    Without any hesitation, he said, “I’d be better off dead.” Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s mouth tore my heart apart. He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.
    I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts.
    He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first.
    Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.
    My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someone’s life. With the fragility of life as it is, I believe in the necessity of encouragement.
    小题1:According to the first paragraph, what the author’s friend said made the author feel ______.
    A．puzzledB．heartbroken.C．frightenedD．hopeless
    小题2:By saying “convenience is not in my vocabulary”, the author means ______.
    A．he is always ready to help his friend.
    B．he hardly spares time to help his friend.
    C．he has no good excuse for refusing his friend.
    D．he is not good at communicating with his friend.
    小题3:From the passage we learn that the author’s friend ________.
    A．had a happy childhood but everything changed later
    B．wanted to share his story but no one listened.
    C．took it for granted that he was made fun of
    D．was always of sad appearance
    小题4:What does the author learn from his experiences?
    A．How to make a big difference to others.
    B．The importance of encouragement.
    C．How to get rid of depression
    D．The necessity of security

    小题3:C
    小题4:B

    I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to  51 the problem. It certainly wasn’t  52 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
    Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled  53 from behind me. A man got out and offered to  54 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became  55 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But  56 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the  57 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had  58 me.
    Then, without  59 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I  60 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much  61 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my  62 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you  63 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he  64 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
    The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he  65 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they  66 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my  67 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same  68 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I  69 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a  70 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

    Three Boys and a Dad
    Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
    Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍）. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
    Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
    By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
    At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所）.“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
    小题1:When his wife left home. Brad expected to          .
    A．go out for a walk in the park
    B．watch TV talk show with his children
    C．enjoy his first day off work
    D．read the newspaper to his children
    小题2:Which of the following did Randy do?
    A．Drawing on the wallB．Eating apple jam
    C．Feeding the fish.D．Reading in a room
    小题3:Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?
    A．Because he wanted to clean up his house.
    B．Because he suddenly had to go to his office
    C．Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.
    D．Because he had to take his wife back

    NBA commissioner David Stern was in Orlando on Thursday night, getting ready for Sunday’s All-Star Game. Of course, all he could talk about was the only player anyone wants to talk about these days: New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin.
    Hours before Lin took the court against the Heat, a few hundred miles South down I-95 in Miami, Stern told reporters that Lin’s instant popularity hasn’t ever been matched in sports history, not even by Sunday’s biggest names, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant.
    The Associated Press had the details.
    “I haven’t done a calculation, but it’s fair to say that no player has created the interest and the craze in this short period of time, in any sport, that I’m aware of like Jeremy Lin has,” Stern said Thursday.
    Lin, an undrafted(未选秀的)guard from Harvard, has become the NBA’s biggest story since coming off the Knicks’ bench earlier this month to lead them to nine wins in 11 games heading into their matchup with Miami on Thursday night.
    With Lin’s popularity in Asia as the league’s first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent, and with the religious community because of his strong Christian faith, Stern says he’s “never quite seen anything like” the attention on Lin.
    “It’s fascinating,” Stern said after the All-Star Jam Session opening ceremonies.
    The top five videos on NBA.com since Feb. 4, when Lin joined the circulation, are all Lin or Knicks related. Lin went from 190,000 followers on Sina, China’s version of Twitter, on Feb. 2 to more than 1 million as of Feb. 16.
    Indeed, Lin’s popularity is so out of this world that the NBA made a late list switch to ensure his participation in the Rising Stars Challenge on All-Star Saturday, a game that includes the NBA’s best rookies(新秀球员)and sophomores. Lin is in such high demand that all of the game’s other participants will meet with the media following a team practice on Friday while Lin will have his own, separate press conference later in the night. 
    This is Jeremy’s world, folks. We’re all just living in it. Even David Stern and the rest of the league’s All-Stars, at least for the moment. 
    小题1:The following statements about Jeremy Lin’s instant popularity are true EXCEPT that ______.
    A．Jeremy Lin led New York Knicks to win all the recent games this month
    B．David Stern said Lin was the only instant popular player in NBA’s history
    C．Lin has become the NBA’s greatest story though he was an undrafted guard
    D．no player has created the interest and the enthusiasm in such a short period of time
    小题2:Why did Jeremy Lin have so many followers in Asia on Sina, China’s version of Twitter?
    A. Because Jeremy Lin was born in Taiwan with strong Christian faith.
    B. Maybe because he is the first player born in America but has Chinese descent.
    C. Because Sina has a large group of surfing people, maybe more than 10 million.
    D. Because the top five videos on NBA. com since Feb. 4 are all Lin or Knicks related.
    小题3:The underlined phrase “out of this world” in Paragraph 9 may probably be replaced by ______.
    A．impossibleB．importantC．exceptionalD．excellent
    小题4:What can we learn from the above passage about Jeremy Lin’s instant popularity?
    A．Knowledge starts with practice.B．Failure is the mother of success.
    C．Every dog has its day.D．No pains, no gains.

    It was the first day of school. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady smiling at me. She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”
    I laughed and said, “Of course!” And she gave me a big hug. “Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
    She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have kids and then retire and travel.”
    “No seriously.”
    “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”
    We became friends at once. Over the course of the year, Rose easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she was happy with the attention given to her from the other students. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet（宴会）. I’ll never forget what she taught us in her speech.
    “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one useful thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity to do productive things. Have no regrets（遗憾；后悔）. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but we regret for things we did not do.”
    At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to honor the wonderful woman!
    小题1:While meeting Rose at the college for the first time, the author was curious about _______.
    A．her ageB．her lifeC．her purposeD．her dream
    小题2:By saying “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have kids and then retire and travel”, Rose was trying to be ___________.
    A．humorousB．amazingC．confidentD．smart
    小题3:What else did Rose most probably say at the football banquet?
    A．“It seems that my young days are over.”
    B．“Don’t do much in order to stay young.”
    C．“The people who fear death are those with regrets.”
    D．“When we are old, we can do nothing.”
    小题4:The story of Rose in the text shows that ___________.
    A．it is good to make friends with old people
    B．it is necessary to have a college education for old people
    C．it is important to have a healthy body when people are getting old
    D．it is never too late to be what you can possibly be

    There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places. Or you can go and see a color film. Or you can read travel books.
    It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的)account of travels which the author has actually made himself. If they are informative and have a good index(索引), then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective(客观的)description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. It can be sorted as a selected guide book. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an explanation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and interesting. But their basic purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way.
    Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “wonderful”, “excellent” or “magical”. You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.
