During my last year of junior high school, our teacher, Mrs Debby, gave us a ____1___. I was a hard-working student and I did well in all subjects. I was ____2_____ that I had nailed this test and breezed through (輕松答完) the questions ___3____ I read the last one: ‘What is the ___4____ name of the woman who cleans the school?’

Of course I thought that ___5_____ have been a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 50 years old. She had dark hair. But ___6____ would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never ___7____ thought about talking to her. I looked at my paper and started to feel rather ___8____. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last one____9___.

Before the quiz (隨堂測驗(yàn)) ended, one student asked if the last question would be ___10___ in our grades. “Of course,” the teacher said, “In your life, you will meet many people. They are all ____11___. They deserve (理應(yīng)得到) your attention and care, even if all you do is to____12___ and say hello.”

I’ve never___13____ that lesson. Everyone deserves my ___14_____ and I should get to know all of the people ___15____ work and live around me. That is, perhaps, the most important lesson of my life. I also later learned that the cleaning woman’s first name was Hannah.

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名聲) or salary(薪水).

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

1.Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?

A．The writer’s studies.                    B．The writer’s future job

A．doesn’t want the writer to major in English

B．doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor

C．gets along very well with the writer

D．doesn’t think working in the science field is a good idea

3.The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____________.

A．a(chǎn)grees            B．shouts            C．complains         D．smiles

A．He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.

B．He wants to find a job in his community in the future.

A lady in an old cotton dress and her husband, dressed in an old suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked into the president of Harvard’s outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such country people had no business at Harvard. She frowned(皺眉). “We want to see the president,” the man said softly. “He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary said coldly. “We’ll wait,” the lady replied.

For hours, the secretary didn’t talk to them, hoping that the couple would finally become tired and go away. They didn’t. And the secretary finally decided to disturb the president. “Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they’ll leave,” she told him. He frowned too. Someone of his importance obviously didn’t have the time to spend with them.

The president walked toward them unwillingly. The lady told him, “We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to set up a memorial(紀(jì)念碑) to him somewhere on campus. ” The president was so surprised that he shouted sharply, “We can’t put up a statue(塑像) for every person who attended Harvard and died. This place would look like a cemetery (墓地).

“Oh, no” the lady explained, “We don’t want to build a statue. We thought we would give a building to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at their plain clothes, and said with surprise, “A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.”

For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they set up the university with their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

1.What did the old couple go to Harvard for?

A．They wanted to see their son.

B．They had an important meeting

C．They went to Harvard just to start a university

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (災(zāi)難) or even a wonder.

There are countries between these two extremes (極端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities(數(shù)量) every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(不足) -- bread, vegetables and other things -- not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities (日用品), “just for fear that something bad should happen.”

Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.

1.According to the writer, Britain is a country____.

A．which has regular snow                   B．which is not well prepared for snow

C．for which snow is not a problem            D．for which snow is a wonder

2.The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____

A．traffic            B．communication     C．food supplies       D．service quality

3.After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______

A．shops have closed down                  B．people buy as much as they can

C．farmers can’t produce any more          D．people eat more vegetables in winter

4.The first reason that the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______

A．spreading salt is good enough              B．old people need more money

C．snow ploughs are not used often            D．the hospital is more important

The Slender West Lake Scenic Spot lies in the northwestern part of Yangzhou, with its south gate facing Great Rainbow Bridge Road. It covers an area of about 123.6 hectares. The Slender West Lake was named a National Key Scenic Spot in 1988 and National AAAAA Tourist Area in 2010.

The Slender West Lake used to be a long river named the Baozhang Lake, which is 4 kilometers in length and less than 100 meters in width. A famous poet Wang Hang in the Qing Dynasty once composed a poem (詩歌), from which the Slender West Lake gets its present name and to which it owes its great fame (名聲) both at home and abroad.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many gardens were built along the Slender West Lake. Following the lines of the natural landscape, a large number of buildings along the moats were constructed(建造) in different locations during different periods. Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty both visited the Slender West Lake.

The Slender West Lake Scenic Spot is an outstanding representative (代表) of the lake gardens in China. In a word, the Slender West Lake not only represents the beauty of natural landscape, but also embodies (體現(xiàn)) the richness of its history and culture.

The pig that dares to dream

The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mom makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, two movie heartthrobs, but he is distinguished (區(qū)分) only by a birthmark around his right eye.

"McDull reminds people they u____7.___ to be as simple and happy as him," Mak says. "If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a complicated(復(fù)雜) world."

In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience: "I suddenly realize that there is s___8.___ you just cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no treasure ... it turns out that being stupid is not funny, it could mean failure.

"W____10.____ he has been doing in the movies is to find new dreams. Most of them keep failing him, but he always starts again with a new one," Mak says. "Maybe that`s why both children and adults find him adorable (可愛的)."
