    It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song.
    But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”.
    During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities.
    In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.
    In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.
    Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it.

    I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start   16  them myself.

I learnt so much about them that I could  19 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of   20 .

    My wife had been changing her  22  to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite   23  of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a  24  way off and set them free. Some of the   25  were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of  26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes   27  storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great   28 . Then I'd watch them  29  round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good  30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to  31  what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would  32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won   33 .
    Then last year we had a   34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and  35 . It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

    Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and bad behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called the other.
    Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child’s reaction to his parents’ separation and pending (即将发生的) divorce?
    Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be here in time. They ignored each other.
    As I gave a detailed account of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his dirty, carelessly done papers?
    I found a sheet in the back of his desk. Writing covered both sides: not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled (潦草地写) over and over.
    Silently I gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then handed it to her husband. Then his face softened.
    At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. He helped her with her coat and they left together.
    In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the pain out pouring of a small boy’s troubled heart.
    The words are “Dear Mom…Dear Daddy… I love you…”
    小题1:The author called Tommy’s parents in order to ________.
    A．solve the couple’s problem
    B．scold them for their divorce
    C．help them realize their influence on Tommy
    D．blame Tommy for his failing grades
    小题2:This passage is most probably written by _________.
    A．a teacherB．a journalistC．a lawyerD．a doctor
    小题3:How did Tommy’s parents feel after seeing the words?
    A．Satisfied.B．Troubled.C．DepressedD．Moved
    小题4: We can learn from the passage that _______.
    A．the author knew Tommy often wrote to his parents
    B．the author said a lot to make Tommy’s parents reunite
    C．Tommy hated his parents divorcing
    D．Tommy was greatly influenced by his parents
    小题5: What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．A separate familyB．Tommy’s essay
    C．Never divorceD．A good teacher

    For any person who must speak in public, to business or pleasure groups, humor is a helpful, and necessary, tool for getting your message across. Why does humor work a lot? There are several reasons.
    People will enjoy what you have to say if it is presented with humor. But, more importantly, if you are in a situation where important, and perhaps controversial（有争议的）, ideas must be presented to less than open minds, humor allows those ideas to be presented in a non-threatening (无威胁的) manner. Abraham Lincoln was famous for his ability to relate humorous stories to make a point. Humor used carefully throughout a presentation will also keep the listener’s interest high. In a word, individuals learning how to use humor in their speeches can strengthen arguments, support interesting presentations and, most of all, entertain their audience in a positive and comfortable way. 
    While popular culture may well hold many kinds of humor, some of it has no place in presentations that are designed to educate and encourage the audience. If you want to become a professional stand-up (单人表演的) comedian whose goal is 100% entertainment, then you may be able to use some of the reference materials like The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking. They can help you develop your skills and sources of humor. To that end, your participation in this study of humor will become necessary. Hopefully, you will come to appreciate the special difficulty of entertaining the audience with good and clean humor.
    小题1: How many reasons does the author give for using humor?
    A．Two.B．Three. C．Four.D．Five.
    小题2:What’s the purpose of stand-up comedians?
    A．To educate the audience.B．To encourage the audience.
    C．To entertain the audience.D．To exchange with the audience.
    小题3:Why did the author suggest reading The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking?
    A．It was good for training one’s skills of humor.
    B．It helped the readers relax after work.
    C．It gave some tips on how to live a positive life.
    D．It was a textbook for professional stand-up comedians.
    小题4: Which of the following has a similar meaning to the underlined word “end” in the last paragraph?
    A．Finishing. B．Conclusion.C．Stop.D．Result.
    小题5:The passage is most likely to benefit________ a lot.
    A．science researchersB．public speakers
    C．dress designersD．sports players

    While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy (妊娠期) with my second child, we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana, where Marshall’s family live, to celebrate Jane’s 2nd birthday. Two days before we were to leave, we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby. Not knowing when this would happen, we decided to continue with our trip.
    Since Marshall’s family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm, you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there. That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time. I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there. I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good, so he went out and got the first one for me.
    During that trip, I totally got lost in the book, which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness. In the book, I noticed the name “Seamus”. I vaguely remembered it was pronounced “Shamus” and I liked the sound of that. I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too. Toward the end of the trip, I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book, which I was pretty excited about.
    Soon after we put Jane down to bed, I had started labor (分娩), so I was unable to read. The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours, but Marshall stayed there with me, sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter. I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience. And ever since then, Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books. We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives.
    We were sad to have lost the baby, but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption. And we gave this name to our adopted son. Though our Seamus doesn’t have a drop of Irish blood in him, the name fits him perfectly.
    小题1:Why did the writer want a good book during the trip?
    A．Because the trip to Louisiana would take a long time.
    B．Because she didn’t want to think of losing her baby.
    C．Because she had nothing else to do except reading.
    D．Because a good book could help her enjoy her trip.
    小题2: According to the story, we can know that the Harry Potter books _________________.
    A．made the family’s trip more excitingB．include five books all together
    C．have someone called Seamus in themD．can help people deal with their problems
    小题3: The writer named her son Seamus because ___________________.
    A．she wanted to keep her trip in memoryB．she loved this name very much
    C．her son doesn’t have Irish bloodD．it is a perfect name for a boy
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE about the couple?
    A．They planned their trip after getting the shocking news.
    B．They thought the cattle farm was too large to do anything on.
    C．They felt excited when they almost finished the trip.
    D．They liked reading Harry Porter very much after the trip.
    小题5: Which is the best title for the passage?
    A．Funny Stories Of My FamilyB．Seamus And Harry Potter
    C．How We Got To LouisianaD．How My Son Got His Name

    When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed（向……演讲） the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “ I am only a child,” I told them.” Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be. At school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do. You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words.”
    I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the people even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur（刺激）action. Now, ten years from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been achieved. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
    When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices—educa-tion, career, lifestyle—life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren’t taught how to seek a happy, healthy way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and naive（天真的）.
    Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of the change. I hope this goal will be met through our common efforts. Thank you all.
    小题1:The purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to     .
    A．end poverty and make schools beautiful
    B．find environmental answers and show off
    C．focus people’s attention on some social problems
    D．find a wonderful place and clean it up
    小题2:What does the underlined word “ovation”in the second paragraph refer to?
    A．A long period of laughing.B．A cold and unfriendly welcome.
    C．An expression used for greeting.
    D．Great applause or cheering.
    小题3:The information in the text is presented mainly through      .
    A．question and answerB．a personal lecture
    C．cause and effectD．listing steps in a process
    小题4:Which of the following best describes the speaker?
    A．He is an experienced educator.
    B．He is an impolite man.
    C．He is a man of great worries.
    D．He is a man of social responsibility.
