    Tomorrow was his girlfriend’s birthday and the young man was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her. She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them, so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question. What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift; tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her.
    He finally decided on perfume(香水). All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.
    At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’s fox terrier, a little dog for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array (长列) of perfume. He beckoned(招呼) a clerk, instructing her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers under the dog’s nose.
    Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly became frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the clerk waved one stopper under its nose.
    “I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high, but it was worth it, he thought.
    “My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.
    “Intuition(直觉), I guess.” said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.
    小题1:Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story ?
    A．Kind-heartedB．Curious
    C．CreativeD．Mean
    小题2:The underlined word “frisky” in Paragraph 4 means ______.
    A．livelyB．angry
    C．uneasyD．puzzled
    小题3:According to the story, the birthday present for the girl was actually decided on by _____.
    A．the young manB．the store clerkC．the man’s intuitionD．the dog Fritz
    小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE ?
    A．The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise.
    B．The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well.
    C．The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive.
    D．The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume.

    小题1:C
    小题2:A
    小题3:D
    小题4:B

    试题分析：文章介绍了一个年轻人为了给女朋友一个惊喜，想买香水给她，为了选择女朋友喜欢的香水，年轻人把狗用上了。
    小题1:推理题：从年轻人选择买什么礼物，到他用狗选择礼物，都可以看出他很有创造力。选C
    小题2:猜词题：从后面的描写， wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, 可知frisky 是活泼的意思。选A
    小题3:细节题:从最后一段的句子：he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.可知这个礼物是狗选出的。选D
    小题4:细节题：从故事情节可知宠物狗选择了正确的香水，是因为了解年轻人的女朋友的喜好，不是年轻人。选B

    A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternativethan to pray to God.
    However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.
    The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s parcel of land remained barren.
    After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.
    Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
    Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.
    The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.
    As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”
    “My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.”
    “You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”
    “Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”
    “He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”
    For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.
    小题1:The first man’s wife is _____.
    A．a swimmer who got to the island by accident
    B．an angel sent by God to keep him company
    C．a survivor from another wrecked ship
    D．a native person on the desert-like island
    小题2:The underlined word “barren” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
    A．isolatedB．unproductiveC．fertileD．dry
    小题3:Which of the following is true about the second man?
    A．He didn’t deserve any blessing from God.
    B．None of his prayers was answered by God.
    C．He is not brave enough to tell God his needs.
    D．His prayer helped his companion get out of trouble.
    小题4:What’s the moral of the story?
    A．Never judge a person by appearance.
    B．Don’t lose heart in trouble.
    C．Helping others is helping ourselves.
    D．Greed is the root of all evil.

My job was to 36 water to the runners, I remember being so 37 to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water.

    But then I 44 something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 45 abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 46 was only to finish.
    After a minute, it 47 me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself at that moment. I turned my embarrassment into 48 .
