I was walking down a dimly (昏暗) lit street late one evening when I heard       coming from behind bushes.      , I slowed down to listen and panicked when I realized that what I was hearing were the sounds of a struggle. Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked.
Should I get      ?
I was frightened for my own safety, and I hated       for having suddenly decided to take a(n)       route home that night. “What if I’m hurt too? Shouldn"t I just run to the nearest phone and call the police? Although it felt like a century, my thought process had only       seconds. But already the cries were growing      .
I knew I had to act fast. “How could I walk away from this?” I asked myself.
“No”, I finally resolved (决心), I could not turn my       on the fate of this unknown woman,       it means       my own life.
I am not a brave man, nor am I      . I don"t know where I found the moral (道德) courage and physical strength, but       I had finally decided to help the girl, I became suddenly changed.
I ran behind the bushes and       the attacker off the woman. Struggling, we fell to the ground,       we fought for a few minutes until the man jumped up and escaped.
      heavily, I got to my feet and       the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. In the darkness, I could certainly       her trembling shock. Not wanting to frighten her any further, I at first spoke to her from a      .
“It’s OK,” I said soothingly. “The man ran away. You’re safe now.”
There was a long pause and then I heard the words, uttered (说) in      .
“Dad, is that you?”
And then, from behind the tree,       my youngest daughter, Katherine.
God has a way of allowing us to be in the right place at the right time.

举一反三
Once, there was a woman who had so many problems, so many worries, so many troubles… that at times she felt she had more troubles than anyone else in the world!
She was depressed. She thought she could never overcome her troubles, so she decided to end her life. That night she went to sleep early and she planned to commit suicide the next morning. But that night she had a dream…
She found herself in a large cave, surrounded by gray bundles (包袱) of all shapes and sizes. Walking toward her was a woman with flowing long white hair.
“Who are you?” asked the dreamer, “and what is this place?”
“This is the cave of bundles of troubles and I am the keeper of the cave.”
“Bundles of troubles?”
“Yes,” the keeper explained, “each person who walks on the earth carries a bundle of troubles on their left shoulder.” The dreamer turned to look and there was a gray bundle on her left shoulder—it had been there all the time and she never noticed!
“If you wish,” the keeper continued,” you can take your bundle down and exchange it for another.”
“Really?” The woman lowered the bundle from her left shoulder. Oh, it felt so good to put it down. Then she picked up a beautiful bundle.
The keeper said, “Why don’t you open it and look inside?”
So the woman opened it and looked inside. “But these are the same troubles I brought here!”
The keeper of the cave smiled softly and nodded. “That’s usually what happens, but do not despair, for there is another bundle on your right shoulder that should help lighten your load.”
The woman turned and saw another bundle on her right shoulder. It had been there all the time and she never noticed! The woman took it down and opened it. Inside were her talents, her gifts, her hopes and opportunities. The woman felt her heart filled with joy and she looked up to thank the keeper of the cave, but she was gone; all were gone. And she found herself sitting up in her own bed with the morning sun streaming through the window, shining on her face.
小题1:Why did the woman decide to end her life?

Mom’s birthday present? It may be a difficult thing for some people, but for me, it is an easy thing. Mom loved flowers, so every year I sent her flowers. Actually she had a bed of irises (鸢尾花) in the backyard of her small, Indiana farm. They were beautiful. “Take some,” she said, “Dig some up and plant them on the side of your own house.”
But in my yard they became lacking in energy. A year passed, then two, but not one flower appeared. I cut back all their green leaves. I was tired of seeing them so lonely. Finally, I dug the irises up and threw them away.
About that time Mom died unexpectedly. My sister and I sold the farm. I never went back to see the irises. I just couldn’t bear seeing another family living in our home—Mom’s home. Autumn came, then winter. The following spring, as Mom’s birthday approached, I struggled with the question of how to remember her. I stared out the window and saw a few stubborn irises in my side yard sprouting (发芽), —tall, thin but flowerless. Because of seeing them, I decided to order flowers as I always did on Mom’s birthday, and send them to my sister. I wished so badly I could still send flowers to Mom. But that was impossible.
In the morning of Mom’s birthday, I was in my car ready to work. Something in the yard caught my eye. The irises! One had bloomed with flowers, big, showy and purple, as lovely as they ever had been on Mom’s farm. I smiled and turned my eyes upward. I could no longer send flowers to Mom.

Henry Ford grew up on an un-electrified farm, and as a young man he followed Edison"s career as the inventor became a national role model. Ford took a job at the Edison Illuminating Company working his way up to chief engineer.
In 1896 Ford was thirty-three and, though still working for Edison Co., he had created his first experimental automobile the Ford Quadricycle2 during his off-time. At an Edison company party in New York, Ford had his first chance to meet his hero Edison and was able to explain his new automobile to the great inventor. Edison was impressed. Edison is said to have slammed his fist down_and shouted, “Young man, that"s the thing! You have it! Your car is self-contained and carries its own power plant.” Edison himself had been working on the idea, but had only been considering electricity as the power source, so the idea of a gas engine was a somewhat new one.
The words comforted Ford greatly, who immediately set out building a second car which was to become the Model-T.6. The two men became fast friends and would go on camping trips together.When Edison later became limited to a wheelchair, Ford brought an extra one to his house so they could race.At the 50th anniversary of the invention of light-bulb, Ford honored Edison.When Edison spoke, he ended his speech directed at Ford, “ As to Henry Ford, words fail to express my feelings.I can only say that he is my friend.” Therefore it is no surprise that Ford wanted something to remember Edison by after he passed away in 1931.
Once, Ford asked Thomas Edison"s son Charles to sit by the dying inventor"s bedside and hold a test tube next to his father"s mouth to catch his final breath. Ford was a man with many strange behaviors (as was Edison) including some interest in reanimation and spiritualism(夏活通灵术)and some say that he was attempting to catch Edison"s soul as it escaped his body in hopes of later bringing the inventor back to life.
The test tube itself didn"t turn up until 1950 when it was listed in the Ford possessions after Clara Ford"s passing away, and then lost again until 1978 when it was discovered in an exhibit Entitled “Henry Ford-A Personal History” in the Henry Ford Museum. It would then be discovered that the tube was labeled “Edison"s Last Breath”.
There is a further mystery of this “last breath” test tube.It would seem as if Edison had quite a last breath indeed, as the Edison Estate holds a collection of 42 test tubes all supposedly containing Edison"s last breath.
Regardless of the excitement over the last breath, the test tube is quite touching in its meaning.Although both men were known for all sorts of poor behavior towards their loved ones and mistreatment of employees, between them at least, there was clearly a deep respect and admiration.
小题1:The purpose of the author writing this passage is to          .
A.remind the readers of the importance of the two inventors
B.stress the importance of friendship
C.tell the readers some stories about the two inventors
D.show that love can lead to some poor behaviors
小题2:From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can learn that       .
A.Edison envied what Ford had achieved
B.Edison was annoyed that Ford did better than him
C.Edison was angry because Ford stole his idea
D.Edison was extremely amazed at Ford"s new idea
小题3:“The 1ast breath test tube” can probably be regarded as       .
A.a symbol of a friendship and memory
B.a witness to a scientific breakthrough
C.a failure to bring Edison back to life
D.a sign of the two inventors" poor behavior
小题4:It can be learned from the last paragraph that“      ”.
A.Great minds think alike
B.Nobody is perfect
C.Two heads are better than one
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed

A few days ago,I went to school with lots of books,hoping to get a locker (锁柜).Suddenly,it started raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker,but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $7.00 short,which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting (令人筋疲力尽的) two­hour journey back home with all those books.
An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short,he quickly took out the money from his wallet. “You don’t have to pay me back,”he said. I was speechless;I didn’t know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice,” said the student. “I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways.”
The next day,I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn’t expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy,”he said,“not because I’m getting my money back,but because this is the right way to go—whatever you get from this world,give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”
Later,I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity organizations. He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier,someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since. He taught me a very important lesson in life—we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own,it will become somebody else’s and whatever we leave,it will become somebody else’s.
小题1:When the old gentleman offered the money,the writer was________.
A.touchedB.hesitantC.amazedD.embarrassed
小题2:From Paragraph 3 we learn that________.
A.the gentleman worked in the school
B.the gentleman was kind but forgetful
C.the gentleman refused to take back the money
D.the gentleman thought it right to give back to society
小题3:Why had the gentleman been doing acts of kindness?
A.He wanted to join the charity organizations.
B.He managed a lot of other people’s money.
C.He had received help from others before.
D.He thought money was of little importance.
