    Hidden in our subconsciousness(潜意识）is a perfect mental picture.  We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways,  of children waving at a crossing , of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
    But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.  On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, condemning(谴责）the minutes for loitering(虚度）— waiting, waiting,  waiting for the station.
    "When we reach the station, that will be it!”we cry. "When I’m 38." "When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the debt!" "When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of rement, I shall live happily ever after!"
    Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream.It constantly outdistances us.
    "Relish(appreciate) the moment" is a good motto,  actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
    So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, swim more rivers,  watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.

    C．Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.

    Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.
    Make friendship a priority. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the grass in your garden uncut or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.
    Open up to close friends. Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt” intimacy (亲密). Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems，but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem (自尊)when they are shaken by a job loss, or other such events.
    Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies，singing in a choir，and joining in a bowling league.
    Don’t wait for a friend to ask a favor. When a friend has the flu，offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their after­school activities.
    Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage，friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.
    Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms，or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.
    Enroll in an adult­education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.
    小题1: People with close friends have a ________ ability to fight disease than people who are alone.
    A．lessB．greaterC．poorerD．little
    小题2: According to the passage，you’d better offer advice to your friends ________.

    Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path．I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud．As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack．It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected．I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times．I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me．Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing．And I was laughing．After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
    Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward．My attacker rushed me again．He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain．For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused．I wasn't sure what to do．After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly．I stepped back to look the situation over．My attacker moved back to land on the ground．That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier．He had a mate and she was dying．
    Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her．I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate．He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake （缘故）, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large．He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her．His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable．I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool．He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed．    
    Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.

    It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non-English speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play. If I tried to talk to him, he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
    After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help of one of my outgoing and friendly little girls. I called her over and she ran to me, ready to help.
    I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her. I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this, she could do that, she could try this idea, she could try that idea. She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can, and said, “Don’t worry. I speak kid.” And she ran off.
    I stood there all alone, silently watching her. It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off, hand in hand, happily joining a game of tag(捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
    I often think of that small moment, about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid, little kid and middle kid. I knew my focus must be on teaching students how to think, how to approach problems, and how to figure out solutions and never take the opportunity away. We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us, the teachers, as well as our kids.
    小题1:.
    Why did the author worry about the boy?
    A．He didn’t dare to look the author in the eye.
    B．He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.
    C．He failed to understand what the author taught.
    D．He was unwilling to communicate with others.
    小题2:.
    After the girl agreed to help, the author    .
    A．taught her what to do in detailB．thanked her for her willingness to help
    C．sent her to make friends with the boy at once
    D．reminded her of what she should be careful about
    小题3:.
    By saying “I speak kid”, the girl meant that she could    .
    A．speak the language that kids understandB．speak the boy’s native language
    C．understand what kids are thinkingD．speak well like a little kid
    小题4:.
    The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to      .
    A．play at break timeB．learn from students

    I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
    The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
    Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don’t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.
    The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.
    小题1:. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______.
    A．its convenient location
    B．its great variety of goods
    C．its spirit of goodwill
    D．its nice shopping environment
    小题2:. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ____.
    A．sell cheap products
    B．deal with unwanted things
    C．raise money for patients
    D．help a foreign country
    小题3:. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?
    A．The operating costs are very low.
    B．The staff are usually well paid.
    C．90% of the donations are second-hand.
    D．They are open twenty-four hours a day.
    小题4:. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
    A．What to Buy a Charity Shops.
    B．Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.
    C．Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
    D．The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops.

    When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（light）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
    When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
    When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(disappointment)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
    For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.
    It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist，who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
    小题1: In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.
    A．become serious about her studyB．go to her friend’s house regularly
    C．learn from her classmates at schoolD．share poems and stories with her friend
    小题2:In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.
    A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us
    B．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
    C．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared
    D．we parted with each other in London
    小题3: According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.
    A．call each other regularlyB．have similar personalities
    C．enjoy writing to each otherD．dream of meeting each other
    小题4: In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.
    A．seek professional helpB．be left alone
    C．stay with her best friendD．break the silence
    小题5: What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Unforgettable ExperiencesB．Remarkable Imagination
    C．Lifelong FriendshipD．Noble Companions
