    While I was waiting to enter university, I saw an advertisement in a newspaper –a teaching job wanted at a school.  The school was about ten miles from where I lived. I was in great      of money and wanted to do something useful, so I      .
    Three days later, a letter arrived.  It asked me to meet the principal of the school at Croydon. It proved to be a(n)     journey -a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of      a quarter of a mile.
    A man who was short and round seemed to be the principal and he opened the door for me. "The school," he said, "has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen years old." According to the man, I should have to teach all the subjects       art, which the man himself taught. I should have to      the class into three groups and teach them at three different levels, and I was not glad at the      of teaching Maths -a subject which I wasn't good at. It was        that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be      themselves at that time.
    Before I had time to ask about my      ,the man got up to his feet. "Now," he said,“You'd better meet my wife.  She is the one who really runs this school.”

    We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four．Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner．I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang．Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom．
    The guests arrived．I introduced my two daughters to each of them．The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids．
    Each of the guests paid too much attention to Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile．They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age．
    I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt．We do it with the best of intention（意图）．
    But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child．I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined （使逊色）．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes．I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying．
    I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
    She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
    I tried to explain to her, kissing and held her in arms to make her feel better．
    Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point(特意做某事) to speak to the elder child first．
    小题1:The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____．
    A．young ageB．lovely smile
    C．pretty clothesD．beautiful hair
    小题2:Kristen felt sad and cried because ____．

    B．the guests praised her sister more than her
    C．her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests

    小题3:From this experience ,the writer changed the way of ____．
    A．dressing her daughtersB．visiting friends

    You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world. ① But it wasn’t always like that.[
    The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew. ② Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet.
    By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays. ③ He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired.
    Although today many millions of people chew gum, not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum, they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places. 
    小题1:请将①处翻译成汉语。________________________
    小题2:请根据②处内容完成下面句子。（每空一词）
    People make chewing gum soft and sweet _________something to it.
    小题3:把③处改为直接引语。（每空一词）
    He also said“, Chewing gum______ people work better and it ______people from feeling tired.”

    These days when you go on vacation, you spend most of your money just getting there. Travel is expensive, but don't stay home only because you are short of money! Here is some advice:
    * Travel during off-season if possible. Flights and hotels are very cheaper when tourism is low.
    * Choose a hotel that's a little farther from popular attractions. If you're staying several days,
    check out prices on vacation homes — it can end up being cheaper than a hotel.
    * Take public traffic, such as buses or subway, instead of taking a taxi.
    * Plan your meals, and eat like locals. Don't waste money at expensive hotel restaurants or
    fast-food chains. Depending on where you stay, it may be cheaper to make food on your own.
    * Check online for special discount （折扣） — if you're a student, the old or the parents
    traveling with children, you could get discounts! A little research could save you a lot of money.
    Whether you're backpacking alone or going on a family vacation, your trip doesn't have to break the bank. The key is to plan ahead and write down what you spend. Then put the money you save toward your next trip!
    小题1:Is travel expensive now?
                                                                                
    小题2:How many suggestions are given to save money?
                                                                               
    小题3:Which is cheaper, staying at a hotel or a vacation home?
                                                                               
    小题4:Who could get discounts?

    What’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.
    Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” last Thursday by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!
    “I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.
    Just because Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.
    Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.
    Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.
    Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.
    小题1:What does ‘dark horse’ mean? It means _____________.
    A．a horse which is dark
    B．someone who is expected to win
    C．a horse which likes living in the dark
    D．someone whose win is unexpected
    小题2:Where did Han Xiaopeng take China’s first gold on snow?
    A．In China .B．In Italy.C．In America.D．In Australia.
    小题3:What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?
    A．He had the agility and wasn’t afraid of the high platform.
    B．He was good at skiing though he was only 12 years old.
    C．He was born in the north of China and liked sports on snow.
    D．He had the talent and he had won a world gold medal before.
    小题4:Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
    A．He was 23 when he won the gold medal at the winter Olympics.
    B．He made two almost perfect jumps and got the highest score.
    C．No one had won the gold before Han Xiaopeng at the winter Olympics.
    D．He never gave up even though he had faced many difficulties.
    小题5:What is the best title for this passage?
    A．A Dark Horse at the Winter Olympics
    B．A Wonderful Match
    C．A Hopeless Snow Game
    D．An Exciting Horse Race
