    When I decided to get married, my father decided to share some wisdom. “Lori, it is just as easy to love a rich man as it is to love a poor man, “ he said. My boyfriend didn’t have much money, but I loved him. “What?” I cried. “ How can you say that? I want to marry for love, NOT for money.” “ But why not marry someone you love who has money?” he asked. “Rich men are materialistic（物质主义的）. I’d rather marry a poor man who loves me,” I said and he gave in.
    And as we went on, with my family growing, I learned why my father put such importance on money. We had to cover the rent, car, electricity, food, and medical bills. We were under lot of pressure. The worries over whether we would be asked to move out or if we had the money to wash our clothes at the Laundromat this week made me question if I did the right thing by marrying a “poor” man.
    I realized that I had entered the ranks of the poor. Not that I’d ever been rich. Most of my life, I considered us in the lower middle-class rank. We had a house of our own, food on the table, cars, clothes, and money for college. But now, as I listened to an apartment neighbour talk about her monthly “Mother’s Day” gift, I realized she was talking about her welfare check（政府发放的救济金）. And another young mother tried to “help” me out by connecting me with a friend who stole baby clothes from a department store. “ For a small cut,” she said, “ I could return my ‘purchase’(购买的东西）for cash.” It made me sick. How poor was I?
    I had a college education but wasn’t using it. I insisted on not missing a minute of our children’s childhood and it came at a price. My husband was working as hard as he could and it wasn’t enough. But somehow we made it.
    The kids grew. Today, we look back and see the great values gained by going through those hard years. My children are not materialistic. They never thought they were poor growing up because we always managed to give a little bit of food, money, or clothes to the “poor”. They were satisfied with the simple things in life that come free such as a beach day or a horse back ride from their dad.
    We had our worries, but we still treasured our very favorite part of the day when we’d nest (栖息地）under the covers and talked about our future, the kids and how much we loved each other. Sure our financial(财政的) troubles caused a lot of fights, but we didn’t leave each other. We began to live a better life. We moved to a better community(社区）with good schools for the kids. And soon, we’ll face a new challenge with wealth. But we’ll never give up.
    My father died three years ago. Before he died, he knew I made the right choice. I’m proud of my decision.
    小题1:.The writer argued with her father because _________________.
    A．she thought her father didn’t love her at all
    B．her father thought her boyfriend was too materialistic
    C．her father wanted her to marry a rich man while she didn’t
    D．she thought her father loved her boyfriend’s money more than him.
    小题2:.After getting married, the writer questioned if she had done the right thing to marry her husband because___________.
    A．she was often scolded(责骂)by her father
    B．she found her husband was irresponsible(不负责任的）
    C．he didn’t think her husband loved her deeply
    D．they lived a poor life with children to support
    小题3:.After their children were born, the writer_______________.
    A．often regretted not using her college education
    B．worked very hard in order to make more money
    C．had to steal baby clothes from a department store
    D．looked after her children as a professional (职业的,专业的）housewife
    小题4:. Why didn’t the writer’s children think they were poor growing up?
    A．Because the writer always gave them whatever they wanted
    B．Because the writer and her children often helped other people.
    C．Because the writer didn’t let her children play with their rich neighbours
    D．Because the writer let her children have a good life through receiving help from others.
    小题5:.What do you think is the theme(主题）of the story?
    A．Women should always make a decision by themselves
    B．Listening to the old is important when people get married
    C．Money doesn’t matter as much as love in marriage
    D．Children don’t mind whether they have a poor family or not

    Last week, I bought an alarm system for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three small units. I put the control unit in the sitting-room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 4, 9 and 1, the last three numbers of our telephone number.
    Now I must explain how the alarm works:
    l There is a power siren(警报器) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.
    2 Each of the small units sends out beams or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise which you can hear 50 meters away.
    3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.
    That night I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜贼) could get into our house. However, at about 2:10 a. m., I woke up and heard the siren. “There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”“I’ll go and see who’s there,” I said. “Stay here. Don’t make a noise.”I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living-room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, reset the alarm and went back to bed. About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered. “It’s only me. I’m going downstairs to see what’s wrong.”I went down into the living-room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I turned on the light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (a kind of small animal) disappear behind the curtains.“Oh!” I said to myself. “That’s our burglar. ”When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards. Well. I won’t finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. I’ll send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.
    小题1:The writer bought an alarm system to ________.
    A．make sure that he got up early every day
    B．warn him when there were lizards in his house
    C．frighten burglars and tell him that somebody had got into the house
    D．make Mary feel safe to live in the large room
    小题2:The purpose of the three units was to________.
    A．send a message to the control unit and start the siren
    B．sound their own sirens when the control unit told them so
    C．check that the control unit worked properly all the time
    D．give them enough light
    小题3:If the writer set the alarm and remained in the room for more than half a minute, _______.
    A．nothing would happen
    B．the control unit would not work
    C．the siren would make a noise
    D．the dog would bark
    小题4:The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is to ________.
    A．tell us that the alarm system doesn’t work
    B．tell us an interesting experience
    C．show us how the alarm system works
    D．make it clear that he wants to give away his alarm system

    Combining families with kids can be tough and offers even more unexpected problems. You just don’t know how things will shake out until everyone is under one roof, trying on new roles with name that start with “step”. This is what happened to Sheila and Will, and Sheila’s 8-year-old daughter Ashley. After the couple got married, and Will became the member of the new family, things got worse than expected. How did they make it work? Read the full version of the story here.
    Shelia’s Turn: When Shelia and Will were dating, he seemed like kids, especially Ashley. He’d bring her presents, play games with her. But after the wedding, things took a turn. Will suddenly became a super strict stepfather, scolding Ashley for watching too much cartoons, constantly picking fights and punishing her for offenses as small as spilling milk. Shelia’s thought about leaving Will, but soon after they married, they had a son, Billy. Will adores his well-behaved boy, but Ashley hates him. Shelia doesn’t know what to do--- her daughter is miserable, but leaving her husband might mean losing her son.
    Will’s turn: Will was so excited to be a male role model in Ashley’s life. He didn’t just want to be a guy living in her house; he wanted to treat her like his own daughter, which, to Will, meant giving Ashley more rules and help her learn responsibility. He’d always felt that Shelia let Ashley loose on everything. But after the wedding, Will was surprised that Shelia didn’t want him to do that. If Will takes away Ashley’s TV privileges or tells her to clean up her room, Shelia just lets Ashley do what she likes and does it herself. Will was tired of this and he’d rather take his son and go.
    The advisor’s turn: The counselor(顾问) quickly recognized their conflict as a classic case of unspoken, hidden expectations. Before the wedding, when it was just Shelia and Will, everything was easy. But now, everyone in their big family is competing for attention, and the couple never sat down and discussed the biggest issue---their child-upbringing philosophies(育儿经). The counselor suggested Shelia allow Will to give some rules on Ashley but Will’s punishments couldn’t be extreme. Once Ashley saw that her mom and stepdad had become a united front, she cooperated more.
    小题1:The text is most likely to be found in a book about______.
    A．popular scienceB．historical events
    C．social problemsD．political systems
    小题2:The reasons for Ashley’s dislike of Will are as follows except_____?
    A．Will often picked fights with Ashley.
    B．Ashley often spilled milk on the floor.
    C．Will always punished her for bad behaviors.
    D．Ashley was stopped watching too many cartoons.
    小题3:What can we know about Will?
    A．Will has a good intention.
    B．Will does not love children
    C．Will does not love Shelia any more
    D．Will’s way of parenting is very perfect.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that the advisor’s attitude to their problem?
    A．NegativeB．ObjectiveC．CriticalD．. Subjective

    Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others."
    Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens.
    Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation.
    Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic.
    Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role".
    Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
    With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers.
    小题1:From the first two paragraphs, we can see ______.
    A．being active at 102 is achievable for everybody
    B．Oliveira owes his long life to his mother’s help
    C．being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character
    D．social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior
    小题2:How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?
    A．4B．5C．6D．7
    小题3:By saying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” in Paragraph 5, Heesters shows us he ________.
    A．wants to sit or lie in comfort
    B．is waiting for people to pick him up
    C．is willing to work till he dies
    D．prefers to give performance at home
    小题4:In the passage so many examples were given to show ________.
    A．old age is a big problem if you want to succeed
    B．as a senior citizen, you have to be open-minded and optimistic
    C．old people should never think of themselves as old
    D．old age cannot prevent a great person from achieving a lot
    小题5:In the writer’s opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not ________.
    A．intelligentB．pessimisticC．positiveD．diligent

    If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.
    “It’s next ‘wow’ vehicle,” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
    The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.
    The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
    The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you hold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home.
    The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Thrrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.
    The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, , a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.
    “If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option.” Gersh said.
    So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.
    小题1:We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _________.
    A．car-planes will be popular in 2012-4-6
    B．people might drive a car-plane in 2012
    C．both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
    D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
    小题2:It takes the car-plane one minute to _________.
    A．fold and unfold its wingsB．unfold wings for flying
    C．land in the airportD．meet flying safety regulations
    小题3:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
    A. The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
    B. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.
    C. The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.
    D. People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.

    There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority（优先）it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities（复杂）of spelling.
    If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
    I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “ This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible（难以辨认的）.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation（动力）to seek improvement.
    小题1:Teachers are different in their opinions about ___________.
    A．the difficulties in teaching spelling
    B．the role of spelling in general language development
    C．the complexities of the basic writing skills
    D．the necessity of teaching spelling
    小题2: The expression “play safe” probably means ____________.
    A．to write carefullyB．to do as the teachers say
    C．to use dictionaries frequentlyD．to avoid using words one is not sure of
    小题3: Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that___________.
    A．students will be able to express their ideas more freely
    B．students will have more confidence in writing
    C．teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
    D．students will learn to be independent of teachers
    小题4: The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is____________.
    A．unfairB．reasonableC．foolishD．careless
    小题5:The major point discussed in the passage is_____________.
    A．the importance of developing writing skills
    B．the complexities of spelling
    C．the correct way of marking compositions
    D．the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
