One winter morning, an old couple around the age of 70, walked into a lawyer’s office to sign
a   36  after quarreling all their 45 years of marriage. The lawyer was very   37 , after having a chat with them, he got their   38 . They hung on because of their children, afraid that it might   39  their growth. Now, all they wanted was to lead their own life free from all these years of  __40  from their marriage, so both agreed on a divorce.
The lawyer was having a hard time getting the papers done, but he still couldn’t understand why the old couple would want a divorce, suggesting a   41  together, just three of them. At the table, there was a silence of   42  . The first dish was roasted chicken.   43  , the old man took the drumstick for the old lady, “Take this, it’s your favorite. ” Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there was still a   44 , but the wife answered frowning. “This is where the problem   45  . You always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don’t you know that I hate   46  ?”
Little did she know that, over the years, her husband was trying all ways to   47  her; little did she know that drumsticks were her husband’s favorite. Little did he know that she never thought he understood her at all; little did he know that she hated drumsticks even though all he wanted was the best for her.
That night, both of them were difficult to fall asleep. After hours, the old man couldn’t   48_ it any more, wanting to tell her himself, “I love you and I can’t live without you.” He picked up the phone to dial her number. Ringing never stopped. On the other side, she was upset,   49  to answer any phones. The next day, she received news that he had   50 , learning that he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line.
  51  enough, she had to clear his   52  in his apartment , only to find an insurance policy（保險單）dating from the day when they got married, and the beneficiary （受益人）was her. Together in that file there was this note: “To my dearest wife, I bought this policy for you,   53__  the amount is only $100, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that I made when we got married, and I want you to know I will always be around by your side. I love you.” Tears   __54  freely down her cheeks when the lady read it.
When you love someone, do let them know, for you   55  know what will happen the next minute.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   11  , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it   12  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles(彈珠),   13  everywhere. I tried to use a broom(掃帚),    14  with each sweep, they just rolled across the kitchen.
For the next week, every time I was in the   15  , I found a pea——in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   16  . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and   17__  12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining   18  , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful  __19  I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded   20  those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   21  had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had scattered(分散).

I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you   24  , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never   25  , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be   26  , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   27  , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   28  you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   29  , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,   30   will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a  36  life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.

Dear Guys,
I’d like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. That’s when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.
One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉強地) agreed.
Before I continue, let me explain something that I didn’t have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. I’m bad at aiming too. So you can understand why I’d be nervous at what I’m sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request.
However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, threw it as hard as I could.
It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.
Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, then picked up the ball again. If you’ll remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, Oh God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next.
The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.
This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldn’t it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless.
Seeing that you weren’t going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel.
Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me.
“Throw it granny-style!” one of you said.
“Just back up a little and give it all you’ve got!” another offered.
And, most embarrassing of all, “You can do it!”
I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame.
Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly.
It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me.
I surprised myself-and I’m sure you as well-by letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!!!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so I’d be put out of my misery.
Alas, the heart attack didn’t happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had become a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?”
Unfortunately for you, I wasn’t really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute period was just enough blow for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come get the damn ball.”
And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who play sports.
Sincerely, Jen Cordery
小題1:The writer agreed to throw the ball because ______.
A．she needed to have a relax carrying the heavy groceries
B．she wanted to refresh her childhood memories
C．she could not refuse the polite request from the young man
D．she had fallen in love with the young man at first sight
小題2:Why did the writer mention her middle school memory?

C．To show how cruel those 13-year-old boys were.
D．To express her dislike towards softball.
小題3: What the boys said before the writer’s third attempt actually made the writer _______.
A．inspiredB．encouragedC．embarrassedD．depressed
小題4:What happened to the ball at last?
A．The writer managed to throw the ball back.
B．The boy got the ball back by himself.
C．The writer threw the ball away out of anger.
D．The boys got angry and left without the ball.

NEW YORK— Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes, or a couple of hours if they head for the woods. Dave Murbach needs 11 months.
Almost every day of every year, Murbach’s thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyone's breath away.
Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
“I'm always looking for a tree,” the center's chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. It' s like a homework assignment hanging over your head.”
And if he gets it wrong, there's nothing hiding it.
“Every day it's up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says.
This year’s tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the world's largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2.
The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York — a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (裝飾品). 
The search for the next year's tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs.
Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through.
That's not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced.
Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”
Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “It's for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. That's what I hope it sets off.”  But Murbach says he's always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.
小題1: Which is the correct order of the events in the passage?
a. Murbach’s thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree.
b. 2.5 million people watch the Christmas tree.
c. The tree is flown to New York.
d. It was lighted on December 2.
e. The tree is chopped up.
f. Murbach searches for the tree.
A．a(chǎn), b, c, d, e, f B．c, d, b, f, e, a
C．c, d, e, b, a, f D．a(chǎn), f, c, d, b, e
小題2: Murbach spends a lot of time         that are exhibited in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
A．taking care of Christmas trees
B．deciding on the perfect evergreens
C．sorting the letters from people
D．deciding the TV programs
小題3: Why does Murbach take his job seriously?
A．Because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice.
B．Because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe.
C．Because he enjoys showing off.
D．Because he wishes to attract people's attention to himself.
小題4: According to Murbach' s standard of trees, the best tree must_______ .
A．be evergreen
B．have lots of space between their branches
C．be tall enough not to see through
D．be equally balanced
小題5: What kind of person do you think Murbach is?
A．A person always ignoring his family.
B．A person full of love.
C．A person devoted to his work.

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were  31 . The doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as  32 as possible.
The man put the Cat on his lap and 33  .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear
  34 down the Man's cheek and   35  on the Cat's forehead. The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can't   36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man  37 "yes".
"And where do you think I'll be   38  I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39 
your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.
"And where is it that you most often   40  me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window
  41  the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my
  42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then  43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to   44  himself                                                                                                                                                                                                    
for hours with it. '"Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my   45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.
"You have made a continuous  46  ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then   47  his head " no".
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the  48  , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and  49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.          
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier   50 Cat and very much the same.

All that seemed   44   and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to   45  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   47 to help clean cars．Passers-by were   48   and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused．A pretty heartwarming   49  !
I feel blessed by being   50  by such wonderful and loving souls．

My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.
Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.
This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.
We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.

A．when he was picking up a pack of cigarettes that had fallen into the machine
B．because he was not careful and smoked when running the machine
