    One cold rainy evening last October, as a medical student, I was in a hospital, gathering data
    for my graduation paper.
    Holding a patient questionnaire   34  some simple yes-or-no questions, I walked towards a 43-year-old patient who lay in bed alone. I was worried whether she would approve of my demands at such a late hour.   35 , she treated it with consideration. Soon I finished and prepared to leave.   36  I could stand up, she spoke up in a weak voice asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.
    Then she started talking about herself as well as her   37 , "My husband died about a year ago,   38  me the only breadwinner of my family. My pay as a cleaner is   39  enough for me and my three kids. I don't know what my children would be if something bad happened to me."
    I didn't know what to say. I desperately tried to remember the lessons from a communication skills class I had taken years earlier, but my mind was  40.
    Without realizing it, I had begun   41  her hand. Now that I didn't have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That's when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any 42 from me. She   43  wanted me to listen. All 1 did was nod my head as a way of showing my 44.
    The conversation went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, she stopped talking. "I'm very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel   45  now. I had no one to   46 out my problems to. Thank you so much, doctor."
    Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology.   47 , they just need someone with the   48  to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient, doesn't it?

    I was 230 pounds this spring and I decided to get down to a healthier 200.In a house full of food，including snacks bought for my 7­year­old sons，I had a hard time cutting calories. Then I noticed my neighbors were having diet meals (减肥餐)．I decided to do the same，knowing I would never be able to stick to a diet if I had to do the buying and cooking myself. I was looking for food that I could afford but I might take a diet more seriously if it hurt me in the wallet.
    After online searches，I decided to compare the offerings of four companies：Zone Manhattan，Chefs Diet，Nu­Kitchen and eDiets. All four would send the meals to my door. Three send food daily，while eDiets sends a large package once a week. There were dozens of companies I could have chosen.Research suggests that the economic crisis has made diet programs less tempting.Consumers prefer do­it­yourself diets with foods bought from the supermarket.
    Nu­Kitchen regards itself as the “personal chef”．I ordered the five­day plan ($230.53) and the taste was disappointing. I neither lost nor gained weight on the food.
    eDiets promises “healthy，delicious meals sent to your door”．I ordered five breakfasts，five lunches and five dinners. My total cost was $119.70，or less than $25 a day. Overall，the food from eDiets was better than that from Nu­Kitchen.
    Chefs Diet charged $380.99 for seven days，making it the most expensive of the four services.I never tasted anything terrible，but I never tasted anything that made me want to renew for a second week.
    Zone Manhattan charged $349.80，with tax，for a week’s supply of food，or about $50 a day.I liked the food so much that I lost six pounds in the first four days on the diet.
    小题1:When the author began to have diet meals，she________.
    A．was 200 pounds
    B．didn’t have any children
    C．worked as a cook in a company offering diet meals
    D．didn’t believe she could stick to a diet if she had to cook herself
    小题2:What does the underlined word “tempting” in Paragraph 2 mean?
    A．Attractive. B．Expensive.C．Delicious. D．Useful.
    小题3:Which of the four companies’ food cost the least daily?
    A．Zone Manhattan’s. B．Chefs Diet’s.
    C．Nu­Kitchen’s. D．eDiets’．
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that________.
    A．the author gained weight on the food from Nu­kitchen
    B．the author would choose the food of Zone Manhattan
    C．the food from eDiets was the worst of the four
    D．Zone Manhattan sends food once a week

    I passed all the other courses that I took at my university, but I could have never passed botany. This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells, and I could never once see a cell through a microscope. This used to make my professor angry. He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the structure of flower cells, until he came to me. I would just be standing there. “I can’t see anything,”I would say. He would begin patiently enough, explaining how anybody can see through a microscope, but he would always end up angrily, claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldn’t. “It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway.”I used to tell him.“We are not concerned with beauty in this course,”he would say.“We are concerned with the structure of flowers.” “Well,” I’d say.“I can’t see anything.” “Try it just once again,” he’d say, and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all, except now and again something unclear and milky. “You were supposed to see a clear, moving plant cells shaped like clocks.” “I see what looks like a lot of milk.” I would tell him. This, he claimed, was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly, so he would readjust it for me, or rather, for himself. And I would look again and see milk.
    I failed to pass botany that year, and had to wait a year and try again, or I couldn’t graduate. The next term the same professor was eager to explain cell-structure again to his classes. “Well,”he said to me, happily, “we’re going to see cells this time, aren’t we?” “Yes,sir,” I said. Students to the right of me and to the left of me and in front of me were seeing cells; what’s more, they were . Of course, I didn’t see anything.
    So the professor and I tried with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only once did I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, something like stars. These I hurriedly drew. The professor, noting my activity, came to me, a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing. “What’s that?”he asked.“That’s what I saw,”I said.“You didn’t, you didn’t, you didn’t!”he screamed, losing control of himself immediately, and he bent over and looked into the microscope. He raised his head suddenly. “That’s your eye!”he shouted.“You’ve adjusted the microscope so that it reflects!You’re drawn your eye!”
    小题1:Why couldn’t the writer see the flower cells through the microscope?     .
    A．Because he had poor eyesight
    B．Because the microscope didn’t work properly
    C．Because he was not able to adjust the microscope properly
    D．Because he was just playing jokes on his professor by pretending not to have seen it
    小题2:What does the writer mean by “his eyebrows high in hope”in the last paragraph?
    A．His professor expected him to have seen the cells and drawn the picture of them
    B．His professor hoped he could perform his task with attention
    C．His professor wished him to learn how to draw pictures
    D．His professor looked forward to seeing all his students finish their drawings
    小题3:What is the thing like stars that the writer saw in the last paragraph?
    A．Real starsB．His own eye
    C．Something unknownD．Milk
    小题4:In what writing style did the writer write the passage?
    A．Realistic B．RomanticC．SeriousD．Humorous

    Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
    My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
    I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
    Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
    Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”
    小题1:The best title for the passage would be _________.
    A．Touched by the Moon
    B．The Pleasures of Modern Life
    C．A Bottomless well of Silence
    D．Break away from Modern life
    小题2:The writer felt sorry for himself because __________.
    A．there was too much pollution.
    B．he failed to see the fullest moon.
    C．he didn’t adapt to modern inventions
    D．there were too many accidents on the road.
    小题3:What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
    A．No modern equipment.B．Complete silence.
    C．The nice moon.D．The high mountain.
    小题4:Modern things are mentioned mainly to ___________.
    A．show that the writer likes city life very much.
    B．tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.
    C．explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.
    D．show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.
    小题5:The author wrote the passage to __________.
    A．express the feeling of returning to nature.
    B．show the love for the moonlight.
    C．advise modern people to learn to live.
    D．want to communicate longing for modern life.

    Last Friday my brother and I were driving home together after doing some shopping and gave our attention to an interesting conversation. Because of this distraction (分心)my brother took a wrong turn.
    Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
    We eventually reached an exit and, as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow pulled over to the side of the road. He came out of his car and tried to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we would go next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off.
    My brother gave him a wrench, and then began to help him change the flat. The young man said that this had been a bad week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along.
    After we finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out $20 from his pocket and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge,we took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.” 
    What I loved most was that my brother was able to see a chance to help. His reaction in the situation is a lesson for everyone and we felt so good the rest of the day.
    小题1:When did the author and his brother notice the young man who had a flat tire?
    A．Before they arrived at a bridge.
    B．When they were passing through an exit.

    小题2:We can learn from the text that the writer’s brother ________.
    A．didn’t know the roads well
    B．was a warm-hearted young man
    C．made the turn to help the young man
    D．regretted making a wrong turn all the way home
    小题3:What did the young man mean by calling the writer and his brother “a breath of fresh air” ?
    A．He had been in the hot sun waiting for help for so long.
    B．His car’s air conditioner was broken.
    C．They calmed him down by offering him a cold drink.
    D．They changed his bad luck and the bad mood he was in.

    My bike was a three-speed English “racer”, purchased during my second year in college in November 1964 for $44. Most of the money was earned by myself in my spare time, but I had to get my mother to help me out a little. At that time, bikes were rare on a college campus. My reason for getting a bicycle was a little strange. A friend of mine convinced me to take a summer job selling door-to-door and suggested that I should use a bicycle to travel between houses. The job didn’t work out, but the idea was in my brain.
    That fall, I borrowed another student’s bike and rode 45 miles on the first day, but his bike soon had a flat(瘪了的轮胎) which he didn’t like fixing. So I had to buy one. I immediately started using mine almost every day. Before getting the bike, I sometimes walked 28 miles to my parents’ house. Now the bike gave me a quicker method, but my first trip took four hours due to strong headwinds that had me fight for every foot. Once I made a trip of 100 miles in one day. I decided to use the bike to go camping in the Smokies. During the trip, I recognized the need for handlebars and more gears, so I bought a ten-speed after just one year though I loved this bike.
    The first bike “hung around” for a couple of years, and then I gave it to my sister’s kids who let it become part of their lives.
    小题1:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．His mother gave him some money when he bought the first bike.
    B．The first bike was a gift from his mother.
    C．He bought the first bike for racing.
    D．He wanted to buy a bike because all his classmates had one.
    小题2:We can infer that besides studying at college the writer ____.
    A．often helped his friend do business
    B．also worked in a factory
    C．had part-time jobs in his spare time
    D．had to make money to pay for his tuition
    小题3:The underlined phrase “the idea” in the first paragraph refers to “____”.
    A．selling door-to-door
    B．buying a bike of his own
    C．borrowing a bike from others
    D．earning money by working
    小题4:According to the passage, we can learn that the first bike was ____ for him.
    A．unnecessaryB．very useful
    C．a lifelong toolD．too troublesome
