    Twenty years ago I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I­­­­­­­­­­­­   21  -，I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor    22

    After a long pause the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood    24    me by her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car and then  25to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked   26 toward the car.

    “It’s not the shortest way” I answered quickly.
    “Oh I’m   29 ” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice临终医院. I don’t have any   30  left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

    Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a   34 building and would sit staring into the darkness saying nothing.
    At  35  she suddenly said” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
    We drove in silence to the   36 she had given me. “How much do I   37 you” she asked. “Nothing.” I said. “You have to make a living” she answered. “Oh there are other   38 ” I answered.

    There is a very special wolf that lives in Africa. They are actually called, the African wild dog, of painted dogs.
    These animals live in open woodlands, or in the plains of Africa. Today, however, most of the animals can be found in eastern or southern Africa. These animals are beautiful. They have rounded ears instead of pointed like most dogs, and they have four toes (脚趾) on each of their four feet, also a unique characteristic because other dogs have five. Their fine fur is always different from each other. The fur is usually a combination of black, brown, red, and white, and sometimes even yellow. No wonder they’re called the painted wolf.
    The African wild dog is a very social animal. They live in groups and have numbers from five to about twenty. The members of a group are always very close to one another. They communicate in their own language or body language. When someone is very old or sick, the others will help, and they are willing to share the food with the elders and with those who are weak, which is what we should learn from.
    The family does everything together, from raising young, to sleeping together, to hunting. When they hunt, they will work together suing team work to kill animals that are larger than them.
    They sometimes hunt farm animals. This is unfortunate, because both poachers (偷猎者), and people who own farms shoot the painted dogs who are just trying to survive.
    Before, there used to be many large groups throughout the land, but now the African wild god is very rare. They are also losing their population because of their own loss of habitat thanks to human’s farming and forest cutting.
    小题1:From the text we learn that the African wild dog         .
    A．lives in the north of Africa
    B．has sixteen toes altogether
    C．has pointed ears like most dogs
    D．lives in forests in groups
    小题2:Why do African wild dogs get the name “painted dogs”?
    A．They all have colorful fur.
    B．The dogs in the same group are of different colors.
    C．Artists love to paint them in different colors.
    D．None of them has the same color.
    小题3:According to the author, what should we learn from African wild dogs?
    A．They always do everything together.
    B．They help the sick, the elderly and the weak.
    C．They are always very close to one another.
    D．They communicate in their own language.
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT the reason why African wild dogs are becoming very rare?
    A．Poachers kill some of them.
    B．They are short of food sometimes.
    C．They are losing their habitat.
    D．Farmers shoot some of them.
    小题5:Where could this passage probably be found?
    A．The TravelersB．Fashion WeeklyC．Animal WorldD．Star Magazine

    When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Rivera, the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something.
    Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (评论家) Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere--- in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.
    Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.
    Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.
    As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.
    小题1:What is most difficult for Jarolim?
    A．Working in different places to collect information.
    B．Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.
    C．Finishing her work as soon as possible.
    D．Passing a test to write travel guides.
    小题2:What do we know about Jarolim from the text?
    A．She is successful in her job.
    B．She finds her life full of stresses.
    C．She spends half of her time traveling.
    D．She is especially interested in museums.
    小题3:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．Adventures in Travel WritingB．Working as a Food Critic
    C．Travel Guides on the MarketD．Vacationing for a Living

    Weeks passed and the  40  over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of  41 before the holiday break. I smiled in  42  as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 43 standing by my desk.  
    “I have something for you” he said and   44 from behind his back a small box.  45   it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it. ”I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 46  saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said. “The box is nice, David, but it’ s  47 . ”
    “ Oh no it isn’t ,” said David “ It’s full of love, my mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there .”
    Tears filled my eyes  48  Ilooked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given  49  to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 50 the little empty box set on my desk.

    "Super Dan", as top-seeded Lin Dan of China is better known in the badminton（羽毛球） world, had his Olympic dream come true after claiming the men's singles gold by beating Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia on August 17 in the Beijing Olympics.
    His father, Lin Jianbin, said "Super Dan"has waited for four years to get this championship and he felt very proud of his son, as well as his prospective daughter-in-law Xie Xingfang, who is also a badminton player and won silver in women's singles at the Beijing Games.
    An SMS: The beginning of a love story
    Lin was born in Shanghang County, Longyan in Fujian Province. He first met Xie Xingfang when he was 14-years-old. 16-year-old Xie was attending a national youth team badminton training camp in Jinjiang, Fujian and Lin was also there.
    Tall and beautiful, Xie became the Snow White in the heart of Lin Dan, and he tried to please her and get chances to chat with her after the training sessions. He did not go beyond that.
    Before the Spring Festival in 2004, Lin finally mustered（召集，聚集） the courage and sent Xie Xingfang a text message - I LOVE YOU. In fact, Xie Xingfang had already realized Lin Dan was fond of her. And covertly（秘密地） , she began to pay attention to Lin's movement and performance on the court. "He is very interesting, got a lot of ideas, and is a lovely boy."
    Two Kisses
    In May 2004 at the Thomas Cup in Jakarta, their love relationship was first known to the public. Xie sat with her teammates and watched the men's team playing. When Lin Dan won the match, he rushed to the bench and kissed Xie, a move that Xie did not expect Lin to do in public. A photographer captured this moment.
    At the All England Open in 2007, Lin kissed her again in public, making Xie feel like the happiest woman in the world.
    After Lin won his third title at the Open, he did not stay to watch Xie play. Xie defeated her opponent and won the championship. When she was called to accept the trophy（奖品，战利品） , Lin suddenly emerged at the central venue, holding red roses and gave her the flowers, and a passionate kiss.
    Nine Roses
    Earlier, on February 14, 2006, Lin and Xie were with the national badminton teams at a training camp in Jinjiang. The teams had their rules – not going out of the training camp. Xie thought she would spend the Valentine's Day without flowers.
    But Lin still managed to give her a surprise – giving her a Dior wallet as a Valentine's gift and nine roses. With the teams' rule in place, Lin asked his local friend to buy the roses and gave her a pleasant Valentines surprise.
    A 200-square-meter apartment
    Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang's love has been through four years of tests, and Xie's father also said that they should consider marriage after the Olympics.
    In fact, Lin Dan has already prepared for this. He has bought a 200-square-meter apartment in downtown Beijing, with 4 rooms and 2 living rooms. Paying about 20,000 yuan per square meter for the apartment, it is reported the apartment is now valued at 8 million yuan.
    "After the Olympics, we really want to live our own lives, go on vacation, go to school, get married, I am really looking forward to it," Xie said happily.
    With two kitchens, one Chinese and one Western style, Xie said she wanted to be the person preparing soup at home and enjoy family life.
    小题1:How old was Lin Dan when he first met Xie Xingfang?
