Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt --- the highest rank in the martial art and combat sport judo(柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who’ve earned the tenth-degree (or dan) black belt. Throughout history, only sixteen people have ever achieved this honor.
Fukuda began practicing judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro. Urged by her teacher, she learned English to help spread judo internationally.
During a time when getting married, building a family, and becoming a housewife was the standard, Fukuda went against tradition, opting out of marriage to pursue the martial art.
“All I did was judo ... this was my marriage,” Fukuda reflected tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my life destiny was set. I just never imagined how long this road would be.”
She described the Jiguro’s school, known as the Kodokan, as “old-fashioned and sexist(性別歧視的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an order that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for thirty years. She was finally promoted to sixth dan in 1972 when a woman’s division was created.
Fukuda said she approached judo and her life with the intention to “be gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda said this kind of beauty is decidedly not external (外部的). “ A kind soul is inner beauty,” she explained to the paper. “I believe this is true beauty … All my life this has been my dream.”
Dream realized, the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach judo three times a week at a woman’s judo.
小題1:It can be learned from the passage that ____________.
A．Fukuda achieved the tenth-degree black belt at 97.
B．four people earned the tenth-degree black belt in history.
C．nearly all of Kano Jiguro’s students were dead.

小題2:The underlined part “opting out of” in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A．choosing or welcomingB．longing for or desiring
C．keeping out of or avoidingD．missing or having no chance of
小題3:Why did Fukuda remain at fifth-degree black belt for so long a time?
A．It was hard for her to improve her level.
B．She suffered from a foolish rule.
C．Her family life took up too much of her time.
D．She didn’t want to improve her level.
小題4:Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A．The only surviving student of Kano Jiguro remains single.
B．The tenth-degree black belt is the highest rank in judo.
C．Sensei Keiko Fukuda spreads judo throughout the world.
D．98-year-old woman becomes the first woman ever to earn judo’s highest-degree black belt.

So tired as I was, I bothered myself to open up my cafe shop on the cold morning. With many consumers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.

In the end he bought a small box of       for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could       with a bit of cheering up.
Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit       as the poor little kid was sitting      his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was       to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would       up and come back for his son's      .
At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I       he didn't get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake, but the man rejected（拒絕）it. I       he felt as if I had just abused（虐待）him. Of course I didn't mean to. But I could understand why he felt like that. I only wished them good       whatever happened.  
The man opened the door to leave — father and son hand in hand.

Tasha Tudor(August 28，1919 — June 18，2008) was an American illustrator(插畫家)and writer of children’s books. She received many awards and honors for her contributions to children’s literature. When people talk about her creativity in artwork，she said,“I do it to support my dogs and my four children.”Her great publishing record, the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years, and her admirers have no effects on her at all.

Much of Tasha’s artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime.“I love winter. It’s delightful，”she says.“I don’t have to go anywhere because I work at home. If I’m snowed in，I can stay this way for months.”She hopes for early, deep snow to protect her garden from the hardship of the New England winter，and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the mile-long dirt path that leads to the road.
Given her enjoyment of winter and her fantasy(夢(mèng)幻)way of life，it’s not surprising that Tasha’s  Christmas is a storybook holiday. She hangs flowers over the front door. Her tree comes from the woods,
and it goes up on Christmas Eve，lit by homemade candles and decorated with her great- grandmother’s collection that dates from 1850. In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.
The grandchildren and friends get presents from Tasha’s old dolls；so do the animals and they
have their own Christmas tree. “Of course，it’s a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas
Eve,”she has written. Small, handmade gifts fill a big wooden box
At the end 0f each year, Tasha can look back and know that her life is perfect，that she has
again ignored the twentieth century，and that the magic continues. And for the rest of us，here’s
a bit of advice, Tasha style：“Nowadays, people are so restless．If they took some tea anti spent more time rocking on the porch(門廊)in the evening listening to light music，they might enjoy life more.”
小題1:Tasha loved winter because it allowed her to ____________．
A．read stories to her grandchildren
B．show her DIY snowshoes to kids
C．stay indoors working mid reading
D．enjoy bicycle tiding along the path
小題2:From the passage, we can learn that Tasha’s life is ____________．
A．modern and fashionableB．simple and fantastic
C．lonely and hardD．a(chǎn)dventurous and inspiring
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE about Tasha?
A．She cared little about fame.
B．She created an animal fund.
C．She wrote many stories for magazines.
D．She bought presents for her relatives.
小題4:In which section of a paper can you probably read the article?
A．Travel.B．Sports.C．Economy.D．People.

The sun had gone behind a cloud. I was very tired and wanted nothing in the world so much as to be at home. At last I got to the gate of Hide Park. But this was worse than ever; there were buses there—high and terribly red cars, taxis and still more buses in an endless line. Everywhere there were people hurrying past or waiting to get into the buses, while I stood lost in the middle of them.
I was ready to cry. In despair, I crossed the street on to an “island”, where I found a policeman. I took my last bit of courage in both hands and said, “Please, sir, where is Addison Road?” He began to explain, but when he saw that I couldn’t understand he became helpless, too. “Are you French at school?” A few minutes later, he smiled and raised his hand. How wonderful! The traffic stopped. Even the red buses stood still and waited until I had crossed the road.

It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.
I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.
Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.
One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.
Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.
小題1:The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.
A．a(chǎn)dmire the sunsetB．cheer her upC．offer some helpD．have a chat
小題2:Four years later, the author ______.
A．found her dream jobB．put an end to her marriage
C．worked in a laundry roomD．lived in the same community
小題3:After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.
A．disappointedB．puzzledC．inspiredD．overjoyed

When I was in high school, my father retired and set up a food stand on the street near my school. He was particularly good at making      . Every day after I finished school, my classmates and I would     his food stand. But I really      talking to him before his food stand, because I didn’t want my classmates to know my father was selling noodles on the street!
One night, I couldn’t      it any more and shouted, “Dad, could you      selling your annoying noodles? I don’t need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment, my father was     . He tried to say something but didn’t. When he turned      , something happened that I would never      . His eyes were filled with tears. I saw him     for the first time. My mother later told me my father was selling noodles to      money for my college education. Even today I still feel      for what I did that night.
Time really flies. I finished      and then left my home to work. During the past years, whenever I       home, he was always there meeting me      at the railway station. Whenever he saw me off, he never tried to hug me, although I always       his hug. When I was away from home, he never wrote or telephoned me,      he always pushed my mother to telephone me. Whenever my mother was telephoning me, he’d sit beside her with a list of questions. He’d       my mother to talk to me for him. That’s the way he is, and that’s how he shows his      to me.
My father is quiet, but I feel a       , which is deep and powerful. It lives in a place far beyond     , and it is something special－“a silent father’s love”.
