There was no    44  that it came from the trees at the end of the garden.
“Who’s there?” I   45  as I walked, rather 46  , down the path that   47   to the trees. But there was no  48  . With the help of my torch I   49  the whole of that part of the garden and the lower  50   of the trees. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the ___51___ that someone was playing a rather silly joke on me.
___52   feeling rather puzzled, I went back to the house and   53   away the torch and the stick. I had just sat down when I was startled by the cry of “ Help! Help! ”, this time from  54  my shoulder. I dropped my book and climbed up. There, sitting    55  of the mantelpiece ( 壁炉 ), was a parrot!

I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist proposed that the   31  society has been consuming modern humans little by little.

“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.

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

An “apple polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂),but is close to it.
All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices ── just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.
There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing” ── “soft-soaping” or “butter-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise ── telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.
Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.
Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣).They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power.
He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.
小题1:Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “apple-polishing” ?
A.A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks
B.An employee tells his boss how good he is at management
C.A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followers
D.A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom.
小题2:Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ?
A.Too much flattery can carry us away
B.Flattery is too empty to do people any good
C.Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride
D.Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.
小题3:King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because __________.
A.he was sick of his normal
B.he disliked being overpraised any more
C.he wanted them to realize how wise he was
D.he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king
小题4:The author thinks that flattery can do good to those who _________.
A.are really excellent
B.lack confidence
C.are politicians or in high offices
D.think highly of themselves

Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after years-long and highly public battle with cancer.Mourners ( 哀悼者 ) gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world.
Steve Jobs made technology fun.As tech leaders, they're really happy if they have one hit in their life.Steve Jobs has the Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.
Steve Jobs was a college dropout.He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant.

Driving home from work one evening in the heavy rain, I found a very wet, injured cat on the side of the road. He looked up at me, meowing pitifully. A car must have hit it so it wasn’t able to move. I stopped my car and carried the cat in and went on driving.
At the nearest vet clinic, the vet gently examined it. "He's about eight months old and has two broken legs, but I would need X-rays to know how serious the damage is," he told me. "As he's not your cat, I don't know if you want to go ahead with this. It could be rather expensive."
I knew it would cost me hundreds of dollars, but I agreed with his advice. The following morning the vet rang to say the X-rays confirmed two bad breaks in his legs. "I'll operate on his legs and put metal pins in them to keep them fixed." he told me.
That afternoon I went to pick up my little friend. There I could hardly recognize him. His previously dirty fur was now a beautiful silver grey. His front legs were in two casts and he lay there looking at me, purring(发咕噜声) happily.
I thanked the doctor and went out to pay the bill. "I think you've given me the wrong account," I said to the clerk. "This is only $85. He's had X-rays and an operation on his legs." "No, that's right," she replied. "The vet has only charged you for the medication. There's a message on the bottom."
Written under the total were the words "SPECIAL RATE FOR ADOPTIONS." I was speechless at his kind and generous gesture. I paid the account and under his message I wrote "WITH GRATEFUL THANKS, CAT AND MUM."
小题1:Why didn’t the vet give the cat X-rays immediately?
A.The damage was not serious at all.
B.The cat was too young to be X-rayed.
C.The doctor wasn’t sure whether the author would like to cover the expenses.
D.The examination was too expensive for the author to afford.
小题2:What do we know about the author?
A.The author was a caring and generous lady.
B.The author often adopted animals.
C.The author’s workplace was far from home.
D.The author only worked at night.
小题3:Which of the following is true of the cat?
A.He was deserted by his owner and nearly starved to death.
B.He was saved on a dark and stormy night.
C.He was a lively creature with beautiful brown fur.
D.His back legs were broken and had to have an operation.
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.The adventure of a cat
B.An impressive vet
C.An unforgettable night
D.Love in relays
