Angels
My friend Heather mentioned that she had never seen an Angel. Then I remembered the1I had with my sister Sandra earlier this week.
This will be Sandra’s first Christmas without her husband. This summer he died in her arms. On Thursday, she was in the store2 for an ideal card for her two sons and daughter. Time passed by quickly as she3the many choices. She wanted a card that sent something special to each of them, 4she knew they would have a(n)5 place in their heart this holiday season.
Finally! She found the one that expressed the6feeling. The words expressed the feelings that she wished to share. However, a sharp pain pierced(穿透) her heart when she realized that the card was7“mom and dad.” She stood there, 8it close for a long time, unable to move from the9 . Tears began to run down her cheeks.
“Is there something I can do for you?” a 10voice asked. She 11to face a stranger, a woman, who was looking at her with 12and concern. “Uh…oh...OH!” Sandra responded, “I can’t give this card to my children because…because my husband died and this is the 13card.”
Hearing this, the stranger’s face softened with sympathy(同情) and love. She reached out and14my sister into her arms, giving her unspoken permission to cry in the protection of her embrace(擁抱). She 15held my sister until her calmness16. “Thank you for listening to me cry on,” was what my sister said when all was better. “You are welcome, and I am so sorry for your17,” the stranger answered and said goodbye to her.
During her telling of this event I was feeling 18that I hadn’t been there. My sister needed me and a stranger had to do my 19. “You know,” she went on, “a friend suggested that it was like meeting with an Angel.” My20 disappeared in an instant. My sister required an Angel, and I think that is exactly what she got.

US president Barack Obama told students that it takes hard work in school to prepare for a rewarding career in his “back to school” speech,1last Tuesday in Virginia, US. Here is excerpt (節(jié)選)from his speech:
I know that sometimes, you get the2that you can be rich and successful without any hard work –3your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, being successful is4.You won’t love every subject you study. Not every homework assignment will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at5the first time you try.
That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most6.JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was712 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was8his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said. “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures9you. No one’s10being good at things; you become good at things through hard work.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of11. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.
And even when you’re12, even when you’re discouraged, and when you feel like other people have given up on yourself, you won’t give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

From their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, where they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They also elected the town’s officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.
In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.
In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated. There are open sessions of this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in order to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.

My husband and I went into a shop that sold handcrafted items in hopes of finding a few last-minute Christmas gifts.
There was a lot1. Every shelf and2was loaded with different crafters' handiwork. As I walked through the store, I noticed a wooden plaque(瓷花金屬板) hanging on a wall. I turned to take3look and remember shaking my head "yes" at4printed on the plaque.
"Life isn't about waiting for the5to pass," the plaque proclaimed(宣布). "It's about learning to dance in the rain."
As I pulled my husband over and directed his attention to the plaque, I could see that he too 6the simple lesson the plaque shared. How often in our daily lives had we put conditions on our7? When we get the house paid off, then we can be happy. When things settle down with the kids, then we'11 be able to do more together. There is so little joy for the here and now in the uncertainties of the8and thens.
Looking at the plaque, I found myself9to a hot and muggy day the summer before, when I unknowingly10the plaque's message. Light rain continued to fall as I walked out to get my mail. Water was still running11through the gutters(屋頂檐槽). I don't know what came over me,12I suddenly felt forced to do something a little crazy 13my fifty-plus years.
I14my shoes and stockings and began walking barefoot through the water. It was deliciously15, heated by the pavement that had been16by the summer heat.
I'm sure my neighbors thought that I had17my last vestige of sanity(神智健全), but I didn't care. For in that moment, I was alive. I wasn't worried about bills, the future or any other day-to-day cares. I was 18a gift — a pure and simple moment of joy!
The plaque now hangs in my living room, a Christmas gift from my husband. I walk past it multiple times each day and19pause to ask myself, "So, am I 20in the rain?"
I think I am. I know I try to. One step at a time, I am learning to dance in the rain!

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

Recently, online high schools in America have sparked (激發(fā)) a debate about whether or not taxpayers’ money should be used to support online education. Online schools receive the same amount of funding as all other public schools, even though they don’t have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs.
Some students only use online classes to supplement their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses.
However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs. 
Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers can’t give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what they’re having difficulty with.  
Additionally, even though online schooling accommodates (顧及) students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learn valuable communication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes won’t learn social etiquette (禮節(jié)), and will be treated differently by their peers.
Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers’ money on online schools in extreme cases.

  1. 1.

    What is the passage mainly about?

    1. A.
      Whether students should study at online schools.
    2. B.
      Whether online schools should be allowed to exist.
    3. C.
      Whether taxpayers should pay for online schools.
    4. D.
      Whether traditional schools should be replaced.
  2. 2.

    According to the passage, online schooling _____.

    1. A.
      is helpful to students living in remote regions
    2. B.
      allows students to work together
    3. C.
      makes it possible for students to get immediate help
    4. D.
      develops students’ critical thinking
  3. 3.

    According to Paragraph 5, the author worries that students at online schools _____.

    1. A.
      might lose interest in learning
    2. B.
      would play online games
    3. C.
      could not receive teachers’ help
    4. D.
      could not become fully developed
  4. 4.

    What is the author’s attitude?

    1. A.
      Taxpayers should not pay for online schools at all.
    2. B.
      Taxpayers should pay more for online schools than real schools.
    3. C.
      Taxpayers’ money should be spent on online schools conditionally.
    4. D.
      Taxpayers should support online schools in different ways.
