    Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.
    He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
    One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.
    As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said, “Sure, I know.” And invited him to sit on the porch (门廊 ). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.

    I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although, I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident.

I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩). “I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!” he said.
    Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door.

    In the summer of 2011 my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would not be seen among the tourists and lose lots of chances to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and tried to come up with a free tour to Italy.
    The trip was not very long but it was so exciting that we never forgot. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially worried about my visa, but everything went quite well in the end.
    The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate (领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far earlier. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the centre of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
    Every day we took a train that carried us to the centre of Rome. Our big house was among the forest. The beautiful views, nice hosts, comfortable living conditions made us happy to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our hostess was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
    Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoy travelling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book wherever we wanted to go and we even met some of our countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you’re also planning a “single” trip, don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their local language.
    小题1:From the passage, we know the writer chose the free tour to Italy because ______.
    A．his friend invited him there
    B．he wanted to spend less money
    C．it was very hard for him to find a travel agency
    D．he wanted to get familiar with the country more closely
    小题2:The hardest thing in preparing for his Italian trip was ______.
    A．booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome
    B．buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before travelling
    C．solving the ticket problem and booking a hotel far earlier
    D．getting a visa from the Italian consulate without an invitation
    小题3:Which of the following questions is NOT answered in the article?
    A．How did the writer prepare for his trip?
    B．Why did the writer decide to go to Italy for a holiday?
    C．What transport did the writer choose for his travelling?
    D．Why did the writer decide not to go through a travel agency?
    小题4:From the article, we can know the writer ______.
    A．likes to travel with tour guides
    B．met a lot of his countrymen in Italy
    C．advises us to arrange trips by ourselves
    D．enjoys travelling everywhere in the world

    China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.
    In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
    There are several reasons for this.
    Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.
    Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.
    小题1:China Youth says that more and more ______.
    A．boys are clever than girls
    B．boys can’t go to school
    C．girls have entered colleges
    D．girls begin to study at school
    小题2:42.14% refers to(指) the number of ______.
    A．girls at schools in 1998
    B．girls in colleges in 2001
    C．boys at schools in 2001
    D．boys in colleges in 1998
    小题3:The writer gave us ______ reasons to explain the question.
    A．twoB．threeC．fourD．five
    小题4:What does the underlined word “proportion” mean in Chinese?
    A．身高B．比例
    C．特性D．速度
    小题5:Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
    A．Boys may not do well in their study as girls because they don’t like studying.
    B．Boys are much cleverer than girls because they’re interested in many things.
    C．Girls’ intelligence is the same as boys’.
    D．Girls study harder, but they couldn’t get higher marks than boys.

    When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.                      He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”                                                                         
    I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.            
    I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”                   
    Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.                                                          
    小题1:What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?                                   
    A．Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
    B．She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
    C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
    D．Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
    小题2:Why did her father listen to her quietly?                                          
    A．Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
    B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
    C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
    D．Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
    小题3:Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?                          
    A．Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
    B．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
    C．My Father
    D．My Childhood
