Helen Keller was born in America in June, 1880. Everything was all right when she was born. But when she was 19 months old, an attack of fever left her blind and deaf for the rest of her life. She was so young when she became blind that as she grew older she did not remember being able to see; and she became deaf before she had any idea of the importance of human speech. She lived in darkness and silence.
As she grew older, she, too, wanted to express her ideas and feelings. But she realized she was cut off from others. Her parents were greatly worried. How could anyone make touch with Helen’s mind and intelligence in darkness and silence without speech? Helen was nearly seven before a teacher was found. Her name was Miss Sullivan.
Miss Sullivan had a lot of difficulties in teaching Helen Keller. As the child could neither see nor hear, she had to use manual alphabet. But Helen’s energy and intelligence and strong spirit as well as Miss Sullivan’s skill and patience, overcame all the difficulties. As Helen grew up, she became an able student, passed examination and finally took a university degree in English literature. She then devoted all herself to helping the blind and the deaf. Her personal success, together with the work she had done for others, made her one of the greatest women in modern times. She wrote many books and “The Story of My Life”is a wonderful one.

A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain? But he discovered that it was a rattrap (捕鼠夾）.
Going back to the farmyard, the rat started to give a warning.
The rat turned to the pig and told him:“There is a rattrap in the house, a rattrap in the house!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Rat,” said the pig, “I can only say this is something terrible to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered with it.”
The rat turned to the cow. But the cow said, “Like wow, Mr. Rat? A rattrap? I am in danger, Huh?”
The rat returned to the house, head down and dejected. So the rat had to face the farmer's rattrap alone.
That very night, a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rattrap catching its prey (獵物). The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.In the darkness, she did not notice that it was a poisonous snake whose tail had been caught by the trap. The snake bit her.The farmer rushed her to hospital. She returned home with a fever. Everyone knows that a fever could be treated with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his knife to the farmyard for the soup. However, his wife's sickness continued.
The farmer's friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. But she didn't get well. Finally, she died, and so many people came for the last sight that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that the whole farmyard is at risk when there is a rattrap in the house.
小題1:From the passage we know that ______.
A．the pig helped the rat get rid of the trap
B．the cow strongly believed in what the rat said
C．no animals showed concern over the rat's warning
D．the snake was killed immediately after being caught
小題2:The underlined word ‘‘dejected” is the closest in meaning to _______.
A．disappointed B．surprisedC．irritated D．excited

A．the farmer had planned to kill the rat
B．the rat was very clever in avoiding the trap
C．the farmer's wife got good treatment in hospital
D．the rat had expected what would happen to the pig and cow
小題4: What message does the story intend to pass?
A．We should mind our own business.

C．We'd better treat animals in a friendly way.
D．The farmer couple and their friends are all foolish.

This is no joke. Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt, 20, and Kelly Carl Hildebrandt, 24, are expecting just over 100 guests at a(an)   21  at a church, where they will become husband and wife.
Their modern romance was a   22  made in cyberspace（網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間）. She was   23  and bored one night last year, so she typed her name into the   24  social networking Website Facebook just to see if anyone   25  it: Hildebrandt, 24, in South Florida. At the time, Kelly Hildebrandt, of Lubbock, Texas, was the only one matched. So she sent him a   26 . She said, “Hi. We had the same name. Thought it was cool.” Kelly Carl Hildebrandt said, “I thought she was pretty   27 .”
For the next three months the two   28  e-mails.   29  he knew it, occasional phone calls turned into daily chats, sometimes   30  hours. He   31  her in Florida after a few months and fell head over heels.
“I thought it was fun,” he said of that first online meet. “I had no   32  that it would lead to this.”
Months after Kelly Hildebrandt sent her first e-mail, she found a diamond engagement   33   hidden in treasure box on a beach in December. “I totally think that it’s all God’s   34  ,” Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt said. “He planned it out just   35   .”
She's a student at a local community college. He works in financial   36 . They plan to make their home in South Florida.
There was also some uncertainty   37  how to phrase their wedding invitations, so they decided to include their   38  names. But   39  confusion likely won't carry on past the husband and wife, as Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt said there are no plans to pass along the name to their future   40 . “No,” she said. “We're definitely not going to name our kids Kelly.”
