I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and    36    in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of    37    with every recipe she prepared.

I remember one Saturday morning    38   . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I    39   , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m    40   .”

Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of    41    speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear    42   .”

“But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody.    43    I forget what I’m going to say?”

“Have you prepared    44   ?” asked Grany.

“Well, no. That would be a lot of    45    work.”

“But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.

“I love your soup, Grany.” I said.

“Well, you know, a lot of people don’t    46    homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth（肉汤）and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”

“But I don’t    47    a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be    48    bland（淡而无味的）without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little    49   .”

After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly    50    he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.

While I help Grany  51  , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to  52    my oral report.

That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was    53    with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents,    54    my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work    55   . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.tesoon

Priscilla Ouchida’s “energy-efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000 three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double-paned (双层玻璃的) windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however. Priscilla’s eyes burned. Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.

Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde (甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-to-wall carpeting.

The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is net given sufficient attention partly because of the nation’s drive to save energy. The problem itself isn’t new. “The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,” says Moschandreas a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”

The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn’t worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants produced in most households seldom build up to dangerous levels.

1. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas’ house __________

A. is well worth the money spent on its construction

B. is almost faultless from the point of energy conservation

C. failed to meet energy conservation standards

D. was designed and constructed in a scientific way

2. What made the Ouchidas’ new house a horrible dream?

A. Lack of fresh air.                                  B. Poor quality of building materials.

C. Gas leak in the kitchen.                          D. The newly painted walls.

3. The underlined word “accentuate” in the third paragraph most probably means ___________.

A. control         B. worsen                C. relieve                D. improve

4. This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled “_________”.

A. Energy Conservation                             B. Houses Building Crisis

C. Air Pollution Indoors                             D. Traps in Building Construction

    Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was about to be lost forever, by the U.S. education system. He had been failing since first grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a twelve year old, yet, Steve went unnoticed... until Miss White.

    Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break he was punished for failing to turn in his homework! Still, he did not study.

    In the middle of the first term of school, the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things.  His heart was in the woods, where he often escaped alone, trying to shut out the sights, sounds and smells of his alcoholic home. 

One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams.

    “Steve!” he turned to look at her.

       “Pay attention!”

       Steve locked his eyes on Miss White with adolescent adoration, as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

       “You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated.

       “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”

       She just stared at Steve, as the class turned around for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.

       After that, it was war!! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework even as the punishments became more severe.

       “Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

       You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing happened.

       “Give yourself a chance! Don’ give up on your life!” Nothing.

       “Steve! Please! I care about you!”

       Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it!! Someone cared about him? Someone, totally perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM!

       Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon.  He, quickly, gathered up his camping things, this time including his schoolbooks. Determined, he headed for the woods.

The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all sparkle and smiles! God, she was beautiful! He expected her smile to turn on him. It did not.

       Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test, and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart beating within his chest. As he sat down, he couldn’t resist another look at the lovely woman.

       Miss White’s face was in total shock! She glanced up at Steve, then down, then up. Suddenly, her face broke into a bright smile. The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it! And he continued this course throughout his school life.

       After high-school Steve entered the Navy, and he had a successful military career.  During his Naval career, he inspired many young people, who without him, might not have believed in themselves.

       You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.                           

1. How did Miss White’s expression change when she got Steve’s paper?   

       A. satisfied —shocked —surprised —puzzled         B. puzzled —surprised —shocked —satisfied

       C. surprised —puzzled —shocked —satisfied             D. surprised —shocked —satisfied —puzzled

D. Having being punished many times, Steve determined to work hard and passed his first test.

3. Which of the following can serve as the best title for this passage?
