“It was all his own idea, ” says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school . Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract” ----- a document (文件) stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children, plus all household chores (雜務(wù)). Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident.(He thought the experience would make a nice book.) After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. “I was beaten down, completely humbled, ” admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press (also part of the bargain), stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.” Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Palo Alto’s Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids. Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. “I had been around children so much,” she sighs (嘆氣), “I couldn’t talk to a grown-up.” She continued to run the household, however----- until Bob signed the contract, whereupon she decided to relax and enjoy it. Although Peters had consulted (咨詢) with his school’s home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria (食堂), his meals were sometimes a disaster.
“I tried to slip the butter I’d forgotten under the eggs after they were frying, ” he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot—sometimes having Macdonald’s hamburgers for lunch and dinner. As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. “I found an easier way-----I shut the doors, ” he says. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. “I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean.”
Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely(日常地) sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat. The tentative (暫定的) title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day.
小題1:The couple signed the contract because _______.
A．Pat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herself
B．Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good rest
C．they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasks
D．Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book
小題2:It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to _______.
A．pay a certain amount of money
B．do all the housework for years
C．say sorry to his wife
D．a(chǎn)dmit publicly he was wrong about motherhood
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Bob managed to keep the kids’ clothes clean.
B．Bob tried to cook good meals for his children.
C．Bob frequently took the kids out to eat because he was too busy at work.
D．Bob taught the kids to make their beds every day.
小題4:Which of the following can best end the news story?
A．“My experience of being a mother.”
B．“I’m proud of you all, my dear!”
C．“Wait till your mother gets home!”
D．“Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone.”

Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis,cricket — anything with a round ball, I was useless." he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits (成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You are completely crazy,'" Saunders says.
In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter (遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
小題1:The turning point in Saunders'life came when ________.
A．he started to play ball games
B．he got a mountain bike at age 15
C．he ran his first marathon at age 18
D．he started to receive Ridgway's training
小題2:We can learn from the text that Ridgway ________.
A．dismissed Saunders' dream as fantasy
B．built up his body together with Saunders
C．hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
D．won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
小題3:What do we know about Saunders?
A．He once worked at a school in Scotland.
B．He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
C．He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
D．He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
小題4:The underlined word "Intrigued" in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A．ExcitedB．ConvincedC．DelightedD．Fascinated
小題5:It can be inferred that Saunders' journey to the North Pole ________.
A．was accompanied by his old playmates
B．set a record in the North Pole expedition
C．was supported by other Arctic explorers
D．made him well-known in the 1960s

A businessman lost his wallet. There was plenty of money in it. So he made a promise, "If someone finds my wallet and returns it to me, I'll give half the money to him."

I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
My husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour （氣味）and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled（摸索）with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.
Then I really felt it－I embraced（擁抱） the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.
The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.” When I sat down my husband smiled at me. We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that because of the good fortune that we had been given.
I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.
小題1:Why did people around the author in the McDonald step back?
A．Because they were very polite to the two men.
B．Because they were moved by the two men.
C．Because the two men smelt terrible.
D．Because the two men seemed unfriendly.
小題2:Why did the two men only buy coffee?
A．Because they didn’t have enough money.
B．Because they didn’t feel hungry.
C．Because they knew others would help them.
D．Because they were looked down upon.
小題3:How did the teacher think of the author’s project?
A．Hard to believe.B．Interesting to read.
C．Very puzzling.D．Very satisfying.
小題4:What did the author think she learn from the story?
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B．Helping others can bring pleasure to many people.
C．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
