    I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of   1  my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet  2 . Bob often came with me and almost every time he'd  3  to go off and look for something special. I'd always see him walking down the walkway   4  the three yellow roses in his hands. Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart   5  with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the  6  small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.
    Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I   7  as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,   8  them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but   9 , at these prices, I don't know."
    "My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every   10  you have together."
    She smiled and I saw the feeling in her   11  as she placed the package in her basket and   12  away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then  13  the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the   14  smile I had ever seen.
    As she came closer, I saw what she held and   15  welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses   16 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my   17 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost  18 . How did she know?
    Suddenly the   19  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   20  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

    "Colour" and "color"，"favourite" and "favorite"... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u"? Is it because they are lazy?
    Of course not. In fact，the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758-1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War (1775~ 1783)，Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary，rather than rely on British versions (版本). He dropped the British "u" in some words. And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
    Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous (unreasonable)，he wrote: "A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous."
    Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
    "He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity，"said Joshua Kendall，who is working on a biography (传记) about Webster. "He at last bonded (联合)us through our language."
    小题1:Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?
    A．The shaper of American English.
    B．American identity.
    C．Webster's dictionary.
    D．Spelling differences between American and British English.
    小题2:According to the passage，when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the following EXCEPT        .
    A．voicing his opinion B．changing "centre" into "center"
    C．adding local words D．dropping "u" in all the British words
    小题3:Which of the following word can best describe Noah Webster’s work?
    A．Interesting. B．Meaningful. C．Unfinished. D．Boring.
    小题4:Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?
    A．Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.
    B．Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.
    C．Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.
    D．Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.
    小题5:When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?
    A．In 1758. B．In 1783. C．In 1800.D．In 1828.

    Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.
    One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked.

    You might say that Barack Obama was elected President of the US because he knows how to give a speech. In 2004, the little-known Obama gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention (民主党全国会议). It was a great speech — poetic, and inspiring. The people who heard it would remember it for a long time.
    Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. There are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express complicated ideas in a straightforward, natural way.
    Before becoming President, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer – his two memoirs (回忆录) have become best sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker.
    As a lawyer, Obama learned how to make strong, convincing arguments. As a professor, he learned how to explain complex subjects in ways that helped students understand without boring them. As a writer, he learned how to use languages to have a powerful influence on his audience.

    Secret weapons of Obama
    Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. Then listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits and rewrites the drafts several times.
    Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently making fun of his guests. His opening lines attract the audience’s attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other.
    Make fun of himself: Obama laughs at his past mistakes and is never afraid of showing them to the public.
    Obama delivers speeches to audiences large and small. He can make his audiences laugh or cry. His speeches are always thoughtful, well written and just right for each occasion.
    小题1:The third and fourth paragraph mainly talk about _______.
    A．why Obama’s speeches are praised
    B．how Obama acquired his speaking ability

    In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.
    In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs .
    The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
    Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
    Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
    The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also on,e should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
    With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry.
    小题1:People once thought lightning came from ________.
    A．the godsB．the earth
    C．the skyD．nature
    小题2:According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
    A．Metal fences.B．Machines.
    C．Electricity. D．Lightning rods
    小题3:Lightning can travel ________.
    A．as quickly as waterB．not so quickly as electricity
    C．at very high speed D．at very low speed
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.
    B．Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.
    C．The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.
    D．A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.

    When I was young, my father used to grow carnations(康乃馨) ----- a kind of flower which was red, pink and white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came back home from work, he would enjoy watching them. Everyone who saw them admired them for their beauty. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”
    One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnations from their stems(枝干) one by one and arranged them on the ground. She believed that dad would be very pleased to see them that way.
    When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely speechless. However, my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation. When my dad arrived, he went straight to see the flowers as usual. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbor’s children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”
    Dad’s face changed into a smile and then he said, “Do I have a better flower than my lovely daughter?” My younger sister smiled and hugged dad strongly.
