On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. from the day before, he took out a large piece of and laid it on the ground. Then he began .
Before long, the young violinist was with people, who were all attracted by the on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat . Please come to claim(认领) it soon."
After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat. , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had worked on, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched for the name of this fellow, it became obvious that there were two people with the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was terrible. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. At last, I worked very hard for the rest of the school year.
Ten months later, that chance came as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my chance to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

The telephone rang in the police station at Richmond, California, US. “ station? A train for Santa Fe collided (相撞) a at the McDonald Street Crossing. Please come here at once. With an ambulance, too. A man is badly wounded,” said an anxious voice of a young woman.
“OK. We’ll come soon. Please stay there and wait.” Replied the policeman.
Within a minute, a police car and an ambulance off. Soon they got to the crossing, but only to find everything was fine. No collision, no wounded man.
“What a dirty !” said the policeman angrily. “ We must find out that woman and…”
They had not been able to say anything about a when they heard the whistle of a train was nearing them quickly. All of a sudden, a truck appeared. It came towards them, too. When it was passing the crossing, it suddenly to move on. Right then and there, before the eyes of all the people present, the train collided with the truck heavily and struck it dozens of metres away.

With the average home in the capital selling for 19,548 yuan a meter in November, a tiny mobile home built by a 24-year-old office worker is creating a stir(震动) online.
Dai Haifei built the 6-square-meter pad(住所) because he could not afford to buy or rent in the capital.
Dai’s new home costs him 6,400 yuan and he has been living in it for nearly two months in courtyard at Chengfu
Road, Haidian district.
Dai, who is one of the millions of migrants who moved to the capital from other parts of China seeking a better
life and better job, said he realized his financial burden had become too great.
The Hunan native said he simply could not make ends meet(收支相抵) when he became an intern at a
Beijing-based construction design company in 2009.
“I rented a home at the very beginning--a small room in an apartment that cost me about 900 yuan per month,”
said Dai in an interview with local media. “It was too expensive for me. ”
Dai’s father works on a construction site in his hometown and his mother is a cleaner.
Dai, who ended up becoming a formal employee of the company, figured out his own way to solve the
problem---with inspiration from a housing design project at his company’s exhibition early this year.
The project, named“An egg given birth to by the city”, included a series of egg-like movable houses, with a
karaoke house, chair house and trader’s house in it.
Dai, who borrowed 6,400 yuan from an older cousin and who got additional help from several friends, decided to
make one of his own. He spent nearly two months building his“egg house”in his hometown, a village in southeast
Hunan that is around 1,700 kilometers from Beijing.
小题1:Where is this passage probably taken from?| A．A story book. | B．A cartoon film. | C．A news report. | D．A research report. |
小题2:What is Dai Haifei?| A．An official of government. | B．A journalist. | | C．An office worker of a company. | D．A manager of a company. |
小题3:Why did he build the pad?| A．Because he will sell it for money. | | B．Because he has no house to get married in. | | C．Because he doesn’t have enough money to buy or rent a house. | | D．Because he wants to get help from the society. |
小题4:Which statement is not TRUE?| A．He comes from a Hunan village. | | B．He has lived in the egg home for two months. | | C．He got the idea from a friend. | | D．He once rented a room. |
小题5:What’s the writer’s attitude?| A．Supporting. | B．Puzzled. | C．Criticizing. | D．Objective. |

In the past two years, his wife, Merlie, and their seven children have said “goodbye” to him four times, most recently last month. Each time it has been unnecessary.
Mr. Smart had a hip (髋关节) replacement in February at the Burnie hospital but was rushed back two months later with internal bleeding.
“The doctors couldn’t stop the bleeding,” Mrs. Smart said. Medical staff told Mrs. Smart to contact her family, which includes children in Western Australia. “It took two days for them to get here. We had to hope he hung on .” he did.
“The doctors were there 24 hours a day and they stopped the bleeding. They brought him back,” Mrs. Smart said.
“I certainly believe in miracles because I’ve seen one happen, but it wouldn’t have happened if the doctors didn’t do what they did.”
It was the second time Mrs. Smart thought she was losing her husband of 54 years. Two years ago, Mr. Smart was admitted to the Launceston General Hospital after a heart attack and a few days later with intense pain caused by a hemorrhage (出血). Again, the family was called to say goodbye---twice.
“I was given a 50-50 chance of coming out of it, ” Mr. Smart said.
Going through the ordeal (苦难，折磨) then was trying on the family, who had prepared themselves for the worst.
But to face the same situation only two years later was hard. The Smarts said the support they received at the Burnie hospital helped them through.
And it seems the experience has also left an impression at the hospital. Mrs. Smart said when she rang recently and mentioned her husband’s name, the reply was “ah the miracle man”.
小题1:The first time Mrs. Smart and the children said goodbye to Mr. Smart was when he had .| A．a hip replacement | B．internal bleeding | | C．a heart attack | D．intense pain caused by a hemorrhage |
小题2:When Mr. Smart was rushed back to the hospital with internal bleeding, .| A．only his wife believed he could survive | | B．no one believed that he could survive | | C．he had given up hope of recovering | | D．it didn’t take the doctors long to stop the bleeding |
小题3:The experience Mr. Smart had at the hospital could be that of .| A．concern | B．puzzle | C．fear | D．wonder |
小题4:The underlined phrase “hung on ”in the third paragraph can be replaced by .| A．beat the pain | B．came back to life | | C．lived through | D．make his fortune |
