One weekend afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．I was looking forward to a quiet 36 of the splendid artwork．
A young 37 viewing the paintings ahead of me 38 nonstop between themselves．I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking．I admired the man"s 39 for putting up with her 40 stream of words． 41 by their noise, I moved on．
I met them several times as I moved 42 the various rooms of art．Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away 43 .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 44 when the couple approached the 45 ．Before they left, the man 46 into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He 47 it into a long stick and then 48 his way into the coatroom to get his wife"s jacket．
"He"s a 49 man, " the clerk at the counter said．" Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age．During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn"t change．So, as before, he and his wife come in 50 there is a new art show．"
"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked．"He can"t see．"
"Can"t see! You"re 51 ．He sees a lot．More than you and I do," the clerk said．"His wife 52 each painting so he can see it in his head．"
I learned something about patience, 53 and love that day．I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without 54 and the courage of a"" husband who would not 55 blindness to change his life．And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined．

Renata Di Pietro was studying to be an opera singer. But at 23, while on a music scholarship at the University of Iowa in 1976, her sight began to fail. Soon, it became increasingly difficult to read scores and pick up hand signals from conductors, and the gifted singer was forced to drop out.
After moving to Cleveland, Georgia in 2005, Di Pietro relied on guide dogs to get around. Over the years, she became depressed when she’d lose one of the dogs, who had become her best friend, to old age or death. “It’s very painful, because you love each one,” she says.
In 2009, Di Pietro was intrigued by information from a friend that miniature horses typically live for at least 30 years and make calm and strong guides. She started with a male horse, but he was too hard to control. Angel came next, a mini white female horse Di Pietro has mostly trained herself. “Horses have the ability to avoid the things in the way,” she says. “If I am about to run into something, she slides her body in front of me.”
Di Pietro, now 59, has taught her guide horse to make some sounds with her hoof (马蹄)when she comes to stairs. “Angel can find a chair and locate the nearest door for me,” Di Pietro says. Currently, she’s training Angel to pull her wheelchair and to fetch.
Despite her disability, Di Pietro still sings, performing with her husband, musician Carl Hummer, at special events. Angel is always by her side. “I fight a battle every day to take courage to engage the world,” Di Pietro says. “Angel is my warhorse. We fight that battle together.”
小题1:Why did Di Pietro have to give up her studying in the university?| A．She disliked her major in music. | | B．She failed to get high scores. | | C．She couldn’t understand hand signals from conductors. | | D．She found it difficult to see things clearly. |
小题2:What does the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?| A．Puzzled. | B．Interested. | C．Satisfied. | D．Frightened. |
小题3:Angel can do a lot of things for Di Pietro now EXCEPT_________.| A．supporting her in case of her falling | | B．helping her find a chair to sit on | | C．keeping her company every day | | D．fighting with her against others |
小题4:Which of the following can best describe the author?| A．Caring and strong-minded. | B．Honest and responsible. | | C．Kind and helpful. | D．Ambitious and sensitive. |

A long time ago, there was an emperor(皇帝). One day he told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and 26 as much land area as he liked, he would give him the area of land he had covered. 27 enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and 28 as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He 29 riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. Even when he was 30 or tired, he did not stop 31 he wanted to cover as much area as possible. When he at last covered a large amount of land, he was exhausted and was 32 . Then he asked himself, “Why did I33 myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only 34 a very small area to 35 myself.”
The above story is 36 to the journey of our 37 . We push ourselves very hard every day to make more 38 , to gain power or recognition. We neglect(疏忽，忘记) our 39 , time with our family and to appreciate(欣赏) the surrounding 40 and the things we love to do. One day 41 we look back, we will 42 that we don’t really need that much, 43 then we cannot turn back time for what we have 44 .

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.
