Chuck was thirteen when he came home from the hospital. He came home not because he was getting better but because he wanted to be with people he knew and loved when he died. I came by the house to visit him and his family several times a week during his treatment. On most of my visits, Chuck was very weak. But the last time I saw him alive, he was awake. “I have got something for you.” He pulled out a piece of crumpled (弄皺的) paper from under his pillow. “I want you to give this to my mom and dad after I die. You’ll know when it’s right, I guess, won’t you?”
“What is it?” I asked. “It’s a list of all the fun we had, and all the happy time when we laughed.” I almost gasped in great surprise.
“Like what?” I asked quietly, trying to regain my calmness.
“Like the time when Mom, Dad, Chrissie, Linda and me were dressed up as fruits and Dad was driving us to a costume party. Dad was a bunch of grapes and I was an apple, and the others were different things like bananas and pears.”
And a policewoman pulled Dad over for speeding. When the policewoman came up to the car, she looked and started laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up. And we all started laughing and she said, “Where are you all heading — a salad bar?” Dad said he was sorry to be speeding, but his kids were getting so ripe（成熟的） that they were starting to draw flies. And she laughed till she had to take off her dark glasses and wiped tears from her eyes.”
Chuck laughed and so did I. The list was full of laughing and fun. What a wonderful gift, I thought.
小題1:Why did Chuck go home from the hospital?
A．He had been cured by the doctors.
B．He got better and better.
C．He missed his friends and teachers.
D．He wanted to be with people who he knew and loved when he died.
小題2:What did Chuck write on the list?
A．What to do after his death. B．His thoughts about fear, anger and disappointment.
C．What to do before his death. D．All the happy time he had with his family.
小題3: Why did the policewoman laugh when she looked into the car?
A．Because she mistook the children for fruits.
B．Because she saw some flies around the children.
C．Because she was frightened.
D．Because the children were dressed in a funny way.
小題4: The underlined expression “pulled Dad over” probably here means “________”.
A．stopped DadB．punished Dad
C．put Dad into prisonD．knocked Dad down

Morning and afternoon, we went diving and rolled into the clear water    32  down like peas in honey. In the evenings, we spent time on the pier, watching the sun set.

Suddenly all the lights on that crowded underground train went out. Then it stopped in that dark tunnel(隧道).
We waited. We expected the lights to come on again soon. But nothing happened. Then I began to smell something. Yes, I could smell smoke. So I asked myself, “Is this train on fire?” People around me then began to cry out in fear. “The train is on fire!” they cried.
Then the woman standing next to me suddenly fell on the floor. I realized she was overcome by the smoke. Then I saw flames appearing. “If something does not happen soon,” I said to myself, “I will be burnt alive!”
But as I stood there in the dark in that crowded burning train, I could see no way to escape. I thought, “No one can save me from certain death but God. Only God can make a way for any of us to escape death in this train.”
Before the flames reached me, I found the open door and I climbed out of the train into the dark tunnel. Then as quickly as I could, I ran from the burning train down the tunnel. Now as I ran I could hear hundreds of people that were locked in that burning train, crying out for help. I knew I could do nothing to help them, so I ran on.
Then for two hours I kept walking in that dark train tunnel. At last I saw a light in the distance. I asked myself “Why did God enable me to escape death?” I decided, “God must have a purpose for saving my life. He must want me to help other people experience what He could do for them.”

Dear Abby,
This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column for many years. I need an outside opinion.
I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly loved children--all under the age of 5--and I'm upset with some of their parenting ways.
For example: They lock the doors to their children's bedrooms at night because the children might get out of their beds and wander around the house, and we may not hear them."
If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty
word, all three are given hot sauce (辣醬汁) in the mouth. I know these parents love their children very much, but are these ways of disciplining them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).
--- Gram
Dear Gram,
Children's bedroom doors should not be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare (噩夢).Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a good way to make them grow up to hate each other. Children who use "naughty" words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth-they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the "naughty" word. 
小題1:Gram's daughter _____________.
A．is very strict with her childrenB．does not love her three children
C．a(chǎn)lways punishes her children at nightD．often gives her children hot sauce
小題2: Gram writes the letter in order to ____________.
A．disclose her daughter's ways as a mother
B．criticize her daughter's ways as a mother
C．express her anger about her daughter s ways as a mom
D．get others' opinion about her daughter's ways as a mom
小題3: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Gram seems to care for her grand children very much.
B．Gram is against some of her daughter's ways as a mom.
C．Abby is for only one of Gram's daughter's ways as a mom.
D．Abby agrees with Gram about her daughter's ways as a mom.

My friend Dr. Dong had a wonderful chance to go to Seattle to present a paper at a professional meeting. When he got back to Beijing, he told me his experience.
Dr. Dong enjoyed his first days very much. At the medical conference, he felt quite confident in his area of research and was able to perform well in his presentation. But after a few days, he began to feel uncomfortable. His medical English was fine, but the social communication skills were different.
He got more and more worried that he was misunderstanding simple English greetings and table talk conventions(習(xí)俗). When someone greeted him with, “Hi, how’s it going?” he thought they had asked him “Where are you going?” and answered with the name of the conference hall, only to get a surprised stare from them. At a western style dinner, a colleague asked, “So how’re you enjoyin’ the States?” he thought he heard, “how are you enjoying your steak?” and answered that he was eating chicken, not beef. That time, they smiled, and patiently repeated the question, then both laughed at the error.
By the end of the meetings, Dr. Dong felt a deep sense of “cultural stress” and was worn out from having to pay attention to so many new expressions and ways of dealing with things. He felt his handshake was not as firm as Americans’, found that people reacted unusually when he modestly insisted his English was not good after they complimented(稱贊) him, didn’t know how to accept dinner invitations properly and therefore missed out on going to several lunches, and so on. Eventually, he was so confused that he felt the full impact of “culture shock”.
小題1:Why did Dr. Dong travel to Seattle?
A．To improve his spoken English.B．To experience culture shock.
C．To give lectures on his research. D．To attend a medical conference.
小題2: Which of the following best describes Dr. Dong’s experience in Seattle?
A．Comfortable—very uncomfortable—uncomfortable.
B．comfortable—very uncomfortable—comfortable.
C．Comfortable—uncomfortable – very uncomfortable.
D．Comfortable—uncomfortable – very comfortable.
小題3:Dr. Dong felt a deep sense of “cultural stress” mainly because_______.
A．he was too modestB．he didn’t understand cultural differences
C．he lacked confidenceD．he was not good at English listening
