    Help or Not
    Dear editor,
    During last year's winter holiday, I went shopping with my grandmother. We saw several beggars. Some of them were disabled, which made me feel sad. Among them were old people, young people and even children! When I wanted to help them, my grandmother stopped me. She told me they were not worth showing mercy to because some beggars cheated people out of their money. Should I help them?
    Yours,
    Mary from Guangzhou
    Dear Mary,
    While I understand your grandmother’s point of view, I think that just because some beggars have cheated people, this doesn’t mean you should never help any beggars.
    Showing mercy to people who are not as fortunate as us is one of the kindest things we can do. While some beggars may use dishonest means to get money, most beggars will not. Even those who use dishonest means are probably hungry for food and feel they have no choice but to cheat people. It is important to be careful for your own safety. But if you want to help, you don’t necessarily have to give it to beggars in the street.
    Another way you can help is by donating money to the China Charity Federation. Visit its website at: www. china charity. cn.net.
    18.From the grandmother’s point of view, we can learn that ________.
    A. she has never helped the beggars.    
    B. she believes not all beggars are honest
    C. she has surely been cheated by some beggars  
    D. she shows no pity for the poor
    19. Mary felt sad for _______.
    A. her grandmother                                                 B. the disabled beggars 
    C. the old people                                              D. herself
    20. The editor suggests that Mary should _______.
    A. have her own mind                                      B. follow her grandmother
    C. do something for those unfortunate                D. help the China Charity Federation
    21. The underlined word “donating” probably means _______.
    A. give out of kindness                                     B. put into a business
    C. earn through an organization                         D. give in return for some kindness

    小题1:B
    小题2:B
    小题3:C
    小题4:A

    对一些乞丐是否帮助？本文作者和编辑的回答将给你个满意答复。
    小题1:细节理解题。Mary的祖母阻止她可怜乞丐因为有些乞丐具有欺骗行为，符合题目部分否定所表示的意义。
    小题2:细节理解题。从原文“Some of them were disabled, which made me feel sad.”可以得出答案。
    小题3:推理判断题。编辑在回信中建议Mary应该对那些不幸者给予援助。本题易误选D。
    小题4:词义理解题。从回信的最后不难推出，单词的意义是“捐赠”。

    My Forever Valentine我永远的“情人”
    Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought   1  him as my “Valentine man”.
    My first recollection of the   2  he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was   3  “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to   4  my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is   5  difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember   6  that ring with pride that all the cards in the world   7  not surpass (超越).
      8  I grew older, the gifts gave   9  to heart-shaped boxes filled with my   10__  chocolate and always included a   11  card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became   12  of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less   13 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would   14  be there. I had   15  my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite   16 .
    His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a   17  of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a   18_       of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
    Those things never   19 , nor does the memory of a man who never   20  being my Valentine.

    One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that ,”and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong ,and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago .He told me he had been the manager of a cartons (纸箱).Then he talk of an incident and I began to remember the incident he was describing.
    I was about eight years old at the time , and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
    There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the pile of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the cartons back together, so I went to work.
    The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as if I was the person who was to blame .He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for those broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, but the manager did not.

    Sherlock Holmes is considered by many people as the greatest detective in fictional literature. He is, in fact, more famous than his own creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the popular series of stories, Holmes is described as “tall and lean, pope-smoking, always in his cape and speaks in a splendid manner”. Doyle gave Holmes’ address as 221-B Baker Street, London, and to this day some visitors to London still go to Baker Street to search for 221-B. Of course, there never was really any such address. Holmes’ flat was supposed to be shared by the lovable, but sometimes clumsy Doctor Watson who went around with Holmes trying to solve crimes before Holmes did. Poor Dr Watson lost out to Holmes every time.
    Doyle gave Holmes a masterly skill of deduction---the ability to come up with interesting conclusion from the simplest clues found at the scene of a crime. Doyle said that the description of Holmes was modeled on one of his lecturers at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine. That man was Dr Joseph Bell. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet published in 1887. Holmes was so loved by all that when his author killed him off in one of his stories, readers wrote in anger to complain. They refused to allow Holmes to die! Holmes was brought back to “life” and appeared in further stories.  
    The stories of Sherlock Holmes have been reprinted many times ever since then. Today we can watch Holmes at work on cinema and television screens as well as on stage.
    小题1:Sherlock Holmes was________.
    A．the greatest detective who ever lived
    B．Dr Joseph Bell
    C．Arthur Conan Doyle
    D．only a character made up by Arthur Conan Dolye
    小题2:Dr Watson was________.
    A．tall and learn
    B．lovable but always clumsy
    C．lovable but sometimes clumsy
    D．lovable and never clumsy
    小题3:Holmes was supposed to have lived_______.
    A．with Dr WatsonB．with Dr Joseph Bell
    C．with the greatest detectiveD．with Doyle
    小题4:Doyle made up the description of Holmes_______.
    A．from his own imagination
    B．based on a famous London doctor
    C．based on Dr Joseph Bell at Edinburgh University
    D．based on a model of Holmes
