We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had __36__ me to this spot in a small  town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered __37__.
“Look __38__, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my __39__ and looked down. I saw the square in the centre of the village. And I saw the crisscross(十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the __40__. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. __41__ is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go __42__ one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. __43__ that day I had begged my mother to do __44__ about the terrible lunches that were served at school. But she __45__ because she could not believe the lunches were as __46__ as I said.
When I __47__ my father for help, he would not help. __48__, he brought me to this high tower to __49__ me a lesson — the value of an open, searching mind. By the time we reached home, I had a __50__.
At school the next day, I __51__ poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to __52__ it to mother at dinner. The plan __53__ perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and said, “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day.
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working __54__ I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always __55__ me that there is more than one way to the square.

Before my recent graduation, the last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and   36   at three people and record their  37 .
Soon after we were given the  38   , my husband and I went out to McDonald’s one cold morning. We were standing in   39   , waiting to be  40   , when suddenly everyone around us began to back away. A feeling of  41  rose up inside of me as I wondered what happened.
As I   42  around I smelled a horrible dirty smell. Behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked at the short man close to me, he was smiling and his blue eyes searched for   43 .
He said “Good day” as he   44 the few coins. The waitress asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” That was all they could   45 .
I   46  felt the urge and actually hugged him. That was  47  I noticed all the eyes in the restaurant were set on  48 . I smiled and asked the waitress for two more breakfast meals on   49 trays(托盤).

Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia(安樂(lè)死)—that’s to say, doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group’s homepage online, saying, “This isn’t merely something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
小題1:According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?
A.Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness.
B.Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia.
C.All people in Australia don’t share the positive attitude to euthanasia
D.If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours.
小題2:The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are prepared to learn the news that         .
A.some other countries pass similar laws
B.Australia has to put an end to euthanasia
C.people begin to change attitudes to euthanasia
D.different effects result from the game of dominoes
小題3:Which is NOT the reason for Australia to become the first country to pass the law of euthanasia?
A.Australia has advanced technology of extending life.
B. Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death.
C.Australia is faced with a growing ageing population.
D.Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence.
小題4:It can be inferred from the text that          .
A.Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10
B.John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia.
C.a(chǎn)n adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pill
D.Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen.
小題5:What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
A.NegativeB.CriticalC.DoubtfulD.Positive

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.
I can't count the times I called my sister and said,“How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地說(shuō)), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. It looks like rain.”And my personal favorite response:“It's just Monday.”She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.
Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”,“I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
When anyone calls my“seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list.
小題1:The example of the writer's sister serves as__________.
A.a(chǎn)n argumentB.a(chǎn)n introductionC.a(chǎn) supportD.a(chǎn) conclusion
小題2:The writer thinks that the underlined excuse “It's just Monday.”is acceptable, because __________.
A.it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later
B.it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses.
C.it shows respect for the writer's suggestion
D.it indicates the time when they can have lunch together
小題3:The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.
A.a(chǎn)ppropriateB.influentialC.practicalD.evident
小題4:What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?
A.To suggest how time flies.
B.To persuade busy people to relax.
C.To advise people to keep their promise.
D.To convince readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(責(zé)任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child——things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
小題1:According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that          .
A.life for a child is fairly easy
B.a(chǎn) child is always loved whatever he does
C.if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D.only children are interested in life
小題2:The main idea of the passage is that            .
A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C.childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
小題3:The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss           .
A.examples of successful young men
B.how to build up one’s position in society
C.joys and pains of old people
D.what to do when one has problems in life

In March 1987, I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence. It was a very proud moment for me. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次發(fā)刊) was a real success.
Shortly after we mailed 25,000 copies, I received one in the mail. But this one wasn’t as beautiful as the ones we’d sent out. It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤) in it. A talented editor had read the issue carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined.
I felt abashed. A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (內(nèi)容). The stories were good, but the errors this woman had found showed that we were far from being excellent.
At first, I was upset with my editor for not having caught more mistakes, and also upset with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out. Later, I was upset with myself for not having employed a better editor.
Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistakes. I called the woman who had shown me that we were not so excellent. I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully. As painful as it was, I accepted responsibility for it.
Then I offered her the job of editing our publication. The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine.
From this I learnt that an upsetting moment could be an opportunity to see the truth, and accepting responsibility could help to prevent one making the same mistakes for a second time, and to make "excellence" a reality.
小題1:From the first paragraph we learn that _____.
A.the author put little effort into his first magazine
B.the author’s job was selling magazines
C.the author was very satisfied with his work
D.the author experienced a total failure
小題2:What does the underlined word "abashed" mean?
A.excited.B.embarrassed.C.interested.D.exhausted.
小題3:What do we learn about the woman who had found the errors in the magazine?
A.She was causing trouble on purpose.
B.She liked pointing out the errors of others.
C.She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue.
D.She ended up joining the magazine.
小題4:What do we learn from this passage?
A.Pride is the biggest enemy of success.
B.Success is behind many failures.
C.Picking holes in something can help you find a job.
D.Accepting responsibility for one’s errors can lead to real excellence.

The Hand
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class fun work to draw a picture of  36  for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be  37   to be economically(經(jīng)濟(jì)上) poor, but still many would  38   a big holiday dinner with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the   39   of most of her students’ art. And they really were.
But Douglas made a   40   kind of picture, for Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of pity and love,  41  and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt  42   those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When he was  43  to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a  44  ---nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His picture brought out the heated  45  of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer because farmers  46   turkeys. Another suggested a police officer’s because the police protect and  47   people. And so the discussion went --- until the teacher   48   forgot the young artist.
  49 the children had gone on to do other work, she   50 Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said in a very low voice, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the  51    when she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there and how  52   she had said, “Take your hand, Douglas, and we’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” or “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most   53   for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing aside tears, she went on with her work.

The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers.Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction.Begin with a clear conception of what you want.Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them.Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It’s important to visualize(想象)yourself accomplishing your goal.While losers visualize the penalties(不利)of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success.I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference.I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly.I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes.
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort;I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation.So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing.
When the day arrived, I was eager to go.To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day.
