Samantha(her husband, John, called her Sam)left the doctor’s house looking perfect, satisfied with her appearance.

The year was 1862. It seemed that the war with the North would never come to an end. Sam’s father had left as soon as possible, fighting for their land, for their new government, for the South.

At last, Samantha reached the house that she and John owned. It was a cold, rainy night, and she was glad to be home. She stepped into the sitting room. John sat in an armchair, reading a book. When he saw her, he put the book down, and stood, reaching his arms out for her. They kissed briefly. He put a hand to her now slightly round belly(肚子) and asked, “What did the doctor say?”

“He said the baby was fine and that I seemed healthy. Do you have any news?”

“Surprisingly, yes.” John hesitated for a moment, as if deciding how he would stop what he was about to say, and then unwillingly continued, “I’ve been required to join the army.”

Sam screamed, “What?” She was near tears. “But-but we’re just starting out.” Her voice shook. “I thought that after two years of begging my mother to let the two of us get married that our life would finally be happy. Isn’t there any way you can get out of this?”

John answered, “I’m afraid not.”

“Please. Please, John, if you love me, please get out of this. Break a leg or do something.” She began to cry. John comforted her, resting her head on his shoulder.

“Sam.”

“What?”

“Name the child after me; name it John or Joanna. I’ll come back as soon as I can. I promise.”

Sam smiled, knowing that John never broke a promise. She put her hand to her belly, and, unknown to her, the baby was a girl.

And unknown to both of them, the promise that John had just made would be the only promise he would ever break.

A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house.

A

Many years ago, Dr Cronin occasionally wrote an unusual treatment for some of his patients who were feeling down. He would insist that for six weeks the pa­tients say "Thank you" for every kindness and he had a great cure rate.

Everyone gets down at times, and sharpening your sense of gratitude(感激)can make a difference. I have observed again and again that people's hap­piness is not usually found in getting what they want; it comes from apprecia­ting what they have.

Writer Arthur Gordon used to tell about asking a doctor friend for the name of the most effective treatment he knew. "Well, I'll tell you," his friend said. "A colleague of mine once had a woman patient who suffered from de­pression. The usual prescription didn't seem to help."

One day this doctor sent a small package to the woman's home. "I want you to take what's in this package," he said, "and spend ten minutes every­day looking through it at some objects in this room.，，

In the package there was a magnifying glass(放大镜).She began looking at her sofa. She was amazed at what she saw. Then she examined a flower picked from her garden and even her own skin. She was amazed at the brand new world opening up before her eyes.

As this woman gazed at her world through a magnifying glass, she saw, in a completely different way, what had been around her all along. Her sense of wonder gave way to another more powerful emotion―gratitude. The doctor said that her experience with the glass was the turning point of her illness. She began to appreciate what she had and get well.

Do you practise gratitude? 1 think you'll discover that it is a great way to keep happy.

1.Why does the author mention Dr Cronin in the beginning?

    A.     To show that Dr Cronin was a great doctor.

B.     To introduce what the author wants to talk about.

C.     To introduce some good ways of recovering from illness.

D.     To show his attitude towards Dr Cronin's unusual treatment.

2.According to the passage, the woman was required to_________________ .

   A.     play with her furniture as often as she could

B.     look at the world through a magnifying glass

C.     look for some objects she had lost in her house

D.     spend ten minutes taking exercise every day

3.What did the doctor probably want the woman to understand?

   A.     Happiness comes from appreciating what we have.

B.     Our life will be ruined if we are too careful.

C.     The magnifying glass will open a brand new world to us.

D.     Our life will become colourful with the help of the magnifying glass.

4. What does the underlined word " prescription" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Paper.             B. Plan.             C.  Treatment.      D. Award

5. According to the passage, practising gratitude is a good way of

A.   calming down ourselves                 B. living a richer life

C.  curing some deadly diseases             D. curing some mental problems

What’s the coolest of transportation(交通工具）for middle school students back from

the winter holidays? A racing bike? A car? No, it’s a special (56)k_of    shoes

called heelys(暴走鞋）.Heelys just look like common (57)s_shoes,but they have

a wheel hidden in the heel(鞋跟）• So instead of (58)w_,kids can “Fly” around

 in them.“Wearing heelys is fun and (59)c_，” said Wu Peng, A boy who write them

on his (60)f_day back at No. 6 Middle School in Beijing. Wu Peng said he loves

the shoes so much that he wears them wherever he goes. Sometimes he even

(61 )f_his parents’ car to the supermarket on his heelys!

Other students think these are very cool，（62)b_some    haven’t    been    so    lucky

with their heelys. It’s reported that some (63)c_have fallen down while using

these shoes，and some have been hurt.

“Heelys wheels are on the heels of the shoes，so it’s (64)e_to  fall,"

said  Liu Rui，a doctor at the hong Kong International Medical Clinic, Beijing. Even

(65)w_,Liu said,  Wearing heelys for a long time could stop young people from

developing their ankles(脚裸）and legs. ”

 What invention could you not live without? A few years ago, a survey asked adults(成人) and teenagers to choose which of five things they "couldn't live without". The choices were the microwave oven(微波炉)， cell phone， personal computer, car,and toothbrush (牙刷).Believe it or not，the toothbrush got the first place. Nearly half the adults and one-third of the teenagers said they could not live without a toothbrush.

  I guess when you think about ways people cleaned their teeth before toothbrushes were invented, you might not want to live without your toothbrush，either. Would you want to chew (口且嚼)on a stick or bird feather(羽毛)？How about cleaning your teeth with a stick and salt?

  We can thank William Addis for the first mass-produced toothbrushes. Addis took a bone and made small holes in it. He tied some bristles(刷子毛)together and put them into the holes he had made in the bone. He began selling these around the year 1780 in England. Soon he became a rich man.

The story happened in a street in an English town. A policeman stops a car. In the car there is a visitor from another country.

Policeman (holding up his hand): Stop!

Visitor (in car): What’s the matter?

Policeman: Why are you driving on the right side of the road?

Visitor: Do you want me to drive on the wrong side?

Policeman: You are driving on the wrong side.

Visitor: But you said that I was driving on the right side.

Policeman: That’s right. You’re on the right. And that’s wrong.

Visitor: A strange country! If right is wrong, I’m right when I’m on the wrong side. So why did you stop me?

Policeman: My dear sir, you must keep to the left. The right side is the left.

Visitor: It’s like a looking-glass. I’ll try to remember. Well, I want to go to Bellwood. Will you kindly tell me the way?

Policeman: Certainly. At the end of this road, turn left.

Visitor: Now let me think. Turn left! In England left is right, and right is wrong. Am I right?

Policeman: You’ll be right if you turn left. But if you turn right, you will be wrong.

Visitor: Thank you. It’s as clear as daylight.

Tom did not 5 painting. “Work? Oh, no, Ben. You see, painting is an 6 .First you must choose the right day, then you must get the best paint and brush. But most important of all, you must have the right 7. Aunt Polly says that there isn’t a boy in town 8 can paint this fence like me!”

Ben’s eyes opened wider. “Really, Tom? Let me try a 9.”

“Oh that isn’t possible ,” said Tom. “My Aunt Polly is very sure of the 10 she wants her fence painted．Remember, she chose me.”

“Come on, Tom, I’ll give you half my apple if you let me paint,” Ben 11 “Your aunt will never know the 12!”

“Oh, you’re wrong about that, Ben,” answered Tom. “She has very good  13. And think how I would feel 14  all,” she asked me to paint her fence.

“You may have my whole apple,” Ben said．“Give me the paint brush now.”

“Well, if you really think you can do it—here, 15 the brush but be very careful the way you paint.” Tom took a 16 into the red apple.
