My husband and l were talking about possible colours because it was time for painting the kitchen again. The children, sat nearby and suddenly shouted, "Not the measuring（測(cè)量）stick!”
The measuring stick isn't a real stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and the dining room. Along the edge we have   each child's growth by making a mark showing his or her    on every birthday. Over the ten years so many    pens, pencils and markers were used that the door came to be   like a painting.
Names and dates   different hand-writing, and I can   by the script(手跡)who measured whom. An eight-year-old brother measured his three-year-old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother, my husband measured me. At parties, when this door swings, friends stop to     the names and dates. When we ask if they would like to leave their marks, they usually had a smile.
Many of these listed on the door are still    While some have stopped. Some is still with us only in memory. When my mother came to see our eldest daughter graduating from university, we measured her, too. It was her last visit to our home.
We haven't decided on the new kitchen colour plan yet, but one thing is   :Whether we paint the trim curry gold, Chowning's Tavern red or Federal blue, the back of the kitchen door will be always     with lots of names and dates in different colors.

A Talking Fish
One afternoon last summer, Mr. Stow went to a fishman to buy fish for his supper, because a friend of his would come to have supper with him that evening.
It was hot, and most of the fish were not so good, but the fishman said, “Sir, all of my fish are good and fresh. Would you like some?” Mr. Stow held one fish up to his nose and smelled it. “Why do you smell that fish? Do you think it bad?” asked the fishman. “No, I didn’t smell it.” “Then what did you do with your face so close to the fish?” asked the fishman. “I didn’t smell the fish, I only talked to it,” said Mr. Stow. “What did the fish say to you?” “He said he didn’t know the latest news of the river , because he was out of the river for more than a week.”
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正(T)誤(F)。

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
　　The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.
　　“Mr. Tanaka,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves？”
　　“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” his teacher replied.
　　Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (錦標(biāo)賽). The boy won his first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his own success.
　　This time, his opponent (對(duì)手) was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee (裁判) wanted to stop the match.
　　“No,” the teacher insisted, “l(fā)et him continue.” Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment the boy used his move to pin (釘住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.
　　On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.
　　“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”
　　“You won for two reasons,” his teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”
　　The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength (優(yōu)點(diǎn)).
小題1:The boy decided to study judo though ____________.
A．he was only ten years old
B．he would have an old teacher
C．he had lost his left arm in a car accident

Long long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.
So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?”and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(盧比). ”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it:oh, my god!His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah!Ah!Ah!”
But he still continued to eat the fruit!Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many!People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that. ”But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop!I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”
And you think that man was silly, right?We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
小題1:The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because  .
A．he hadn’t eaten it beforeB．he was hungry
C．it was cheapD．he hadn’t seen it before
小題2:The underlined  word“condiment”in Paragraph3 probably means_______.
A．零食B．水果C．調(diào)料D．蔬菜
小題3:Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
A．The man went to India to buy fruit.
B．The man didn’t want to waste money.
C．The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.
D．India can grow a lot of fruit.
小題4:From the passage, we can learn that_________.
A．we shouldn’t waste money
B．we shouldn’t eat chilies
C．we shouldn’t buy something cheap
D．letting something go is better than keeping on losing
