She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. Noy way could I have    36  . Maybe someone had kicked her    37   their car the night before. “No    38   for her any more with the baby coming.”“We never really wanted her,but what could we have done?She was a   39  .” People find all sorts of excuses for    40   an animal.

I called her Goldie. If I had    41   what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those    42   few days. She hardly ate anyting and had such an air of    43   about her. There was    44  I could do to make her happy,it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her    45   owner’s. But    46  at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side.

   47  we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

That’s why it was such a    48   when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were walking a long way from home,when she started    49  and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she    50   down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

By the time I    51   the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking(舔)the four puppies(幼犬)I started to feel    52   towards them. The woman at the door said,“I took her for a walk one day,    53   the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.”“She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,”   54  a boy from behind her.

I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now,and she looks just like her    55  . And I’ve learnt a good lesson:not to judge people.

The other day at a supermarket, I saw a naughty boy of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed.A little smack on his bottom would have done the job,I thought.
Teenagers also cause discipline(纪律)problems.As a teacher, I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant.In fact,she had left home to stay with him.So we decided to put her in the school hostel.She refused.When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said:“Why don't you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”
My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her,hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders.It did not.The last I heard,she had run away from home again.
The list goes on and on.Could it be that today's parents are softer and believe that they must not rod(棍棒惩罚)their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree.I believe it is the parents' duty to discipline the children even at a young age.
My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary.Later when they went abroad,they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined.Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged with child abuse(虐待).However,my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.
【小题1】The underlined word“cajole”probably means       

A.persuadeB.scoldC.forgiveD.punish
【小题2】The author would probably          .
A.beat the children every dayB.treat the children in a softer way
C.leave the children as they areD.punish the children when necessary
【小题3】We can learn from the passage that        .
A.the naughty boy’s mother hit him
B.the teacher’s daughter is living with the teacher
C.the author’s daughter was thankful for the author’s strict discipline
D.the author was charged with child abuse by her daughter’s friends abroad
【小题4】Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?
A.Spoil KidsB.Value DisciplineC.Respect ParentD.Protect Kids

A
In the early morning of September 7, 2006, Akif woke suddenly."Where am I?" she thought, confused, only to realize she'd fallen asleep in the children's bedroom in their east-end Montreal apartment.There was a sharp and acrid (刺鼻的) smell in the room.Could that be smoke? She leaped up, opened the door and began to cough.She ignored the flames that lit up the apartment as she raced across the small hall to her own bedroom, where a window was already open, "Help!" she cried into the dark.But it was 3:30 in the morning and nobody was around to hear.She was on her own.
Later, she'd say she thought of nothing at all.It was female's instinct (本能)that helped her uncover a supermum strength she never knew she had.She had no choice; her children would surely have died had they waited in their own bedroom for rescue.She ran back through the flames for her children, first lifting Sami, still half asleep, into her arms and carrying him to the open window in her room and dropping him to the ground from the second floor.Then, she turned back for Majda.
By then, a neighbour had called 9-1-1.Looking out of the window, Akif knew that jumping would be her only chance of survival.She also knew if she didn't, the very reason her family had moved out from Morocco five years earlier—— to make a better life and give the children opportunities they wouldn't have had back home ——would be for nothing.But why couldn't she move her left leg? She didn't know that her polyester pants had caught fire and melted into her body.All she knew was that she had to get out of the apartment.
56.After finding her house was on fire, Akifwent to her own room to _______.
A.save her children                            B.wake up her husband
C.ask for help                                  D.escape from the fire

A.Because they longed for a better life and more opportunities.
B.Because they had to continue their study abroad.
C.Because they were forced to leave their motherland.
D.Because they were fond of moving to new places.
59.What follows the last passage is probably about __________.

四、阅读理解选出最佳选项(共40分)
I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled(取消). I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”
At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone! ” And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless .What on earth…?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room—if you do anything to upset my husband , out you go!”
Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪)had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice. “Mom, come here! There’s this lady near my size!” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I answered. “Why are you so little?” he asked. “It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand and left.

My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids joked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.

But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.

I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have – a great family, nice friends.”

It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.

1.

Why did the mother apologize to the author?

A. Because the boy ran into the author.

B. Because the boy laughed at the author.

C. Because they boy said the author was fatter than him.

D. Because the mother thought the boy’s words had hurt the author.

2.

When did the author realize that she was too short?

A. When she grew up.

B. When she was 47 years old.  

C. When she began to go to school.

D. When she met the boy in the supermarket.

3.

Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “diminished”?

4.
