As the hot tears rolled down her cheeks, I knew I had asked the wrong question. The ___21___reverberated(回荡)in my mind: Widowed or divorced? I looked into the lady’s __22___, now dampened (使潮湿)with the __23___ tears my words had caused.
“ Well, you could call me widowed,” she replied. “ My husband ___24___ five months ago .”
“ I am so ____25___ ,” I mumbled. “ I need it to fill out your credit application.”
“Don’t worry about it, honey,” she ____26___. “if I never thought about it, I would not ___27____ the love and the memories we shared. Even after 50 years of ___28____ ,each passing moment would bring a deeper meaning to the word love. Now, trust me, I know how ____29___ that sounds. We had our share of challenging times, but in the end ____30___ of that mattered.”
Unsure of what to say, I laughed ___31___ . I picked up the phone to relay her information. After finally completing the credit application, I ____32____ to find myself riveted(固定) to the lady’s face again.
Her eyes began to sparkle ___33___ she continued in a heart-to-heart way. I couldn’t believe someone could open up to a perfect stranger, but it was not my place to ___34____ . I enjoyed listening to her just as much as she ___35___ having somebody to talk to.
“ Have you ever been ____ 36___?” she  asked.
I couldn’t help but ___37____. “Ah, no.” I replied. “I’m only 16.”
“Sixteen?” she murmured. “That’s a great age, an age of ____38____. There’s so much worth learning.”
She then spoke in a whipser, “Never take anyone for granted. If you are in ____39___ with someone, let it known. Otherwise, life may pass you by. Don’t spend your life angry . The ridiculous arguments which you think are important won’t even be remembered in a short time.”
Then, she hugged me and thanked me for letting her talk. As she turned to walk away, I could see that tears still hung in her eyes, but the smile that lit her face was amazing. After that,    I have never seen that woman again, but her words of inspiration still live in me. At that time, the words were only little bits of advice. Now, ___40___, they are the words which I try to live by, words that will always remind me of my special friend.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to   36  in order to pay the high school cost for my brother and me. They don’t act in the   37  ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too   38  for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Lovers’ Day is even more out of   39 .
One day, Mom was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I sat   40  beside her. “Mom, I have a question. Is there   41  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with   42  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She   43  her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had   44  her. I was very regretful and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said   45 , “Look at this thread. Sometimes it   46 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and long-lasting. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can   47    be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is   48 .”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t   49  her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned home, they both looked   50 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and sunset, my mother helped my father walk   51  on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan ,” he said kindly. “To tell you the truth, I just like   52  with your mom.”   53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and   54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just   55  in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932, I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to a sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station—and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person. “Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said. I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration (挫折) boiled over. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, “What was you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding (在前的) autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game! On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
小题1:The writer shows his _____ by saying “… if I’d not gotten the job at Montgomery Ward”.
A.regret B.happinessC.gratefulnessD.disappointment
小题2:   The underlined phrase “out in the sticks” probably means _____?

A.it was his mother’s words that encouraged him

C.nothing good has happened to him up to now
D.he got turned down every time he tried

A.There was a small radio station in Dixon, Illinois.
B.Peter MacArthur was a program director in Scotland.
C.WOC Radio in Davenport broadcast imaginary games.
D.Montgomery Ward had a store with a sports department.
小题5:When did the writer decide to take a radio-announcing job?
A.When he hitchhiked to Chicago.B.After he graduated from college.

When you leave school,you can breathe sigh of relief and leave learning behind,right?Wrong!Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong,and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.

An English idiom says,“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But scientists have discovered that isn’t true. Older people can learn,and they should,in order to keep their brain active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend One Day University. They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70-minute lectures. Each one is given by a top university professor. One of the original participants said,“It’s like a health club for the brain.” Also,universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free!Libraries offer learning programs too. With so much available,there is no excuse not to learn!
Learning is a habit. Don’t leave it behind after you leave school. On the website lifehack.org,author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.
Always have a book. It doesn’t matter if you read fast or slow. Just read. If you read just one book a week,you’ll read 52 over the course of a year. Think of the knowledge you’ll gain!
Practice it. As you read,do something with what you’ve learned. Don’t just enjoy the mental exercise. Use the knowledge. If you read about painting,try it!
Make a “to learn” list. Compose a “to learn” list for yourself. Maybe you want to speak better English,play the piano,or cook French food. Whatever interests you,put it on your list and then make the time to do it.
Teach others. Whatever you learn,teach someone else. You’ll not only help others but also understand what you’ve learned.
小题1:What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Make learning last a lifetime.
B.What you should do after leaving school.
C.Several tips on learning.
D.A new trend in learning.
小题2:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.You don’t need to consider what you have learnt after graduation.
B.You can relax as you have escaped from the hard life of studying.
C.Leaving learning behind is what you should do after a break.
D.You should have a good rest and then go on learning.
小题3:How many ways of learning for adults in the US are mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.
小题4:Which of the following is NOT a suggestion made by Scott Young in the passage?

Walking around the corner and into the hall at three in the morning, lost in thought and dragging a mop bucket, I raised my eyes to the front counter in indifference. A man, looking to be in his mid 40’s, stood in a pink dress. A wide-edged hat stuck out over his massive frame resembling an umbrella that was a little too shabby and worn-out, making him look like a woman. The shock at seeing such a strong proud man in a cheap disgusting dress broke my heart, as well as frightened me.
Dropping my mop on the floor in surprise and picking up my face that had temporarily fallen off, I confidently walked over to the desk.
“I’m sorry,” I began to say but was confused on whether sir or madam was appropriate. “Can I help you?”
“I need a room,” he said in a gruff (粗哑的) powerful voice.
“Sure thing,” I said bringing up the registry. “Can I get your last name?”
“Hurgan,” he said briefly.
“And your first name?”
“Amanda.”
Suddenly I had to direct all of my concentration on holding back a smile. A ten second pause of silence passed while I tried to stay calm.
“Okay,” I said getting back to the job, “can I get your phone number, Amanda?”
All of the information was acquired and stored and Amanda received her room key for the night. All was well as I returned to the neglected mop bucket. Suddenly a low throaty cough drew me out of my temporary mental disorder. Looking over at the desk where Amanda stood touching her thick biceps (二头肌) I once again dropped the mop in shock.
“I’m sorry about that,” I said coming around to the desk. Amanda stared with unease twisting her sleeve with her right index finger.
“I have a cat,” she said in a low voice.
“I’m sorry you what?” I asked leaning in closer. She drew back a bit as if I was some kind of threat.
“I have a cat.”
Looking up into her tall frame, I replied, “That’s fine. We just need to add an extra $10 fee.” She handed me her credit card once again. I swiped it, returned it, and grabbed the printing receipt.
“You just need to sign here,” I said handing over the pen. She hesitantly grabbed it from my hand and signed. As she began to return it, my hand came a bit too close to connecting with hers. Scared and possibly a little disgusted she dropped the pen, causing it to bounce off the counter and onto the floor.
“Sorry,” she said, looking down. “I have to go get my cat.”
While Amanda was getting her cat, an unpleasant thought was circling around my head. Here I was just doing my job and this, this WO-MAN was acting as if I was the monster! He was wearing a pink dress! And I was the monster? Was he even still a man? The sliding doors opened and in came Amanda passing the front desk without even giving me a polite nod. 
小题1: The story most probably happened at a ________.
A.pubB.hotelC.hospitalD.shop
小题2:We can conclude that the author’s attitude towards the man is _______.
A.objectiveB.indifferentC.criticalD.considerate

I have to admit: I don’t flush(冲) the toilet every time I go to the bathroom. In fact, I firmly believe “If it’s yellow, let it mellow; if it’s brown, flush it down.”
I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that I work at home. Alone (well, except for the cats and dog). All day. And I drink a lot of water, which makes for many trips to the bathroom.
Another thing I have to admit: I also try to use very little toilet paper. I wash my hands after, though. Every time. (So maybe the water I don’t use flushing makes up for the water used to wash my hands?)
Ironically, my husband, who only uses toilet paper when necessary, always flushes. But he doesn’t seem to mind that I don’t flush every time. Or, at least not enough to file for divorce. Yet.

When I’m at home alone I do not flush every time I pee(小便).  My husband hates that, though, so when he’s home, I flush a little more often.  I grew up doing that because I had a family that lived with huge tanks and you have to do it that way because it’s easier on the system, so it doesn’t bother me.  I do flush when I’m out in public, at people’s houses that don’t have big tanks and when we have company!
CherBearCM, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:21 PM
Not always. But I have 4 children who are always hanging from the door knob(球形捏手) while I pee anyway. So I’m lucky I have time to wash my hands after. The average toilet uses 8 gallons of water per flush! Much less than what it takes to wash my hands after. (just saying)

Sean and Danielle were leaving the music store when they heard the crash. "What do you suppose that was?" asked Sean.
"I don't know for sure," said Danielle, "but it sure sounded bad. It's right over there. Let's go and look."
Sean and Danielle knew they would see an accident. But they didn't know what to expect. There in the middle of the street was a bicycle that had been hit by a car. The bicycle rider was sitting in the street, shaking his head.
"Look at that," said Sean, "he's not even wearing a helmet. He is one lucky guy".
"No kidding," Danielle replied. "Look at the driver of the car. She's just as lucky. She's not wearing a seat belt.
Sean and Danielle are right. The bicycle rider is very lucky, he was not hurt. Riding a bicycle is a lot of fun, but it can also be very dangerous. You have to pay attention all the time to what you're doing. You also have to follow safety rules.
When you ride a bicycle, remember that you share the road with cars and trucks. These vehicles are a lot bigger than you are. So, always wear a helmet when riding your bicycle. Always means "every time" even if you are just riding around the block.
Follow the same rules as car and truck drivers. Bicycle riders also have some special rules. Here are some special rules you should follow:
● Do not ride your bicycle on the sidewalk. By not riding on the sidewalk, you won't run into a pedestrian.
● Ride on bike paths or trails when they are available.
● Always ride in the same direction as traffic.
● Always ride on the right-hand side of the road.
● When you ride with a friend, do not ride next to each other. Ride in single field, one behind the other.
● Obey all traffic signals and signs. Stop at all stop signs.
● Walk your bicycle across busy crossings.
● Be sure to use hand signals when you turn and stop.
Follow these safety rules when riding a bicycle at night.
● Have a headlight that works.
● Have these reflectors on your bicycle: yellow or white in front, and red ones on the pedals and back.
● Wear light-colored clothing so drivers can see you.
You should always keep your bicycle in good working order. Make sure the brakes work properly and that your tires have enough air. If you find anything wrong with your bike, fix it or have it fixed before you ride it again.
小题1:How did Sean and Danielle know that they would see an accident?
A.They saw somebody falling off the bike.B.They heard the sound of the crash.
C.They were asked to offer some help.D.They remembered what might happen.
小题2:What Sean and Danielle saw in the middle of the street __________.
A.were a bicycle, the rider, a car and the driver
B.was a bicycle under the damaged car
C.was a car without safe belt and the helmet
D.surprised both the rider and the car driver
小题3:Why did Sean and Danielle consider the rider and the driver lucky?
A.Because the bicycle and the car were lost.
B.Because the rider didn’t wear his helmet.
C.Because they both were not badly hurt.
D.Because the driver didn’t wear the seat belt.
小题4: From the passage, we learn that _________.
A.carelessness can result in accidentsB.we can’t ride bicycles in the street
C.the driver was quite rude to the riderD.the bicycle rider was sent to hospital
小题5:Which of the following breaks the rules for a safe bicycle riding?
A.Get off your bicycle and walk across busy crossings.
B.Follow the safety rules as the car and truck drivers do.
C.Fix light reflectors to your bicycle when riding at night.
