         Long ago in a small town, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors. A small, happy
    little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.
         When he arrived, he bounced (跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked
    through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise,
    he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a
    great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he
    thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often."
        In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the
    house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000
    little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "This is a horrible place, and I will never
    go back there again."
         All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see on the faces of the people
    you meet?  
    1. Why was the first dog surprised when he entered the house?

    C. Because he was always in a mixed mood.
    D. Because he saw so many dogs smiling at him.
    2. Why did the first dog like the house?
    A. Because there were 1,000 mirrors in the house.
    B. Because he thought he could keep himself warm in the house.

         It's easy to see how to help others, but what about those whose needs aren't so obvious? This story
    may have happened a while back, but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
    It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the poor. We stood behind
    the counter dishing out hot food to whoever came in. most of our dinners looked like they had been
    having hard times, their clothes old, worn and dry. In short, they looked poor!
         Then, a man came in, who looked anything but poor. He was well dressed, wearing an expensive suit.
    I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station, the more I muttered. What was this man doing? I wanted to
    know. Surely he wasn't gong to take food.
         Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, "You have assumed that the needs of the
    people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, inadequate shelter and needs are emotional?
    What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?" her words hit me like a ton
    of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man, but I didn't.
         About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source. I can't help but
    wonder if it came from that man.
         Now, whether I meet others, I remember my mother's words and try to send kindness and blessings
    to them, regardless of how they look.
         Needs aren't always visible. But kindness always makes a difference.
    1. The task of the author at the shelter was to_______.
    A. decide whether dinners looked poor      
    B. learn life experience there
    C. serve hot food to the poor                
    D. help parents order dishes
    2. When the man waited in line, how did the author feel?
    A. Surprised        
    B. Pitiful            
    C. Excited      
    D. Angry
    3. The author felt he should apologize to the man, because he_______.
    A. was asked to do so by his mother  
    B. gave the man food much less than others
    C. realized something was wrong with the man
    D. knew later that the man went there to donate
    4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
    A. We should show others kindness whatever their needs are  
    B. Some needs can't be known clearly at times
    C. Needs can always be met by kindness
    D. We should find out others' needs

    officially became a verb and drama queens (extremely emotional persons) finally found the attention when
    they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language.

        Other words first coming into the dictionary this year were soul patch (a small growth of beard under
    a man's lower lip), unibrow (two eyebrows joining together) and supersize - the fast food industry
    phrase for extra large meals.
        The technology world contributed ringtones (changeable incoming cellphone call signals) and spyware
    (software installed in a computer to track a user's activities) while biodiesel (生物柴油) and avian
    influenza(禽流感) came from the world of science.
    America's first dictionary-Noah Webster's A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language -was
    published 200 years ago and also introduced some fresh words that have now become familiar. Those
    "new" words in 1806 included slang, surf, psychology, naturally and Americanize.

    A. a mouse that lives by potatoes

    3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
    A. New words and phrases were introduced into the dictionary have close relationship with the time.
    B. New words and phrases chosen by the editors of the dictionary have been used in  
         written English somewhere.
