There once lived a young man who was always unhappy and complained about his poverty. One day, he went to see a fortune teller to inquire how to become      16    . The fortune teller said, "Young man, you are already wealthy now."
"Where is my wealth?" the young man asked     17   .
"It is with you. Your     18    is (are) your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see all the     19   things in this world. You can read, study and learn. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your     20    are your wealth. You can go to any places..." the fortune teller said.
"You call these wealth? Everyone has them," the young man said.
"These are wealth. What you have now are not what others can luckily have. Are you     21    to give your eyes to me? I am willing to give you a lot of money to     22     for them," the fortune teller said.
"No, are you crazy? I am not going to exchange my eyes for money! They are     23    to me!" the young man     24    .
"Precisely, these are wealth to you. You will not exchange them for money. Furthermore, although a lot of people have their wealthy things, they do not     25    them or treasure them. They are not     26    to Heaven for giving them their wealth. They even complain that Heaven is unfair to them. Do you want to    27    one of them before you will treasure them?" the fortune teller said.
Everyone is wealthy. But we should not     28   it for granted. We need to treasure our wealth, take care of it and use it     29    . We should not overuse it because once it is     30    , it is gone forever. Remember it is our wealth that we do not want to lose.

健康的身體就是我們最大的財富。
小題1:他不安于貧困，去找算命先生自然是詢問如何致富。
小題2:四個選項中只有A項anxiously可以表現(xiàn)他迫不及待的心情。
小題3:根據(jù)下文“You use them to see this world.”可知應為eyes。
小題4:雖然四個選項所表示的都是眼睛可以看到的，但beautiful合乎算命先生說話的意思。
小題5:根據(jù)后面的“You can run very fast.”可知應為legs。
小題6:根據(jù)后面的“I am willing to give you…”及willing的用法可知選D項。
小題7:charge和change意思不符；buy后不跟for, 所以用exchange。
小題8:根據(jù)前面的一句“I am not going to exchange my eyes for money!”可知年輕人不愿意交換，可以推斷眼睛對他來說是重要的、寶貴的。所以選A。
小題9:從年輕人說話的語氣推斷他應該很生氣，所以沖著算卦先生大聲嚷道。yelled符合文中的情形。
小題10:realize為“意識到”，其他三個選項不妥。
小題11:對上蒼賜給我們的財富我們應該心懷感激，grateful符合文意。
小題12:根據(jù)上文可知應該選lose。
小題13:take…for granted是固定搭配。
小題14:根據(jù)上文“We need to treasure our wealth, take care of them…”推斷應該選B項。
小題15:聯(lián)系下一句“…they are gone forever.”可知應該選gone。gone是形容詞，表示動作的完成，不表示被動。

To Whom It May Concern:
On March 5, 2012 , I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit(松餅粉 ) from your store at Midfield Shopping Center. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”.
Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried prapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient(配料 ) . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce (沙司 ). I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes.
When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly “perfect”muffins.
I would appreciate a full refund(退款 ) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely ,
Michelle Bauer

The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …
It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (關鍵) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.
Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格內向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.
Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.
Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”
That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.
The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.
When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.
小題1:What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?
A．Lonely.B．Exciting.C．Wild.D．Busy
小題2:In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us         .
A．how she cared what her classmates thought
B．when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”
C．why many of her classmates disliked novels
D．how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her
小題3:Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?
A．To test whether she had a good memory.
B．To make her earn the respect of her classmates.
C．To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”
D．To guide her to build a good relationship with others.
小題4:How did the author feel when she made the presentation?
A．Comfortable.B．sad.C．Nervous.D．Confident.
小題5:What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To express her thanks to her teacher.
B．To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏見).
C．To introduce one of her favorite books.
D．To suggest the ways to gain confidence.
