When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students sneered(冷笑), the  36  nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only   37  can become writers, ” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term. ” I was so  38   that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short  39  poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my  40  , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and  41  writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They  42  . “Just plain dumb luck. ” the teacher said. I tasted  43  and I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was  44  with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of  45  , letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I   46  from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks(剪贴簿) filled with my published works. I  47   mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and  48  people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their   49  .
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. I wrote what I felt. It  50  nine months, just like a pregnant woman. I mailed it without a self addressed stamped  51  and without making a copy of the manu script.
A month later I received a(n)  52  , and a request to start working on another book. The worst year I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36, 000 dollars.   53  years I earned between five thousand and ten thousand. No, it isn’t enough to live  54  , but it’s still more than I’d make working part time. People ask what college I   55  , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None. ” I just write. I’m not a genius.

小题17:A名词辨析。A.协议; B.版本;C. 贸易; D. 专利权。根据后句and a request to start working on another book.可知编辑社要求他继续写书,所以应该寄来的是一份协议,故A选项正确。

Baroness Thatcher, Britain’s greatest post-war prime minister, died at the age of 87 after suffering a stroke (a disease related to blood vessels in the brain), her family announced on 8 April 2013. Her son, Sir Mark, and daughter Carol confirmed her death that morning.
Margaret Thatcher, daughter of a businessman and mayor of Grantham, was educated at the local grammar school, and at Oxford, where she got a degree in chemistry, and upon graduation she worked for four years as a research chemist. She then qualified as a lawyer in 1954.
As Miss Margaret Roberts, she stood twice in parliamentary (国会的) elections for the Conservative Party (保守党), before being elected (after her marriage) to the House of Commons in 1959.
When the Conservatives returned to office in June 1970, she was appointed secretary of state for education and science. After the Conservatives lost power in 1974, she was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet (内阁), and was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 1975.
Baroness Thatcher became prime minister on 4 May 1979 and went on to earn the nickname “the Iron Lady”, becoming known for her strong responses to the political and economic crisis, which Thatcher’s supporters think are good for Britain, while her opposers argue that her policies destroyed British manufacturing.

Yesterday I went to our local grocery store. I often go to their deli counter, and I understand that it can get a little confused for the workers. So normally none of them ever take the time to smile or seem overly friendly. But yesterday it was completely different. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a very welcoming smile by the young man behind the counter. He never sighed heavily or slumped back and forth like he didn’t want to be there. He was all by himself and quite a long line. But not once did he act concerned about it. He just did his job efficiently and acted very kind the entire time.
I was so impressed that I approached the manager. I explained to her that I often visit the deli counter and I have never been greeted with such kindness. She agreed with me that he was a wonderful person and she thanked me for sharing my feelings with her.
As I was walking away,I could hear her approaching the young man with,“I just got a wonderful compliment(praise) about you.” I couldn't hear everything she was saying,but I knew that she did thank him. I couldn't help but smile!
Later I had to pass by the deli counter to get onions. There was no one there,except the diligent young man. He didn't say anything,he just smiled at me. I realized that I hadn't done a huge deed that day,but that small deed made a small difference to someone.I love seeing people smile. I just received my smile cards and I wish I had one with me that day. Maybe I will drop one off at the deli a different day! It's amazing how good I felt after that.
So,friends,the next time you are in a grocery store,retail store,restaurant,or anywhere that someone is working hard,letting them know in some way can mean so much. I hope you get a smile out of it like I did!

My parents always raised me to have strong values and hold firm to my confidence in life, and this was never more proved than when a situation arose when it would be easy for most people to ignore it.
A gentleman at my father’s work smelled awful and neglected his behavior, and as the months went by, he showed signs of confusion. After being told to pick up papers at another building, he would be found sitting at his desk staring at his shoes; after being reminded (to which he would completely believe he hadn’t been told the first time), he would be found once again sitting at his desk in the same position. This happened to worsening degrees over a few months and his coworkers either ignored it or were ignorant to this due to a lack of social association with the man.
My father began to mentally record all of this and finally sat down with him one day when he was found two hours after work was out, sitting in his car, looking like he didn’t know where to go. Apparently the gentleman was in the beginning/middle stages of Alzheimer’s and there was someone who used his forgetfulness as a reason to ask him for money every few days. My father took this man to a hospital (for the first time in years) to be properly treated, and then got a caretaker to watch over his condition. He then went to the man’s house and helped him sort out all of his financial matters and get his retirement set up; they went to the bank and had a government worker ensure that his bills would be paid for and his children would no longer get to treat him like a personal ATM.
That my father took his much personal time to help another man that so many had forgotten or would choose to neglect, or even make fun of, truly shows his character.
小题1:The author presents this passage by ______.
A.telling an instructive storyB.describing his father
C.reasoning with some factsD.giving causes and effects
小题2:What can we infer from the passage?
A.The gentleman was ignored by his co-workers.
B.The gentleman was so serious that no one liked him.
C.The gentleman was good at communication with his co-workers.
D.The gentleman was in great need of help because of his illness.
小题3: In the eyes of the author, his father is ______.
A.hopefulB.strictC.stubbornD.helpful
小题4:Which proverb is suitable for the story?
A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B.A friend to all is a friend to none.
C.Friendship cannot stand always on one side.
D.False friends are worse than open enemies.

When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence   51  his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   52  who had a tennis court in his backyard.
