    I found a website that has changed my life for the better. The website is wishuponahero.com and it is all about people helping others, not expecting anything in return.
    I am a single mom with a son. My son’s 12th birthday was on October 29th, 2007. Knowing that I didn’t have money to buy him a birthday gift had broken my heart. So I decided to post a wish on wishuponahero.com for people to send my son birthday cards.
    Many cards just started coming and my little son was very excited and this went on for about three weeks. The smile on his face and the sparkle (闪光) in his eyes brought me to tears.
    Then, in the end of November, he started thinking about Christmas and he already knew that there would not be a tree for him because we didn’t have enough money. However, it didn’t matter to him. All he talked about was how much he wanted to make other children smile. So he decided that what he wanted to do was earn money to buy Christmas cards and send them to other children from poor families. My son went out daily and raked (耙) leaves and walked some dogs to make money. Not only did he buy cards, but he also made enough money to buy all the stamps and lollipops (棒棒糖) to be sent with the cards. He sent out about 100 cards. Doing this brought him that same smile and sparkle in his eyes as did the birthday cards that he received.
    小题1:The single mother posted a wish on wishuponahero.com because _______________.
    A．she wanted to buy her son a card on the website
    B．she wanted to get something for free
    C．she hoped that people could help her
    D．she thought her son would like the website very much
    小题2:What did the son think of his birthday cards on October 29th, 2007?
    A．Disappointing. B．Exciting.
    C．Cheap.D．Poor.
    小题3:What can we conclude from the story?
    A．Surfing the Internet is of great use.
    B．One should take care of his children.
    C．People can ask for help from wishuponahero.com.
    D．Learning to give makes one’s life more meaningful.

    Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny   45  . He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could   46  entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who   47  such a unique and powerful mind   48   they never quite fit into the main stream of life.   49  Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it.

    I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be   52  by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be   53  again, or whether these years have left us with   54  
    in common. I wonder whether he can ever be the man I   55 , or only remain the boy I knew.

    One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
    The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
    The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
    Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
    Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you're also planning a "single" trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
    小题1: Why does the author want to go to Italy again?
    A．He had a great time there.
    B．Italy has a lot of attractions.
    C．His friend invited him there.
    D．He didn't stay in Italy long enough.
    小题2:What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?
    A．Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling
    B．Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
    C．Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.
    D．Solving the ticket problem far in advance.
    小题3: In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains
    A．the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
    B．the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
    C．what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
    D．the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
    小题4:Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?
    A．Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?
    B．Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?
    C．How did the author prepare for his trip?
    D．What tools did the author use for his traveling?
    小题5: From the text we can know the author
    A．enjoys traveling everywhere in the world
    B．likes being accompanied by tour guides
    C．advises us to arrange trips by ourselves
    D．met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy

    Some couples spend every waking minute together. Others fill their hours with personal hobbies,outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen Treat at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia."You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."
    The right balance? It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult,but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Treat says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?' "
    Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close—including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships.
    "We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere. Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented(航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group of our friends. I may be with him during the poker night, but I don't play, and the wives usually watch a chick flick' DVD or something while the poker group has an evening of fun. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."
    小题1:The author writes the passage to ______.
    A．offer some suggestions on how to spend the time after retirement
    B．advise couples to develop their separate hobbies
    C．warn couples not to be accusing each other
    D．give people some advice on how to entertain themselves after retirement
    小题2: Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.
    A．couples stay together all the time
    B．couples express their feelings in a loving way
    C．couples be separate
    D．wives make many friends
    小题3:It can be inferred that________.
    A．many couples are faced with problems after retirement
    B．America has a large population of retired people
    C．most people join various social groups after retirement
    D．playing poker is a popular activity among retired people
    小题4:Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.
    A．having dinner regularly
    B．holding parties
    C．having weekly vacations at the beach
    D．having fun playing poker
    小题5:The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.
    A．warn the husband not to act as a judge
    B．suggest couples have discussions about difficulties
    C．suggest how to keep the correct balance
    D．require couples to be considerate

    Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands' shadow danced on the bedroom wall．"A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old．Her blue eyes shone with pride as she showed me the animated image she had created．"Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?" she asked．"Sure," I said, "and then we'll read a story and tell your angels goodnight．"To my youngest daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer．
    Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story．She reads it to me, complete with expressive accents for the story characters．
    To say I'm proud of our relationship would be an understatement．We have shared days of joy as well as tragedy．Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and special "life stuff" that is all our own．
    I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually, learning much from each other．The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives．
    So it is with all of our relationships．The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop．Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship at its center--one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart．
    Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust．I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships．
    Relationships take time to develop and maintain．It is not always easy, but the results are priceless．"Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away．
