A young soldier found himself in a terrible battle during the Scottish Reformation. The enemy was   1  this young man's army on a large scale. He and his comrades  2   themselves hurriedly retreating（撤退）from the battle field in defeat,   3   away in fear of losing their lives. The enemy gave chase. This young man ran hard and fast，full of fear and desperation. Soon he found himself   4   off from his comrades in the army.

    He eventually came upon a rock mountain containing a cave. Knowing the enemy was close   5   and that he was exhausted from the chase，he chose to hide there. After he crawled（爬）in，he fell to his face in the   6  ，desperately crying to God to save him and protect him from his enemies. He also made   7   with God. He promised that if God saved him，he would serve Him for the rest of his days.

   While he lifted his head with   8    hope，he saw a spider beginning to weave its web at the entrance to the cave. As he watched the   9   threads being slowly drawn across the mouth of the cave，the young soldier thought about its irony. He thought，“I asked God for   10，and he sent me a spider instead.”

    His heart was hardened， 11   the enemy would soon discover his hiding place.

    And soon he did hear the   12   of his enemies，who were now searching the area looking for those in hiding. One soldier with a gun   13   walked up to the caves entrance. As the young man crouched(蹲伏）in the darkness,   14   to surprise the enemy in a last一minute  15   attempt to save his own life，he felt his heart pounding   16   out of control.

   As the enemy   17    moved forward to enter the cave，he came upon the spiders web，which by now was completely covering across the opening. He   18   and called out to a comrade，“There cant be anyone in here. They would have had to   19   this spider's web to enter the cave. Let's move on.”

    Years later, this young man made good his   20   by becoming a preacher（布道者）．

It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and John usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too tired. He was in a small town just outside of Little Rock when he drove by a flower shop. He said to himself. “I know what I will do, I’ll send Mom some roses.”

   He went into the small shop and saw a young boy talking to the clerk. “How many roses can I get for six dollars, ma’am?” The boy asked. The clerk was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with carnations.

   “No. I have to have roses,” he said. “My Mom was sick so much last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that’s her favourite.”

The clerk looked up at John and was just shaking her head. Something inside of John was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so bad. John had been blessed in his business, and he looked at the clerk and silently mouthed that he would pay for the boy’s roses.

The clerk looked at the young man and said, “Okay, I will give you a dozen red roses for your six dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran from the store. It was worth the extra thirty-five dollars just to see that kind of excitement.

John ordered his own flowers and had the clerk to be sure that delivery would include a note telling his mother how much he loved her. As he drove away from the shop, he was feeling very good. He caught a light about two blocks from the shop. As he waited at the light, he saw the young boy walking down the sidewalk. He watched him cross the street and enter a park through two huge gates. Suddenly, he realized it wasn't a park. It was a cemetery(墓地). He saw the young man stop by a small monument and go to his knees. He carefully laid the roses on the grave and began to cry.

As he cried, John heard the young man speak, “Mommy, oh Mommy, why didn’t I tell you how much I love you. Why didn’t I tell you one more time? Jesus, please, find my Mommy. Tell my Mommy I love her."

John turned, tears in his eyes, and walked back to his car. He drove quickly to the flower shop and told her he would take the flowers personally. He wanted to be sure and tell his Mother one more time just how much he loved her.

 A. Because he had a lot of money.

B. Because they are good friends.

3. According to the passage, which sentence is true?

A. The young man’s mother has passed away.

B. The young man often tells his mother that he loves her.

C. John often goes home to visit his mother.

D. John doesn’t love his mother.

Once upon a time a man became a great archer(射手)．He asked the king to declare
him as the greatest archer of the country．The king was about to do so when an old
servant of the king said，“Wait，sir．I know an old man who lives in the forest．He is a
much greater archer．Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three
years．”
The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he
went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him．Then one
day, when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this
old man，then 1 will be the greatest archer．”
The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood On his
shoulder．The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him．He shot an arrow．The
old man took a small piece of wood and threw it．It struck the arrow and the arrow
turned back and wounded the young man very deeply．The old man came，took Out the
arrow and said。“I knew that some day or other you were going to do this．That’s  why
I have not taught you this secret．There is no need to kill me．My Master is still alive，
and I’m nothing before him．You must be with him for at least thirty years．And he is
very old, so go fast! Find the old man!”
