    One Sunday, a picture in the newspaper touched me. A young woman stood in front of a totally destroyed home. A little boy stood beside her with his head   36 . Holding her skirt tightly was a tiny girl, eyes wide with   37  and fear.
    With growing   38  I noticed that their sizes of each family member closely   39  ours. This would be a good opportunity to   40  my children, so I explained their difficult  41  to my seven-year-old twins and three-year-old Meghan.
    “We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing,” I said, “we’ll   42  what we have with them.”
    I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously   43  the boys and I filled one box with canned food.
    While I   44__ our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and   45  some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched   46  as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
    “I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
    The boys placed the toys they had   47  to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll  48  tightly to her chest. She   49  in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a   50  kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.
    “Oh, honey,” I said. “You   51  to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”
    Meghan nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.   52  she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
    I stared at Meghan for a long moment,   53  how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
    It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but   54  to let go of things we cherish, isn’t it?   55 , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.

    Several years ago, we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to  36 about the noise. I could do  37 about it. After all, noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in  38 .
    Still  39 ,the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs, we laughed too often, we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many  40 to complain.
    Nobody can stand the endless complaints and quarrels. I soon learned that they had  41 the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to  42  every situation carefully.

    Of course, it was hard to keep calm but my sister and I  46 . I told my sister that we were going to be pleasant and  47 them to change their attitude to neighbors. I explained to her that they probably felt  48 in their lives because they are common people.   49 , they were always looking for a   50 to show their power so that nobody could look down upon them. I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them, much to their  51 .On more than one occasion(不止一次), I ended up  52 them. They thanked me before they left.
    Unexpectedly, the next time I saw them, they all smiled and  53 friendly. We had a short but pleasant  54 . Ever since then, they’ve been very pleasant neighbors, and we’ve become good  55 .

    Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.
    I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War. H. B. Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.
    Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twain’s novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twain’s most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums (贫民窟).” More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurences of the word nigger. (The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it.)
    But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.”
    There is much more. Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twain’s tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and, for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the master’s baby by his wife. The slave’s lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The master’s wife’s baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.
    The point was difficult to miss: nurture (养育), not nature, was the key to social status. The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech, for example— were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.
    Twain’s racial tone was not perfect. One is left uneasy, for example, by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自传) about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black-face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them. Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality. His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.
    Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present, we will find nothing but error. Lincoln, who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him. And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.
    小题1: How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?
    A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism.
    B．Twain’s attack on racism was much less open.
    C．Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots.
    D．Twain was openly concerned with racism.
    小题2:Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its ______.
    A．target readers at the bottom
    B．anti-slavery attitude
    C．rather impolite language
    D．frequent use of “nigger”
    小题3:What best proves Twain’s anti-slavery stand according to the author?
    A．Jim’s search for his family was described in detail.
    B．The slave’s voice was first heard in American novels.
    C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.
    D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.
    小题4:The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that ______.
    A．slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters
    B．slaves’ babies could pick up slave-holders’ way of speaking
    C．blacks’ social position was shaped by how they were brought up
    D．blacks were born with certain features of prejudice
    小题5:What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
    A．The attacks.B．Slavery and prejudice.
    C．White men.D．The shows.
    小题6:What does the author mainly argue for?
    A．Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.
    B．Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.
    C．Twain’s works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.
    D．Twain’s works should be read from a historical point of view.

    Today was a big day for my eldest son, Kevin. He had his first big boy haircut. Before today, we have always stood by his side, told the hairdresser what to do and watched over the whole thing. We’ve been working on the rewards (奖赏) of responsibility with my son for quite some time. Today, he got one of those rewards by having his own haircut.
    When they arrived at the shop, his father showed him a book with lots of styles of haircuts for boys. After he made his choice, he waited patiently for his turn. My husband decided he would get his own hair cut at the same time.
    When their names were called, Kevin showed the hairdresser the picture of his chosen haircut, which, thankfully, was not a strange haircut. The hairdresser looked to my husband for approval (批准) and he told her his son was in charge.
    During his haircut, Kevin talked happily with the hairdresser. My husband, who was getting his haircut in the next chair, kept silent. When all was said and done, Kevin looked quite handsome.
    When it was time to pay, he reached into his pocket and took out the cash my husband gave him. He handed it to her and said, “Thanks, it’s all yours.” I guess that’s the six-year-old equivalent (对应的语句) of “keep the change.”
    I have to admit I was a little nervous about the whole thing before, but I’m a believer now. My son is growing up and ready for new big boy experiences.
    小题1:When Kevin got his haircut, the author used to      .
    A．do her own thingB．leave him alone
    C．talk happily with her sonD．manage the whole thing
    小题2:What did the author’s husband do at the hairdresser’s?

    Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员), though-just an English teacher in Japan.
    I come to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
    I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
    Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
    The schools are unwilling to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
    小题1: From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in ________.
    A．TokyoB．a small town
    C．a city of middle sizeD．a big city
    小题2:According to the writer, one had better _______ first to do private teaching better.
    A．give a TEFL courseB．decide his or her own lessons
    C．find studentsD．build up a full schedule
    小题3:The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _______.
    A．there are many foreigners in Japan
    B．Japan is good for nightlife
    C．they can teach English privately in Japan
    D．Japan has something more attractive than expected
    小题4:After reading the passage, we can see _________.
    A．the writer travelled a lot and saved much money in Japan.
    B．the writer teaches English in more than one school as a part-time job.
    C．the writer enjoys watching football games
    D．the writer spent one year in finding students for his private teaching.
