    Temperature is part of my married romance.   36  to New York from Baltimore——where there is just one small snowstorm each year——I was seated by a fireplace in my new home, with fires   37  all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.
    My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario（加拿大的安大略省）, where winter   38  from September to May and cold wind is   39 . “When Canadians have -30℃, they   40  it bravely,” he says, “Cold wind is for crybabies.（爱哭的人）”
    So to marry this man I had to learn to   41  for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me   42  jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots——comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a   43  meaning getting serious.
    That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I’d   44 . My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could   45  tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional   46  to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on   47   days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build   48 .
    49 , having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I   50  went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who   51  that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. I am   52  , in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.
    The word comfortable did not   53  refer to being satisfied. It’s from Latin, comfortare, meaning to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter；not to make us comfortable, but to make us   54  . We   55  not be warm but we are indeed comforted.

    What makes a house a home?
    Not size, of course．I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it’s readily apparent no one lives there．Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’ bed -- a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since．
    Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives．There Edwards writes, " This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped．The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar．"     
    Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he’s talking about．
    We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years．The loose windows that make noise in the wind．The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log．The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by．It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed．I lived there for only 18, but it will always be my true home．Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines．
    While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are．As Edwards writes, "Home is family．Home is safety．Home is faith．"
    Happy homecoming．
    小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．Home Means EverythingB．What’s Inside Makes Us Feel at Home

    小题2:The purpose of the second paragraph is to __
    A．mean the author likes living in grandest houses
    B．prove the author got along well with the hostess
    C．mean the feeling of home isn’t related to the size
    D．show the author’s different feelings about houses
    小题3:About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives, we know that __
    A．it was the description of Edwards’ houses
    B．it is mainly about houses
    C．it helps us understand the concept of home
    D．it was written by the author of the text
    小题4:What did the author mainly mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace ?
    A．His house was too old to live in．B．He missed the feelings of home．
    C．He hated living there．D．He missed his old friends too much．
    小题5:It can be inferred according to the text that __
    A．the author’s family were very richB．every happy home is the same
    C．the author has been living a hard life D．the author and Edwards hold similar ideas

    Dear son,
    The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
    If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36  teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37  the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
    If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
    Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  my mistakes, I always wanted the   52  thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   53  you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54  living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
    I love you, Son.
    Your father

    I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.
    I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.
    Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇员) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?
    My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.
    That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
    “Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!
    “Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!
    “How much did all of this coat?”
    “Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”
    I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.
    小题1:From the first two paragraph we can conclude that the author        
    A．had no experience using computers
    B．had no idea of what e-commerce is
    C．only used the Internet to check e-mail
    D．thought surfing the Internet was a waste of time
    小题2: The writer didn’t find out about e-commerce until       
    A．he stopped web-surfing
    B．he visited a store in his backyard
    C．his sister explained the packages she got by mail
    D．his friends told him about the online deals they made
    小题3:We can infer from the last paragraph that the author       .
    A．never enjoyed shopping that much
    B．loves the big store in her backyard
    C．feels she is a true master of the Internet
    D．has begun to enjoy online shopping
    小题4:What’s the purpose of the article?
    A．To tell the readers how he begins online shopping.
    B．To do business on the Internet.
    C．To make an online shopping ad.
    D．To advise people not to do online shopping

    If you're into sports, you've seen it happen． You've probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents （对手）  after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds． It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way． What's going on?
    It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity．
    What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect．
    Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports --- in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself． You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials．
    But sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field． Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition． Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you．
    Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life． At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project． You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers．
    小题1:The author introduces the topic of the passage by___________．
    A．showing an interesting discussion
    B．comparing several sport events
    C．explaining some game rules
    D．giving some specific examples
    小题2: When players play clean, ____________．
    A．they play in fresh airB．they play in a skilled way
    C．they play within the rulesD．they play without hurting each other
    小题3:The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________．
    A．advise readers to take some exerciseB．provide some basic sport knowledge
    C．show the meaning of sportsmanshipD．expect players to compete actively

    For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.
    I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.
    I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.
    People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.
    小题1:The underlined word “adequate” in the first paragraph probably means “    ”.
    Aclear enough       B. common enough    C. good enough  D. special enough
    小题2:The writer made the decision to improve his handwriting because        .
    A．he had planned for that for a long time
    B．he was shocked by his boss’ good handwriting
    C．he was often misunderstood because of his handwriting
    D．his boss asked him to work on his handwriting
    小题3:How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?
    A．He practiced writing mainly on his own.
    B．He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
    C．He joined a handwriting training class.
    D．He employed a coach to teach him online.
    小题4:What does the writer think of his handwriting at present?
    A．Unacceptable.B．Perfect.C．Worse.D．Better.

    The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop. The room was filled with boxes and photographs of people dressed in old-fashioned clothes, holding packages in their hands.
    “Who are these people?” I asked.
    “Satisfied customers,” answered young Mr. Hopkins. “We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I always take their picture.” Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera standing next to one wall. “Now, how can I serve you?” he added.
    By this time, I had started to trust Mr. Hopkins and had begun to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I needed to buy Christmas presents for my family and friends, and this seemed to be the perfect place to purchase them. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in Mr. Hopkins’shop. No matter what I asked for, Mr. Hopkins found it for me. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots, a leather-bound edition of the Complete Works of Mark Twain, and a sewing machine.
    I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. I promised Mr. Hopkins that I would come back soon. “I will tell all my friends about your lovely place,” I told the shopkeeper.
    “Please do not do that, sir”, said Mr. Hopkins. “This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret.” Then he took my photograph, and handed me the picture straight away.
    “That was quick!” I exclaimed. I looked at the photograph. In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought in Mr. Hopkins’ dusty shop.
    On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them. For weeks, my brother begged me to show him where to find this wonderful little shop. I finally agreed to take him to London to show him.
    When we arrived in London, we walked along Oxford Street, past the department store and found...nothing. The little shop was no longer there. In its place was an empty space being used as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there.
    As I was staring at the place where the shop should have been, an old policeman came along. “Are you looking for something sir?” he asked.
    I turned and said “I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son. I thought it was here.”
    “Oh yes,” said the policeman. “There was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son. It sold all sorts of things, but it was knocked down over 30 years ago.”
    I looked again at the place where the shop had been. Then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.
    “How strange” I exclaimed.
    小题1:How did the writer like the shop?
    A．He found it a modern big shop.
    B．He thought it a wonderful shop for all Christmas presents.
    C．He thought it a good shop with an ancient camera.
    D．He found it a dusty, old but friendly and lovely little shop.
    小题2:Which of the following is true about the shop?
    A．It was knocked down a few weeks ago.
    B．It was a well-known little shop in London.
    C．It was a special shop selling special presents.

    小题3:The word “the commodities’ in the 4th paragraph means _____.
    A．the writer’s works
    B．the goods in the shop
    C．Mr. Hopkins’ photographs
    D．Some presents left by other customers

    A used book or nearly-new kitchen gadget (配件) may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but hard economic times coupled with a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France.
    French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm Deloitte.
    The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business.
    “Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month.
    A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea.
    But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.”
    Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity.
    小题1:We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.
    A．over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts
    B．the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans
    C．80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts
    D．less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts
    小题2:According to Goldenberg, the main reason for customers to buy used goods is that _______.
    A．they want to be eco-friendly B．they want to save money
    C．it is encouraged by websites D．it is a new fashion in Europe
    小题3: All the following might be a promoted gift EXCEPT ________.
    A．a theatre ticket
    B．a second-hand book
    C．a nearly-new digital toaster
    D．a box of heavily packaged chocolate
    小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Old people are not open minded enough to accept second-hand gifts.
    B．People wish to receive second-hand gifts because of the economic downturn.
    C．Ravut’s website received a sharp decrease in visits during the Christmas holidays.
    D．In de Monclin’s opinion, people should spend more time with friends and family during holidays
