, the more amazed I became at how much the two of us really had in common, despite the age difference. I haven’t seen him since we parted, but the thought of our connection that day rarely leaves my mind.
Carl really made me think about how much we can learn from each other if we just break through the blocks between us we’ve got. I mean, I would have never thought before that day that I could have anything in common with someone so much older than I. But Carl taught me that no matter what we are, we are all just people, and that we should make an extra effort to try and get to know our neighbors and people we see every day, regardless of age, race, religion, sex, or anything else. If we all take the time to attempt to understand each other, I think that the world would be a much better place that we could share together, as humans.
小题1:From the first paragraph we know that the author _____________.
A.did not mind whether there was a seat or not
B.hoped to have a seat when getting on the bus
C.thought the bus was overcrowded
D.looked for a seat but failed
小题2:The author usually imagined a reporter as one who _____________.
A.liked jazz music
B.enjoyed talking with others
C.liked reading Jack Kerouac’s works
D.usually wore a black hat and press card
小题3: After talking with Carl, the author realized that _____________.
A.older people were nice to talk to
B.he should have known Carl earlier
C.his parents were so different from Carl in listening to music
D.age was not necessarily a problem in heart-to-heart communication
小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A.the author hasn’t seen the old man since then
B.jazz music used to be more popular than rock and roll
C.the author was not satisfied with human relationships in the world
D.Carl made the author realize we humans live in peace and brotherhood
