Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a  36  this summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a  37. One of her colleagues needed a full-time  38 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to  39  to Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a  40  child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not  41  him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium(平衡)problems.He couldn’t  42  or run properly. I was  43  if I was to take the job when my mother 44  , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the  45 .”
Then I told her I was  46  for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little  47  , he was quite a mix.
At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face  48  up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be  49  to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took him a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his  50  and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he  51  it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his  52  . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 53 and asked, “May I go down again alone?”
I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children  54  for granted.
This  55  child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H. A. W. Tabor and his wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.
Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.
As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore(矿石), in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.
小题1:Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A.Tabor became its leading citizen.
B.great deposits of lead is expected to be found there.
C.it could bring good fortune to Tabor
D.it was renamed
小题2:The underlined word “grubstake” in Paragraph 3 means

小题3:We can infer that Tabor’s life career is.
A.purely lucky
B.based on his managing theory of “grubstake’
C.through the help from his wife
D.because he planned well and accomplished targets step by step
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Tabor’s Life.B.A legend of the Old West
C.Lead Makes Leadville’s FortuneD.The Best Investment
