The wind tried pushing Colin to the ground. It felt as if Colin’s news-bag was full of potatoes.
Maybe it had to do with the news Dad read before Colin left. The morning headlines（标题）were full of the usual sad stories.
“No good news again!” Dad said.
Car accidents! House burns! Storm damage（损害）!
Colin moved quickly from house to house leaving papers in the mailbox. He wished he could bring only good news to his family, also to his friendly neighbours. “How could I make things better for everyone?” he wondered.
Colin noticed Alice coming. She only had one real eye. The other was made of glass. He liked Alice even if many others laughed at her. He didn’t realize how much it helped her, having a friend like Colin.
Each time Colin left a paper by a customer’s door, he thought, “How could I make some good news?”
Colin gave his usual cheerful “Hi” to everyone on his way. His smile was like the rising sun.
Someone was crying and he ran to where a little boy had fallen and hurt his leg. Colin calmed him down until the boy’s mother arrived.
“I’m glad you’re my paperboy,” she told Colin.
He continued on his way, but he didn’t feel tired. It was fun doing what he usually did—helping others.
He raced up the street to his last customer. Mrs. Williams saw Colin coming and had peanut butter cookies as a treat for her favourite paperboy. She wondered why such a lively boy always had time to chat with an old lady.
Colin’s own treat for his customers came from his heart. He did have much good news to share, even if he didn’t realize it. His smile and polite manners brought cheering-up news to all his customers.
1.What was Colin’s trouble?
A. His news-bag was too heavy.
B. He had heard of many sad stories.
C. His dad didn’t like his job as a paperboy.
D. He couldn’t bring good news to his customers.
2.Why did Mrs. Williams think Colin was her favourite boy?
A. Because he would always like to chat with her.
B. Because he liked her peanut butter cookies.
C. Because he didn’t bring bad news to her.
D. Because he always sent papers to her as fast as he could.
3.What was Colin’s treat for his customers?
A. His smile and polite manners. B. His papers full of good news.
C. His honesty and happiness. D. His confidence and friendship.
4.What’s the best title of this passage?

六、阅读填空 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。所填单词必须写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每个空格只能填一个单词。
Yu Minhong, president of New Oriental Education, shared his ideas with the young after the English speech competition of the 14th China Daily. Here is some of his advice to young people:
“One suggestion I’d like to give you is that it’s important to do what you like without fear of failure. And the process（过程）of working toward your dreams matters more than the results. Young people should take chances to show off talents. Take competitions like this one as an example: If you are afraid to fail, you’ll never get the chance to stand on the stage and make a speech. Above all, it’s most important to take part.
Another suggestion I want to give you is to read books. It is not easy to keep reading every day. For me, it is much more difficult and challenging to keep reading and taking notes every day than it is to walk 10,000 steps.”
In his speech, Yu also shared his view on life. He chose a different life rather than a more successful one. He uses the famous lines of American poet Robert Frost (1874–1963) to make his point:“Two roads diverged (分叉) in a wood, and I … took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”Yu pointed out, “Your happiness should not be what others think you should run after, but instead you should decide what it is. It is you who should make choices for your own life.”
Yu Minhong’s speech to young people
His advice | ● He thinks the process is more 1. than results, so young people should take chances to show off their 2.. ● He also suggests that we should read books. It’s 3. to keep reading all the time. |
His views on life | ● Yu prefers a different life 4. a more successful one. ● He says that your happiness should be decided by 5. instead of what others think. |
