Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a  36 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was  37 ,I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got  38 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with  39 .
At one point along an open highway, I  40 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I  41 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to  42 , the only human being for at least a mile in any  43 .
I started  44 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being  45 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no  46 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I  47 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light  48 me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the  49 , but it’s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to  50 it: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more likely to be  51 from doing something bad by the social convention that  52 it than by any law against it.
It’s amazing that we ever  53 each other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too, Trust is our  54 preference.
I was so  55 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

I was in lodgings (寄宿处) now, on my own, but the other lodgers had constant visitors up and down the stairs past my door. None of this disturbed me except one girl who sang softly to herself an old Russian folk song as she ran up to the room above. It was a sound of sweetness, musical, soft, unselfconscious and happy. I began to listen out for it, jumped up from my table, and threw open the door to catch a glimpse(一瞥) of her as she passed, but I was always too late. I asked the people upstairs who she was, and described the beautiful sounds she made. They became rather reserved(拘谨) and exchanged glances and hurriedly admitted it might be Sally. I thought she was someone special, not to be discussed in the ordinary way, and became a little curious to meet her. But the last thing I wanted at that stage was to get caught up with anybody. I’d just come to the end of a rather painful friendship, and now I had work to do.
One day, I came face to face with a girl on the landing. It was certainly her; whoever made that noise would look as she did. We stood and stared at each other too long for comfort. I broke the moment and, excusing myself, moved past her because it was too like the movies. I thought for some time of that long, silent stare, and laughed. She was tall and looked proud, with a slight , round-shouldered look that made me breathless and I didn’t know why.
小题1:At his lodgings, the author __________.
A.seldom had visitors
B.wished he had more visitors
C.was always disturbed by other people’s visitors
D.had too many visitors.
小题2:Whenever the author heard the sound of the girl’s voice__________.
A.he sat listening to itB.he saw her moving upstairs
C.he threw down his booksD.he tried to see who it was
小题3:People who were asked about the girl__________.
A.told him all about herB.didn’t want to tell him much
C.didn’t tell him anythingD.were angry when he mentioned her
小题4:From this passage we can see that the author was____________.
A.was not interested in SallyB.curiously attracted by Sally
C.angry at being disturbed by SallyD.afraid to get to know Sally

I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I wasyounger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was goingto become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready toaccept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would notface that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two morechildren. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do Iknow about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!”I dont like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gaveme a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew,and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure outwhat kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother,Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the examplefor the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot oftime with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from myGranny:
Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had acookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with thecounter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older Ilearned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched,I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it downoff the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I didwhen I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jarand there were alwayscookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and thefirst thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s firstChristmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to seeme, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

Do you know that a Mom deserves a special gift this year for Mother’s Day? Sure, flowers can always brighten Mother’s day and a dinner out is always appreciated. However, doesn’t she deserve something more personal or something that lasts longer than an evening?
I’m talking about the gift of fitness. Improved fitness is a gift that is invaluable to everyone. When you give a woman the gift of fitness, you are helping her open a door to better health. I can’t think of a more thoughtful gift that shows the recipient(接受者) how much you care about their well-being. By giving the gift of fitness you are providing them with unlimited health benefits.

Researchers also believe that strength training can help prevent osteoporosis(骨质疏松). Not to mention that exercising also improves self-esteem, increases energy and helps you be able to do continuous work for longer.
All Moms would find these fitness benefits extremely invaluable. If they are like most of us, they have probably even mentioned how they would like to drop a few pounds or just get in better shape. In fact, experts say that about 62% of Americans are currently on a diet. By giving the gift of fitness you are helping provide your mom with extra motivation.

"But Ijust paid 1.69 for this bottle of wine last week.How is it that the price is 2.25?"
There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise.All haveto do with the supply and demand factors of economics.
The first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before.This demand formore wine has increased wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year.
The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which meansthat the same number of bottles is produced each year.Wine producers are trying to open upnew land to grow more grapes.But in at least three wine producing areas of the world-France,Germany, and California --- new vineyards(葡萄园)will not be useable in the near future.Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal, as well as Argentine,Australia, Austria, and Chile.And these wines will be seen more often on the American market.But none of these countries will be able to fill the good wines.
The third factor is that costs of wine production are soaring.The workers who make wineare asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming moreexpensive.
When the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up.When productioncosts, meaning the price of labor and machinery rise, the producer adds this increase to theprice of the wine.For these reasons, that bottle of wine now costs 2.25 instead of 1.69.
小题1:What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Every year people drink more wine.
B.Countries won't be able to fill the demand for good wines.
C.The prices of things go up when the demand for them is greater than the supply.
D.The supply of wine will always be less than demand.
小题2:This passage is written to      .
A.describe where wine is produced
B.persuade people drink more beer
C.explain why the price of wine is rising
D.describe why wine is a favorite drink to many Americans
小题3:Theunderlined word "soaring" means"___ .
A.adding quickly B.reducing fast
C.demanding badlyD.increasing fast

A morning rarely began so perfect. I took in the fresh air and felt my heart run into an enthusiastic rhythm. Though cool, the sun warmed my back as it rose over the horse from not far from my house. The slightest wind danced on my skin. Just enough to keep a runner form overheating. My ever-faithful jogging partner, a black dog named Nika pulled my leg with her mouth, mirroring my eagerness to start our run.
We raced forward with determination, ready to leap tall buildings and race against speeding trains. We pushed harder and ran faster, demonstration our skill and impressing passing motorists and neighbors.
We kept on running until we hit the Beast, a name for a very difficult, nearly two-mile long steep climb.
Only a few paces into the Beast, I gasped for air. Far short of superhero status, my enthusiasm and active steps were lost somewhere at the base of the hill. A vision of the newspaper and a cup of coffee waiting in my kitchen appeared, attracting me to turn back toward home.
With a glance I noticed Nika wasn’t doing any better. She continued to faithfully follow me, putting one paw in front of the other, but without her former eagerness. Her tiredness touched me. And in that moment, I felt a sudden spark of renewed determination to press on. I couldn’t allow this mountain to get the better of us. To improve both our spirits, I managed to shout, “Good girl, Nika! Keep going…you can do it!”
“I’m encouraging a dog, for heaven’s sake!’’ I needed to pull myself together. With a few simple words, I changed our course. One moment we were on the edge of quitting. The next, our feet picked up the pace and we continued. Though tired and discouraged myself, with a few kind words I impacted a dog’s ability to go further. I’m sure I could have completed the opposite with ill-chosen comments and an unpleasant tone. Instead, the Beast was defeated and we flew like heroes the rest of the way home.
Life is full of beasts to conquer. For some, it is the seemingly impossible climb of cancer. For others, their beast takes the shape of parenting a child or a teenager. Uphill climbs come in all shapes and sizes, common only in their ability to defeat, discourage and tempt tired travelers to quit. Sometimes all that’s needed is a few spoken, well-timed words of encouragement from a fellow runner – someone who sees the struggle, dares to jogs alongside, and cares enough to say, “Keep going! You can do it! You’re not alone. I believe in you!”
小题1: The writer starts the text by describing________.
A.the beautiful scene of the morning
B.his or her preparations for a jogging
C.a lively dog named Nika
D.the growth of crops at the farm
小题2: The writer mentioned the newspaper and coffee to suggest that he or she _______.
A.liked reading newspapers while drinking coffee
B.had an intention to give up running
C.would treat himself or herself to coffee after running
D.might appear on the newspaper for the long running
小题3: The writer decided to continue running _______.
A.after he or she found the dog was still energetic
B.because they came near the top of the hill
C.when he or she noticed the tired dog
D.before they arrived at the bottom of the hill
小题4: What does the writer expect to show by telling the story?
A.Words are powerful than deeds.
B.Beasts in life aren’t easily to conquer.
C.Dogs are the best friend of humans.
D.Try it one more time before giving up.

Years ago while lying in my hammock (吊床)and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence.Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor' s 10 - year - old daughter' s rabbit.For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard.I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower.Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural caused".
Back to the hammock and JD.Within the hour the neighbor' s Volvo palled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage.Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: " D - A - D - D – Y!!!"
Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage.Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father less than calmly shouted, "What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl's rabbit and put it back in its cage?"
小题1:The girl was shocked because _____.
A.the rabbit was killed by someone
B.the rabbit was too clean
C.the dead rabbit was cleaned and put back into the cage
D.the rabbit was asleep in the cage
小题2:That day the girl ran to the cage _____.
A.because her rabbit was there
B.because she.had a habit of going there to see her rabbit
