There is a beautiful story about a child playing with a vase his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned 16 the sound of her son’s crying she saw that his 17 was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She 18 to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out 19 . But the hand was stuck fast（牢固地）. How would they get it out? The father suggested 20 the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the 21 _. Yet he knew that if all else 22 there would be no other alternative.
So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more 23 . Open your hand and stretch your 24 out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!” “ 25 Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that I’ll 26 my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand 27 and was holding it 28 in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t 29 to open his hand and lose it. But 30 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 31 to the entrance to the Kingdom of God. It is narrow yet quite 32 to pass in, but first you must open your hand to God and 33 earthly（世俗的）things to fall. If we keep our fists 34 and hold fast to what we have and keep it for ourselves, we will be unable to 35 hold of the hand of God. Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”

I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple 41 revolutionary -- combining a residential （住宅的）home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and 42 activities such as music, painting, gardening, and 43 for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and 44 a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always somebody attending to (照顾) him. There are trips out and birthday parties, too.
The 45 are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual 46 and respond well because someone has time for them. They also learn that old people are not “different” or “frightening” in 47 way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to 48 them. The residents are happy because they feel 49 and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance, too. And the staff（全体职员） are happy because they see an improvement in the 50 and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.
41. A. or B. so C. nor D. but
42. A. share B. examine C. control D. engage
43. A. asking B. sending C. caring D. looking
44. A. though B. because C. unless D. if
45. A. advantages B. actions C. difficulties D. comforts
46. A. though B. attention C. rest D. freedom
47. A. no B. any C. another D. the
48. A. value B. admit C. accept D. overcome

I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. There, a few kids picked on(欺负)me, calling me names. Then I knew. After that, I began to hate the first day of school each year. I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs. Some of the kids would point and say, “Look at that kid. Look at her.”
As time went on, I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. My friends became increasingly protective. They’d help me up the bus steps. If people were cruel, they would take them aside and correct them.
What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality----my ability to laugh, even at myself. For example, one time I was reaching into the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes. I fell all the way in and yell for Mother, who was sitting nearby reading the paper. Watching feet flying everywhere, she laughed quietly and said, “I should leave you in there.” I laughed with her.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not decreased as I’ve grown older. People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse. They look in disbelief when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side. During those times, I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have----a great family, nice friends…”
小题1:What is the main idea of the second and third paragraphs?| A．How the writer changed her disadvantage to advantage. | | B．The writer’s friends and mother loved her deeply. | | C．The writer had many friends helping her. | | D．The writer had the ability to laugh. |
小题2:By saying “the stares have not decreased” in the last paragraph, the author suggests that____. | A．she is able to live a happy life like a normal person | | B．she isn’t afraid of being noticed by others any more | | C．some people still don’t treat her as a normal person | | D．more and more people treat her with respect now |
小题3:How is the author feeling now about her situation?| A．Quite optimistic. | | B．Very satisfied. | | C．Deeply upset. | | D．Rather anxious. |
小题4: We can infer that the author believes that_________. | A．society should help the disabled as much as possible | | B．only your parents and friends can help you | | C．what people say about you is none of your business | | D．all people should be treated with respect |

It was getting dark and snow was coming down. Joe was driving home. He’d been unemployed since the factory closed. Most of his friends had left, but he stayed on. After all, he was born here.
Suddenly he saw a lady standing on the side of the road and pulled up. She was worried. No one had stopped to help her. Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry. Joe knew how she felt and said, “My name is Joe and I’m here to help you.” All she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Joe changed the tire, but he got dirty and his hands were hurt. She wanted to pay Joe and said any amount would have been all right. Joe never thought twice about the money and there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance that they needed.
Later the lady went in a dingy-looking restaurant to grab a bite to eat. The cash register was like the telephone of an out-of-work actor----it didn’t ring much. The waitress, who was nearly eight months pregnant, brought a clean towel to her with a sweet smile. The old lady remembered Joe. After the waitress brought the change from a 100-dollar bill, she found the lady gone and something written on a piece of paper, “Someone once helped me out----the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, don’t let the chain of love end with you.”
That night the waitress gave her sleeping husband a soft kiss and whispered, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Joe.”
小题1:What do we know about Joe from this passage?| A．On his way home after work, he helped an old lady. | | B．He had worked in a factory in his hometown before. | | C．He would move away to fulfill his dream soon. | | D．Though he was poor, he didn’t care about money at all. |
小题2:The saying “she wanted to pay Joe and said any amount would have been all right” in Paragraph 2 suggests that _____.| A．the old lady was very grateful to Joe’s timely aid | | B．the old lady was much worried to be hurt by Joe | | C．the old lady wanted to show off her fortune to Joe | | D．the old lady’s car was very difficult to repair for Joe |
小题3: Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?| A．The restaurant was not only light but also clean. | | B．The old lady did have a big meal in the small restaurant. | | C．The waitress was more than eight months pregnant. | | D．The old lady left the remaining money to the waitress. |
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?| A．Acts of luck | B．A warm-hearted man | | C．The chain of love | D．A generous lady |

Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101. Mr John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest – fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all – expense – paid birthday treat to the capital he just could not refuse.
He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “It’s very exciting. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked.
Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea – too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.
During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr Gareth Wardell.
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair – people will think I am getting old,” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no wine, no tobacco and no anger.
Before setting off from Swansea with his 76 – year – old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.”
小题1:The very rea son that Mr. Evans didn’t go to see the world is that .| A．he had already been on the seas to Ilfracombe | | B．he was too busy to go too far away from home | | C．he couldn’t afford both the time and the money | | D．he believed “East or west, home is the best” |
小题2:Mr Evans didn’t like the wheelchair simply because .| A．he was not used to traveling in it | | B．the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operate | | C．he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home | | D．he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?| A．Mr Evans had to work hard to raise his family when young. | | B．The trip to London excited Mr Evans very much. | | C．Mr Evans could not really enjoy the trip because of his age. | | D．Humor was one of Mr Evans’ characters. |
小题4:The probable explanation to Mr Evans’ long life lies in .| A．his good living habits | B．his hard working for the family | | C．his sticking to his hometown | D．his living conditions near the Swansea |
