As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening in on their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.
I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.
I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.

A．the boy met a long lost friend
B．the boy had no friends at school
C．the dog helped the boy realize that he was loved
D．the dog spent the afternoon with the boy and his brothers
小題4:The author wrote the story to______.
A．encourage people to talk about their troubles
B．tell people they should treat animals friendly

Like most Oregonians, Stephanie McRae was used to driving in bad weather. Although rain still beat the window of her car, the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, home from a church at 8:30 p.m. Two little children sat into their car seats in back.
When crossing over Fawcett Creek (小河), McRae found the road just ahead had been washed away. The storm had turned Fawcett Creek into a 100-feet-wide river. Water began to go into the car and the four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof. The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead. Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞).The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying.
“Mom, I have to go and get help,” her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried.
Stephanie realized if she went by herself, Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies. But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. How could she manage? Finally she shouted, “I’m proud of you. Be careful!”
As Maggie McRae struggled to reach the shore, she was all wet. The sixth grader started running to the nearest house. Inside, the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car. Maggie joined the neighbors, and helped the rescue team point out where her mother was. The firefighters saved McRae and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder.
When Stephanie reached land in safety, Maggie raced into her mother’s arms. “She hugged me for five minutes,” Maggie remembers. Maggie accepted an award for her heroism, but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her family.

My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she        around to pick up a few things. 
As I was        there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers (層)        layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.
She had a few toiletries(化妝品)and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to       since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were. 
At some point I became       of her moving closer behind me –it was         than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地)      a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild         about this homeless woman who might try to          from me.
Then it was my         to order. As the cashier rang up my total I discovered I was 37 cents        . I called to my mother but she is hard of hearing. She asked me to         what I said but she still couldn't          me out.
At that point, a long grey arm, with         in its sleeves,          over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, We all need some        sometimes."
I was         ! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to         and in great need herself. I had judged her         and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me! 
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about         others. Thank You, God!!

Night after night, she came to tuck me in (給…掖被子), even long after my childhood years. Following her long-standing custom, she’d        and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss  my forehead.
I don’t remember when it first started        me----her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me,       they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.        , one night, I shouted at her, “Don’t do that anymore ----your hands are too       !” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that        expression of her love.
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts        to that night. By then I missed my mother’s         , missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident        very close, sometimes far away. But always it existed in the back of my        .
Well, many years have passed, but mother’s rough hands are still doing things for me and my family. She’s been our doctor,        into a medicine cupboard for the medicine to         us children of our pain. She makes the best food in the world and always keeps our clothes clean.
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special        , I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand        ran across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently,        my forehead.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I        the night my young voice        , “Don't’ do that anymore----your hands are too rough!”        Mom’s hand in my hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten ---and       ---long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the        that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

Mom’s birthday present? It may be a difficult thing for some people, but for me, it is an easy thing. Mom loved flowers, so every year I sent her flowers. Actually she had a bed of irises (鳶尾花) in the backyard of her small, Indiana farm. They were beautiful. “Take some,” she said, “Dig some up and plant them on the side of your own house.”
But in my yard they became lacking in energy. A year passed, then two, but not one flower appeared. I cut back all their green leaves. I was tired of seeing them so lonely. Finally, I dug the irises up and threw them away.
About that time Mom died unexpectedly. My sister and I sold the farm. I never went back to see the irises. I just couldn’t bear seeing another family living in our home—Mom’s home. Autumn came, then winter. The following spring, as Mom’s birthday approached, I struggled with the question of how to remember her. I stared out the window and saw a few stubborn irises in my side yard sprouting (發(fā)芽), —tall, thin but flowerless. Because of seeing them, I decided to order flowers as I always did on Mom’s birthday, and send them to my sister. I wished so badly I could still send flowers to Mom. But that was impossible.
In the morning of Mom’s birthday, I was in my car ready to work. Something in the yard caught my eye. The irises! One had bloomed with flowers, big, showy and purple, as lovely as they ever had been on Mom’s farm. I smiled and turned my eyes upward. I could no longer send flowers to Mom. But somehow, she’d been able to send them to me.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, Mom ________.

小題2:At first, the irises in the author’s yard ________.

A．She didn’t know how to grow irises.
B．She regretted they had sold Mom’s farm.
C．She didn’t know what to do in memory of Mom.
D．She couldn’t bear others living in Mom’s home.

A．decided to send flowers to her sister on Mom’s birthday
B．dug them out because they were flowerless

When I was two years old, something happened which I have never forgotten. It was early spring, and there was a light mist over the trees and fields. The other young fellows and I were feeding at the lower end of the field when we heard the distant cry of dogs.
The oldest among us lifted his head to listen. “There are the hounds(獵犬)”, he said, and immediately raced off. The rest of us followed him to the top of the field where we could see several fields beyond.
Soon the dogs were all racing down the field next to ours, making a loud “yoyoyoyo” sound. After then came men on horses, some in green coats. Suddenly, the dogs became silent and ran around with their noses to the ground.
“They’ve lost the smell of the hare.” said the old horse. “Perhaps it will escape.” But the dogs began their “yoyoyoyo” again and came at full speed towards our field. Just then a hare, wild with fear, ran towards the trees. The dogs jumped over the stream and ran across the field, followed by the huntsmen. Six or eight jumped their horses over the stream, close behind the dogs. Before the hare could get away, the dogs were upon her with wild cries. We heard a terrible scream, and that was the end of the hare. One of the men picked her up and held her by the leg. She was covered in blood, but all the huntsmen seemed pleased.
I was so greatly surprised that at first I did not see what was happening by the stream but when I did look, I saw a sad sight. Two fine horses were down, one in the stream struggling to stand up and the other on the grass with one of his legs broken. One rider, who seemed unhurt, was climbing out of the water, but the other lay quite still. “His neck is broken,” said my mother. “I can’t understand why men are so fond of this sport. They often hurt themselves and ruin good horses, all for one hare that they could get more easily in other ways. But we are only horses, and don’t know why men do these things.”
They carried the dead rider to our master’s house, and then came back to the black horse on the grass. The animal was in great pain and one of his legs was broken. Someone ran to our master’s house and came back to the horse with a gun. Soon after there was a loud bang and a terrible cry, and the black horse did not move any more.
小題1:What does “I” in the passage refer to?
A．A scared hare.B．Ayounghorse.
