| I was driving around downtown (市中心) one afternoon in the winter. I 1 a red light and stopped. As I was 2 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was 3 in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some 4 on it. When you're in the heart of downtown, it's pretty 5 to see homeless people asking for 6 . Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I 7 . I can't remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like:" 8 money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps." I didn't know why, but for some 9 this particular sign struck me. The 10 had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. I went back and forth in my 11 a hundred times in that next 12 about whether I should do something. "Should I help? 13 on? Should I do something?" I didn't. I did nothing. The traffic moved 14 , and I went with it. About a block or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy. I felt so 15 for him. So, I decided to go back and ask him 16 I could buy him lunch and hear his story. It took me about five minutes to 17 and back on to the same street where I had seen him. It was just five minutes-but he was 18 . "Where did he go so fast?" I wondered. So, there was 19 left to do except drive on. If you get a special nudge (想做的事) from inside you, 20 consider acting on it. Don't miss out-for yourself and for that other person. | ||||

| "Son!" Tim's father shouted, "Is it possible for you to turn that noise down!?" "Sorry dad, but I love to play it loud because it makes me happy!" Tim replied while driving. He had bought the car a week before he got his driver's license. The old car was all he could afford with the money he'd earned since he was 14 mowing lawns (修草坪) in his neighborhood. "Tim", his father asked again with that same worried look Tim was used to seeing, "What makes you happy by listening to that screaming (尖声的) guitar and what's the name of that trash?" "The song is called 'Happy'." "All I hear is that noisy guitar." "You never listen long enough to hear the words!" They continued arguing. As Tim neared the bend in the narrow road leading to their home, a new red sports car was out of control. Tim madly tried to turn to the right but the red car hit the driver's side of Tim's car very quickly. Tim's father saw Tim's face was covered in blood. The driver of the red sports car ran near. "Sir, I'm sorry! Here's my phone!" the young man shouted with a strong smell of beer on his breath. Tim was taken to the hospital. As Tim's mother arrived, she and her husband cried with fear uncontrollably. Then the doctor asked them to come to a private room. "Your son asked that if he died, I'd promise to tell his dad something. Sir, he asked me to tell you to please listen long enough to hear the words." Two weeks after Tim's burial (葬礼), his father opened the door of the car that he simply could not bear to sell. He turned Tim's favorite song up loudly and listened until he heard the words."I'm so happy; I'm so grateful." He knew what Tim had been trying to tell him for so many years. Tearfully he read the words:"A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but sadness destroys the spirit." |

| You hear a rumor (谣言) from a friend, who heard it from another friend, who read it on a note passed in math class, which was written by somebody who probably just made it up. Chances are, rumors are always spreading around your school. Sometimes it can be very hurtful. But why do people still do so? When people are feeling bad about themselves, they sometimes think they'll feel better if there were someone worse off than they are. It's okay being near the bottom, as long as they're not actually on the bottom. The easiest way for them to make sure someone else is on the bottom is to make up a rumor that puts him or her there. If everybody else is spreading rumors, you might feel you have to do the same thing in order to fit in. Unfortunately, the person who the gossip or rumor is about is usually left out of the group for the same reason that you're let into it. When you know a secret that nobody knows, or are the first person in your group to hear a rumor, it can make you the center of attention. A rumor or piece of gossip is sometimes like money; telling it to people is like buying their attention. Certain people always want to be at the top of the ladder (梯子). You probably know at least one person who wishes to be the leader, say what goes, and make all the decisions. One way they do this is by reducing (降低) the status (地位) of another person. Spreading rumors and gossip is one way people reduce another person's status. Sometimes, a period when everyone is happy and getting along just seems kind of dull. Spreading rumors might get two people to start a fight, and that would make life a little more exciting. All those newspapers and TV shows full of gossip about famous people are proving that rumors are a popular form of entertainment. |
| 1. We know from Paragraph 2 that some people spread rumors to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. be more confident B. feel like part of a group C. attract attention D. be more powerful |
| 2. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 may mean some people _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. love looking down from a high position B. hope to become leaders C. are not afraid of falling down D. are fond of spreading rumors |
| 3. What do we know from the last paragraph? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Famous people like spreading rumors. B. Rumors can make people feel bored. C. Some people seek excitement from rumors. D. There are many rumors in newspapers. |

| Mama and Daddy loved having the family together on Christmas. They spent days making candy and cookies, preparing gifts and decorating. Forty-four years together made them a great team. But with Mama's unexpected death in the spring, we now faced our first Christmas without her. The holidays would be especially hard for Daddy. We tried to comfort him. We would all be with him on Christmas as usual. On Christmas Eve a small snow turned to a heavy one, covering our yard and 150-foot driveway, as well as the access road (干道的支路). We started cleaning, but the snow was falling faster than we could keep up. The weatherman predicted the storm would continue through the night. Church services were also canceled. "We'll be there as soon as possible in the morning," I told Daddy on the phone. But inside I wondered how. Early Christmas morning we began digging through stomach-high snow. We finished the driveway, but seeing the mountains of snow on the access road, we admitted failure. As I stared at the access road, I heard the sound of a snowblower. Lord, please help us get to Daddy today, I prayed. The sound of the snowblower grew louder. I looked up. There, coming straight toward us was a big yellow machine with a huge plow (犁) effortlessly clearing a path through the snow-packed road. I stared in disbelief. Never in our 18 years here had the snow been plowed on this road. The driver of the snowblower sat up straight at the wheel and was warmly dressed, collar (衣领) up, cap down-and wings beneath his coat, I'm sure. |

| You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unfortunately, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience. As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether or not it is "easy" reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? These latter situations are a chance to learn from the writer's mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how an author does "his thing"... he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing (分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole. Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer (消费者) rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic (基本的) level, however, nothing is more suitable than your devotion to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺). As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer. | ||||||||
