I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and              of a big city, and where teenagers like me        leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that changed one summer night. My friend Lisa, Martin and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house.       they kept handing alcohol to me I was pretty        . I asked Tyler to take me home. With some       , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. My friend Martin was       in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Martin, who was       more drunk than me, got into his car and        towards the highway to go home. Driving on the wrong side of the road, he never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see him       to avoid the car. They hit head on. Martin died immediately, and the driver was thrown       the truck windshield（擋風(fēng)玻璃）and died a week later.
Whenever I       back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my       to drink so much that night.       things would be different. I know Martin       the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel       for what happened.
I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that by       my story I can make you       that you not only have a responsibility for yourself but also for others. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours       . Every choice is like a stone dropped into         water—each ripple (漣漪) represents someone who your choice       . That’s quite an influence, isn’t it?

The artist Grandma Moses became famous for her simple, bright, cheerful paintings of American farm life．Her full name was Anna Mary Robertson Moses．But she was known to everyone as Grandma Moses because she did not begin to paint seriously until in her seventies．
Born on a farm in New York, Anna had little schooling．Her days were filled with farm chores．But she often found time to make pictures．Soon, however, she became too busy to draw or paint．At the age of 12, she went to work as a servant for a family nearby．She worked for other people for many years．Then, when she was 27, she married Thomas Moses, a farmer．And they began raising a family of their own．
Anna Moses could no longer do heavy farm work with age．Then, in her seventies, she began to paint in oils．Her pictures showed things she recalled from childhood-farm scenes, ice-skating, bringing home the Christmas tree．Later, she began to display her art at county fairs．Her pictures recorded a way of life that was quickly passing away．People everywhere loved these happy scenes, and soon her paintings were shown in art galleries．Grandma Moses became famous partially on account of her age, but mainly because her approach to art was modest and simple compared to many other painters of her time．Without formal training or even knowledge of Modernism, she relied on her own simple techniques to create her landscapes and scenes．She continued to paint almost until her death, on December 13, 1961 , at the age of 101．
The themes in her paintings provided the comfort of a rural life that many busy Americans treasured from their past．The threat of nuclear arms that appeared on television screens and in magazines had Americans starving for something more．Grandma Moses' art appealed to those who had lost hope for the future．Her classic paintings still appear on TV commercials, greeting cards, and magazine and book covers．

Family traditions were important in our house, and none was more appreciated than the perfect Christmas tree.
"Dad, can we watch when you trim(修剪) the tree?" My eldest son, Dan, nine, and his seven-year-old brother John, asked.
"I won't be cutting this year," my husband Bob said. "Dan, you and John are old enough to measure things. Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?"
Dan and John seemed to grow six inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility. "We can handle it," Dan promised. "We won't let you down."
A few days before Christmas, Dan and John rushed in after school. They gathered the tools they'd need and brought them out to the yard, where the tree waited. I was cooking when I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the tree into the living room. Then I heard the sound that every mother knows is trouble: dead silence. I hurried out to them. The tree was cut too short. John crossed his arms tight across his chest. His eyes filled with angry tears.
I felt worried. The tree was central to our holiday. I didn't want the boys to feel ashamed every time they looked at it. I couldn't lower the ceiling, and I couldn't raise the floor either. There was no way to undo the damage done. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, which turned the problem into the solution.
"We can't make the tree taller," I said. "But we can put it on a higher position."
Dan nodded his head sideways. "We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let's try it!"
When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.
"What a good idea!" he declared. "Why didn't I ever think of such a thing?"
John broke into a grin. Dan's chest swelled with pride.
小題1: The underlined part "grow six inches" (Para. 4) implies the brothers felt        .
A．proudB．nervousC．embarrassedD．scared
小題2:What happened after the brothers moved the Christmas tree into the living room?
A．They rushed to school.
B．They began to decorate the tree.
C．They got angry with each other.
D．They found the tree was cut short.
小題3:How could the short tree be turned into a perfect one?
A．By making the tree taller.
B．By lowering the ceiling.
C．By placing it on a coffee table.
D．By raising the floor.
小題4:What Bob said in the last but one paragraph (the underlined part)showed        .
A．he was a little disappointed
B．he was too stupid to think of the idea
C．he appreciated what the brothers had done
D．he should not have given them the task

Mondays are usually pretty busy for me.

I     right across my apartment the previous night but it wasn’t there that morning.
This was at 8:00 am in the morning. I made      to all the towing（拖）places, police stations all the time thinking that it was towed by     . By around 10:00 am, I couldn’t find it anywhere and the policemen decided that it was      stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely     .
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at an enterprise      to realize that my license was missing too along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole     and he was so sorry for me that he     to take me to the nearest DMV（車管局）and get a duplicate（副本的）   . I was totally surprised.

I was      the whole day because of the continuous events that happened to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a     stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the misfortunes of the day. I was so     by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar      . I took some smiley shaped chocolates and     them on some of my colleague’s desks.
This is still a lot     out there in the world. We just need to take the time to discover it.

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two­year­old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.
