When I was in high school, my father retired and set up a food stand on the street near my school. He was particularly good at making      . Every day after I finished school, my classmates and I would     his food stand. But I really      talking to him before his food stand, because I didn’t want my classmates to know my father was selling noodles on the street!
One night, I couldn’t      it any more and shouted, “Dad, could you      selling your annoying noodles? I don’t need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment, my father was     . He tried to say something but didn’t. When he turned      , something happened that I would never      . His eyes were filled with tears. I saw him     for the first time. My mother later told me my father was selling noodles to      money for my college education. Even today I still feel      for what I did that night.
Time really flies. I finished      and then left my home to work. During the past years, whenever I       home, he was always there meeting me      at the railway station. Whenever he saw me off, he never tried to hug me, although I always       his hug. When I was away from home, he never wrote or telephoned me,      he always pushed my mother to telephone me. Whenever my mother was telephoning me, he’d sit beside her with a list of questions. He’d       my mother to talk to me for him. That’s the way he is, and that’s how he shows his      to me.
My father is quiet, but I feel a       , which is deep and powerful. It lives in a place far beyond     , and it is something special－“a silent father’s love”.

Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt --- the highest rank in the martial art and combat sport judo(柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who’ve earned the tenth-degree (or dan) black belt. Throughout history, only sixteen people have ever achieved this honor.
Fukuda began practicing judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro. Urged by her teacher, she learned English to help spread judo internationally.
During a time when getting married, building a family, and becoming a housewife was the standard, Fukuda went against tradition, opting out of marriage to pursue the martial art.
“All I did was judo ... this was my marriage,” Fukuda reflected tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my life destiny was set. I just never imagined how long this road would be.”
She described the Jiguro’s school, known as the Kodokan, as “old-fashioned and sexist(性別歧視的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an order that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for thirty years. She was finally promoted to sixth dan in 1972 when a woman’s division was created.
Fukuda said she approached judo and her life with the intention to “be gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda said this kind of beauty is decidedly not external (外部的). “ A kind soul is inner beauty,” she explained to the paper. “I believe this is true beauty … All my life this has been my dream.”
Dream realized, the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach judo three times a week at a woman’s judo.
小題1:It can be learned from the passage that ____________.
A．Fukuda achieved the tenth-degree black belt at 97.
B．four people earned the tenth-degree black belt in history.
C．nearly all of Kano Jiguro’s students were dead.
D．the Kodokan was founded in 1935.
小題2:The underlined part “opting out of” in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A．choosing or welcomingB．longing for or desiring
C．keeping out of or avoidingD．missing or having no chance of
小題3:Why did Fukuda remain at fifth-degree black belt for so long a time?
A．It was hard for her to improve her level.
B．She suffered from a foolish rule.
C．Her family life took up too much of her time.
D．She didn’t want to improve her level.
小題4:Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A．The only surviving student of Kano Jiguro remains single.
B．The tenth-degree black belt is the highest rank in judo.
C．Sensei Keiko Fukuda spreads judo throughout the world.
D．98-year-old woman becomes the first woman ever to earn judo’s highest-degree black belt.

The Albinas married when Mr. Albina was 30, and they spent the early marriage in Argentina. Then they decided to move to Chile, which meant they had to cross the Andes Mountains. They and their 20s sons made the difficult two-week journey on horses. One night there was a terrible snow storm in the mountains, during which Mrs Albina gave birth to triplets (三胞胎), a boy and two girls.
Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls, including the twins who are 15 months old. The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s. They are on their own now, but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house. The house has electricity but no toilet or running water. Clearly, the Albinas don’t have enough money and food for the big family. Why, then, do they continue to have children?
The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion. They can let other people take care of their kids, but Mrs Albina doesn’t allow it. “When we were babies,” she said, “our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned. Then a couple adopted my brothers, and I was left behind. I was heartbroken. I promised that when I became a mother I would never give my children away.”
So the Albina family continues to grow. They have so many kids that they run out of names and have to give some children the same name. There are three Susannas, three Miriams, two Estrellas, and two Soledades.
Will the family stop at 53 kids? Mr Albina is 77, and Mrs Albina is 59. “I am getting old,” she said with a smile, “and I would like God to think of me and consider my age. But if God sends more children to me, yes, there will be more.”  
小題1:What is said about the children in the Albinas in the passage?
A．Some children are raised by others.
B．God sent the children to the Albinas.
C．The children are all twins or triplets.
D．Most of the children are independent now.
小題2: It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A．Mrs Albina experienced a hard childhood
B．the Albinas would like to use birth control
C．ten kids in the family share the same name
D．the Albina family has lived in three countries
小題3:How old was Mrs Albina when the Albinas got married?
A．30.B．25.C．12.D．18.
小題4:What is the attitude of Mrs. Albina to continuing to have babies?
A．He is very positive.
B．He doesn’t want to have more.
C．He hopes God will give them more.
D．He lets nature take its course.

When Jean Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco.” She recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s oldest person. (There were others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age)
Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humor”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God may have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that she had good genes. Her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.
Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”
In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humor. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I have only ever had one wrinkle, and I am sitting on it.” Her longevity made her famous. Her spirits made her eternal(永恒的)
小題1:Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?
A．To show that Calment had seen famous people and things.
B．To emphasize that Calement was born a long time ago.
C．To indicate that Calement is just as famous.
D．To admire the knowledge that Calement had.
小題2:The author believes that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to _____.
A．a(chǎn) sense of humorB．being kept busyC．belief in GodD．good genes
小題3:The underlined word imperturbable means ______.
A．calmB．humorousC．friendlyD．healthy

Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套設(shè)備） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next–door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''
