A very little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him a plastic pail (桶) and a shiny, red plastic shovel (铲). In the   36  of creating roads and tunnels in the sand, he   37  a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
The boy dug around the rock,   38  to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy. Later, with much   39 , he pushed the rock across the sandbox by   40  his hands. When the boy got the rock to the   41  of the sandbox, he found that he couldn’t roll it up and   42  the little wall.   43 , the little boy pushed, but every time he thought he had made some   44 , the rock tipped (翻滚) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy pushed and pushed, but his only   45  was to have the rock roll back.
Finally he   46  tears. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window   47  the drama was unfolded. The moment the tears fell, a large   48  appeared across the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. Gently but   49 , he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had?”
Defeated, the boy   50  back, “I did! I did! I used all the strength that I had!”
“No, you didn’t. You didn’t ask me for help.” The father   51  down, picked up the rock and dropped it off the sandbox.
Do you have “rocks” in your life that need to be   52 ? Are you discovering that you don’t have   53  it takes to lift them? There is someone who is willing to give us the   54  we need. Maybe, it’s sometimes a good idea to ask others for   55  when we meet difficulties we can’t overcome.

The Man Who Achieved Everything He Could
Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire --- he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish.
There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36  he set his mind to it.
He knew that his  37  had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate  38  that would dwarf (使相形见绌) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could  39  books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could  40  things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within --- and that power knew no bounds.
There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one  41, he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to  42  all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any  43  meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and  44  children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide  45  he should bring his potential into full play.
Time went by, and he grew  46. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.
One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling  47, he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked  48  into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49  one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped  50  forever.
The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是,自鸣得意) by thinking that they could have  51  this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but  52  . You simply lack something that is  53 for achieving that goal you’ve never reached — a talent, a skill, willpower, 54 something else. In fact, 55  you don’t achieve is something you’re not capable of achieving.

He was 11 years old and often went fishing. On the day before bass (鲈鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening.
When his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish. Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
Lighting a match, the father looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy, saying, “You’ll have to put it back, Son.”
Looking around, he saw no other fisherman or boats. Even so, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the water. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect (建筑师) in New York. He often takes his son to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish… again and again… every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. As his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
小题1:Seeing the boy skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water, the father felt __________.
A.admiringB.nervous
C.worriedD.shocked
小题2: On seeing that the big fish was a bass, __________.
A.they discussed how to deal with the fish
B.the boy threw the bass back into the water gladly
C.the father made a decision that the fish must be set free
D.they were worried that other fisherman might know what they had done
小题3:From the passage, we can learn that __________.
A.the father was an architect
B.the son never forgets the lesson
C.the father used to catch a big bass
D.the father made his son feel regretful all his life
小题4: The passage mainly wants to tell us that __________.
A.an ethical decision is not difficult to make
B.it is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes
C.fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions
D.it’s easier to make an ethical decision than to carry it out

It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up shop when I hurried into the florist’s. “Now, what is it you want?” Mr. Rocco turned to me. “I want the most beautiful flower you have.” I replied. “And just how much do you have to pay for this most beautiful flower?” I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and dime. He nodded, and then showed me a plant on the counter. “I can give you this one for 35 cents.” he said. “Aw, gee,” I protested, “it looks like a weed!” About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. “Now trust me, boy—I promise that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower.” said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it.
It was almost midnight when I arrived home. Mom was seriously sick and using the front bedroom. I looked in to see if she was asleep, and then quietly tiptoed in and set the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother’s Day.
The next morning, I dressed and hurried downstairs. The sun was shining through kitchen window as I looked into Mom’s room. She motioned for me to come in, then glanced over at the table where the plant was. Holy mackerel! There were three big yellow trumpet-shaped(喇叭状的)blooms. It was just like Mr. Rocco said—the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I looked at Mom, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She held out her hand for me to come near, then pulled me close and hugged till it hurt. Then, remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn’t supposed to touch me, she quickly let me go.
My dear mom died the next night. The moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of my life. Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her, but I’d always know how much she loved me.

The Worst Part
Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.
I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.
“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”
I thought about that.
“Something on your mind?” he asked.
“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.
“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”
I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.
There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.
“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”
Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truck drivers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”
小题1:We can conclude from the passage that              .
A.Leigh’s mother often went to golf gamesB.Leigh was a deserted boy
C.Leigh’s dad never had a rest on SundaysD.Leigh’s father lived in another city
小题2:Which is true about Bandit?
A.It was killed by a truckB.It was let out of the cab and got lost
C.It was frozen to death.D.It ran off Highway 80 and into the mountain.
小题3:The underlined sentence “Keep your shirt on”(last para) probably means “       ”.
A.Cool downB.Stop talkingC.Be quietD.Keep warm
小题4:The worst part in Leigh’s eyes may be that           .
A.he forgot to go to get the pizzaB.his parents got divorced
C.his dad got remarriedD.his dad didn’t love him

It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forgot her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.
“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents, ” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”
What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
“Granny, granny, ” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”
He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.
“No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?”
“No, granny.”
Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.
小题1: As can be inferred from the passage, _______.
A.the old lady lived alone in a flat away from her daughter
B.the friends sent the old lady many lovely presents by post
C.Myra was stopped by her husband from seeing her mother
D.the neighbours cared little about the old lady in daily life
小题2:The old lady felt _______ when she saw no packet came with her daughter’s card.
A.excitedB.happyC.disappointedD.impatient
小题3:Which of the following might serve as the best title for the passage?
A.The PresentB.The CheckC.The BirthdayD.The Daughter
小题4: The reason why the old lady tore the check into small pieces was that _______.
A.she was sure her daughter would come, not the check
B.she didn’t notice there were six figures on the check
C.she didn’t think the check was large enough for a present
D.she would prefer a present with love from her daughter
