When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.

Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（閣樓）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.

My father then set out to sell it. Eventually, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.

My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.

1.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?

A. The author. B. The author’s father.

C. The girl. D.The girl’s mother

2.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?

A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.

B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.

C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.

D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.

3. The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.

A. named B. treated

C. proved D. described

4. According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?

A. To meet the author himself.

B. To sell the O. Henry story.

C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.

D. To give money to the girl.

Sometimes two very different individuals (個體)become the best friends. For example,, who could have thought that a spider would become friends with a pig? But in American writer E.B.White’ novel Charlotte’s Web, this is exactly what happens

Wibur the pig grows up in a barn(谷倉) and makes many friends, including a spider called Charlotte. One day a sheep tells Wibur that he will finally be served up as dinner. But Charlotte decides to save her friend. To help Wibur，Charlotte writes words like “terrific”, “radiant” and “humble” on her web to praise Wibur. This makes the farmer believe that is too important to kill.Wibur is saved, but Charlotte is so tired that she dies.

The book was first published in 1952. In over 60 years Charlotte has become one of the most famous spiders of all time. She teaches us about love and promise. “She is very, very loving under that crusty(暴躁),that ugly look,” Peter Neumeyer, writer of The Annotated Charlott’s Web

The book’s success drew the attention of Hollywood filmmakers , however, they wanted a happier ending. White was strongly against this idea and as a result the film, like the book, ends with Charlotte’s death.

Jen Doll, reporter with The Atlantic, believe that “death is a part of life”. She says this is one of the main messages of the book.

As Charlotte tells Wibur, “You have been my friend. That in itself is a wonderful thing. I wove(紡織)my webs for you because I like you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while and then we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess(雜亂), with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a little. God knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”

1.Which of the following about the story is TRUE?

A.It’s a good example of how differences make us different

B.It encourages children to love their family and friends

C.The farmer kills Wibur as dinner

D.Charlotte is loving and helpful although she is ugly

2.What is the disagreement about Charlotte’s Web between Hollywood filmmaker and White?

A.How Charlotte makes friends with Wibur

B.How to make Charlotte lovely

C.Whether Charrlotte should die

D.Whether Wibur should be killed

3.In the last paragraph, Charlotte’s main message is that _________

A.life could be boring and troublesome

B.friendship is more important than life

C.dying for a good cause is worthwhile(值得的)

D.life is like a web

“Clean your plate!” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’s accompanied by an appeal(呼吁): “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa.” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of “cleaning the plate’, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.

According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(胃口,食欲). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.

Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion(一分,份額) sizes began (or grew) in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline(腰圍) began to expand.

Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.

It’s not that working-class Americans don’t want to eat healthily. It’s just that, “after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.”

1.Parents in the United States tend to ask their children _______.

A. not to save food

B. to wash the dishes

C. not to eat too much

D. not to waste food

2.Why do American restaurants serve large portions?

A. Because Americans associate quantity with value.

B. Because Americans have big bellies.

C. Because Americans are good eaters.

D. Because Americans are greedy.

3.Which of the following is NOT true of working-class Americans?

A. They work long hours.

B. They live from paycheck to paycheck.

C. They don’t want to be healthy eaters.

D. They want to save money for their children.

4.What happened in the 1970s?

A. The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer.

B. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.

C. The United Stated produced more grain than needed.

D. The American waistline started to expand.
