A group of class friends, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon          into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the          and returned with a large pot of coffee and a couple of          — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some          looking, some expensive, some delicate — telling them to         themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in         , the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,          behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is          for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that is the          of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself          no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.          all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went          the best cups. And then you began               each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the        ; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define nor         the quality of life we         . Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we          to enjoy the coffee God has          for us. God brews the coffee, not the cups…Enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just          the best of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the          to God.

B
More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple. The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1996, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.
The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.
In nutrition(營養(yǎng)) it was all good news too. This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(維生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.
Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.
小題1:We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is ______.
A．green outside and sweet insideB．good-looking outside and soft inside
C．yellowy-gold outside and hard insideD．a(chǎn) little soft outside and sweet inside
小題2:Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?
A．It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B．It was less sweet and good for health.
C．It was developed by Del Monte.D．It was used as medicine.
小題3:The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something ______.
A. that people enjoy eating             B. that is always present
CV. that is difficult to get                     D. that people use as a gift
小題4:We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte ______.
A．a(chǎn)llowed other companies to develop pineapples
B．succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself
C．tried hard to control the pineapple market
D．planned to help the other companies

It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收費(fèi)站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”
It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.
Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “l(fā)ike a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.
Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.
“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”
The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!
小題1:Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
A．She knew the car drivers well.
B．She wanted to show kindness.
C．She hoped to please others.
D．She had seven tickets.
小題2:Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she       .
A．thought it was beautifully written
B．wanted to know what it really meant
C．decided to write it on a warehouse wall
D．wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom
小題3:Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?
A．Judy Foreman.
B．Natalie Smith.
C．Alice Johnson.
D．Anne Herbert.
小題4:Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?
A．Kindness and violence can change the world.
B．Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.
C．Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.
D．Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.
小題5:What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．People should practice random kindness to those in need.
B．People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.
C．People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.
D．People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.

My brother and I were in Orlando Florida to witness our first Space Shuttle Launch. The Discovery was         to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day. I’d seen it         so many times on television,         now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And it’s the final demonstration of the         of success: Success Takes Off Like a Rocket.
Witnessing the Take Off:
Standing close to the Space Shuttle         home one unforgettable point—the Shuttle is the height of a 15-story building—it         4.5 million pounds—and NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV the accomplishments look so much        , so much easier.
Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small         of hundreds of portable radios all tuned to the NASA station. It’s enough to get your heart beating        .
When time is up, the side booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts        . The first things you see are large white         clouds exploding away. Through the steam, you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way        . Thousands upon millions of pounds of         can hardly lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle picks up and roars into the sky, headed into space attaining a        of over 17,000 mph.
It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle that the great success lesson is      . Fact: 85% of the shuttle’s fuel is consumed within the first 2 minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital        .
And that’s exactly how success        : The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the         and will require an enormous consumption of energy—a great big push. However,         you persist through the launch period, which can seem almost         for quite some time, everything gets easier and easier and your results get bigger and bigger.

Sharing Beauty
It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.
I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.
Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.
One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.
Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.
小題1:The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.
A．a(chǎn)dmire the sunsetB．cheer her upC．offer some helpD．have a chat
小題2:Four years later, the author ______.
A．found her dream job
B．put an end to her marriage
C．worked in a laundry room
D．lived in the same community
小題3:After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.
A．disappointedB．puzzledC．inspiredD．overjoyed

Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有強(qiáng)迫觀念和行為的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.
“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.
小題1:Jenelle found in the mirror that __________.
A．there were stains on her blouse
B．her blouse was wrinkled
C．she wore heavy makeup
D．she put on a wrong blouse
小題2:It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.
A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work
B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work
C．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all
D．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearance
小題3:What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.
B．We are careful enough in daily life.
C．We all have done something creative.
D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.
小題4:What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?
A．Be creative.B．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
C．Stick to old ways.D．Do things right.

On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island, Florida, Melissa Hawkinson, 41, was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead. What was that? She thought. As she drove up to the scene, she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore. “It was going down pretty quickly,” Hawkinson recalls. She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water. Water is going to be cold, she thought.
She took off her vest and leather boots, got into the icy water, and swam to the car, where she found Cameron Dorsey, five, trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him.
Hawkinson tried to open the door, but it was locked. So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door. She pulled the boy free, swam to shore, and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock. The driver, the boy’s suicidal father, swam back to land on his own. Afterward, Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket. “For ten or 15 minutes, I couldn’t stop shaking,” she said.
There’s nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson, an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile. Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day. Why do some people act quickly, willing to take a risk for a stranger? What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it? Hawkinson, the Granite Mountain Hotshots (能手，高手)---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona--- every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another: what makes them brave?
Moreover, can bravery be learned, or is it a quality with which you are born? The answer is complex. Bravery taps the mind, brain and heart. It comes from instinct, training and sympathy. Today, neurologists, psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery, trying to uncover the mystery.
小題1:It can be learned from the passage that _______.
A．Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse
B．it was spring when the accident happened
C．Melissa Hawkinson was picking up her five-year-old son
D．Melissa Hawkinson was kind and courageous.
小題2:What conclusion can we draw from the third paragraph?
A．Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy..
B．The father committed suicide because of the divorce.
C．The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson.
D．No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson.
小題3:How does the writer find other people on the dockside?
A．Warm and ready to helpB．Thoughtful
C．Kind of cold-bloodedD．Not skillful at swimming
小題4:What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To set us thinking what makes people brave.
B．To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson.
C．To remind people of risk while saving others.
D．To show people bravery can be learned.

Rented Boyfriends
Taobao. com, China's largest online marketplace, is never short of bizarre offers.
And here is the latest one: boyfriends for rent.
A rented boyfriend can do the following: accompanying the girl to visit friends and families, go shopping, having meals and even getting a kiss out of courtesy. The charge is by the hour.
The services become hot with the approach of the Spring Festival, the most important festival for family reunions.
In China, parents especially worry about unmarried daughters.
Single women will have to face the same old question at the family dinner table: have you got a boyfriend?
And for those who haven't found their Mr. Rights, renting a boyfriend emerges as a solution.
So, which men are willing to offer that service?
“I offer such a service only because I'm bored and know fewer female friends at work," said Ding Hui, 27, a salesman in the plastic industry in Shanghai, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.
He rented himself twice last year: during the Spring Festival and National Day. His customers were two 28-year-old women.
He charged 3,000 yuan each, and the customer had to cover his round-trip tickets, accommodations and bought him clothes to make him look smart.
More than 260 rent-a-boyfriend services can be found on the taobao.com, with the number climbing.
An anonymous female netizen, who claimed to have rented a boyfriend, said on the website, "My parents are very satisfied, so my pressure is greatly reduced."
