         I stole your dog. No, I didn't set foot in your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like-the word "rubbish" comes to mind.
         I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards
    from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town's people had already ignored her, judging
    by the place where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the "cross" that she
    dragged behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.
         She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like what she
    should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching (畏缩) when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won't beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today as I looked out of the window she
    attempted to play with other dogs. No, it's clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.
         It's not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count
    on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen "property"
    which is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, and plead with the court that she is rightfully
    yours... I'm convinced that this is the best "crime" I've ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me
    more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have
    one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.

    1. What's the author's attitude towards the former owner of the dog?
    A. Puzzled.  
    B. Angry.
    C. Shocked.  
    D. Satisfied
    2. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A. the dog is not lovely
    B. the dog tried to find a kind master
    C. the dog was treated badly by its former master
    D. the author will be charged with stealing the dog
    3. What did the author think of his theft?
    A. He was afraid of being punished.
    B. He thought he had to do it.
    C. He believed that the law would allow him to do so.
    D. He did it with pride
    1-3 BCD

         I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled her way through
    the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would
    often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball.
    I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just
    over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice
    her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.
         One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, "I want
    to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I
    want to be the best. My daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count. "Well, I had to
    give it to her-She was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.
    Every week, she led her school team to victory.
         One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms.I walked across the street
    and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came a soft
    reply, "I am just too short." The coach told her that at 5'5" she would probably never get to play for a
    top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship. So she should stop dreaming about college. She was
    heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had
    talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did
    not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing
    could stop her except one thing-her own attitude.
         The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was
    offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had
    dreamed of.
    1. The author was probably the girl's __________.
    A. neighbor      
    B. friend
    C. mother  
    D. teacher
    2. Why was the girl heartbroken?
    A. She was considered too short to be a top player.
    B. Her coach stopped her training because of her height.
    C. She couldn't be on a college basketball team.
    D. She wouldn't be admitted by an ideal college.
    3. We can learn from the passage that__________.
    A. her family wouldn't like to pay her college fees
    B. her father forced her to play basketball in college
    C. being a top basketball player can win you a scholarship for college
    D. she wouldn't like to turn to his father for help when in difficulty
    4. Which word can best describe her father?
    A. Encouraging.  
    B. Optimistic.
    C. Stubborn.  
    D. Cruel.
    5. Which proverb best matches the story?
    A. Practice makes perfect.
    B. Rome was not built in a day.
    C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
    D. Pride comes before a fall.

         I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to go against many of the Dos and Don'ts my
    parents taught me.For example, when I kept playing jazz records on the player, my father would
    think of such music as making noise and replace  them with disks of classical music that I always
    considered extremely dull.
         My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always saying that
    "One rotten (腐烂) apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples". When I insisted on sleeping with my
    pet dog, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas (跳蚤).
         These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were unreasonable
    about.Today, however, I am a father of a boy of sixteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son
    with a lot of rules that he seems to find hard to accept.The other day, I noticed that my son's hair was
    too long, so I told him to go to the barber's and get it cut short.Usually, he is fairly obedient, but this
    time he put_his_foot_down."What's wrong with my long hair?I don't think you have the right to order
    me to cut it short, even if you're my father!"
         When I was a boy, if I had spoken in such a way to my father, he would have taught me a good
    lesson.But now we are living in a world with more freedom.My son's insistence on wearing his long
    hair was only an example of the generation gap that existed between us.So I tried to be more
    understanding and now he still wears his long hair.
    1. The writer's parents thought it proper for him to________.
    A. sleep with his pet dog
    B. listen to jazz
    C. be careful about making friends
    D. wear long hair
    2. Which of the following is true?
    A. The writer gave more freedom to his son.
    B. The writer's son often went against him.
    C. The writer always obeyed his parents as a child.
    D. The writer liked wearing long hair.
    3. The underlined phrase "put his foot down" in the third paragraph means ________.
    A. obeyed  
    B. insisted  
    C. accepted  
    D. left
    4. The writer thinks that________.
    A. parents should be more strict with their children
    B. no generation gap exists between parents and children
    C. parents have the right to order their children
    D. parents should show more respect to their children

         I am a good mother to three children.I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being
    a good parent.
         I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good
    friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say.I am a good friend
    to my friends, and they to me.Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

    is not leisure(休闲) but work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the
    best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

    living.    I learned to live many years ago.Something really, really bad happened to me, something that
    changed my life.If I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is
    what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
        I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried
    to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.And I tried to do that, in part, by
    telling others what I had learned.
        By telling them this:read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life
    as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.

         I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I was younger than I
    thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself. I admit, it
    was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two more children. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking "What do I know about
    being a grandmother? -I haven't even finished raising my own kids yet!" I don't like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gave me a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew, and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite
    figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother, Granny,
    as she's known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
         I didn't realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of
    grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from my Granny:
         Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had a cookie jar full of
    cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with the counter, Granny would get the cookie jar
    down for me. When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched, I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I did when I went to
    Granny 's house was check the cookie jar and there were always cookies in it. Many years later, I'll drive my own children to Granny's house and the first thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
         So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte' s first Christmas, my daughter
    bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to see me, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.
    1. The writer thought it was a little discouraging to be a grandmother because________.
    A.she was not old enough to be one    
    B.she was not emotionally ready to be one
    C.she thought her daughter was too young to be a mother
    D.grandmother should be older than she was
    2. The underlined phrase "that same challenge " in the first paragraph refers to" ________"
    A. taking care of a grandchild
    B. taking care of a baby
    C. being a young grandmother
    D. being a young mother
    3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.
    A.the writer has many happy memories of her grandmother's cookie jar
    B.the writer always wanted to know what was inside her grandmother's cookie jar
    C.the writer often drove her grandchildren to see her grandmother's cookie jar
    D.womenof the writer 's age all have a cookie jar for their grandchildren
    4. What kind of grandmother did the writer want to be?
    A.One who has a jar filled with many kinds of cookies for children and herself.
    B.One who grows up with her grandmother's cookie jar with all kinds of cookies.
    C.One who is like her own grandmother with a cookie jar to treat her grandchildren.
    D.Onewho always makes different kinds of cookies to treat her grandchildren.
