    The soldiers spoke quietly among themselves and the first soldier then  39  the village elders. “Your tired fields have left you  40  to share, so we will share what little we have: the  41  of how to make soup from stones.”
    42  the villagers were interested and soon a fire was put to the town’s greatest pot as the soldiers dropped three smooth  43  into the pot full of water. “Now this will be a fine soup,” said the second soldier, “but a little salt and some parsley（欧芹）would make it  44  !” Up jumped a villager, crying “I’ve just remembered  45  some have been left!” She ran away, 46  with the parsley and salt. 47  the water boiled, corn, carrots, beef and cream  48  their way into the pot when all sat  49  to have a large meal.

In the next morning the three soldiers  51  up to find the whole village standing before them. At their feet  52  a bag of the village’s best bread and cheese. An elder said that the soldiers had given them the  53  gift: the secret of how to make soup from stones and they would never forget. The third soldier turned to the  54  and said, “There is no secret, but this is certain: it is only by  55  that we may enjoy a large meal.”

    Recently, I have begun to do rides with a group of guys who ride professionally (老练地). The first day, I finished the ride with great   36 , though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most the ways. To my   37 , I did a little better the second time.
    I decided to work harder to   38 . Yesterday, I   39  so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路线) I usually take;   40 , I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn’t really sure about which   41  I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders   42 , and I just followed them.
    A few minutes later, one of the guys got a flat tire (爆了的轮胎), and, with the help of the others, he had it   43  in about a minute. We all waited there   44  he changed his tire. After we started riding again, I noticed something   45 . The guy at the front would ride   46  for a couple of minutes, then he would move over to the side,   47  his way to the end of the line, and the guy behind him would move into the lead position. The process (过程) would   48  every few minutes. This was a lot easier than riding alone, trying to   49  the first rider. This time I had a great time – and I think it is the   50  I’ve ever gone.
    This made me realize how important teamwork is, and the   51  of having a great team. The point is that you don’t have to be at your best   52 . You give it your all for a while, and then you let the guy   53  you do the same. The entire team improves because you don’t have to be the   54  all the time. You get your time to shine, and so does everyone else. You cannot get anywhere – or even make any worthwhile improvement – without a   55 . Who else will stop and help you to change your flat tire?

    When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
    People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
    Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
    Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distances as people with two eyes.
    小题1:We should take good care of our eyes________.     .
    A．only when we can see well
    B．only when we cannot see perfectly
    C．even if we can see wel
    D．only when we realize how important our eyes are
    小题2:When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably________.     .
    A．near-sightedB．far-sighted
    C．astigmaticD．suffering from cataracts
    小题3:The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means_______.
    A．obviousB．possibleC．clearD．unclear
    小题4:Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for_______   
    A．seeing at nightB．seeing objects far away
    C．looking over a wide area D．judging distances

    Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes---khaki pants and sports shirt---to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
    More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday.” “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
    Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
    小题1:David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because_______.
    A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
    B．he couldn’t stand a clean appearance
    C．he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
    D．he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
    小题2:David Smith wears casual clothes now, because________
    A．they make him feel at ease when working
    B．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
    C．he looks handsome in casual clothes
    D．he no longer works for any company
    小题3:According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?
    A．Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
    B．Comfortable clothes make employees more productive
    C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees
    D．All the employers in the U.S are for casual office wear.
    小题4:In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT_______.
    A．saving employees’ money
    B．making employees more attractive
    C．improving employees’ motivation
    D．making employees happier

    As a young girl, Margaret “Mattie” Knight never played with dolls, preferring to make toys for her brothers instead. In 1849, Knight went to work in a cotton factory where she witnessed a “shuttle,” a device that carries thread back and forth across a textile loom（纺布机）, fly off the machine when the thread broke, striking and killing a young boy about her own age.
    The 12-year-old Knight developed a safety mechanism that made it impossible for a shuttle to leave the loom. The design was so effective, soon virtually every new power loom carried her invention, saving countless workers from injury or death. Being so young, she didn’t bother to patent the device, so she never received payment.
    Knight wouldn’t make the same mistake later in life when she invented a machine that could produce flat-bottomed paper bags. Knight had built a small wooden model in her home, but she needed a metal version to show it could hold up to the stress of mass production. So she hired Charles Annan to make the full-sized machine for her, only to have him try to claim the patent for himself. When Knight sued（起诉）, Annan’s argument was that the design had to be his, because no woman could possibly understand the complex mechanics. Knight proved him wrong when she brought back her wooden prototype and explained how every part worked. She won the case in 1871, making her the second woman to hold an American patent. Over a hundred years later, her design is still used as the basis for many modern flat-bottom bag machines.
    But that wasn’t the last the world heard of Mattie Knight. During her lifetime, she made about 90 inventions and received 26 patents, becoming one of the most productive female inventors of the 19th century.
    小题1:We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.
    A．Knight behaved like boysB．Knight had an unhappy childhood
    C．Knight did a poor job of making toysD．Knight liked inventing things as a child
    小题2:What do we know about Knight’s first invention?
    A．It is still used today.B．It brought her great profit.
    C．It was made when he was 20.D．It reduced injuries at textile plants.
    小题3:Knight sued Charles Annan because he _______.
    A．stole the wooden model for the machine she invented.
    B．failed to make the full-sized machine for her
    C．tried to patent her invention for himself
    D．kept the metal version for himself
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．Mattie Knight’s fight for her patentB．A great woman in the 19th century
    C．“The female Edison”, Mattie KnightD．Great inventions, great woman

    It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
    “Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.
    I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
    小题1:Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?
    A．the writer’s studiesB．wars around the world

    A．doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor
    B．doesn’t want the writer to major in English
    C．gets along very well with the writer
    D．doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea
    小题3:The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.
    A．disagreesB．shoutsC．smilesD．complains
    小题4:Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?
    A．He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.
    B．He wants to find a job in his community in the future.
    C．He wants to do something he really likes in the future.
    D．He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.
    小题5:We can know from the last paragraph that ____.
    A．the writer’s mother works very hard for the family
    B．the writer doesn’t know what his future will be like
    C．the writer doesn’t think being a doctor is a good job

    It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few  36 . On their faces was confidence . This was their last exam — then on to 37 and jobs.
    Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 39 of the world.
    The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)  40 task. The professor had said they could bring  41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other, during the test.
     43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they noted(注意到) there were only five essay-type questions.
    Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
    He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 47 a hand was raised.
    “How many answered four?” Still no hands.
    “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly （不安地,慌张地）in their seats.
    “One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .”But the class remained silent.
    The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that,   50 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively(相对地,相当地)  52 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all  53 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just  54 .”

    Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression．Molly’s mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．
    A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog．The dog bit all four of Molly’s legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly’s owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital．Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染).
    At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep．But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.
    Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!
    After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt．But she leaves her m ark in other ways, too.
    Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!
