Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could pay on the monkey bars
and ride on a bicycle, but not  41 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much  42  than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people  43  at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing  44  and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the  45  and seeing my ugly hunchback.(驼背)
My friends found me  46  because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life  47  Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school--- a spot where no one would   48   me. That’s when I first heard her voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No  49   .”
“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our  50  started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun---the ants, the clouds, my little niche(处境)---until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, she saw my  51  . She just started.
My heart  52 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would  53  me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know  54   your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be  55 . I begged in my heart for her to  56 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answer  57 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was  58 . I looked into her eyes and her  59  touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to  60  myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones of cows mooing, goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards that have wandered into human settlements, officials said on Monday.
The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people. But rather than use methods such as live bait(诱惑物) like goats tied to trees to lure the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.
“The moos of a cow, bleating of a goat from the phone has proved effective to trap leopards,” said D. Vasani, a senior forest official in Gujarat. “This trick works.” Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage. They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.
At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago. The cats have all been released back into forest areas.
Wildlife activists welcomed the new initiative saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured.
小题1:What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Cell Phones to Hunt Animals
B.Practical Uses of Cell Phones
C.Wildlife and New Technology
D.Phone Ringtones to Catch Leopards
小题2:Forest guards in India try to catch leopards mainly because ______.
A.leopards attack villagers
B.they want leopard fur
C.leopards attack animals
D.they have new ringtones
小题3:What will be needed to trap the leopards using the new method?
① cell phones   ②animals    ③ sounds of animals   ④ cages    ⑤large pits
A.①②③④B.①③④C.①④⑤D.②③⑤

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just  36 in with severe burns on his face,neck and arms.We have called for a(n)  37  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was  38 
The doctor described the  39 ,which caused the burns.At 6 am,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.When they   40  the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames  41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
  42 ,one of the boys was quick-minded,grasped my son,and  43 him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not in  44  to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).
After he  45 from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months  46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch, very 47__ scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not  48 it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.’’
I  49 this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not  51 , sohe made the  52 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe  53 people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different,or dressed differently,people would like us better. 
But you see,people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes,if you are judging yourself by these same  54 standards.Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  55 yourself,and your beauty will shine through.

I went into Harrods in London (a huge department store I am sure you have heard of) to buy some Minton china plates for a wedding anniversary which was to be a group gift from friends to other friends in Geneva.
Having only 30 minutes between meeting. I whizzed there in a taxi from the office and battled through the milling people on the 2nd day of the sales on the ground floor up to the 5th to the china department. There was a man standing there who was obviously a sales person who I rushed up to and asked if he had this particular china in stock and if it would take long to wrap, etc. He was amazing. He got the plates in seconds, wrapped them up and asked me if I wanted a store card, to which I replied no, because I lived in Switzerland, to which he replied asking if, as I lived abroad, would like a tax rebate form(退税表). After that he showed me what to do, produced a map of the store and told me where I should go for the formalities(程序). That was fabulous! I thanked him and said what wonderful service he had given me. I even asked if he gave this to everyone, to which he answered: “I’m just doing what is required at Harrods”. With that, a tall man in a gray suit approached me and offered his hand to shake mine saying, “Can I introduce myself? I am the Chief Executive of Harrods and what an interesting conversation I have just heard…” He had been wandering through the store (as you should do as a hands-on CEO) and had overheard me thanking this salesman, whose face, I can hardly describe, was frozen in a mixture of delight awe and astonishment!
Can you imagine the salesman going home to his family and friends recounting what the CEO spoke to him after overhearing him being praised by a customer?
小题1:The writer went to Harrods to __________.
A.kill timeB.buy some giftsC.go sightseeingD.shop for her wedding
小题2:What does the underlined word “whiz” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A.“I’m an honest man.”
B.“I must obey the rules.”
C.“Harrods is strict with its employees.”
D.“Anybody will receive our good service.”
小题4:As soon as she bought what she wanted, the writer________.

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.
On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.
I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.
“No,” I said.
“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.
As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.
My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I strive to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.
小题1:The author admired her mom for ________.
A.her kindness to othersB.her excellent teaching
C.her quality of honestyD.her positive attitude to life
小题2:According to Paragraph 3, when she was asked to go out with her mom, the author was ________.

小题3:From the passage we learn most children in the shelter ________.
A.were often punished by staffB.weren’t allowed to go outside
C.were once treated badlyD.all suffered from mental illness
小题4:The underlined word “reinforcement” in the passage is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.truthB.helpC.comfortD.support
小题5:What lesson did the author learn from her experience?
A.To value what you take for granted.B.To play with children is fun.
C.To love others is to love yourself.D.To do as what your parents do.

When I was in college twenty-five years ago, I spent four summers working in 36 at a luxury hotel in downtown Chicago. 37 , I was a maid.
I did not enter the world of housekeeping enthusiastically. My friends had 38 jobs such as making ice cream, selling goods at the mall, or life guarding at the outdoor pool. I had been hoping to get a job as an office lady for a famous company: 39 pay, air-conditioned office, the gold standard for summer jobs, as most of us dreamed of. When that 40 , the only option left was to take a train ride downtown each morning to work as a maid.
It was tiring work, cleaning up to eighteen rooms a day. My 41 attitude reflected my disdain(鄙视) for cleaning toilets, 42 bed sheets, dusting, eight hours a day for the comfort of total strangers who 43 left a tip. I thought it was beneathme. My maid work was average 44  the day I was assigned to the eighteenth floor.
That was Lorena’s regular floor. The only time another maid set foot on it was on Lorena’s day off. If you left any water 45 on the mirror, or a hair on the bed, Lorena would hunt you down when she 46 , as I found out firsthand. She’d ended her lecture to me with “ 47 some pride in your work.”
She did. And so did Rosalie, Helen, Annette, and all the other experienced maids. Their devotion to doing a good job and their belief that their work was a 48 of their character stuck with me throughout my 49 career after graduation. I learned a lot from them during those four summers.
Not a week would go without one of them 50 some firm but friendly advice: “Where’s your commode brush? You don’t have one? How do you expect to get that bowl clean?”
Their pride in a job well done was reflected in how they treated 51 . They left the building at the end of the day in nice dresses and 52 makeup. They looked like they could have been attending an afternoon tea. And, 53 often, they were smiling and laughing, cheerfully greeting their co-workers a good evening. When you work with happiness and 54 , a job will be well done. I believe there is 55 in any job if you work hard and try your best.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s     filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so      that I decided to write an article about her.
I      Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She      and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I      I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there     , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that      Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The      was almost unbearable. I struggled for days      draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript     . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I      in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t      the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While      my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in     :
Ms. Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some more relevant materials. Please      those and return the article immediately. We would like to      your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to     . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of      writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer.      this experience, I’ve learned a very important lesson: You can’t      to doubt yourself.
