Ever since I was little I loved doing things for other people. As I got older I began doing random ( 隨意的 ) things for people. For example, during holidays, such as Christmas, I would make an extra   21  along with the ones for my relatives. Then I would go and find someone in the grocery store and just hand it to them and walk away. It was so much fun. I admit,   22 , the first time I did it I was so   23 . I didn’t know who to give the card to. So I said a little prayer and knew that the   24  person would just appear. About that time an elderly man ran   25  me with his shopping cart. It was an accident, and he   26  a million times. We smiled and he walked away, and I knew that he was the one.  Later I found him in a different isle(過(guò)道), handed him the card, and smiled. I said Happy Holidays, and then walked away. It was so great, and the   27  I had afterwards was unexplainable.
Then one day I came across your website (the coolest website ever) and   28  some Smile Cards. When they came in, I started a new project. When I go into a store, I locate a person who I think needs a   29 . Then, I buy a flower, a carnation, to be exact, and   30  it in the most beautiful paper they have. I tie lots of ribbons on it to make it   31 , and then slip the smile card into an envelope and   32  it to the flower. After that, I pay for it and explain to the cashier   33  it is to go to (I live in a pretty small town so it’s easy to get the help of the cashiers). They then give it to that person when they come through.. Once in a while I’ll buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier. That gets smiles.
My favorite time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the   34  somewhat confused. I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly once. When she came to the check out (I was watching from outside) her face   35  and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen. Later that week the cashier whom I had had   36  me told me that the lady had been so surprised and while she was walking out with the grocery bag to her car, she was planning what she was going to do for someone else. It was awesome.
I absolutely love the random acts of kindness cards. I   37  at least two in my purse and others in my car, locker and everywhere I go. As I mentioned, my club, STARS, is doing a Random Acts of Kindness Project with the smile cards so they also are using them. I look forward to hearing about their success. It’s really great. I   38  used them in school. I bought my entire math class cans of pop after lunch one day. They came in from lunch and a can of pop and a smile card were setting   39  that day. It totally lightened the mood in the class that day   40  we were studying for a test. Thank you for all of the help that you provide. The smile cards are a great program that brings smiles into the lives of many!

After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didn’t have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my father’s, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.
I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really a mazed at what I saw.
Most curious of all, there was no quality control at all. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, and even a sleeve sometimes!
The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadn’t gone on strike.
Furthermore, the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly（組裝）line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as "Big Jim", who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do; therefore, a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasn’t fired.
After I made observations for a week, Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings.
小題1:The shirts from Mr. Hobbs’ factory can be described as ____.
A．of low qualityB．of high qualityC．fashionableD．unfashionable
小題2:Why did Mr. Hobbs ask the writer to the factory?
A．The factory was too big.
B．The factory was not producing fast enough.
C．The factory was not big enough.
D．The writer was a college graduate.
小題3:Which is not likely to happen in the factory?
A．The workers will have more rest in the day.
B．Someone will examine the final product.
C．New machines will be bought.
D．The factory will be repainted.
小題4:Big Jim may get fired mainly because ____.
A．he was slow
B．he wasted much time
C．he was absent-minded
D．the work flow was irregular

On the night of May 9, 2011, musician Gao Xiaosong ran his car into three other cars in Beijing.
But it wasn’t just a car accident—he was drunk(喝醉的).
Now, Gao has to go to prison (監(jiān)獄) for six months and pay a 4,000 yuan fine.
Gao is the first star to be punished under China’s new drunk driving law.
From May 1 on, drunk drivers will pay a fine, and be banned from driving for five years or even forever.
Drunk driving has become a serious social problem in China.According to the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), police caught more than half a million drunk drivers last year, a 68 % increase from 2009.
The new law sees drunk driving as a crime.
In the West, drunk driving is also a crime. In the US, for example, if the police catch a drunk driver, the driver will pay a fine, lose his or her license (駕照) and even go to prison. If the driver wants to drive again, he or she must do public service, and take part in educational programs.
You may think: drunk driving is a crime? Isn’t this law too unkind? But experts say, “Not at all.”
“It is to protect people’s rights to life and health,” Li Gang, lawyer in Chengdu, told China Daily. “Drunk driving is very dangerous. No matter what the results are, it should not be allowed.”
小題1:Mr. Gao ran his car into three other cars because _________.
A．there was something wrong with his car
B．he went home too late
C．he drank too much wine
D．the road was too crowded
小題2:What does the underlined word “fine” in the third paragraph refer to(指)?
A．Health.B．Traffic.C．Weather.D．Money.
小題3:When did the new law come into use?
A．On May 1, 2010.B．On May 1, 2011.C． On May 1, 2009D．On May 9, 2011.
小題4:What do experts think of the new law?
A．Drunk driving is a crime.
B．The law is not kind to drunk drivers.
C．Driving has become a serious problem.
D．The law is too strict.
小題5: Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
A．Li Gang from Chengdu doesn’t like the law.

Teens are more likely to behave badly if their parents expect them to，a new US study has found.
“Parents who believe they are simply being realistic might actually be having a bad effect on their children，” Christy Buchanan，a teacher at Wake Forest University and one of the authors of the study，said. “Bad expectations on the part of both parents and children predict more rebellious (叛逆的) behaviors later on.”
The finding came from a study of more than 250 sixth­ and seventh­graders and their mothers. They were examined at the start of the study and again one year later. If kids’ mothers expected them to take more risks and be more rebellious，higher chances of risky behavior were seen.This_was_also_true when kids had bad expectations of themselves.
“Sometimes parents expect more negative behavior from their children than they should based on the children’s history of behavior，” Buchanan said.Parents shouldn’t be naive (無(wú)知的) about the possibility of bad behavior，she said，but it’s also a mistake to think that children who are well­behaved will naturally become rebellious at the age of 13.
“By thinking risk­taking or rebelliousness is normal for teenagers and showing that to their children，parents might add to other messages from society that make teenagers feel that they are strange if they are not willing to take risks or break laws，” she said.“This can mean，for example，that when parents expect teens to drink before they turn 21 or to do other risky behaviors，kids are less likely to refuse to do so later in their lives.”
On the other hand，parents’ expectations that teens can exhibit good behaviors and refuse to behave badly or to take risks could help reduce the possibility of bad behavior，Buchanan said.“As a parent，you should put expectations on your children carefully.”
小題1:The passage is centered around the topic of________.
A．parental rights
B．children’s habits
C．parental education
D．parent­children relationship
小題2:What do we know about the study?
A．Only mothers were examined.
B．Participants were examined twice.
C．250 people were examined in the study.
D．Christy Buchanan was the only author of the study.
小題3:What does the underlined part “This was also true” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The kids were more likely to take dangerous behavior.
B．The kids would have bad expectations of their parents.
C．The kids were likely to go against their mothers.
D．Mothers expected their kids to behave badly.
小題4:Children may be more rebellious if________.
A．they know parents think risk­taking is normal
B．parents put little expectation on them
C．they behave well before they turn 13
D．they are asked not to take risks
小題5:What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．Risk­taking is normal for teens.
B．Why are my teens behaving badly?
C．Don’t expect too much from your teens.
D．Bad expectations lead to bad­behaving teens.

Betty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa,talking,go out to a ballgame,come back three and a half hours later,and they’re still sitting on the sofa?Talking?
What in the world,Harold wonders,do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs.Talk?We’re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship,psychologist Lilian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age,their job,their sex,the results were completely clear:women have more friendships than men,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.”
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend,and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend,most trusted person,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(感情危機(jī)).“Most women,”says Rubin,“identified at least one,usually more,trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”
“In general,”writes Rubin in her new book,“women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support,but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.”For the most part,Rubin says,interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with  the social requirements of “manly behavior.”
“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,”Robin writes,“the two share little about their innermost feelings.Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”
小題1:What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that_____.
A．he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
B．women show little interest in ballgames
C．women have so much to share
D．he finds his wife difficult to talk to
小題2:Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to  turn to _____.
A．a(chǎn) male friend B．her parents C．a(chǎn) female friend D．her husband
小題3:According to the text,which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?
A．Ending his marriage without good reason.
B．Complaining about his marriage trouble.
C．Spending too much time with his friends.
D．Going out to ballgames too often.
小題4:Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?
A．Women are more serious than men about marriage.
B．Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.
C．Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.
D．Women depend on others in making decisions.
小題5:The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around_____.
A．friendships of men and women
B．happy and successful marriages
C．emotional problems in marriage
D．interactions between men and women

I stood outside New York's Madison Square Garden and just stared, almost speechless. I was a farm boy from County Kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as I had in the world.
From the day I was born, there was a problem. The doctors at the Dublin hospital told my parents I had phocomelia, a deformity that affected both legs below the knee, which were outward and shorter than normal and each foot had just three toes.
Life was tough. I couldn't stand, much less walk. I rarely, left the farmhouse---and then only in someone's arms. Mam bundled me up whenever she took me to town, no matter the season.
“The world will see him when he can walk,” she told Dad. “And he will walk.”
Mam devoted herself to helping me. She tried everything to get me on my feet. When I was three, she and Dad took me to a clinic in Dublin.
A few weeks later we returned to Dublin with my artificial limbs (肢). Back home I practiced walking with my new limbs.
“There's nothing anyone can do but you can't,” Mam said. “You and I are going to walk through town.”
The next day Mam dressed me in my finest clothes. She wore a summer dress and fixed her hair and makeup. Dad drove us to the church. We stepped out of the car. Mam took my hand. “Hold your head up high, now, Ronan,” she said.
We walked 300 meters to the post office. It was the farthest I'd walked, and I was sweating from the effort. Then we left the post office and continued down the street, Mam's eyes shining with a mother's pride.
That night, back on our farm, I lay exhausted on my bed. It meant nothing, though, compared to what I'd done on my walk.
Then I began to pursue my dream of singing. And at every step Mam's words came back to me—Ronan, you can do anything anyone else can do—and the faith she had in God, who would help me do it.
I've sung from the grandest stages in Europe, to music played by the world's finest musicians. That night, I stood at the Madison Square Garden, with Mam's words chiming in my ears. Then I began singing. I couldn't feel the pulse of the music in my feet, but I felt it deep in my heart, the same place where Mam's promise lived.
小題1:What was the problem with the author as a baby?
A．He was expected unable to walk.
B．He was born outward in character.
C．He had a problem with listening.
D．He was shorter than a normal baby.
小題2:The underlined word “deformity” in the second paragraph most probably means _______.
A．shortcomingB．disadvantageC．disabilityD．delay
小題3:Why did Mam dress him and herself in finest clothes?
A．To hide their depressed feeling.
B．To indicate it an unusual day.
C．To show off their clothes.
D．To celebrate his successful operation.
小題4:From the story we may conclude that his mother was _______.
A．determinedB．stubbornC．generousD．distinguished
小題5:According to the writer, what mattered most in his success?
A．His consistent effort.B．His talent for music.
C．His countless failures.D．His mother's promise.
