As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to  36  a little pocket money.
One day I  37  on the door of an elderly woman and asked  38  she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in  39  and I showed her my worn  40 , which no longer kept me warm. She  41  me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be  42  now.” She then  43  a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a  44  job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to  45  new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to  46  me with your report card and I will  47  you when I see you have worked hard and have some good  48 . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much  49  as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and  50  so much money that it was  51  for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she  52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I  53  her that I had an “A”.
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge  54 this wonderful lady made over my life with her  55 . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.

Last year, I met a little boy to whom my heart went out. He would talk to me every single day, and always seemed to have a smile on his face. His problem was that he stuttered (口吃) extremely badly when he tried to talk. It was really hard to understand what he was saying, although he loved to tell big tales!
One morning, I was talking to the teachers who ran the school store. The boy stopped by and said hello to all of us. Afterwards they told me that the boy would stop every day to ask if they would be there the next day. But of course, he never had money to buy anything.
I decided that I would get him a little something just as a surprise. So I picked out a pencil, a rubber, and a small notebook for just $1.00. I cannot describe the look on his face when I gave him the three little things. Then, without a stutter, he loudly said, "Thank you so much!" and just kept repeating, "Thank you! Thank you!" He gave me a big hug before going off to class.
I was touched to see someone appreciate something that much. As he walked off, he was showing his new stuff to other kids walking to class. I have to say that I have never spent a dollar that would mean so much to me.
小題1:Why did the boy never buy anything from the store?
A．Because he couldn’t make himself understood.
B．Because the teachers were unwilling to sell him anything.
C．Because he couldn’t afford anything.
D．Because he could never decide what to buy.
小題2:What do we learn from the third paragraph?
A．Actually the boy had no stutter at all.
B．The boy was too excited to stutter at the moment.
C．What the author had bought helped the boy speak normally.
D．The author wanted to find out whether the boy really had a stutter.
小題3:Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．A Stuttering Boy
B．Kindness Can Do Wonders
C．One Dollar Can Buy Anything
D．The Best Dollar I Have Spent
小題4:What is the boy’s attitude to his life?
A．a(chǎn)ctiveB．passiveC．disappointedD．fearful

John once told me a story about his friend, Michael. Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a convict (罪犯) returning home from a prison far away. What he did had brought shame (羞恥) on his family, and they had neither visited him nor written to him. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.
When he was set free he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal (信號) for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had forgiven (原諒) him, they were to put up a white ribbon (絲帶) in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn't want him back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.
As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his hand on the young convict’s shoulder, "There it is," His eyes was filled with sudden tears. "It’s all right. The whole tree is white with ribbons."
小題1:According to the passage, the white ribbon in the big apple tree means ________.
A．pleasure B．forgiveness(原諒）C．happiness D．education
小題2:The word "suspense" underlined in the last paragraph can best be replaced by ________.
A．a(chǎn)ngerB．interestC．worry D．happiness
小題3:Why was Michael asked to watch for the apple tree?
A．The young man was afraid that he was refused by his family.
B．The young man’s seat was far from the window.
C．The young man was afraid of seeing the white ribbons in the tree.
D．The young man was sure that his family would accept him.
小題4:Why did Michael cry at the end of the story?
A．The young man couldn’t live with his family.
B．There were many white ribbons on the apple tree.
C．He was afraid.
D．The young man was very sad.

He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family’s   cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
　　 On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch (鱸魚)  with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure（魚餌） and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.
　　When his peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
　　Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
　　“You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
　　“Dad!” cried the boy.
　　“There will be other fish,” said his father.
　　“Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.
　　He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision was not negotiable（可協(xié)商的）. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.
　　The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
　　That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father’s cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
　　And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics (道德規(guī)范).
小題1: Why did the father ask his son to put the perch back?
A．Because the father disliked the perch.
B．Because the father was afraid of being fined
C．Because the ethics must be obeyed.
D．Because the son was more experienced in fishing than his father.
小題2:When does the architect (the father’s son) think of that perch put back?
A．When he takes his own and son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
B．When he builds many famous buildings.
C．When he pays a visit to his old father.
D．When he faces some problems about ethics.
小題3:Which word can not be used to describe the boy’s father?
A．honestB．noble-mindedC．caringD．generous
