         When you are little,  the whole world feels like a big playground.I was living in Conyers,  Georgia the
    summer it all happened.I was a second grader,  but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.
    Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
         It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement.As I opened the
    basement door,  before us lay the biggest room,  full of amazing things like guns,  dolls,  and old clothes.I
    ran downstairs,  and spotted a red steel can.It was paint.I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint
    in bright colors like purple,  orange,  blue and green.
         "Stephanie,  I just found us a project for the day.Get some paintbrushes.We are fixing to paint."She
    screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.We gathered
    all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.There on the road in front of my
    house,  we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道). Stripe by stripe,  our colors
    turned into a beautiful rainbow.It was fantastic!
         The sun was starting to sink.I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was
    my mother.I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from
    the look on my mother's face,  I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
         My mother shut the car door and walked towards me.Her eyes glaring,  she shouted,  "What in the
    world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,  and climbed the neighbors'
    trees,  but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,  angry because she
    had insulted(侮辱)my art.
         "Now go clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road.Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my
    beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
         Though years have now passed,  I still wonder where my rainbow has gone.I wonder if,  maybe when
    I get older,  I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of
    rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.


    1. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?

    A. To introduce Stephanie to her.
    B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.
    C. To put the materials back in the yard.
    D. To show his artwork to her.

    2. In his mother's eyes,  the writer________.

    A. was a born artist      
    B. always caused trouble
    C. was a problem solver  
    D. worked very hard

    3. The underlined word"rainbow"in the last paragraph refers to______.

    A. the rainbow in the sky
    B. the stripes on the pavement
    C. something imaginative and fun
    D. important lessons learned in childhood

    4. It can be learned from the passage that parents should______.

    A. encourage children to paint
    B. value friendship among children
    C. discover the hidden talent in children
    D. protect rather than destroy children's dreams

         I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely
    lined with bookshelves,  most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,  I grew
    up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives
    (观点)by creating worlds we could step into,  take part in and live in.
         With this unshakable belief,  I,  at fourteen,  decided to become a writer.Here too,  reading became
    useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,  but being unable to find the right
    ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers
    he agrees or disagrees with,  or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write
    without loving to read,  because only through reading other people's  writing can one discover what
    works,  what doesn't and,  in the end,  together with lots of practice,  what voice he has.
         Now I am in college,  and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction(文学作品). As
    a law student,  my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume(量)of what I have to read for
    classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer
    to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there
    is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,  all from the
    comfort of my own armchair,  to experience,  though secondhand,  exciting experiences that I wouldn't
    necessariy be able to have in my lifetime.

    1. What can be inferred about the author as a child?

    A. He never watched TV.
    B. He read what he had to.
    C. He found reading unbelievable.
    D. He considered reading part of his life.

    2. The underlined word"voice"in the second paragraph most probably means"________".

    A. an idea  
    B. a sound quality
    C. a way of writing  
    D. a world to write about

    3. What effect does reading have on the author?

    A. It helps him to realize his dream.
    B. It opens up a wider world for him.
    C. It makes his college life more interesting.
    D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

    4. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

    A. Why do I read?    
    B. How do I read?
    C. What do I read?  
    D. When do I read?

         I was in a rush as always,  but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for ! I
    found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for
    her groceries.A PhD student with not a lot of money,  I had hurried into the store to pick up some
    flowers.I was in a huge rush,  thinking of my upcoming evening.I did not want to be late for this date.
         We were in Boston,  a place not always known for small conversation between strangers.The
    woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me.She smiled.It was a nice smile-warm and
    reassuring-and I returned her_gift by smiling back.
         "Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,  "she said.
         "Yes,  she's special,  "I said,  and then to my embarrassment,  the words kept coming out."It's only
    our second date,  but somehow I am just having the feeling she's'the one.'"jokingly,  I added,  "The only
    problem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me."
         "Well,  I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is
    obviously in love with her."the woman said."My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even
    when times were tough and we didn't have much money.Those were incredible days;he was very
    romantic and-of course-I miss him since he's passed away."
         I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries.There was no doubt in my mind as I
    walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said,  "You were right,  you know.These flowers
    are indeed for a very special lady."I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice
    conversation.
         It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased."You have a
    wonderful evening."I said.I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the
    beautiful flowers.
         I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story.A couple
    of years later,  when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me,  she told me that this story
    had helped to seal it for her-that was the night that I won her heart.

    根据短文内容,  从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
             1    From 18-25, according to I. Q. scores;but you are wiser and more  experienced with
    increasing age.
         You are smartest in your 20's; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to
    perform mathematical computations.    2     Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example, is three times
    as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much
    information as it did at the age of 21.
             3   You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40
    to 49.
    Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come;over 30,  we believe that they
    are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we become more realistic and do
    not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals,
    happiness, we feel, will follow.
            4   Generally between 30 and 39,  but the peak(顶峰) varies with different professions.
    Mosart wrote a symphony (交响曲)  and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed his
    bestknown work A Midsummer Night's Dream, at 17, but most of the great music  was written by men
    between 33 and 39.
    Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late
    20's and 30's-creative people continue to produce work with high quality throughout their lives      5  

    A. When are you most creative (创造性的)?
    B. When are you happiest?
    C. When are you smartest?
    D. Do you know what I. Q. refers to?
    E. But your I. Q. for other tasks goes up.
    F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.
    G. For the "wellconditioned mind",   there is no upper  limit.

         Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years. It came sudden and went on for over three hours. After
    lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot,  but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started
    to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open
    window. As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall. When I come back into my house, it was
    raining more harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I
    ran out of my room to find out that had happened,  a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the
    backroom.
