But the hand was stuck fast（牢固地）. How would they get it out? The father suggested 40 the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the 41 _. Yet he knew that if all else 42 there would be no other alternative.
So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more 43 . Open your hand and stretch your 44 out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!” “ 45 Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that I’ll 46 my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand 47 and was holding it 48 in his little fist(拳头). And he wasn’t 49 to open his hand and lose it. But 50 he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.
The father said to the boy, “What are you holding onto so tightly as to hinder (阻碍) your walk with God? That vase can be 51 to the entrance to the Kingdom of God. It is narrow yet quite 52 to pass in, but first you must open your hand to God and 53 earthly（世俗的）things to fall. If we keep our fists 54 and hold fast to what we have and keep it for ourselves, we will be unable to 55 hold of the hand of God. Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”

After winning a big game，athletes are often asked how they feel．Usually athletes say how 21 it is to win this big game．On the contrary，the fact is that losing a big game，or in my case，all the games，can be even harder．

I am sure it is great to go through without losing and bringing home awards．But in all honesty，I 39 the fact that my team lost every game last year．It may not help me to become a better basketball player，but it already has made me a better leader，and 40 ．

"What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet，there is not too much.“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. "But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures，names matter a great deal.
Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives，not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a “Jennifer” more attractive than a“Bertha"，for example. The last name，or，surname，must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic，but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like. On the other hand，people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common，like Fanny or Elmer，sound old-fashioned today. But other names—like John and David，Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.
People in Ameica don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead，they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance，a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa，Beth or Betsy. As children grow up，they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called.
Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names，like B. J, or R. C. And of course，people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor，like Honey or Sugar. What’s in a name? A world of significance. So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself，take care to choose a good one. A made—up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name，either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said，“In real life，unlike in Shakespeare，the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”
小题1:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?| A．People change names in order to be popular with the new generanon. | | B．Names will change by themselves in order to be popular. | | C．Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation. | | D．No names can stand the test of time. |
小题2:When choosing names，you should stick to the following principles EXCEPT that| A．the impression a name gives is more important than its meaning | | B．you can name after a well-known person | | C．surname should be paid attention to | | D．you can create a name that is special |
小题3:The author will name a newly born baby girl________.| A．Bertha | B．Fanny | C．Yunyun | D．Elizabeth |
小题4:What is the main idea of this passage?| A．Names have great significance to Americans. | | B．Names change when time goes by. | | C．Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names. | | D．Roses smell sweet by any other name. |

John and Bobby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the position of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it any more, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard-working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said, “Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation.”
John agreed. The boss asked him to go and  find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg. John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1.2 per kg.
Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, “Boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1.2 per kg, $10 for 10kg, he has inventory (清单) of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.”
John was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign but to learn from Bobby.
Chances exist in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. Then the difference between a year and a day is 365 times!
小题1:Why did John decide to hand in his resignation to the boss?| A．Because he couldn’t stand being an ordinary employee. | | B．Because Bobby would take John’s former position. | | C．Because the boss was not flattered by his hard work. | | D．Because Bobby instead of him was promoted. |
小题2:What did the boss ask John to do?| A．To go to market and find out whether there is someone selling watermelons. | B．T o make a complete mar keting research on the various prices of watermelons. | | C．To search for much information about the effective ways to sell watermelons. | | D．To make a comparison on the prices of different types of watermelons. |
小题3: What sort of following information about watermelons was NOT brought by Bobby?| A．The price. | B．The quality. | | C．The quantity. | D．The weight. |
