举一反三
Afraid that her son would be too tired, Ms. Wendy would sometimes tell the boy to skip school, but each time, Fabian would insist on going to school.
“I don’t like it because when I return to school, I don’t know what’s going on,” the 12-year-old boy explained. He suffers for SMA－a neuromuscular（神经肌肉的）disease that leads to weakness in muscles－and gets around in a wheelchair.
Fabian’s determination to excel in his studies was evident when he was disappointed that he got a total score of 236 yesterday in his Primary School Leaving Examination. He was hoping for a score of at least 240, but his mother was full of pride. “I am happy with his results. He’s very motivated,” said Ms. Wendy.
When Fabian was two months old, he was diagnosed with SMA. Ms. Wendy, who used to go to other homes to teach piano lessons, started teaching lessons at home so she could take care of her son. Fabian proved to be a fighter. Ms. Wendy said, “ He would study every day on his own even though he was weak and his spine（脊柱）was already starting to curve quite badly.”
Fabian is also active in the Singapore Disability Sports Council, where he plays boccia（滚球）, a ball sport for those who require a wheelchair due to physical disability.
At just 133cm tall and weighing 14kg, he knows that he will have to rely on others all his life. “I’m afraid that when my parents grow older, they will not be able to carry me and that there will be nobody to carry me,” said Fabian. “But for now, I feel lucky that I get to go out and do a lot of things that I thought I couldn’t.”
His dreams aren’t lofty（崇高的）either－all he want to be able to do is work and provide for his parents. “I just want to study hard so that I can be a businessman, like my dad.” He is planning to apply to study at Victoria School.
小题1:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. going to school. B. being absent from school
C. studying hard. D. suffering from SMA.
小题2:We can know from the text that Fabian ______.| A．got the disease at the age of 12. | | B．was proud of his exam results. | | C．has no interest in any sports. | | D．wants to be a businessman like his father. |
小题3:What do we know about Ms. Wendy?| A．She insists that her son go to school. | | B．She used to be a piano teacher in a school. | | C．She is satisfied with her son’s performance at school. | | D．She fears that her son will be helpless when she is older. |
小题4:Which words can best describe Fabian? | A．Sensitive and weak. | B．Active and optimistic. | | C．Clever and strong. | D．Stressed and concerned. |
小题5:What is the best title for the text?
A. He Is Disabled but He Is a Fighter.
B. A Great Mother and Her Special Son.
C. How to Fight Against SMA.
D. A disabled boy’s dream. |
A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about 26 in work and life. To offer his guests coffee, the 27 went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of 28 — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some 29 , some expensive, some delicate — telling them to help themselves to the 30 .
When all the students 31 a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you have 32 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 33 the plain and cheap ones. While it is 34 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 35 of your problems and stress. "
"Be assured that the cup itself adds no 36 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even 37 what we drink. "
"What all of you really want is coffee, 38 the cup, but you 39 went for the best cups … And then you began 40 each other"s cups. "
"Now consider 41 : Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain 42 , and the type of cup we have does not determine, nor 43 the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 44 to enjoy the coffee. Fully appreciate the coffee, not the cups! Don"t let the cups 45 you ... enjoy the coffee instead. "

Each spring brings a new wildflower blooming in the fields along the highway I travel daily to work.
There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I"ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours. The afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day each year for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in my yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I"ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the fields would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.
Every day I drove past the flowers, thinking, "I"ll stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don"t want to get my good clothes dirty…" Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a tool one year for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had cleared up the fields and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring. "
A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a cancer. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven"t been as close as we all would have liked.
I couldn"t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband"s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, I"m sure I"ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
小题1:How long might the blue flower bloom in spring?| A．About two weeks. | B．The whole season. | | C．About one week. | D．The whole day. |
小题2:Where did the writer want to transplant the flowers?| A．Across the fields. | B．Along the highway. | | C．In the garden. | D．Outside the yard. |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true about the writer"s sister-in-law?| A．She is seriously ill. | | B．She is twenty years old. | | C．She lives far away from the writer. | | D．She is not in close touch with the writer. |
小题4:What does the writer want to tell us?| A．Value now and don"t lose chances. | | B．Visit our relatives only after they get ill. | | C．Refresh our wonderful moments every year. | | D．Plant flowers and don"t enjoy them in the field. |

Early one morning the sub-inspector at a station at the other end of the town rang me. An elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it? I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephant"s doings. It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours" journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebody"s bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over fruit¬stalls. I came round the hut and saw a man"s dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent. As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot for him. You could see the pain of it knocking the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and only time. And then down he came, with a crash that shook the ground.
小题1:Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?| A．He was an Indian. | | B．He knew elephants well. | | C．He was not a local villager. | | D．He was the owner of the elephant. |
小题2:The elephant made so much trouble because ________.| A．its owner treated him cruelly | | B．it got out of control | | C．it hated the village people | | D．it was a wild elephant |
小题3:The underlined words “the peacebreaker” in Paragraph 4 refer to ________.| A．the elephant | B．the dead man | | C．the author | D．the sub¬inspector |
小题4:It can be inferred that the author felt ________ when he shot the elephant.| A．excited | B．sad | C．frightened | D．happy |
