He listened in silence, and then said, “I know a family who needs just about everything.”
    When they reached a building, the driver said, “They live on the third floor.” Ursula shook her head, “Would you take this dress to them and tell them it’s from someone …someone who has everything.”

    In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (秃的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.
    Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.
    Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣, 唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
    That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.
    The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
    “My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”
    Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.
    小题1:Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.
    A．most of her hair had fallen out
    B．she was receiving treatment for cancer
    C．she felt depressed and quit from school
    D．she was suffering from a pain in her back
    小题2:What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?
    A．It helps young patients record songs.
    B．It is supported by singers and patients.
    C．It aims to replace the medical treatment.
    D．It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.
    小题3:What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?
    A．Most children are naturally fond of music.
    B．He was brave enough to put up performance.
    C．The project has positive effect on young patients.
    D．Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.
    小题4:What is probably the best title for the passage?
    A．Purple Songs Can Fly
    B．Singing Can Improve Health
    C．A Shining Moment in Life
    D．A Kind Woman—Anita Kruse

    When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
    A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
    I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling (运球) and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.
    小题1:From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.
    A．the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
    B．the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
    C．the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
    D．the author didn't know how to use a phone at that time
    小题2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
    A．The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
    B．The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
    C．The days before the author went to senior high school.
    D．The author's happy childhood with his teammates.
    小题3:What surprised the author most at the recreation center?
    A．That it was very near to his home.
    B．That there was a basketball court inside the building.
    C．That there was a special smell in it.
    D．That there was a fast food restaurant in it.
    小题4:The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.
    A．it is the basic preparation to play basketball
    B．it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
    C．it is the only way to make people stronger
    D．it helps keep stomach power
    小题5:What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
    A．To introduce some skills in playing basketball.
    B．To tell us about his dream of becoming a basketball star.
    C．To introduce his own experience of playing basketball.
    D．To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying.

    Studying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38-year-old volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky,” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.
    Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it’s not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”
    Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn’t take any unnecessary risk she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000°C, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision --- there wasn't time to do anything else.”
    And what about the future? “I haven’t been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic,” she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won’t be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.
    小题1:Hazel’s claim that “driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ______.
    A．people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past
    B．Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in.
    C．there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives
    D．Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces
    小题2:When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?
    A．When she was visiting Italy.
    B．When she was at school.
    C．When she was twenty.
    D．When she saw Vesuvius.
    小题3:The underlined word “these” (in paragraph 3) refers to __________.
    A．melting ice-caps B．volcanic eruptions
    C．changes in sea level D．higher temperatures
    小题4:When Hazel was on Mount Etna she had to ________.
    A．take a dangerous route
    B．take an unnecessary risk
    C．leave her boots behind
    D．walk for ten hours around the mountain
    小题5:In the future, Hazel wants to ________.
    A．revisit volcanoes she knows
    B．go on holiday to the Antarctic
    C．find a less dangerous job
    D．discover new things about volcanoes

    One night about nine o’clock, Dr. Eyck, a surgeon, had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clens Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.
    The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock.
    A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.
    It was after 2 o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.
    The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.
    “Mr. Cuninghan,” said Dr. Haydon to the man, “This is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who walked all the way from Albany to save your boy.”
