On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the   36  of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 37  from the day before, he took out a large piece of   38  and laid it on the ground. Then he began  39 .
Before long, the young violinist was   40  with people, who were all attracted by the   41  on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat  42 . Please come to claim(認(rèn)領(lǐng)) it soon."
After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 43 through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would   44  come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you   45 something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist  46  a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and   47  it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which   48  him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat.  49  , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket   50  himself, the violinist said,"  51  I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should   52 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we  53 succeed temporarily (暫時(shí)). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the   54  on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the 55 of going up.

Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima was born on 22 September 1976 in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Like most of his childhood friends, Ronaldo began his soccer career playing barefoot in the streets of his neighborhood. At the age of 14, he joined SCristovo soccer club and only two years later became the star of Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte scoring a total of 58 goals in 60 matches and earning himself a reputation for his explosive pace and outstanding finishing skills. His goal-scoring record and unusual agility led him to be included in the Brazilian World Cup winning team the following year. After the World Cup, many top European football clubs were trying to sign him. Many people, including Brazilian football legend Pelé, referred to him as the most promising footballer of his generation.
Since his transfer to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo’s biography is one of success after success. Two Copa América s, a UEFA Cup, a Dutch Cup, a Spanish League Cup, and two awards as best player in the world, all in the space of two years, are some of Ronaldo s impressive achievements. On arrival to Inter-Milan in 1997, Ronaldo became the idol of the local fans who refer to him as “il Fenomeno.”
Since the 98 World Cup he has suffered two serious knee injuries that have severely limited his appearances. Just when people began to wonder whether Ronaldo would be able to continue with his football career, he proved to the world that he still could play. In the World Cup held in Korea and Japan, the magical striker won the Golden Shoe award and tied Pelé's Brazilian record for career World Cup goals with 12. He helped Brazil capture its fifth World Cup championship on June 30 with a 2-0 win over Germany. It was the third time that Ronaldo has ever played in the World Cup.

In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.
They showed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” showed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Channel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now completed.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome would cover the whole city.
Supporters(支持者) of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens and wilderness. H. G. Well’s “moon people” would agree. Would you?
小題1:The explorers in H. G. Well’s story were surprised to find that the “moon people” ______.
A．knew so much about the earth
B．understood their language
C．lived in so many underground cities
D．were ahead of them in space technology
小題2:What does the underlined word  (paragraph 3) “it” refer to?
A．Discovering the moon’s inner space.
B．Using the earth’s inner space.
C．Meeting the “moon people” again.
D．Traveling to outer space.
小題3:What kind of underground system are already here with us?
A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C．Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D．Tunnels, gardens, offices.
小題4:What would be the best title for the text?
A．Alice Cities—cities of the future.
B．Space travel with H. G. Wells.
C．Enjoy living underground.
D．Building down, not up.

We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
小題1:What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?
A．It must appear in time.
B．It must be done in class.
C．It must be done on a construction sheet.
D．It must include the words on the blackboard.
小題2:The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A．formed an idea for
B．made an outline for
C．made some space for
D．chose some colors for
小題3:After the teacher’s words, all the students in the class________.
A．looked very serious
B．thought they would be rich
C．began to think about their designs
D．began to play games
小題4:After seeing the good students’ designs, some students________.
A．loved their own designs more
B．thought they had a fair chance
C．put their own designs in a corner
D．thought they would not win the prize
小題5:We can infer from the passage that the author________.
A．enjoyed grown up tricks very much
B．loved poster competitions very much
C．felt surprised to win the competition
D．became wise and rich after the competition

Without any hesitation, he said, “I’d be better off dead.” Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s mouth tore my heart apart. He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.
I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts.
He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first.
Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.
My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someone’s life. With the fragility of life as it is, I believe in the necessity of encouragement.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, what the author’s friend said made the author feel ______.
A．puzzledB．heartbroken.C．frightenedD．hopeless
小題2:By saying “convenience is not in my vocabulary”, the author means ______.
A．he is always ready to help his friend.
B．he hardly spares time to help his friend.
C．he has no good excuse for refusing his friend.
D．he is not good at communicating with his friend.
小題3:From the passage we learn that the author’s friend ________.
A．had a happy childhood but everything changed later
B．wanted to share his story but no one listened.
C．took it for granted that he was made fun of
D．was always of sad appearance
小題4:What does the author learn from his experiences?
A．How to make a big difference to others.
B．The importance of encouragement.
C．How to get rid of depression

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the 'Happy Birthday' song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child's second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession(職業(yè)) the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侶) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (儀式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional “coming of age”— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (選舉), join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!
