James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully __26__ the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! __27__ on earth was he going to get the __28__ of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was _29__ to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no __30__ asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to __31__.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to __32__ it. He would have to find a job. __33_ who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had _34__ on most things.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the __35__ of James’s odd-job(零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the __36__ of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the __37__ of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the __38__ increased and he knew that he would soon have __39_ for the bicycle he longed for.
The day __40__ came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He __41__ no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode __42__ home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard __43__ for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more __44__ he had bought it with his own money. He had __45__what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. All can be very expensive.
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may he damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.
小題1:This passage is most probably taken from _______.
A．a letterB．an advertisementC．a personal diaryD．a newspaper

A．feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sportsmen or sportswomen

A．By starting young, you won't have much time for your schoolwork.
B．Early training may damage your muscles.
C．Most children may become top sportsmen after a long period of training.
D．It' s very expensive for parents to support their child's development in sports.
小題4:The phrase "to take a second place" underlined in first paragraph means "_______".
A．to repeat the activities some other day
B．to become less important

Homework is an important part of education. However, what is it about homework? What makes it important?
First, homework helps students learn. Homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times.
Most of the time, homework will ask students to read other books. So children have to read and understand it by themselves. Sometimes, parents must help children with this type of learning. Children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework.
Good use of homework makes children know that learning can happen with or without the teacher.
As homework is finished, students learn to work out their own problems. Most students need a little help now and then, but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves. If the student can do his or her own work, it is likely the ability he gets will be good for their future life.
Most homework gives room for additional(額外的) learning. Short answers, long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them. Science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding. These things are almost impossible within the classroom education. If the project is done by a group, the students will also learn cooperation(合作).
Good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.
Title: 小題1:________
Benefits
Ways
小題2:_______
Make students repeat the same text.
Develop thinking ability
Make students read other books.
Help students to work out 小題3:________
Be good for their future life
Learn more
Give room for additional learning
Provide a way for students to learn 小題4:________ things
Help go deeper into a field and understand better
Help learn cooperation by working with a group
Get study skills
Use the skills in their 小題5:_______ when they left schools

Once upon a time, there was a scholar who wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge. One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student. The saint provided some tea. He slowly filled the scholar’s cup: the cup was full, yet he kept pouring and pouring. The scholar burst out, “Stop! You can’t add anything to something that’s already full!” The saint set down the teapot and replied, “Exactly.”
Whether it’s the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively. Yet most of us, myself included, tend to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available－closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself.
However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life. For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity（能力），unlike Americans pushing as close to 100% as possible. So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you.
Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds. How to empty your “cup”?
Be mindful of the element of space, openness , and emptiness  in your life. This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open-mindedness in a friend. Sometimes you’re just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do. But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks. Put some space between finishing one thing and staring another. For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one. Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around. At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if you’re hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go.
小題1:By pouring water into the cup, the saint most probably wanted the scholar to know that     .
A．he should pay attention to details
B．he should keep learning every day
C．he had already gained enough knowledge
D．he should be very careful in order to succeed
小題2:We learn that compared to Americans, Australians      .
A．work much harder
B．know less about their capacity
C．spare more time for themselves
D．spend less time with their friends
小題3:The underlined word“l(fā)ug”in the last paragraph probably means“     ”.
A．reachB．carryC．seeD．show
小題4:What’s  the structure of the passage?
A．Example →advice→ conclusion →story.
B．Topic→ example →advice→ story.
C．Story→topic →example→advice.
D．Reason →topic →advice →example.
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．The art of life.B．Value every minute
C．The art of drinking teaD．Empty your“cup”at times

One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point 1 , he used an illustration.
As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he    2   placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the    3   and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar    4 ?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
“Really?” Then he    5  under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel（沙礫，石子），dumped some in and   6  the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space    7  the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.
He reached under the table and    8   a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the    9   left between the rocks and the gravel.    10   he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in    11   the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the    12  of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one   13   student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always   14   some more things in it.”
“No,” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will    15   get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first.    16   the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and    17  for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with    18   things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are   19   on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your    20   first.”
