As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas __1__for her father.

She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes(煙斗) on sale and the __10__were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate(猶豫) for long, although her father __11__ smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was __12__ to please him.
When she got home, with her small but __13__present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at table. Her mother was in great __14__. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so __15__that she could not say a single word.

More Than I Had Dreamed Of

Once there was a young woman who didn’t like her job. Everyday when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “Leave that job,” her husband told her.
“Oh, I will,” she said. “But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave.” And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “Leave that job,” her grandchildren told her. “Oh, I will,” she said. “But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can’t just yet.”
I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning in the sun. “Why is your dog acting that way?” a customer asked the store owner. “Oh,” answered the man. “He’s lying on a nail.” “Well, why doesn’t he move?” “Because it’s not hurting him bad enough.”
That’s true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But we’re wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self-esteem, kills our passion or destroys our dreams.
Wilbur Wright once commented, “We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn’t wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion, too.”
They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don’t change as they sometimes will, they refuse to let environment hijack(劫持) their self-esteem, passion or dreams.
小題1:The woman complained to her husband every day because   .
A．she didn’t have enough money to support her family
B．her boss criticized her for what she had done
C．she was not satisfied with her job at all
D．her work was difficult and her boss was cruel
小題2:From the second paragraph we can know that the woman   .
A．liked making friends with others
B．loved all of her children very much
C．left her tiring job at last
D．did exactly the same job all along
小題3:The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means   .
A．lastingB．slightC．seriousD．hard
小題4:People who are getting along well with their work     .
A．have to get up early every day
B．a(chǎn)re not willing to go to work
C．need more unique gifts and talents
D．a(chǎn)re likely to change with the situation

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容判斷正誤，正確的涂A，錯誤的涂B。
When my grandmother was raising me in Stamps，Arkansas，she had a particular routine(慣例)when people who were known to be whiners entered her store. My grandmother would ask the customer，“How are you doing today，Thomas？” The person would reply，“Not so good today, Henderson.You see，it’s this summer heat.I just hate it.It just makes me tired.It’s almost killing me.”Then my grandmother would stand calmly，her arms folded，and say，“Uh-huh，uh huh.”
As soon as the complainer was out of the store，my grandmother would call me to stand in front of her.Then she would say the same thing she had said at least a thousand times，it seemed to me.“Jane，did you hear what so-and-so complained about？”And I would nod.Grandmother would continue，“Jane，there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night，poor and rich and black and white，but they will never wake again.Those dead people would give anything，anything at all for just five minutes of this weather that person was complaining about.So you watch yourself about complaining，Jane.What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it.If you can’t change it，change the way you think about it.Don’t complain.”
I have learned a lot from my grandmother.Her opinions always hit the nail on the head.Whining is not only impolite, but can be dangerous.
小題1:The underlined word “whiners” in Paragraph 1 refers to those people who enter a store regularly.
小題2: From what the author’s grandmother said we can infer that she was against whining.
小題3:The author’s grandmother told her to treasure every moment of her life.
小題4:The author was told different things after the whiners left Grandmother’s store.
小題5:The purpose of the author in writing the passage is to show that complaining is not only rude but harmful.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (搶劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment (公寓房間), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾車) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “ Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were wiling to help each other.
小題1:How did the write feel when she was walking home after work?
A．Cold and sick
B．Fortunate and helpful
C．Satisfied and cheerful
D．Disappointed and helpless
小題2:From the first paragraph, we learn that the write was busy  ______.

小題3:On her way home the writer _______.
A．lost her wallet unknowingly

D．found some homeless people following her
小題4:In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?
A．Someone offered to take her back home.
B．A red-haired man came to see her.
C．She heard someone call her name
D．Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.
小題5:From the text, we can infer that the writer _________.
