My dad hurt his back and has been out of ____ for a while. I can't ask my parents for money.”
Sitting back down in his seat, Danny held his head up proudly, even though ____ had begun. I could only shrink in my ____， and surely those whispers must be about me if they found out I would not be going either.
“Danny, I'm very proud of you for understanding the ____ that your parents are in. Not every student of your ____ has that ability，” Mr. Sims replied.
____ not everyone accepted Danny after that day, he won ____the respect of many of us. I was especially ____ by how he didn't back down under peer pressure. For so long, I could never ____ to my friends that I couldn't afford to go there. ____， in order to continue to ____ in, I lied about why I couldn't do things and ____ with excuse after excuse.
By standing up and admitting he was poor, Danny changed my life. His self­confidence made it ____ for all of us to understand that what his parents had or didn't have did not ____ who he was. After that, I no longer felt I had to lie about my family's situation. And Danny, ____ because of his courage and honesty than his great looks, is someone I will never forget.

小題1:答案：B　當老師宣布我們七年級實地考察旅行的目的地是游樂園時，整個教室由于女孩們討論她們要穿什么衣服和帶什么樣的東西而充滿了興奮的嗡嗡聲。故excitement符合語境，意思是“激動，興奮”。amazement“吃驚，驚奇”；disappointment“失望”；encouragement“鼓勵”，均不符合語境。
小題2:答案：B　“我”知道(knowing)“我”的父母沒有錢讓“我”參加這個活動，“我”只能坐在后面聽。
小題3:答案：A　根據(jù)空后面的“to feel so left­out”可知，depressed“沮喪的，消沉的”符合語境。

小題7:答案：C　根據(jù)8空后面的“those whispers”可以判斷出，此處應用whispering。
小題8:答案：D　根據(jù)2空前面的“I sat back”可知，此處應用seat。

Father’s Garden
My father was always a good(酷愛的) gardener. One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled(翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground.
As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller(耕作機) ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite--- red tomatoes.
As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.
But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes.
For the first few years after he died, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.
小題1:Why did the author like the garden when he was a child?
A．He wanted to be a garden-crazy like his father.
B．He loved being in the garden with his father.
C．The garden was full of his favorite food.
D．The garden was just freshly tilled.
小題2:When all the kids started their own families, the author’s father _____.
A．stopped his gardening.
B．turned to other hobbies.
C．devoted more to gardening.
D．focused on planting tomatoes.
小題3:What happened to the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill?
A．There was a great harvest.
B．The garden was almost deserted.
C．No plant grew in the garden at all.
D．The author’s son took charge of the garden.
小題4:Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes?
A．He wanted to honor his father.
B．His son liked the fields of tomatoes.
C．He only knew how to grow tomatoes.
D．He thought tomatoes were easy to manage.

Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
小題1:Why did Delta give the author's family credits?
A．They took a later flight.
B．They had early bookings.
C．Their flight had been delayed.
D．Their flight had been cancelled.
小題2:What can we learn about the author?
A．She rarely misses a good deal.
B．She seldom makes a compromise(妥協(xié)).
C．She is very strict with her children.
D．She is interested in cheap products.
小題3:What does the author do?
A．She's a teacher.B．She's a housewife.
C．She's a media person.D．She's a businesswoman.
小題4:What does the author want to tell us?
A．How to expose bad tricks.B．How to reserve airline seats.
C．How to spend money wisely.D．How to make a business deal.

On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12­year­old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls(回憶)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point, I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let's aim for the pier(碼頭)，” Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？” he cried.“A little bit，” the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there？” they asked again and again.“Yes，” Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.
小題1:Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A．To go boat rowing.
B．To get back their football.
C．To swim in the open water.
D．To test the umbrella as a sail.

小題4:How did the two boys finally reach the pier?

Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together. I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 檔位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn't have much tolerance for a stub­born 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
Love,
Jenny
小題1:How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?

小題2:We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_________.
A．kept in touch by writing each other
B．a(chǎn)re separated due to the generation gap

A．She seldom saw him driving that huge car.
B．She had never realized his being old and weak.
C．She didn't expect to meet with him there.
D．She had never seen him driving so slowly before.

A．tell him about their conflicts
B．say sorry for her being stubborn
C．express her gratitude to him
