My daughter and I collected the empty cans and bottles in our home .this morning, We had 6 full garbage bags later so I knew we would be spending a bit more of time at the recycling center. When we got there , a man and his kids were also doing the morning recycling and were using two of the four machines to recycle their plastic and cans. Luckily ,we were able to use the 2 remaining machines.
Of course, there were others that came, but when they saw the two families with garbage bags full of recycled things, they quickly left. However, one woman came in with just 5 cans and looked as if she was in a hurry. So I stopped what I was doing and let her in to recycle her cans. Of course, she was grateful, and it felt good to let her go ahead of me. But that was not the whole story.
My daughter and I continued to work through the bags, but the plastic recycling machine stopped working because it was full. My daughter was left with nothing to, do. The other family was still using the other two plastic recycling machines, but it. seemed that they were almost done .I just told my daughter we would have to wait until they were done. But the man of the other family came through with another act of kindness. He offered to let us go ahead of him. I was really surprised, because we had more than 5 bottles, but he didn’t seem to mind. I happily accepted it.
It was great to give and then to get an act of kindness in turn. It was small, I didn't expect it, but it surely brightened up my day.

Yousuf Karsh，the Canadian portrait artist who photographed many of the most influential figures of the 20th century，died in a Boston hospital on July l3 th，2002．He was 93．
Working from a studio in Ottawa，Karsh produced famous portraits of such subjects as Winston Churchill，John F．Kennedy，Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein．Actually he has become almost as famous as his legendary subjects．In the latest edition of Who’s Who，which listed the most notable people of the last century，Karsh was the only Canadian of the 100 famous people listed——51 0f whom Karsh had photographed．
As a master portraitist，often working in black and white．Karsh was famous for talking to his subjects as he was getting the shot’s composition just right，asking them questions and putting them at ease．In preparation，he read as much as he could about the sitters，but avoided having the idea beforehand of how he would photograph them．He sought, as he wrote in Karsh Portfolio in 1967，to capture the “essential element which has made them great，” explaining，“All I know is that within every mall a secret is hidden，and as a photographer, it is my task to reveal it if I can．”
Karsh was born in America in 1908，and his uncle，George Nakash，brought him to John Garo，all outstanding photographer，to teach him in 1928．Four years later，Karsh set up his own studio in Ottawa．
In December of 1941，his memorable portrait of Winston Churchill brought Karsh into international fame．Canada’s Prime Minister Mackenzie King arranged for him to photograph Churchill following Churchill’s speech in the House of Commons．Not told，Churchill lit up a cigar, “Why was I not told of this?’’ Karsh asked him to remove the cigar and，when he didn’t，stepped forward and gently removed it with the comment，“Forgive me，Sir．”Churchill glowered (怒目而視) as the shot was taken，then permitted Karsh to take still another,；jokingly commenting，“You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed．” The Churchill portrait has since appeared in publications all over the world．
Karsh traveled to London in 1943 with his portable studio —— an 8-by-10 view camera and many studio lamps to photograph such notables as George Bernard Shaw and the royal family．All these portraits fully illustrate Karsh’s ability．
小題1:What did Karsh seek to do most in working?
A．Capture the essence and greatness of the character．
B．Present the true and vivid expression of the subject．
C．Make the photograph more colorful and expressive．
D．Reveal the idea he has got in preparing for the shot．
小題2:The underlined word “sitters”in Para 3 probably means __________ ．
A．characters seatedB．subjects questioned
C．models photographedD．photographs taken
小題3:The last three paragraphs are mainly developed by __________ ．
A．following time orderB．providing examples
C．making comparisonsD．giving causes and effects
小題4:From the passage，we can learn that __________ ．
A．Churchill was asked to stand still when Karsh took a photograph of him
B．Churchill’s portrait hanging in the House of Commons gave Karsh great fame
C．Karsh was listed as one of the 100 notables by Who’s Who in the last century
D．Karsh could skilfully adjust the subjects’ mood when photographing them

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be        Christmas gifts because there was not enough money.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “How’s the car?” I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he’s determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.
His other standard question—How’s the car? -- used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “How’s the car?” is not about the car. It’s a father’s way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if there’s something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you’re having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to act Mom on the line.
At age thirty I finally took the plunge(跳進) into adulthood by renting a car without my dad’s help or advice. I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter’s independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the job’s done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he’d happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. It’s interesting: Even though we’re tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function -- suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare -- to feel he has a role in my life.
小題1:In the author’s opinion, her father always attended her school plays or softball games to_____.
A．satisfy any demand she made to him
B．show his interest and watch them for fun
C．make up what he was previously short of
D．expect his daughter would be great in games
小題2:The author has learned that by asking “How is the car?”, her father is actually_____.
A．reminding her not to waste money
B．a(chǎn)sking how his daughter is getting along
C．expressing his concern for her daughter’s safety
D．a(chǎn)sking his daughter if the car breaks down or not
小題3:According to the author, her father, like many other fathers, is unwilling to retire probably because_____.
A．he wants to continue to earn money
B．he is doubtful of children’s independence
C．he won’t put an end to caring for his children
D．he is afraid of losing connection with children
小題4:We can safely draw a conclusion from the story that in the author’s eye her father_____.
A．has a strong passion for his work
B．has the deepest love for his children
C．has great interest in his daughter’s car
D．has too much control over his children

My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹣跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.
In the song “Love Is Not a Fight” Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels (天使) to guard the door.”
Sometimes angels come disguised (偽裝) as dogs.
小題1:How was the dog when found?
A．Too weak to walk.B．Thin and worn out.
C．Unable to eat food.D．Homeless but gentle.
小題2: We can infer from Paragraph 2 that         .
A．the dog didn’t go with the writer
B．the writer had his own pet dog
C．Julie bought some food for the dog
D．the dog didn’t eat any of the food
小題3:The underlined part “our problem” in the passage refers to the fact that         .
A．the writer didn’t want to take Julie’s advice
B．a(chǎn)n old black dog appeared in front of them
C．Julie disagreed with the writer’s travel on business
D．the couple had some trouble with their marriage
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．An Angel DogB．A Helpful CoupleC．Saving the DogD．A Famous Song
