It was a bitter, cold craning in evening Virginia years ago. An old man was waiting for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became stiff the cold wind.
He heard the faint, steady   31  of approaching hooves (马蹄) coming along the frozen path,   32 , he watched as several horsemen   33  the bend. He let the first one pass by, then another and another. Finally, the last rider neared the sport where the old man sat like a snow   34 . As this one drew near ,the old man   35 the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a   36  to the other side?” There appear to be passage way by foot."
Reining his horse, the rider replied, “Sure. Hop aboard.” Seeing the old man was unable to   37  his half – frowned body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man onto the horse. The horse took the old man not just across the fiver ,but to his   38 .
As they neared the cottage, the horseman’   39 caused him to inquire ,"Sir ,I notice that you let several other riders   40 without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you   41 asked me for a ride. I"m curious. What if I had   42 and left you there?"
The old man   43 himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I’ve been around here for some time .I   44 I know people pretty good. The old – timer continued. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no   45 for my situation. It would have been   46 even to ask them for a ride. But when looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were   47 . I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me   48 my time of need.”
Those heartwarming comments   49 the horseman deeply.
“I"m most grateful for what you have said.” He told the old man .""May I have get too   50 in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion ."
With that Thomas Jefferson turned his around and made his way back.

For years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I"d have to say, "Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn"t grow on trees, you know."
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.
I wasn"t sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no-frills budget.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother"s Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on - and I couldn"t believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin."
Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis (棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden"s now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don"t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they"re right there with me.
I live up in Michigan"s Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers I"ll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes - every time.
I"m still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!
小题1:By saying “Do you see a money tree outside .….,” the mother actually means “ ”

A．Observation is the best teacher.

B．Seeing is believing.

C．The outsider sees the most of the game.

D．It is not easy to gain money

小题3:The underlined word “no - frills” in the fifth paragraphs is similar in meaning to .

A．wasteful

B．tight

C．absurd

D．helpful

小题4:From the last but the third paragraph we can infer that the mother is .

In my procession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moored so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she round quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn"t going to survive, Tyler"s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”
小题1:What is the boy Tyler’s attitude towards death?

C．sorrowful.

D．fearful.

小题2:Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because .

A．red is a lucky color.

B．red right help to cure him.

C．his mom could spot him easily

D．he could find more mates by wearing red.

小题3:Which of the following might serve as a possible title far this passage?

A．My unusual profession.	B．A caring mother.

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town center but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, ‘You mean fortunately.’ He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally as I wend my way up the incline I console myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smug smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a University degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties. Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own. Whilst we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs amputated following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”
The biographies of great people are littered with examples of how they took these kinds of steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become defeatist or depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.

[1]World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually by consumer organizations worldwide. It commemorates the historic declaration on March 15, 1962 by John F. Kennedy, the former U.S. President, of

the basic Rights of consumers, which include: "the right to safety", "the right to be informed", "the right to choose", and "the right to be heard".
[2]This declaration has led to international recognition by governments and the United Nations that all citizens, regardless of their incomes or social standing, have certain basic Rights as consumers. Officially, World Consumer Rights Day was first observed on March 15，1983 and has since become an important occasion for mobilizing citizen action, with recognition of consumer rights taking off around the world. On April 9，1985, the United Nations Assembly General Assembly adopted the UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection that provide a framework for strengthening national consumer protection policies around the world.
[3]The guidelines included Kennedy"s four basic consumer rights plus another four: the right to satisfaction of basic needs; the right to redress(赔偿); the right to education; and the right to a healthy environment. Currently, the fundamental consumer rights are recognized globally.
[4]World Consumer Rights Day normally has a theme associated with an activity or development that is relevant to consumers. Whatever their objectives, they share the same underlying aim of bringing about important and needed benefits for consumers.
[5]In recent years, progress has been made for recognition and protection of consume

r rights in developing countries. At least, March 15 is a day when consumers are filled with pride and satisfaction. However, there are many reports on violation of consumer rights by unethical marketing practices.
