We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 11  we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than  12  and making a sale.
One lesson stands out in my  13 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was  14  a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed （磨破）and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to   15  to buy anything. He looked   16  the toy section, picked up this item and   17 , and carefully put them   18  in their place.
Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes   19  and the dimple（酒窩）in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas _20____ to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his   21  and look around. He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy   22 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”
“How much you got?” Dad asked.
The little boy held out his hand and  23  it. His hand was creased(起皺) with   24  lines of dirt from holding his  25  too tightly. In his hand  26  two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’ll just  27  it,” Dad said as he   28  the sale. Dad’s reply still   29  in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a   30 .

Two men dressed as police officers stole about ＄200 million worth of art from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum early this morning.
The two burglars knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the two security guards on duty that there was a disturbance in the area. The guards then made the very serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two burglars tied the guards up with tape.
The two men stole 11 paintings and an ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt. A maintenance（保衛(wèi)）worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police.
One of the greatest losses was Rembrandt’s works, “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee.” It was a very popular attraction at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.
Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact be much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the market for nearly a century. This is considered to be the biggest theft ever in the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the burglars will demand a ransom for the paintings or try to sell them to a private collector.
Museum officials and police are not sure why the burglars chose certain works and not others. There are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.
Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museum’s security system. They believe that this is a “professional job,” because the people involved were well prepared and knew what they wanted.
小題1:How did the two burglars get into the museum?
A．They broke into the museum.
B．They had the key to the museum.
C．They tied the guards up with tape.
D．The security guards opened the door for them.
小題2:According to the passage, “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee” was the following except that           .
A．it was the most valuable work at the museum
B．it was Rembrandt’s works
C．it was very attractive to visitors
D．it was one of the greatest losses
小題3:Which of the following best explains “demand a ransom for the paintings”?
A．Ask for money to give the paintings back.
B．Send the paintings to some foreign country.
C．Hide the paintings in a secret place.
D．Change them into more valuable things
小題4:The investigators believe that this is a “professional job” because the burglars        .
A．were dressed as police officers
B．didn’t steal the most valuable works
C．liked Rembrandt’s work and made careful plans about the theft
D．made careful plans about the theft

The story happened years ago，when my daughter was still little.

After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled, Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’?”
Impressed—she was a National Merit(全國英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil—Yaledid, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for The Yale Daily News “and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.
On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”, Ms. Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it. ”
Ms. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life. There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism, her mother said.
小題1:From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 we can infer that       .
A．Yale University was her last choice
B．Yale must keep its promise to Marie
C．Marie Colvin was confident of herself
D．Marie Colvin was good at persuading
小題2:Marie Colvin’s story suggests some of the best qualities of being a journalist are       .
A．patience and confidence
B．honesty and curiosity
C．flexibility and creativity
D．determination and courage
小題3:Which of the following is the correct order to describe Marie Colvin’s life?
a. She was doing a story in Syria and got killed.  
b. She was admitted to Yale University.
c. She studied in Brazil as an exchange student.
d. She was hired by The Sunday Times of London.
e. She began to take an interest in journalism.
A．d→e→c→a→bB．c→b→e→d→a
C．e→d→c→b→aD．b→c→d→e→a
小題4:What can be the best title of the text?
A．Covering Stories in a Dangerous Conflict Area
B．Applying for Top Universities, a Successful Case
C．Recalling Her Daughter, a Journalist Killed in Syria

Early one morning the sub-inspector at a station at the other end of the town rang me. An elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it? I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephant's doings. It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours' journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebody's bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over fruit¬stalls. I came round the hut and saw a man's dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and   grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent. As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot for him. You could see the pain of it knocking the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and only time. And then down he came, with a crash that shook the ground.
小題1:Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?
A．He was an Indian.
B．He knew elephants well.
C．He was not a local villager.
D．He was the owner of the elephant.
小題2:The elephant made so much trouble because ________.
A．its owner treated him cruelly
B．it got out of control
C．it hated the village people
D．it was a wild elephant
小題3:The underlined words “the peacebreaker” in Paragraph 4 refer to ________.
A．the elephantB．the dead man
C．the authorD．the sub¬inspector
小題4:It can be inferred that the author felt ________ when he shot the elephant.
A．excitedB．sadC．frightenedD．happy
