| My teacher Miss Benson was the kindest creature on the earth. I was going to marry her when I grew up- 1 she would wait. I couldn't bear to miss one precious moment of her presence by 2 the classroom. I always raised my hands when she called for volunteers to gather 3 and bring them to her desk. That was the best chore of all. It made 4 getting near enough to her. I would arrange and rearrange the papers until they were in perfect order. I started begging my mother to put extra fruit 5 my lunch. I was never brave enough to hand it to Miss Benson directly, though. Each day the fruit was put unobserved on her desk. And the 6 was always the same. She would come in and sit down. "How nice!" She would pick the fruit up, then 7 the room. "What thoughtful little child brought me this?" No one claimed the honor, let alone me. " 8 it be that I have a secret admirer?" she would ask. I would feel the red rising in my face, and I would sigh with 9 when Miss Benson put the fruit away and started the lesson. One morning, the class was excited. The next day was Miss Benson's birthday. My heart beat fast I could give her something 10 . That afternoon was spent searching for wild flowers. I found several kinds. The next morning I hung back as others presented their gifts. 11 I went to the desk and gave the flowers to Miss Benson. She was pleased, and held it to 12 cheek for a moment. The next Monday, Miss Benson was not in class. Then I was 13 to go to the headmaster's office. When I arrived, I saw my mother. On a table were my flowers. "Do you know 14 Miss Benson is today?" the headmaster asked. " 15 , sir," I answered. "Miss Benson," he said. "is in the hospital, and you sent her there!" I sat, 16 , in my chair. "Do you know what you gave her?" he continued. I 17 , "some flowers." "They were poisonous!" He was angry. "How did you protect 18 when you picked them?" "I didn't know they were poisonous." I cried. I begged my mother to take me to the hospital. Miss Benson was in bed when we arrived. "I didn't 19 to make you sick…" I said. Miss Benson smiled, "You wanted to give me something special, didn't you?" I was filled with happiness. She was not mad at me."And I'll tell you a secret," she continued. "When I am married, if I have a 20 , I would like him to grow up just like you." | ||||

| Chinese Valentine's Day (情人节) is on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar (阴历). It is a traditional festival for Chinese people. It comes from a romantic ancient Chinese story. Niu Lang and Zhi Nv, two lovers who got separated by the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens, can only meet that night. Thanks to this touching story, Chinese people regard people also call it "Qixi". Meanwhile, February 14 of the solar calendar is European Valentine's Day. It is related to a moving story too. The story goes that, there was a cruel king in ancient Rome whose name was Claudius. He forbade the youth to get married during the wars, which made the lovers angry. There was a monk named Valentine who was very angry at the rule and the king. One day a couple of lovers came to his temple to ask for help to get married. Valentine helped them. Later, many couples got married with Valentine's help. But Claudius knew it soon. He put Valentine to death cruelly. And that day was February 14, the year of 270. Compared with European Valentine's Day, Qixi is less popular in China though it is a traditional Chinese festival. There may be many reasons. First of all, the lunar calendar is not easy to remember for most of the young people who are used to the solar calendar. Secondly, to many businessmen, European Valentine's Day is not only a festival for lovers but also a good chance to make money. Most of the flower shops can sell their flowers at a good price on European Valentine's Day while the business drops in Qixi, because on European Valentine's Day lovers know more about how to enjoy it. They exchange cards, flowers and go out to date. But most of them don't know the culture of Chinese Valentine's Day or how to celebrate it. |
| 1. This text is mainly about __________. |
| A. two moving romantic stories B. something about Qixi and Valentine's Day C. why young people prefer Western festivals D. how Qixi is different from European Valentine's Day |
| 2. Qixi is less popular than European Valentine's Day because __________. |
| A. businessmen think that European Valentine's Day is more important than Qixi B. the government encourages people to celebrate foreign festivals C. the costs on Qixi are higher than those on European Valentine's Day D. the lunar calendar is not easy to remember and people don't know how to enjoy Qixi |
| 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? |
| A. Lovers exchange cards, flowers and go out to date on Qixi. B. Valentine helped a couple of lovers kill the cruel king. C. European Valentine's Day was named after a person. D. Old people in China dislike young people celebrating European Valentine's Day. |
| 4. If the text goes on, what will probably be talked about in the next paragraph? |
| A. Young people should fight for love and happiness. B. Chinese people should treasure traditional Chinese festivals more. C. Qixi will also become an international festival in the future. D. Chinese people should stop celebrating European Valentine's Day. |

| A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack - when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was trapped in a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a warning about being late for the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's a being late - serious illness at home - he decided that this by now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and dow n preparing a dismissal speech. Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam's boss came up to him. Suddenly, Sam smiled and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?" The room exploded in laughter. However, the boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job - with the only tool that could win, a laugh. Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other field. |
| 1. Why was Sam late for his job? |
| A. He was ill. B. He was caught in a traffic jam. C. He was busy applying for a new job. D. He got up late. |
| 2. The underlined phrase "clamped off" in the third paragraph probably means __________. |
| A. burst into B. tried to set up C. tried to hold back D. gave out |
| 3. Which of the following statements can we infer from the text? |
| A. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30. B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work. C. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems. D. All people lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor. |

| Most people will answer a ringing phone. Usually you don't know who is phoning or how urgent their business is, so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore. In one experiment, a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports. Then he called the numbers. Someone nearly always answered. When he asked why, people usually said, "Because it rang." A few years ago in New Jersey, a man with a rifle killed 13 people. Armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out. A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called. The man put down his rifle and answered the phone. "What do you want?" he said, "I'm really busy right now." Imagine you're at work and the phone is ringing in someone else's office. Do you answer it or not? In one survey on telephone use, 51% of participants told researches that they did. We can't ignore the phone and for the reason, it forces its way into our lives. It interrupts what we are doing and on top of that, the caller is often someone we don't really want to talk to. However, in the survey, 58% said they never took the phone off the hook, and 67% didn't mind if someone called during a television programme. For 44% it wasn't a problem if someone rang during a meal, while only 28% were annoyed or upset. If someone phoned in the middle of the night, 40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened, while around 30% got angry. Of course, when someone is really annoying, you can choose to hang up on him/her. This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone, but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases. Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people. |
| 1. In the experiment, people answered the researcher's phone _______. |
| A. for fear that it was urgent B. in order to help him gather the data C. to test the function of the phone D. to show their interest in the survey |
| 2. The gunman answered the phone because _____. |
| A. he decided not to give up his resistance to the police B. he tended to answer a ringing phone C. he wanted to tell the reporter that he was too busy to offer any information D. he intended to be friendly with the media |
| 3. According to Para.3, most people _____ when they were doing their work or watching television. |
| A. minded the ringing of the phone B. couldn't ignore the phone C. refused to answer the phone in someone else's office D. kept the phone ringing |
| 4. What is implied by the sentence "79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases"(in the last paragraph)? |
| A. They were annoyed by the rude callers. B. They were prepared to punish those rude callers. C. They were going to hang up on annoying phones. D. They also agreed that it was a rude thing to hang up on others. |
| 5. The purpose of the survey is to find out _____. |
