    My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body. Through the years I would   21  what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   22  was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy”. She said, “No. Many people are   23 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
    Several years passed   24  she asked me again. Since making my first   25 , I had often thought of the correct answer. So this time I told her， “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are   26  fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
      27  the years, Mother asked me a couple more   28  and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting   29  every year, my child.” Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was crying when it was our   30  to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. Mom asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
    I was   31  when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a   32  between her and me. She saw the   33  on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really   34  your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your   35 .” I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?” She replied, “No, it is   36  on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough   37  and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry   38  when you need it.” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a   39  one. It is sympathetic to the pain of   40 .

    Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
    The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
    I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”
    Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean？ You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me?I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
    小题1:We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.

    After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail（衰弱） and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed（挤榨的） orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, “Drink your juice.” Such a gesture（表示）, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom “Why doesn’t Dad love me?” Mom frowned（皱眉）, “Who said he doesn’t love you?”“Well, he never tells me,” I complained. He never tells me either,” she said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That’s how your father tells us he loves us.”
    I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap（小片） metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad handfed scrap steel into a device（装置） that chopped （切）it as cleanly as a butcher（屠夫） chops a rack of ribs（肋骨）. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors（剪刀）, with blades（刃） thicker than my father’s body. If he didn’t feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. “Why don’t you hire someone to do that for you?” Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed（搓） his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment（涂剂）. “Why don’t you hire a cook?” Dad asked , giving her one of his rare smiles.
    Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, Dad.” From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.
    小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A I just couldn’t understand my father      B My father never loved me
    C Silent fatherly love      D My hard-working father
    小题2:The author’s father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because ______.
    A that was the author’s favorite      B he was sure the author would be thirsty
    C the author was always complaining      D that was a gesture of love
    小题3:The author’s father didn’t hire a helper because ______.
    A his job was too dangerous      B his job required high skills
    C he wanted to save money      D he was not good at communicating with others
    小题4:We may infer from the passage that ______.
    A the author’s father lacked a sense of humor
    B the author quite understood his father as time went on
    C the author’s father didn’t love him very much
    D the author’s father was too strict with him

    One day not too long ago the employees of a large company in St .Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: “Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to attend the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”
    At first everyone was sorry to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: “Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least he’s no longer here! ”One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is you.”
    You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

    I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can  __1  it, they can certainly send them to the best universities.

There are plenty of loans（货款）and scholarships for the bright and   3  ones who can’t afford to pay.
    When children grow up and want to get  married, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the   4  to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it,it must be considered a(n)   5  not an obligation（责任，义务）.

    Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives.This means teaching them to  12 the rights and opinions of others;it means being respectful to elders,to teachers,and to the law.The best way to teach such values is by  13  .A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have   14  laughing and loving.

    I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
    “ Dad, dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”
    “ Son, hold on,” he said.
    “ No, you can’t drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”
    “ Wait, let me tell you…”
    “ Would you like me to throw it away from you?” I asked.
    “ Son, wait a second,” he said. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”
    When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
    In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.
    We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don’t get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.
    小题1:Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?
    A．Because it smelt terrible.
    B．Because it was mixed with something else.
    C．Because his father drank too much that night.
    D．Because it had been kept for years.
    小题2:What the author’s father said __________.
    A．made the author puzzled when he was a little child.
    B．was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author.
    C．threw the author into deep thought then.
    D．was an excuse to drink the wine.
    小题3: In the author’s opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will __________.
    A．do it betterB．save much time
    C．graduate from college more quicklyD．miss something useful to us in life
    小题4: Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?
    A．Well begun is half done.B．More haste（匆忙）, less speed.
    C．Failure is the mother of success.D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

    Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of   31  other people’s cars as well. It was pretty   32  outside and I had no plans to   33  to be in the bright sun. She   34  wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passersby for free. I had seen little kids  35  and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt   36  , I decided to help her.  37 she asked me, “What if we   38  this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and   39  her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with   40  ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n)   41  with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the   42 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5－11 years with the   43  to do something for others.
    All that seemed   44  and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to   45  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   46  others and do something nice in the community!
    I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   47  to help clean cars. The passersby were   48  and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming   49 ! I feel blessed by being   50  by such wonderful and loving souls.

    Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life．He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think．One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week．From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life．
    He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture．You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends．But you’ll know him only when you ask to lend you some money．If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before．Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it．
    Since money is important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important．The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book．
    Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect．I’m nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．
    People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In this book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the modern world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life．
