That warm day was the only day of the week without rain．I opened the door,took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine．Suddenly,I noticed that the house near mine had been sold．An elderly lady was in front of the door,with some beautiful flowers beside her．I walked to her．She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair．
“Hi！My name is Karmen,”I said smiling brightly at the old lady．She smiled back and said,“Hello,Karmen．I ’m Henrietta．”Her voice was very strong for someone at her age．Later，I learned she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her．From that day on,I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food．A year passed,and I considered Henrietta to be one of my best friends．
One day,I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door,but there was no answer．I knocked again,and she still didn’t turn up．So I let myself in,using the key she had given me．I checked her living room and then her kitchen．I finally went into her bedroom,and she was lying peacefully on her bed．Beside her there were two notes．One was her will（遺囑）,which said all that she had would be given to me．The other was a thank-you note．I went to her bedside and cried sadly．
Though several years have gone by,I still miss her deeply．Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house,I remember the wonderful friendship we had．

As I was busy working on my work plan in my bedroom, I could hear my four children playing upstairs. Suddenly, I heard the children running down the stairs and shouting, “Freddie, Freddie.” I heard the word “window” and rushed outside, heart in mouth. My three-year old son Freddie was lying on his side on the ground. I cried for my husband Simon to dial 999 and within minutes the air ambulance arrived. They quickly took him in the helicopter. During the flight, Freddie was looking at me and I remember thinking was a good sign, but then his eyes began to roll. As the doctors tried to stabilize(穩(wěn)定) him, I couldn’t believe what was happening.
When we arrived at the hospital in Portsmouth, there were some doctors and nurses waiting for us and they immediately set to work on Freddie. I was hopelessly wishing everything would be alright, but Freddie had broken his skull in two places and blood clots were forming in his brain. He needed surgery(外科手術(shù)), and only a surgeon at another hospital in Bristol could do it. This meant another helicopter ride, but we couldn’t go with Freddie because there was no enough space. Simon and I drove the long 130 miles from our home in north Devon in silence. Neither of us dared say what we were thinking, “What if we get there and he’s dead?” “Is he going to be brain-damaged?”
Freddie was just coming out of surgery when we arrived. The surgeon said it had gone well. When I finally saw him, I hardly recognize my child—he was covered in tubes and there were wires coming out of his head.
On the third day, Simon went home to see our three girls and to pick up some clean clothes for us. While he was gone, the pressure in Freddie’s brain suddenly increased. He was taken into theater again and this time I fell apart. Luckily, the surgery managed to stabilize Freddie. After almost a week, Freddie was finally woken up. When he opened his eyes, he looked at me. He didn’t say anything, but I knew straight away that it was my old Freddie, and that he was going to be alright. Over the next two weeks, his recovery went well. After help with learning to swallow again and encouragement with speaking, he was soon playing with his Gruffalo cards and eating meals by himself.
I still don’t know how the accident happened, but we got some idea from our girls. Clearly Freddie and Minnie had been sitting on the window ledge, and Freddie must have opened it to look out and fallen 20 feet onto the ground below.
The guilt I feel is awful— for weeks I was full of “ if onlys”, and we put window locks everywhere. Six months later, although the accident seems a lifetime ago, it has changed me. I feel differently about life now. I’ve left my job to put my children first. I want to spend every minute with them.
小題1:The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 shows the author was ______________.
A．hopelessB．worriedC．curiousD．puzzled
小題2:Why did the author’s son have to be moved to another hospital in Bristol?
A．Because no surgeons were on duty in the first hospital that day.
B．Because the author wanted his son to stay in a hospital nearer her home.
C．Because no surgeons in the first hospital knew the injuries to the author’s son.
D．Because no surgeons in the first hospital could do surgery on the author’s son.
小題3:When the author finally saw her son, she could hardly recognize him probably because his
face_____________.
A．was seriously injured
B．was filled with small pipes
C．was too pale to be recognized
D．was covered by a piece of cloth
小題4:On the third day after being taken to the hospital, _____________.
A．the author’s son finally opened his eyes.
B．the situation of the author’s son suddenly worsened
C．the author’s son was finally out of danger
D．the author’s son did not need any more surgery
小題5:After the accident, what did the author probably learn?
A．Life is full of “if onlys”.
B．Being a single mother is not easy.
C．Children are more important than work.
D．Accidents can happen to every kid.

We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代溝). The name is new,but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”  There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened. “When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.” “Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”
小題1: The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so   that when everything is turned upside down he will _____.
A．lie on his stomachB．lie on his back
C．stand quietlyD．sit in peace
小題2:Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?

A few days ago, my sister Liz and I talked about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something for Father's Day. We talked about the times when we were        up and how Mom and Dad used to play the ‘good cop, bad cop’ thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were       . He raised us more by        than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n)        meaning that I never got, but Liz always        to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a skateboard and I        I was too old to ask money from my parents, so I worked at a burger joint (美式漢堡店). One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(氣喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the       . I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to start somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy ______in life, ‘Who knows, you might end up having to run a        or even own one when you grow up,’ said Dad. He        me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didn’t agree with it.
A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really        days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the        were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would        out. I couldn’t stand the        any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders       . The owner saw what I did and called me over around        time. He said that he was very       . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was        I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how insignificant or        it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it        a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life’s philosophy.

I felt excited, curious and nervous at the same time. I was excited because I would be skipping(跳級)two grades. I was curious because I didn't know how high school students were taught. However, I was most nervous at the idea that I would be doing high school homework.
I had just walked into the class when the bell rang. This wasn't a good start. But the kid in front of me looked very friendly. Luckily, since it was the first day of school, my teacher talked for about half of the period and  we just had the rest of the period to start the class. I didn't know what he was saying at first, but when I saw the problems on the paper, I knew what to do.
The next day, the kid said hi and I said hi back. We got into a conversation. It seemed that whenever I was talking to my friend, everyone stopped staring at (盯著看)me. Then the class started. It was easy. But I was still uncomfortable because I couldn't look around without meeting others’eyes, so I just kept my eyes on the whiteboard and on my textbook.
However, my friend didn't show up the next day, and the eighth graders just kept on staring at me. I didn't know why.
The next day everything changed. My friend was back to school. I was praised for my homework. Everyone stared at me less. Some started to be a little friendlier towards me. I felt at home at last here. My teachers also seemed pretty nice.

Where we live，on the eastern shore of Maryland，the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place，as do the white swans and the ducks. In autumn，they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year，snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens，if the river is at its narrowest，there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.
One morning，a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window，which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out，“There is a goose out there.”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose，very still，its wings folded tight to its sides，its feet frozen into the ice.
Then from the dark skies，she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now，with one hand against her mouth，unbelieving. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose，she feared that life it still had might be pecked(啄) out by those great swan bills.
Instead，those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down，again and again. It went on for a long time. At last，the goose’s head was lifted. Its body was pulled. Then the goose was free and stood on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then，as if it had cried，“I cannot fly.” Four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers. Slowly，the goose spread its wings as far as they would go，and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moment，and from it comes only one hopeful question：If so for birds，why not for man？
小題1:Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Why Not for Man?B．Graceful Swans
C．Swans’ Brave ActD．I Just Couldn’t Believe It!
小題2:What happened to the Canada goose?
A．It was deserted by other geese.
B．It was stuck in the ice.
C．It was wounded and couldn’t fly.
D．It was lost in the water.
小題3:At first the author’s friend was worried that________.
A．the swans would not help the Canada goose
B．she didn’t care about this matter any more
C．the swans wouldn’t identify with the Canada goose
D．the swans would peck the Canada goose to death
小題4:What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?
A．They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.
B．They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.
C．They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.
D．They stayed with it and protected it.
