    It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn’t think there would be any    , sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies       at my desk, a pale woman and four children.
    “Are you all       ?” I asked. “Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
    But when it came to     of their problems, things got a little strange. They all claimed to have headaches, but the headaches weren’t       by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still.
    Something was wrong. Our hospital policy,       , was not to turn away any patient. I explained it might be a little while       a doctor saw her. She responded immediately, even a bit       “Take your time,” and then added, “It’s warm in here.”
    Then, I checked their registration form out of curiosity. No address—they were      .The waiting room was warm. I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a homeless      in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining of       on Christmas, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get       on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there’s a       emergency. But this was a Christmas emergency.
    We were all       a free meal on Christmas Day, so we took back that meal and prepared a big dinner for our    .We needed presents. We    from different departments candies, fruits and other things     that could be presents. As seriously as we met the      needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas.
          , as the family walked to the door to leave, the mother came         back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”

    (2013·高考福建卷，A)When I was 12，all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring.They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven.
    What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”．We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
    Then，only one month later，I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually，I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later，we sold the house and moved away.
    Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn’t my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift­giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You’ll recognize this one，”she said，smiling.
    Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
    The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring.They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
    And it still fits me.

    Three men were travelling across the desert when their car broke down. There were no other traffics, so their only hope was to walk.
    Before they set off, they looked around in the car for useful things to take with them. One of the men took a bottle of whisky. Another took an umbrella. The third unscrewed a door from the car and carried that.
    After they had been walking for almost a day, they came across a camel caravan travelling towards them.
    “Let’s try to join the caravan,” one of the men said. “It’s going the wrong way but we’ll be safer than if we keep on alone across the desert.”
    The other s agreed, so they asked the leader of the caravan for permission to join it.
    “You can join the caravan only if you answer three questions,” he said. He pointed to the first man’s bottle. “What is that and why are you carrying it?” he asked.
    “It’s a bottle of whisky. I decided to carry it with me so that if I feel miserable and want to give up, I can get drunk, cheer myself up and then keep on walking.”
    “Very sensible,” the leader of the caravan said. Then he pointed to the next man and his umbrella.
    “It hasn’t rained in the desert for many years,” he said. “Why are you carrying an umbrella?”
    “I don’t want to get heat exhaustion,” he replied. “The umbrella will give me shade from the sun.”
    “Very sensible,” the leader of the caravan said. He pointed to the third man and his car door. “And why are you carrying a car door?” he asked him.
    “I thought that if I got too hot I could open the window and let some air in,” he explained.

    Davey wanted to play baseball. But fifty years ago, in his small town, he couldn’t find enough players for two full teams or an empty lot big enough for a field. And when he played ball in his back yard, he just broke windows and got into trouble. So Davey began playing with a plastic golf ball and a broom handle for a bat.
    When his dad, David Mullaney, a former semi-pro baseball pitcher(投手), realized his son was hurting his arm trying to throw curves with the little plastic ball, he decided to find a better solution. Mullaney got a bunch of hollow plastic spheres from a local factory, sat down at his kitchen table and began cutting different size holes in the balls with a razor knife. He thought maybe the holes would alter the ball’s flight and help his son throw curves and sliders without hurting his arm.
    All the balls failed—except the one with the eight oblong(长椭圆形的) holes cut into one of the hemispheres. This ball curved naturally and sharply without a violent snap of the wrist. In fact, Davey was now striking out so many batters; he called his new ball a “wiffle ball”. A year later, Mullaney borrowed $20,000 from family and friends and started producing Wiffle Balls in his little suburban town of Shelton, Connecticut.
    “I didn’t want investors.” He said, “I wanted to control my own company.” This was the beginning of one of the hottest fads(时尚) of the fifties and a perennial(长久的) best seller well known all around the world. Since then millions of boys and girls have enjoyed countless hours of safe, wholesome fun playing with a Wiffle ball and bat. Esquire Magazine has even called the Wiffle Ball “a national treasure”. By producing a high quality product at an affordable price, three generations of Mullany’s have enjoyed the satisfaction and benefits of running a successful and profitable family business.
    Over the years, they’ve had plenty of offers to buy them out, but they’re still working out of a small factory in Shelton, making a new Wiffle Ball every couple of seconds. Creativity and persistence are two of the important sources for wealth. If he gave up his attempts at trying new things, Mullany would not have invented the wiffle ball, nor would he have made such a big fortune.
    小题1:From the passage we can know that           .          
    A．Mullaney made the invention of Wiffle ball with the help of his son
    B．fifty years ago people didn’t like playing baseball very much
    C．Mullaney’s attempts to help Davey better enjoy ball-playing led to the invention of Wiffle ball
    D．playing balls would hurt one’s arm before the Wiffle ball’s appearance
    小题2:All the following are true EXCEPT         .
    A．Davey was a good ballplayer after the Wiffle ball came into existence
    B．David Mullaney wanted to run the family business on his own
    C．Mullaney’s family made a big fortune through the production of Wiffle balls
    D．Mullaney’s business was nearly bought out but they worked hard to keep it
    小题3:The underlined word “spheres” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to         .
    A．ballsB．bottlesC．bagsD．boxes
    小题4:The two important factors for Mullaney’s successful family business are         .
    A．time and fortune　B．persistence and creativity
    C．quality and fameD．cooperation and efforts
    小题5:The passage mainly tells us something about         .
    A．Davey, a famous baseball playerB．a popular ball game in the 1950’s
    C．the birth of Wiffle ballD．the success of a family business

    My day began on a definitely sour note when I saw my six-year-old wrestling with a limb of my azalea（杜鹃花）bush. By the time I got outside, he’d broken it. “Can I take this to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes.
    The washing machine had leaked on my brand-new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix it the night before when I asked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan.
    It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out.
    Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As I finished hanging up the last of my husband’s shirts, I looked at the clock. 2:30. I was late. Jonathan’s class let out at 2:15 and I hurriedly drove to the school.
    I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teacher’s door and peered through the glass. She rustled through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said.
    I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. “Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher insisted. “See that little girl?” I watched the bright-eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded.
    “Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didn’t want to live, she wished she could die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, ‘Nobody loves me.’ I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse.” “I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan,” I said.
    “I do,” she said, touching the sleeve of my blouse. “Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, ‘I love you.’“
    I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank you,” I said, reaching for Jonathan’s hand, “you’ve made my day.”
    Later that evening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a biblical verse came to me: “...these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” While my son had put love into practice, I had only felt anger.

    I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
    My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left.
    The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.
    I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
    When I told her that they didn’t have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”
