Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(獨(dú)特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.

In the early 1800’s, a boy named John lived in an orphanage (孤兒院) with several other children. Every day was   31   working and Christmas was the one day of the year   32   the children did not work and received a gift — an orange. The children valued it so much that they kept it for weeks, and even   33   — smelling it, touching it and loving it. Usually they tried to kept it for so   34   that it often went bad before they ate it.
This year John knew he would soon be   35   enough to leave. He would save the orange until his birthday in July. If he preserved it   36  , he might be able to eat it on his birthday.

Then he heard the door open and the children entered. Little Elizabeth with a   40   on her face held out her small hands. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As John   41   his head, he saw a big juicy orange all peeled (剝皮) and quartered ……. Each child had sacrificed (舍棄) their own orange by   42   a quarter and had created a big, beautiful orange for him. 
John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day.   43   that day, after he became rich, every year he   44   send oranges all over the world to children everywhere.

When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment （錄�。﹔ate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It’s no doubt to call this HK craze（狂熱）,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual（雙語(yǔ)）education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees（學(xué)費(fèi)）are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
小題1:What is the passage mainly talking about?

A．Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.

B．Higher education in Hong Kong.

C．The competition between HK University and Peking University.

D．The fall of mainland universities.

小題2:Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because           .

A．many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience.

B．they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities.

C．HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study.

D．Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation.

小題3:What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?

A．The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.

B．Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.

C．Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.

D．It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.

小題4:From the passage we can see HK universities           .

A．didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland

B．didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular

C．have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there

D．a(chǎn)re proud of their teaching staff and facilities

小題5:What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?

A．Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.

B．The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.

C．Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.

D．Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

This time, which took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened. On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s dress and picked out a beautiful skirt. “ Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” he said．I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death. He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.” I’m thinking about his words, and they’ve changed the way I live my life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. “Someday ”and “one of these days ”are losing their importance  on my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life. 小題1:Why did Jan buy the beautiful skirt but didn’t wear it? A．She waited for a special occasion to wear it on. B．She wanted to keep it for someone else. C．She saved it till she grew up. D．She would give it to herself as a gift some day. 小題2:What does the underlined word “cherish” mean? A．Treasure. B．Waste.
