| I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a 1 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 2 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids (孩子们) just thought I was 3 . I've always been glad about that. It was Christmas time, and although there wasn't 4 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 5 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 6 . They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 7 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 8 to share by all five of us. The big 9 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 10 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered (散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 11 back at the "Santa's Workshop". Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 12 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusuall y 13 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies-fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn't say anything 14 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 15 to be angry again. This is what she told me. "I was looking 16 thinking of what to buy, and I 17 to read the little cards on the'Giving Trees.' One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 18 for Christmas was a doll (玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 19 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn't have anything." I never felt so 20 as I did that day. | ||||

| In Britain, in a population of 60 million, there are 13 million grandparents, many of whom live alone a long way from their grandchildren.The loneliness of these older people has become an issue that schools are trying to teach children about. On a popular teacher's website, there is a classroom activity to help make children aware of the implications of the different generations of the same family living far from each other. It's a story about Mrs. Eiderdown, an elderly lady whose grandchildren have moved to Australia with their parents. She lives alone and rarely sees her family. First of all, the children speculate about Mrs. Eiderdown's life. What does she have for breakfast? what does she do all day?how does she feel about her life? One day, Mrs. Eiderdown decides that she wants a pet to keep her company and puts an advertisement in a local shop window. Then she waits at home to see if anyone will answer her advertisement. A tall thin man rings her doorbell. he is holding a cardboard box. Mrs. Eiderdown chats with the man for ten minutes before she realizes that she hasn't looked in-side the box to see what the pet is. She can hear a his-sing sound. The children guess what is in the box (a snake). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the man but says she doesn't think the snake is a good idea. The next time the doorbell rings, there's a lady on the doorstep, also carrying a cardboard box. In the bottom of the box, Mrs. Eiderdown sees something black and hairy with eight legs. Again, the children say what they think it is (a spider). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the lady for her kindness but says that a spider is not the sort of pet she has in mind. At last, the little girl next door brings her a dog.Mrs. Eiderdown's life improves a lot because of the dog. more importantly, of course, the little girl, whose own granny lives a long way away, starts to visit Mrs. Eiderdown more often. This interactive classroom idea has led to a greater awareness among children about the possible loneliness of older people who live quite near them. |
| 1. What's the main idea of the passage? |
| A. children get to know about the trouble of the elderly B. neighbors help select pets for Mrs. Eiderdown C. society helps the lonely people in the UK D. school send pets to the lonely elderly |
| 2. When Mrs. Eiderdown advertised for a pet, ________. |
| A. she was offered a frightening, hissing dog B. her neighbour's daughter gave her a lovely dog C. a thin woman wanted to give her a large spider D. a man brought her a snake and a spider in a box |
| 3. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean? |
| A. they talk about how she feels about being old B. they try to experience her loneliness C. they try to imagine how she lives D. they write about her life story |
| 4. What can we infer from the passage? |
| A. the little girl often visits her own granny B. the people who offer pets are lady's neighbors C. the farther the elderly live, the lonelier they feel D. the little girl begins to care more about Mrs. Eiderdown |

| It is natural for young people, at times, to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems, and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt, when young. For example, young people like doing things without careful consideration: it is one of their ways of showing that they can accept a challenge. Older people worry more easily: most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. So my advice to you is this: when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask in advance. Young people often annoy their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music and entertainers, or vocabulary, clothes and hairstyles annoy their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you don't obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did accept, it looks as if you are tricking your own age group. But in that case, you are supposing that you are the underdog: you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough, after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of the plan. You can impress others, especially parents, with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do. |
| 1. According to the passage, all the following complaints are true EXCEPT that ______. |
| A. parents have no sense of humor at all B. parents are always behind the times C. parents talk too much about certain problems D. parents don't believe their children can deal with crises |
| 2. What does the author suggest to young people to win support from their parents? |
| A. Ignoring them. B. Controlling them. C. Entertaining them. D. Cooperating with them. |
| 3. We can learn from the passage that ______. |
| A. young people are not allowed to join adult society because they have their own culture B. it is impossible for young people to get along well with older people C. older people tend to forget what they felt when they were young D. older people often lead the way in fashion |
| 4. The underlined word "underdog" in the 5th paragraph refers to a person who _____. |
| A. keeps dogs as pets B. seems less likely to succeed C. likes to cheat his own age group D. looks down upon others around him |

| John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks. Fortunately (幸运地) he had a strong-willed, caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him many times, "Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe." She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother. "You have to earn success," said she. "All the people who work hard don't succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard." These words came from a woman with less than a third-grade education.She worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough money to take her son-then 15-to Chicago. Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land (乐土) that black southerners were looking for. John's mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words-as an editor (编辑) of the newspaper at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks. While others discouraged him, John's mother offered him more words to live by: "Nothing beats a failure but a try." She also let him pawn (典当) her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine. It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother's words in mind: "Son, failure is not in your vocabulary." Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America. |
| 1. Why did John's mother decide to move to Chicago? Because _____. |
| A. life in Chicago would be better for the blacks than for the whites B. John's father died in his hometown when John was very young C. there were no high schools for the blacks in their hometown D. John needed education and he could go to school there |
| 2. The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means _____. |
| A. if you try, you will surely succeed B. a try is always followed by a failure C. only by trying can you get out of failure D. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you try |
| 3. We can learn from this passage that John's mother _____. |
| A. didn't depend on others or give up easily B. thought success only came from working hard C. thought one could be whatever one wanted to be D. believed one would succeed without working hard |
| 4. What can be inferred from this passage? |
| A. If someone wants to be successful,he should always stand firm. B. Chicago was the promised land for the whites in 1933. C. John's father died in an accident during the war. D. John's mother was caring for him. |

| Some vacation is just around the corner. One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It's great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there's never anything to do during the school holidays. The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 1 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless. Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 2 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you. 3 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That'll keep you busy for ages. At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret! Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them. 4 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it. So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you'll think of loads of more interesting things to do! |
| A. That's easy. B. Enjoy your own club! C. Invite a designer to join you. D. What are you interest in? E. Then you need to pick a name for your club. F. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. |
