    Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sister. And day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in Mommy’s tummy(肚子).
    Everything was normal for Karen. But she had difficulty giving birth to the baby. Finally, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in serious condition and was sent to hospital at once. The days went by. The little girl got worse. The doctor told the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”
    Karen and her husband had fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby—now they planned a funeral. Michael, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister, “I want to sing to her,” he said.
    Karen knew if he didn’t see his sister now, he would never see her alive. She led Michael to his sister’s bedside. In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine; you make me happy when skies are gray…”
    Immediately the baby girl responded. Her breath became calm. “Keep on singing, Michael!” ‘You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away…” Tears ran down Karen’s face.
    Funeral plans were cancelled(取消). The next day, the little girl was well enough to go home! The doctors just called it a miracle(奇迹). Karen called it a miracle of God’s love!

    I was the youngest of five boys and also had four sisters who had to pull together and take care of each other. Dad wasn't around, so I never knew him well. He killed himself when I was three years old, leaving mom with the job of raising nine kids. She was a very hard worker, and in order to make ends meet, she hardly ever rested. With my mom as my example, I learned that hard work is the best way to get what you want.
    Even as a little boy, I knew I was going to be successful. Regardless of what I chose, I wanted to make my brothers, sisters and mom proud of me—not only by being successful in what I chose to do, but also as a person who could be looked up to for the right reasons.
    Surprising as it might seem, basketball wasn't in my plans. One day, my mom cut a rim(边缘) off an old water barrel(水桶) and then held it up for me to throw an old rubber ball through. By junior high, I started playing basketball on a team. I loved to compete. For me, it paid off. I always put the effort in, every day.
    I am grateful for the life I've enjoyed as a basketball star. Basketball is not life. It can be exciting. But the most important thing about basketball is that it gives me a way to do good things for others as I move through this journey called life.

    I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
    Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
    It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
    Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ （智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample （样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
    I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.
    小题1:According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______.
    A．sickB．upsetC．sleepyD．hungry
    小题2:What does the author think about Dr King?
    A．He is strict
    B．He is unkind
    C．He has the wrong idea
    D．He sets a timetable for mothers
    小题3:The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
    A．basicB．reliableC．surprisingD．interesting
    小题4:What does the research tell us about feeling a baby on demand?
    A．The baby will sleep well
    B．The baby will have its brain harmed
    C．The baby will have a low blood sugar level
    D．The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8
    小题5:The author supports feeling the baby_______.
    A．in the night
    B．every four hours
    C．whenever it wants food
    D．according to its blood sugar level

    It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which,    31  , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something    32  in the company should ever do.

    I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those   50  words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

    When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
    It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all my life; to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
    It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing(文字处理). This proved to be a bigger challenge(挑战) to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
    “Are you demanding this with your kindergarten pupils?” she said.
    “No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
    My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy(过敏反应). For as long as I remember, and time I called, my mother would answer, Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.
    小题1:What does the author do?
    A．She is a cook.
    B．She is a teacher.
    C．She is a housewife
    D．She is a computer engineer.
    小题2:The author decided to give her mother a computer__________.
    A．to let her have more chances to write letters
    B．to support her in doing her homework
    C．to help her through the bad times
    D．to make her life more enjoyable
    小题3:The author asked her mother to write her a letter__________.
    A．because her mother had stopped using the telephone
    B．because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother
    C．so that her mother could practice what she had learned
    D．so that her mother could be free from housework
    小题4:After the computer was brought home, the author’s father__________.
    A．lost interest in cooking
    B．took more phone calls

    In 1997, I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in: alone and begging for money in New York. My father had been separated from our family, and my mother had  recently died from complications related to AIDS. What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow.
    Even though I had lost my family,  I made choices every single day to turn my life around. There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door, a non－profit organization that provided me with guidance, medical care and food, all of which kept me going while I completed my homework in train stations and under hallway lights. Perhaps the most surprising　help though, I did not seek out﹔it found me.  The New York Times told my story. In the weeks　that followed, dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States. At my　high school, I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement. Strangers showed up　bearing clothes, books, and even hugs. Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard, one woman knitted a blanket for me.  She attached this note to the box it was posted in: "It gets cold in those dorms. May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you".
    With the help of these people, my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then. I graduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University.
    Before these people — some of them nameless— I just didn't realize how good people　could be. But now I do, and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me. They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers .They are the reason I dedicate my life to opening pathways for others. And they are the reason I travel around the　world helping people transform their own lives.
    小题1:According to the passage, the author______________.
    A．tried to change her life
    B．often slept m friends’ homes
    C．felt lonely because of her illness
    D．felt quite desperate for her father
    小题2:What can we learn about the Door?
    A．It helps the homeless teenagers.
    B．It is an organization seeking profits.
    C．It provides entertainment for children.
    D．It reports the stories about the homeless.
    小题3:The 3rd paragraph mainly tells about                       .
    A．how the author applies to Harvard
    B．how the author struggles for her ideal
    C．how The New York Times helps the author
    D．how people help the author in different ways
    小题4:Which of the following is the correct order to describe the author's life?
    a. The newspaper reported her story.
    b. She graduated from Harvard University.
    c. She slept on the cold floor at night.
    d. She joined the committee at the Door.           
    e. Her mother died from the illness.
    A．d→e→c→a→bB．e→c→d→a→b
    C．e→c→a→b→dD．b→c→d→e→a
    小题5:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
    A．Patience is a virtue.
    B．Love can be passed on.
    C．Time waits for no man.
    D．Honesty leads to success.

    I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I’d rather not be doing. I get stuff done, but it’s not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time.
    That’s why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter.
    Being a quitter isn’t being someone who gives up, who doesn’t see important things through to the end. I desire to be the opposite of that. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there’s no value in what he’s doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important.
    We get involved in something, realize we don’t want to be a part of it, but keep on going. We say “Well, I’ve already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out.” A friend of mine once told me, “I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it.” Odd though it sounds, we all tend to do this.
    I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. If you’re reading a book, and don’t like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?
    Step back for a second. Let’s learn how to say “no” at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we’d like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing.
    Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. But if we do both, we’ll start to make sure that we’re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let’s be quitters together.
    小题1:The author wants to be a quitter, because he/she        .
    A．wishes to have more time for relaxation
    B．hopes to improve his/her personality
    C．expects to make more efficient use of his/her time
    D．has found it hard to do several things at one time
    小题2:In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?
    A．When you know a task cannot be finished.
    B．When you feel tired and need a rest.
    C．When you meet with difficulties along the way.
    D．When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time.
    小题3:The message the author tries to convey is to        .
    A．learn to say noB．create more value
    C．live your life to the fullestD．stop doing many things at a time
