We all have storms through our lives. But we have no right to make everyone else suffer with our own   31 .
The carpenter I   32  to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a(n)   33  first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his truck   34  to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony   35  .
On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused   36   at a small tree,   37  tips of the branches with both hands.
When opening the door, he underwent a(n)   38  transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles, and he   39   his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
The next day my   40  drove me to ask him about what I had seen. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied. “I know I can’t   41  having troubles on the job, but the troubles don’t   42  to the house with my family. So I just   43  them up on the tree. Then in the morning I pick them up again.”
  44  thing is,” he smiled, “when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren’t nearly as   45  as I remember the night before.”
Putting   46  around our problems is a really good idea --- it prevents our difficulties from spilling over onto loved people, who can’t do anything about our problems. Why   47  them if they can’t help us?
So, plant yourself a trouble tree outside and use it   48   you come home. Be grateful that you have loved ones to go home to    49  your loved one is simply your beloved dog. And when you picked up your troubles on the way each morning, be   50  that they’re not as heavy as they were the night before.

One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He 18 it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m 19 a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”  
“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. 20 at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his  21 any more. I want you to build me a 8-foot 22. ” 
The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you  23” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening, the carpenter had just  24 his job when the elder brother returned. But he was  25 to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a 2 6, which went from one side of the river  27 the other! On the other 28 of bridge, was his younger brother.

“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and 30,” the carpenter smiled.
Suddenly they began to understand  31. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a 32. Standing on the bridge, they 33each other’s hands with 34  in their eyes. 
“Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to 35 on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”

When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail,I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件)a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products,individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法)against spare. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
小题1:What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph l probably mean?
A.messagesB.ideasC.connectionsD.programs
小题2:According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?
A.Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B.More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C.Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D.More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
小题3:According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?
A.The business.B.The advertiser.C.The employee.D.The consumer.
小题4:What is the purpose of the text?
A.To inform.B.To educate.C.To persuade.D.To instruct.

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue   1 . One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet (小鹦鹉)on my finger, I wanted to show Perky what the sky looked like. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my horror , Perky flew off. The enormous, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue  2   and suddenly he had gone, clipped wings and all. 
I told Kathy about Perky's disappearance and I was anxious that she would blame me. But , unexpectedly, Kathy managed to   3  me. With fake optimism, she even tried to convince me that Perky would find a new    4   . But I was far too clever to   5   that such a thing was possible.

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.

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
C.played more games
D.began to use it
