My father died when I was a few months old. After his death, my mother moved back to Louisville, Kentucky, where 1 had grown up. We lived in a small house with her older sister, Marion, and their mother. This was a time when being a single 2 was still considered unusual. When I was small, there was a children"s book called The Happy Family, and it was a real piece of work. Dad worked all day long at the office, Mom cooked in the kitchen, and brother and sister always had friends sleeping over. The image of the family in this book was typical (典型的) of the time. It looked 3 like my family, but luckily that wasn"t the way I heard it. The way my Aunt Marion read it to me made the story really 4 . Kind-hearted and open-minded, my aunt was the one who played baseball with me, who took me horseback riding, who took me to the father-son dinners and who gave me lessons on how to drive. Believing that anything 5 was probably good for me, she 6 to get a loan (贷款) so that I could go to Africa to work as a volunteer, which was my most important experience. As a young girl, Aunt Marion always planned to have a large number of children of her own, but she never got married. This 7 that she was free to spend all her time taking care of me. Many people say we have a lot in common. She always 8 me to do my best. She never 9 to make me believe that I could do anything with my life that I wanted, if I only tried hard enough. For more than sixty years, Aunt Marion didn"t and still doesn"t think of herself. 10 she is forced to come up to the front, my aunt will stand in the back in family photos, and she doesn"t think that her efforts have made much 11 . I honor my aunt, who taught me the things my 12 couldn"t. So every June for the past 40 years, in growing thanUulness to my Aunt Marion, I"ve sent her a Father"s Day card. |

阅读理解。 | | When you cough or sneeze, you"d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, "Excuse me". This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch. | | If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, thenyou can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through. After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they"ve been told, they"re halfway there. | | When we have to go up moving stairs,we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stais. When we are going to entera lift,the underground,or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter. After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made effort to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter. | 选词填空。 | time have sea and like spend cool | 完形填空。 | Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned twelve, a white gardenia was delivered to my house.

If you continue to be this rude, you will get into big trouble. " It"s been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something l didn"t want to hear.

" Surprised at his reaction, I sat back in my seat. Never had I seen Nathaniel act like this before. Later on, we were taken to the principal"s ofrice. There, Mr. Black, the principal, told us to discuss the matter. It wasn"t until then that I finally found chat when I hurt someone physically, the wounds eventually heal. But when I hurt them with my words, sometimes the pain (痛苦) never goes away. At the end of the discussion, I said sorry to Nathaniel. When I headed back to my room, I spent some time praying. I began to think about how often what I said hurt others. But I believe that as l keep praying and asking God to help me, he"ll tell me when to keep my mouth closed. | 1.
