Let me take you back a couple of years. Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and   36  me yet. We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware    37___ . No automatic door, not a computer in the building. It was one that I went to fairly often. As we entered the door, two sounds    38  us. The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door. The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our   39   .
“Good afternoon, Ryan,”     40    the cheerful greeting. Andy was a very   41    sort of owner. He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.
We walked across the old wood floor. Andy asked us what he could help us with. I told him we were      42   a spring(彈簧). He very patiently replied, “l(fā) have lots of springs. You’re going to need to be more specific.”
“Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door.”
“That’s it. A screen door spring, right down there. ” We   43  where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were. And knew his store, and his products. That was why I came here instead of Meijer. The service couldn’t be beaten. The price; Yes. But service and  44    ;No.
I picked up one and followed him to the    45   .
He figured up the price, doing the math in his head, “ $1.88,with tax comes to $1. 99. ”
“ Put it on my dad’s account. ”
He nodded and smiled, “ Good dad’s account. ” He smiled. “I don’t know what you boys would do    46    dad’s account! ”
He handed me the ticket and as I    47    it, I asked, “You really trust my signature?”
His reply surprised,_   48    delighted me. “ When I can’t trust Jerry Hoover’s boys, I can trust nobody! ”
We left, and the brain immediately started to forget things, in order of importance. But what Andy said that day rang in my ears. And it rings in my ears today. That’s a tall order to live up to. It’s a high standard of    49   .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to enjoy the benefits. But on account of this, I must maintain that fame. And that’s     50    business.

                              A
When you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world. Each element of your world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others. You cannot affect the success of others; you can affect your own success.
Success is very much achievable to everybody. Believe that and you have taken the first step. If you do not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task. However, believing in your ability to achieve whatever you want to succeed in is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout your journey to success.
There are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your immediate control. Once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming successful in a range of activities.
What is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate your own achievements. Appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination to succeed.
Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable tar gets can all play an important role.
All these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed. But it is up to you to get things started. Those who do not start travel nowhere. For others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment.
小題1:56. According to the passage, if you want to achieve success, what should you do first?
A．Don’t compare with others.B．Bring everything under control.
C．Find out what you have in mind.D．Feel confident about your ability.
小題2:57. Why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage?
A．It will allow you to recover from past failures.
B．It will remind you of the vision of your future.
C．It will motivate you to continue pursuing success.
D．It will help you develop your characteristics in everything.
小題3:58. The underlined word“setbacks”（in paragraph 5）probably means ________.
A．failuresB．troublesC．hesitationD．depression
小題4:59. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．If you are stuck where you are, you cannot travel far.
B．If you don’t start trying, you’ll never embrace success.
C．If you are brave enough, you can get whatever you want.
D．If you don’t study, you can never reach the destination.

Thid is a true story of a mother’s sacrifice(犧牲) in an earthquake.
When the rescuer reached the ruins of a young man’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. Her pose was somehow strange—she knelt(跪) on the ground like a person who was worshiping(禱告);her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. However, the cold and stiff body told them that she had passed away for sure.
The rescuers left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reason, the team leader was driven by a strong force to go back to the ruined house. Again, he knelt down to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement, “A child! There is a child1”
The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3-month-old little boy wrapped in a blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made great sacrifice in order to save her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.

A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,”she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.
Heavily drugged with sleep because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly(隱約) saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out with his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s weak ones, expressing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.
All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward(病房), holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest a while. He refused. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only holding tightly to his son all through the night. Along towards dawn, the old man died.
The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.“Who was that man?”he asked. The nurse was surprised. “He was your father,”she answered. “No, he wasn’t,”the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.”“Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?”asked the nurse. “I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”he answered.
小題1:Why did the nurse take the Marine to the old man’s bed?
A．Because he was the old man’s son.
B．Because she knew that he was a warm-hearted man.
C．Because she couldn’t find anyone else there.
D．Because she thought he was the old man’s son.
小題2:Why did the old man hold the Marine’s hand all through the night?
A．Because he knew he would die the next day.
B．Because he hadn’t seen his son for a long time.
C．Because he was dying and mistook him for his son.
D．Because he enjoyed doing that and so did the Marine.
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The Marine didn’t know the old man at all.
B．The nurse was careless and made a mistake.
C．The Marine happened to be the old man’s son’s friend.
D．The old man passed away peacefully and contentedly.
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．The next time someone needs you, be there.
B．All the soldiers are as kind as the Marine.
C．We’d better not correct someone else’s mistakes.
D．The young should accompany their parents all the time.

My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it, and I had to practice it a thousand times． I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound told me we were having a baby．
Finally, my son was born.
The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.
I stood up, holding my breath． She showed me my baby． “My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”
But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will swear they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.
People ask me, “What did you feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.
After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then out of the blue, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced.
“Dad,” I whispered.
“My son,” my heart heard him saying.
Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.
“My son,” I imagined him saying.
“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.
At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father. The old man in front of me seemed to agree. He smiled and we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever.
小題1:Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．His son called him “Dad” when the writer called him “My son”．
B．All the people didn’t hear the baby say except the writer．
C．Sanchez is the writer’s family name．
D．The baby was taken away because the nurse found there was a mistake．
小題2:The author couldn’t tell how he felt at the moment because ________．
A．he was a writer
B．he was too excited
C．he was too nervous
D．it’s a feeling too complex to express
小題3:We can learn the following from the passage EXCEPT that ________．
A．the author got his first baby
B．he probably had a lung disease
C．the author didn’t really hear “Daaaaad” from his baby
D．the baby would change the author’s life
小題4:Why was the writer sure he was going to be a great father?

“I've changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back." Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I' m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven' t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑釁者)，and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It's a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword (劍), and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
小題1:According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph ________.
A．explains the importance of a telescope
B．shows the writer's pity on the kid
C．a(chǎn)cts as an introduction to the discussion
D．makes a clear statement of the writer's views
小題2:In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us ________.
A．how much he misses his parents now
B．why his parents often appear in his dream
C．when Lucien will get over all his sadness
D．how proud he was when he succeeded in life
小題3:In the writer's opinion, the value of a person’s life is ________.
A．to leave behind a precious memory to the people related
B．to have a high sense of duty to the whole society
C．to care what others will remember and treasure
D．to share happiness and sadness with his family
小題4:What feeling did the author’s mother express in her reply?
A．Proud. B．Happy.C．Disappointed. D．Worried
