         The old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched(打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that shone like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a
    steady smile.
         He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, "Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair."
      Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table.
    Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated.
    Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.
         In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss."
         "You are welcome, Sir." She replied. "My name is Mary. I'll be back in a moment. If you need
    anything, just wave at me!"
         After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and lemon tea, Mary brought him the change,
    helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with
    him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us, Sir!"
         He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, "You are very kind!"
         When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and
    a note written on the napkin(餐巾纸), under which was a $100 bill.
         The note on the napkin read, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It
    shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine
    though those who meet you."
         The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of
    his workers, had seen him in person.

         Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents'
    home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I
    was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)I said
    hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
         I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I
    stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to
    at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city,and
    when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
         I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received a Christmas
    present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
    Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car
    and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the
    Friendly Ford dealership一a shop selling cars一was right next door. I walked over and found two
    salesmen in the showroom.
         "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?"I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup
    truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note
    to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write
    him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
         Another few years had passed when a friend's husband died. Pat had been a well-respected doctor
    at a big hospital, and hundreds of cards were sent to the family. Among them was a sympathy card from
    a plumber who had once worked at their house. He wrote that when Pat had paid the bill, he wrote on
    the invoice(发票), "Thank you for a good job."
         "Thank you"一two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.
    1. Where did the writer meet with the old couple for the first time? 
    A.  About  50 miles from Denver.  
    B. On the way to his friend's.
    C. In his parents' home.            
    D. At a certain gas station.

    A. the writer didn't visit his friends in the end
    B. the writer sent the old couple a Christmas package
    C. the old couple received thanks from the writer
    D. the old couple helped the writer repair his car
    3.One of the salesmen in the Friendly Ford wrote back to the  writer probably because______.
    A. only a few customers would write him for his help
    B. the writer's thanks note was meaningful to him
    C. the writer was humorous and friendly
    D. he wanted to make friends with the writer

         All sorts of things become litter(垃圾) but two of the most common and most dangerous are cigarette
    butts(烟头) and plastic bags. Litter is a big problem for our environment but it is a problem that individuals can easily do something about. Not littering at all or cleaning up litter, such as cigarette butts and plastic
    bags, greatly improves the quality of our environment.
         Although cigarette butts are small, they are bad for the environment. Over 1,600 billion cigarettes are
    smoked each year in China and large quantities of the butts are thrown away. Worldwide, about 4. 5
    trillion cigarette butts are littered every year. Apart from the fact that butts spoil the beauty of the
    environment, they contain some very toxic chemicals. These find their way into the water supply where
    they reduce the quality of the water and cause danger to plants and animals that live there. So, if people
    have to smoke, they shouldn't throw away the cigarette butts but put them in the rubbish bin instead.
         Plastic bags are another common form of litter that is a danger to the environment. There are several
    reasons for this. They are made from oil and gas, which are non-renewable resources(资源). If they are
    not recycled, these resources are lost to us. In China, 2 billion plastic bags are used every day. A large
    number of these become litter. This is a huge problem because they last from 20 to 1,000 years in the
    environment. They float easily in the air and water and travel long distances. They find their way to rivers,
    parks, beaches and oceans. Plastic bags kill up to 1,000,000 seabirds, 100, 000 sea mammals and
    countless fish each year worldwide. It is up to people not to let plastic bags become litter. It would be
    better if they used fewer and recycled them.
         Cleaning up your cigarette butts and plastic bags would improve the environment. And we would
    know that we were doing something to look after our planet. However, I believe the best solution would
    be not to smoke or use plastic bags at all.
    1. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
    ( 1= paragraph 1;  2= paragraph 2;   3= paragraph 3;   4= paragraph 4 )
    A. para1+para2,3,4      
    B. para1+para2,3+para4    
    C. para1,2,3+para4      
    D.para1,2+para3,4
    2. The word "toxic" in the paragraph 2 most probably mean "________"
    A. valuable    
    B. useless      
    C. extra          
    D. harmful
    3. From  the text. we know the fact that_________
    A. plastic bags cause 1 million deaths of seabirds each year worldwide
    B. Chinese smokers litter up to 4. 5 trillion cigarette ends every year
    C. the cigarette ends can last 20 to 1,000 years in the environment of China
    D. people in the world use 2 billion plastic bags in a single day
    4. What's probably the best title of the passage?
    A. Say Goodbye to Smoking                      
    B. Protect the Sea Animals    
    C. Clean Up Your Cigarette ends and Bags    
    D. Use Paper Bags Now

         In the year Shakespeare died in 1616, New England was born. This was in fact four years before
    any English speakers permanently (永久) settled in that northern location. But in 1616 it was already
    the subject of the book A Description of New England, by that busy explorer and promoter Captain
    John Smith, who had visited the land two years before.
       According to Smith, New England owes its name to Sir Francis Drake. Not that Drake ever saw or
    talked about New England, but in sailing around the world he stopped in 1597 at a place on the Pacific
    coast of North American and called it Nova Albion, the Latin for "New England". Following Drake's
    lead, Smith called the area at a similar latitude (纬度) on the Atlantic coast by the same name, translated
    into plain English.
       The very words New England show the direction of Smith's thinking. This was to be an extension (延
    伸) of Old England, not a new kind of community. The map in his book gives only English names for the
    places of New England, and he provides a special list showing thirty American Indian names replaced by
    English ones: Accormack by Plymouth, Massachusets River by Charles River, Kinebeck by
    Edenborough, to list a few. Some of those changes succeeded. But what finally happened after the
    Plymouth colonists landed four years later has turned out differently than Smith had imagined, for Indian
    names as well as English ones still cover the new England area.
    1. Captain John Smith arrived at the area New England in__________.
    A. 1579      
    B. 1614    
    C. 1616      
    D. 1620
    2. The underline words "that northern location" probably refer to__________.
    A. Edenborough    
    B. Nova Albion  
    C. New England  
    D. Massachusets
    3. The passage is written mainly to__________.
    A. explain why English and Indian names are both used in New England 
    B. explain how the name New England came into being

    A man's age no longer tell you anything about       
    his social position, marriage or healthy. There' s not     
    a particular year which one goes to school or goes to          
    work or gets married or start a family. The social clock        
    that kept us on time and told us when go to school, get        
    a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it was used to be.      
    It doesn't surprising us to hear a 28-year-old university        
    president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or 70-year-old        
    man who has become a father for the first time. What we     
    all know, public's ideas are changing nowadays.
