    They stood outside the door – two children in shabby outgrown coats.

    “Any old papers, lady?”

    I was busy, I wanted to say no until I saw the snow on their clothes. And their little sandals (凉鞋) were also covered with snow.

    “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”

    There was no conversation. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and toast with jam to strengthen them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household.

    The silence in the front room got me to look inside. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

    “Am I rich? Mercy, no! ”

    I looked at my shabby sofa. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully.

    “Your cups match your saucers, she said.”

    They left then, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. Plain blue cups and saucers. But they matched.

    I tasted the potatoes and looked at the meat. Potatoes and meat, the roof over my head, my man with a good steady job – these things matched, too.

    I moved the chairs back from the fire and tidied the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. I let them be. I wanted them there in case I ever forget again how very rich I am.

    1.Why did the author let the two children in?

        A．To offer them some warm clothes

        B．To serve them some cocoa and food

        C．To sell them some old paper

        D．To show off her matched cups and saucers

        A．the author was very rich and unkind

        B．the children took away the cups and saucers

        C．the author’s husband had a steady job

        D．the two children were looking for jobs.

    3.It can be inferred from the passage that          .

        A．it was snowing outside when the story happened

        B．the two children put some money on the table before leaving.

        C．the two children had never seen a matched cup and saucer.

        D．the author gave the cups and saucers to the two children

    4.The best title of the story would be “        .”

        A．Any Old Papers, Lady?            B．Lady, Are You Rich?

    It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California’s beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark’s dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?
    Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
    Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
    Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You’re on your way.”
    Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
    For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
    It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
    【小题1】What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?

    A．To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.
    B．To be the first to climb El Capitan.
    C．To climb the highest mountain in California.
    D．To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.
    【小题2】How did Mark climb the mountain?
    A．He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.
    B．He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
    C．He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
    D．He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.
    【小题3】 How did Mark lose the use of his legs?
    A．He lost his footing and fell from the side of a mountain.
    B．He fell during his first attempt on El Capitan.
    C．His legs were broken by falling rocks.
    D．While working out in the gym, he injured his backbone.
    【小题4】What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb?
    A．He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.
    B．A strong wind blew him away from the rock.
    C．He kept falling several inches.
    D．While swaying in space, he became terrified.
    【小题5】How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb?
    A．He admitted that he was frightened.
    B．He often worried about his friend’s condition.
    C．He was able to remain clam and determined.
    D．He was joking to cheer himself up.

    When an NBA player is young, he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later ______ he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.

    There is no better example of the value of ______ than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. ______, none of them had any titles（头衔） to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to play together, caring little ______ money and fame. Garnett and Allen ______ Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.

    It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the best athletes in the world. They treat every second of every ______ as it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. Therefore, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their ______ effort too.

    Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and ______ defense（防卫）. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that _______. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost ______, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. ______, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to ______ their friends and teammates.

    Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still affect the game by cheering, so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have ______ a strong relationship. They are ______ just teammates. They are brothers.

    The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, “A successful team beats with one ______.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.
