　　"Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story!" Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly．

　　Suddenly, we were interrupted by clapping．"Terrific," the director said, stepping up to the stage from the aisle(过道)．“Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more?"

　　The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play．"Perfect," the director said．"Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren．" A pang of sadness hit me．If only I could read to my real grandchildren!

　　I had a granddaughter, but I'd never met her．Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly．But out of it came a blessing：a baby girl named Lena．I hoped to be a grandmother to her-- but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left．Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son's ex-wife, but it seemed that she didn't want to be found．

　　I'd just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play．At least now I could pretend to be a grandma．The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of the show arrived．The performance was great．"You all looked so natural up there," one of my friends said．

　　Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments．I walked over to one of the girls in the play．Rehearsals had been in such a hurry that we never really got to talk．"How's my granddaughter?" I joked．

　　"Fine!" she answered．Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name．

　　I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly．But it made me ask her another question．"What's your mother's name?"

　　She told me．I was still in shock．"And what's your father's name?" I asked．It was my son．

　　She'd only started going to that church a week before I did．Since that day of the play, we've stayed close．Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma．

第二部分：阅读理解(共25小题，第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分)

第一节：阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 A

Endless sea, sand and sunshine on a tiny island--everyone' s idea of heaven. Who wouldn' t want to live in such a place.?

One person who certainly does is Ben Southall, from the UK. The 34-year-old was one of more　than 34,000 people who applied for the post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island, Australia, which　the local government called "the best job in the world". The position starts in July and runs for six months. The salary is 150,000 Australian dollars(780,639 yuan).

Why Southall? Well, first let's take a look at the criteria(标准) for the job: "We're looking for applicants who like to have adventures, have a great love of the outdoors and have good commu-nication skills. "

On his application video, Southall expressed a love of adventure and included photographs of himself riding an ostrich(鸵鸟 ), running a marathon, diving, and kissing a giraffe. "From the time he was announced in the Top 50, and then the Top 16, Southall did a great job by showing true ex-citement about Queensland," Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said in a statement.

"His ideas for how he will make the role his own.., as well as his ability to rise to a challenge impressed the judges and helped him to win his place in the top job," Lawlor said.

Southall was born in Coventry, UK and used his parents' home as a base for his adventures. He had an old Land Rover that he used for a charity-fund-raising trek(跋涉) across Africa which in-volved joining in five marathons( a 42.16 km race) and climbing five mountains.

"It was sometimes hard work to make him get his head down and do his work because he always wanted to be outside," his mother said about his early years.

"He wanted to go surfing in South Africa, so he got a job house-sitting to pay for it. We regu-larly ask him when he is going to get a proper job, but he is confident and has a strong set of friends and is a great social animal. Now he has got the perfect job for his skills," said his father.

So, you see? No matter what type of person you are, there's always the possibility of getting a dream job. How' s that? Just read the job descriptions carefully and think about how your skills and qualities fit with the ones needed for the job. That' s what Southall did to get his job.

41. The post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island is said-to be the best job in the world mainly because of_____

A. a beautiful landscape B. a short working time

C. great pay for a fun job D. very good weather

42. According to Lawlor, what wasn' t the reason that helped Southall win the job?

A. His outstanding application video

B. His passion for the job and ability to face up to challenges

C. His great love of adventures

D. His true excitement about the Austrilian lifestyle

43. Which of the following statements about Southall is true?

A. He did a poor job in school when he was young.

B. He worked as a house-sitter to raise charity funds.

C. He has won five marathons.

D. He is good at communicating with others.

44. We can leam from Southall that_____

A. the world offers opportunities for everyone

B. setbacks will only make you stronger
