    One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I notice an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
    We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked.
    “May I get you something?”   “A coffee would be nice.”
    Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, “How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”
    “Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchchill Downs. ”
    I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
    My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

    One of the worst feelings you have as a professional athlete is the feeling after losing a game to a team that you should have beaten. That happened last night against the lowly Boston Celtics. They had only won 13 games the whole year and were really struggling. We had just come off a very good win against the Orlando Magic on the road and were feeling good about ourselves.
    The day did not start out good for us when we learned that T-Mac was going to miss the game with the flu. When you lose your best players (Yao, T-Mac) everyone must play a little harder and do a little bit more on the floor. We inserted Bonzi Wells into the lineup (he was the only one to have a good game for us), in place of T-Mac.
    It was a nasty game. We are usually one of the best three point shooting teams in the NBA and we only made 1 of 22 three point shots! I have never seen that happen. Never! Rafer Alston, Luther Head, and me combined to shoot 5 of 33 from the field. Ouch! You aren't going to win too many games like that. Even as poorly as we shot the ball, we STILL had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter but failed to make the winning plays that you must make to leave the floor victorious.
    In the locker room after the game, everybody felt terrible. When we play a bad game, we feel that we let our teammates down. There is a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach when you leave the gym and you just want to go home and not talk to anyone. It is a terrible feeling, but it is a feeling that makes you want to try harder and do better the next time.
    I'll talk to you guys later.

    A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten.In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt during a design convention.
    The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later.
    There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.
    The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure.
    CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.
    To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment.　To others, the most interesting object would likely be the `Lisa` mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs.The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.
    The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube`s contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington`s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.
    小题1:Who found the time capsule buried by Steve Jobs?
    A．Apple founder Steve Jobs himself.
    B．the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.
    C．Steve Jobs' friends.
    D．Steve Jobs’ daughter.
    小题2:Which is the best title of the passage ?
    A．A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs.
    B．Steve Jobs' plan.
    C．Steve Jobs' time capsule is uncovered.
    D．The tube by Steve Jobs.
    小题3:How old is Steve Jobs now?
    A．58 years old .
    B．20 years old.
    C．30 years old.
    D．48 years old.

    In December of l 992．I was a happy husband and father of two young children．A month later，I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia(急性白血病)．
    After two years of chemo(化疗)that helped control the disease，my body was weak and lifeless．I felt as if I were a puppet who needed help to lift his arms or hold up his head．
    I began to run．After six months my strength had come back．On one of my runs，one where I felt I could run forever，I decided I was going to try to run a marathon．
    After telling my Dad about my plan，he told me of a program that trains people to run a marathon，while raising funds for Leukemia research at the same time．So that summer，through the Leukemia Society’s Team in Training program，I started to train for the Marine Corps Marathon．During mile after mile of uncertainty，the day finally came to run the marathon．
    On October 27，1996，at 8 A．M．，along with l9,000 other brave souls I started on a 26.2-mile journey that I will never forget．
    I first saw my wife Patty at the six-mile mark . She seemed happy that I was still looking as if I knew what I was doing，and having a good time doing it．At Mile l7，my mind was going back to those two horrible years that tried to bring my family and me down．I saw her again．The concern in her face told me she knew I was starting to struggle．I felt as if we were thinking the same，nine more miles and these last few years will be behind us．
    That thought alone pulled me forward．Mile 22，23，slowing but going，24，25，then there it was．The Iwo Jima War Memorial．I have seen nothing so grand and inspiring in my life．Three hours and forty-one minutes after I started，I crossed what I think has to be the most fitting finish line in all of road racing!
    That night the Leukemia Society gave me a pin at a post-race party that simply says，“Leukemia 26.2”．
    If God wills，my cancer may once again take away my hair and my strength，maybe even my life．But it can never take away my pin，or the fact that I am a marathoner .
    小题1:The writer decided to run a marathon because __________ .
    A．he wanted to raise money for Leukemia research
    B．he believed he was able to take the challenge
    C．he hoped to recover his strength through training
    D．his dad knew about the race and made the suggestion
    小题2:Which statement is RIGHT about the writer?
    A．He has always been dreaming of becoming a marathoner．
    B．The training he took that summer well prepared him for the race．
    C．Those running in the race were mostly Leukemia patients like him .
    D．His wife was with him during the marathon to give him support．
    小题3:Why does the writer think the finish line is the most fitting?
    A．Because running a marathon is the most suitable sport for him．
    B．Because the memorial is the most powerful construction he has seen．
    C．Because he considers it a victory over his disease to finish the race．
    D．Because 26.2 miles is the most reasonable distance for road racing．
    小题4:Which of the following can best describe the writer?
    A．Optimistic and outspokenB．Strong-willed and determined
    C．Generous and easy-goingD．Brave and warm-hearted

    My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known company. One day, I was put through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."
    Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.
    I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.
    About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he’d never met.
    小题1: The author was then probably working for ______.
    A．a travel agencyB．a cigarette company
    		C．an e-shopping storeD．a vacation school
    小题2:The underlined part "collect myself" in the second paragraph probably means "_______".
    A．gather togetherB．comfort myself
    		C．relax myselfD．calm down
    小题3: What can we infer from the text?
    A．Frank was in hospital while answering the phone.
    		B．Frank is actually the author’s grandfather.
    		C．There was something wrong with Frank’s lung.
    		D．The author asked Frank to travel and he took his advice.
    小题4: We can learn from the text that the author ________.
    A．took down Frank’s name and address to visit him in person
    		B．was warmly welcomed by her customers when she called them
    		C．didn’t stop smoking even though Frank asked him to
    		D．kept in touch with Frank through letters until he died
    小题5:At Frank’s funeral the author’s 1st letter to Frank was read in order to ____.
    A．encourage people to fight against disease and live bravely
    		B．indicate that Frank touched many people’s hearts
    		C．show the good relationship between Frank and the author
    		D．praise Frank and give thanks to the author

When the Rangers scored a second time, it seemed as if the building would      from the noise. Three young men      in the row in front of us, probably in their early 20s, caught my      as my son sang along with the crowd. They smiled at us. We were all one happy and excited hockey      .

After the winning goal had been scored,the losing team's goalkeeper      the hockey puck out of the net behind him, and      it into the crowd.

    My son looked at the puck as if he had been given a golden     . "Why did that man give me the puck?"  I explained to my son that the man had given him the puck be­cause he knew how      it would make him to have a souvenir from the game, and not just any souvenir, but the puck that had been the      goal in a shootout. It was obvi­ous that he knew it would      more to my son than it would to him.
