A young Scottish lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s 　　lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving!” She left home.

One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat 　　listening to the service, all the while letting her 　　wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?

She couldn’t 　　until the service was over. She stood and went to look. It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still … come home!”　 　she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too 　　to be true.

It was night, but she was so 　　by the message that she started walking home.　 　the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and 　　her way timidly. As she knocked, the door 　　open on its own. She thought someone must broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s 　　, the young girl ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”

The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s 　　. The daughter said, “I was so worried and thought someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 　　.”

第二部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题，第二节5小题;每小题2分，满分50分)

　　第一节：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。

　　　Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meetings, funding cuts, and many other administrative chores (杂务). I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering. I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldn’t sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule.

　　My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper … On the third day, … This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition (过渡), that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough. But something was missing.

　　A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students was going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my newfound “happiness” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. That’s all. My bags were packed and by the door.

　　The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work.

　　Now, it seems, the tables have turned。Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment (责任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war. Most important, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. I’ve gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries!
