Mondays are usually pretty busy for me. On one of these Mondays, I got ready to go to work thinking about all the things I had to on that day and walked down to get to my car scolding myself for being late to work, but the car was nowhere to be found. I right across my apartment the previous night but it wasn’t there that morning.
This was at 8:00 am in the morning. I made to all the towing（拖）places, police stations all the time thinking that it was towed by . By around 10:00 am, I couldn’t find it anywhere and the policemen decided that it was stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely .
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at an enterprise to realize that my license was missing too along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole and he was so sorry for me that he to take me to the nearest DMV（车管局）and get a duplicate（副本的） . I was totally surprised. I didn’t know why this complete stranger would want to some time off his day to help me . He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then me a car. I was the whole day because of the continuous events that happened to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the misfortunes of the day. I was so by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar . I took some smiley shaped chocolates and them on some of my colleague’s desks.
This is still a lot out there in the world. We just need to take the time to discover it.

举一反三
Former National Football League player and children’s author Tim Green has added another book to his list of accomplishments: Unstoppable. The book tells the story of a 12-year –old boy named Harrison, who survives life in a cruel foster home before he finally finds a loving family. Once he settles in and realizes his natural football ability, tragedy strikes again and he loses his leg to a deadly bone cancer. Unstoppable follows Harrison’s incredible journey as he faces many challenges in his life.
Tim Green says he decided to write a novel about a kid facing cancer after watching how his wife fought to survive her own illness. “Her mental and physical toughness were more heroic to me than anything I’d ever seen in the national sports leagues,” Green told TFK Kid Reporter Zachary J. Lewis.
After watching his wife’s battle, Green said, he knew he needed to write about a person who struggled through a serious illness. But because the target age for his books is teen, he needed to tell the story through the eyes of someone that age.
When friends introduced Green to Jeffrey Keith, Green knew he had found the right person to help him“ capture the heroism that it takes to fight cancer”. Cancer-survivor Jeffrey Keith lost his leg to disease at age twelve, but went on to be the goalie （守门员）for the Boston College Division 1 Lacrosse（长曲棍球）Team and was also the first amputee to run 3,300 miles across the country. When Green heard Jeffrey Keith’s story, he knew it was the perfect narrative on which to base his next book.
TFK asked Keith what it felt like to read Unstoppable for the first time. “Tim captured what it felt like for me to go through this experience and battle back,” Keith said. “After I read the book, Tim asked me to describe it in one word, and I said ‘awesome’. Tim’s work sends a message to all the kids across the country that are facing obstacles that can have nothing to do with cancer: you are all unstoppable, as long as you believe it.”
小题1:Who inspires Tim Green to write the novel Unstoppable?| A．A boy named Harrison. | B．His wife. | | C．Zachary J. Lewis. . | D．Jeffrey Keith |
小题2:The underlined word “amputee” in Paragraph 4 most probably means________| A．a person who has survived cancer | | B．a person who has had a leg or an arm cut off | | C．a person who looks different from others | | D．a person who has no arms or legs |

An Invisible Smile
Mr. Dawson was an old grouch, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple. Old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson"s house on the way to Amy"s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man.
Amy said not to worry. Mr. Dawson wouldn"t hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man"s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, "Hello Miss Amy. I see you"ve got a little friend with you today."
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Mr. Dawson said that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Mr. Dawson had the best apples in the whole town.
When they left, Janet asked Amy, "Everyone says he"s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?"
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn"t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.
After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a "hello" at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
"An invisible smile?" questioned Janet.
"Yes," answered Amy, "my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn"t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says smiles are contagious."
If we remember what Amy"s grandma said, that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that We"re always on the go trying to accomplish so much, aren"t we? It"s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time, let"s make sure that we"re not the one that others have to pretend to be wearing an invisible smile.
小题1:Kids were scared of Mr. Dawson because _____.| A．he was wearing an invisible smile | | B．he would fire them with a gun | | C．he was mean with his apples | | D．he was always very cold |
小题2:We can infer from the passage that_____.| A．Janet was so lovely a girl that Mr. Dawson couldn"t resist her smiles | | B．Janet and Amy were going to invite Mr. Dawson to listen to music and play games | | C．Mr. Dawson was friendly to Amy because she always wore an invisible smile | | D．it was Grandma"s advice that helped bring Amy and Mr. Dawson closer |
小题3:The underlined word "contagious" in Paragraph 9 means _____.| A．infectious | B．supportive | C．moving | D．meaningful |
小题4:What is the main message that the writer intends to send us readers?| A．Always wear an invisible smile. | | B．Smile whenever we can. | | C．Try our best to transform others. | | D．Pretend that we are happy even if we are not. |

I never got along with Dad. But when he was dying. I set off for Nebraska to be with him and my family. I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool, hoping it would relax me.
The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. “Where are you going?” he asked. When I told him about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.
Finally the man said, “Even with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.” All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling（摇摆的）bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle（挠痒）. “Yes, I know he does, ” I heard myself say. And for the first time in years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.
Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive my father. Then I wished he’d forgive me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 am. My sister’s voice sent a shiver（寒战）through me: Dad had just died. I had wanted to see him and make peace.

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony（和睦）that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited（继承）excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama（戏剧）and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’ death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:
Earth, receive an honored guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel（船）lie
Emptied of its poetry.
小题1:Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?| A．It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter | | B．It was shocked by Yeats’s choice | | C．It was a typically wealthy family | | D．It had an artistic atmosphere |
小题2:According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats’s life?| A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater | | B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry | | C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s | | D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize |
小题3: What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?| A．Envy | B．Sympathy | C．Emptiness | D．Admiration |
小题4:What is the passage mainly about?| A．Yeats’s literary achievements | B．Yeats’s historical influence | | C．Yeats’s artistic ambition | D．Yeats’s national honor |
