A young soldier found himself in a terrible battle during the Scottish Reformation. The enemy was 1 this young man's army on a large scale. He and his comrades 2 themselves hurriedly retreating(撤退)from the battle field in defeat, 3 away in fear of losing their lives. The enemy gave chase. This young man ran hard and fast,full of fear and desperation. Soon he found himself 4 off from his comrades in the army.
He eventually came upon a rock mountain containing a cave. Knowing the enemy was close 5 and that he was exhausted from the chase,he chose to hide there. After he crawled(爬)in,he fell to his face in the 6 ,desperately crying to God to save him and protect him from his enemies. He also made 7 with God. He promised that if God saved him,he would serve Him for the rest of his days.
While he lifted his head with 8 hope,he saw a spider beginning to weave its web at the entrance to the cave. As he watched the 9 threads being slowly drawn across the mouth of the cave,the young soldier thought about its irony. He thought,“I asked God for 10,and he sent me a spider instead.”
His heart was hardened, 11 the enemy would soon discover his hiding place.
And soon he did hear the 12 of his enemies,who were now searching the area looking for those in hiding. One soldier with a gun 13 walked up to the caves entrance. As the young man crouched(蹲伏)in the darkness, 14 to surprise the enemy in a last一minute 15 attempt to save his own life,he felt his heart pounding 16 out of control.
As the enemy 17 moved forward to enter the cave,he came upon the spiders web,which by now was completely covering across the opening. He 18 and called out to a comrade,“There cant be anyone in here. They would have had to 19 this spider's web to enter the cave. Let's move on.”
Years later, this young man made good his 20 by becoming a preacher(布道者).

AHeading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”
Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!
【小题1】 The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.
A.impressing professors | B.getting on well with classmates |
C.creating a professional image | D.dressing appropriately |
A.choose a logo that suits their age |
B.try to load up on well-known logos |
C.use logos to show who they are |
D.find their identity by trying different logos |
A.leggings and baggy shirts are too common |
B.yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable |
C.real pants can present you with appropriate maturity |
D.people like real pants better than the other pants |
A.They make people look lovely. |
B.They are very fashionable these days. |
C.They will show you’re an animal lover. |
D.They are not suitable for college-aged students. |
A.Business Week. | B.Parents. | C.In style. | D.Travel & Leisure. |

John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.
????????????? During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like.
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting —7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You’ll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he’d never seen.
????????????? I’ll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I stared at her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way , sailor?” she murmured.
????????????? Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.
????????????? And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.
????????????? This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. "I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"
? ????????????? It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are. "

In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry. She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab. He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.
The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street. She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.
During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news. Tears came down her cheek. Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed. Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen. There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve.
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches. If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness. Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”
1. The underlined phrase “in collusion with” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________.”
A. was forced by B. was fighting bravely against
C. was doing one’s best to beg D. had cooperated with
2. From the passage, we learn that ________.
A. robbers are sure to get what they want
B. somebody never runs out of good luck

3. The writer presents the second example in order to ________.
A. warn people of the danger of winning the lottery
B. tell people life is unpredictable
C. encourage people to buy lottery
D. persuade people not to be greedy
4. According to the author, which of the following choices is the correct attitude to adopt to life?
A. Never waste any time or energy because time is so limited.
B. One needn’t be worried or feel frustrated. Believe in yourself.
C. Even while everything appears to be going smoothly, we should keep fully alert.
D. Worrying about what you don’t have
5. The passage above is intended to tell us ________.
A. misfortune sometimes is a blessing
