阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer.His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice, about how one day, she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her.But there was nothing wrong, he only wanted some companionship.He didn't want to be alone, so she sat with him.Goldsmith thought to himself, "There's no reason I can't do that."

  Not only did he do it, but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates.Last month, Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith, 18, for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a $500 annual scholarship for him, which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice.

  “ That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick, " Susie Flood said."He hasn't just given of his own time and energy, but he's encouraged others to do the same." Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House.He chose it because his mother's friend, whose story had forced him to volunteer, works there.

  "They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers, " Goldsmith said."The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to volunteer." Students must earn a certain number of service, or community-service, hours to graduate from Dowling.

  When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college, he'll give up leading the hospice service-learning program."I want us, as Dowling students, to keep making a difference, " he said.'It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people,, but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside."

Once there was a young woman who didn’t like her job. Everyday when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “Leave that job,” her husband told her.
“Oh, I will,” she said. “But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave.” And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “Leave that job,” her grandchildren told her. “Oh, I will,” she said. “But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can’t just yet.”
I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning in the sun. “Why is your dog acting that way?” a customer asked the store owner. “Oh,” answered the man. “He’s lying on a nail.” “Well, why doesn’t he move?” “Because it’s not hurting him bad enough.”
That’s true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But we’re wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self-esteem, kills our passion or destroys our dreams.
Wilbur Wright once commented, “We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn’t wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion, too.”
They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don’t change as they sometimes will, they refuse to let environment hijack(劫持) their self-esteem, passion or dreams.
【小题1】The woman complained to her husband every day because   .

A.she didn’t have enough money to support her family
B.her boss criticized her for what she had done
C.she was not satisfied with her job at all
D.her work was difficult and her boss was cruel
【小题2】From the second paragraph we can know that the woman   .
A.liked making friends with others
B.loved all of her children very much
C.left her tiring job at last
D.did exactly the same job all along
【小题3】The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means   .
A.lastingB.slightC.seriousD.hard
【小题4】People who are getting along well with their work     .
A.have to get up early every day
B.are not willing to go to work
C.need more unique gifts and talents
D.are likely to change with the situation

Chuck,unlike other frogs,didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.

Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever.

That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning,Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond,Chuck ate flies from her web.

One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast,Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.

“You're the one who keeps eating my flies!”she cried.

Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea!Why not spin (结) his own web?

He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours,until very late at night. And then he fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning,he found that he got caught by the vines.

“Help!”he shouted.

Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web.

“No matter how hard I try,I can't spin a spider's web,”Chuck said.

“Of course not,”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim,I guess.”

“But I always see you in the water,”Chuck said.

“I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees,”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.”

Chuck smiled,“I have an idea.”

From that day forward,Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond,where they floated and played together. When they returned to land,they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web.

It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog.

1.The second paragraph is written to show that Chuck ______.

A.was different from other frogs        B.didn't get along well with other frogs
