| 完形填空 | Many years ago, a salesman opened a bag of things from Scotland and found a card at the top. It 1 , "Expect a Miracle(奇迹)." "What does that mean?" he thought, and then 2 it into his pocket.
That night he showed it to his wife. "Look at this, dear. What do you think it means?"
"Maybe this is what we need," she said. "Our 3 are so great that they are too much for us. If we
start 4 great things instead of the worst, miracle may 5 ." They decided to try changing their thinking
for a few days, starting with their 6 problems. Then something changed. Not only did they find their
problems 7 be worked out, but they also started 8 a lot of money.

focused in positive ways. There are 10 coincidences, and all kinds of happy experiences 11 one
after another.
One becomes hopeful and optimistic. Little problems began 12 , while the big ones become much
easier to work out. Success is not 13 you thought it was.
A positive thinker first sets clear and proper goals. Then he goes to work, and 14 working. He
never gives up. His dreams are sure to come true, and 15 they do, a miracle happens.
Miracles come in all 16 : big, medium-sized, and small. Start expecting the small ones, and work
your way 17 to the big. Think positively, 18 yourself and work hard. You"ll find yourself 19 by

beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was
only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I"m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbor we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbor itself was
in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the
sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn"t believe it-there
aren"t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean in the bay, in
which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale-actually as big as our boat-was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. "She"s trying to
help her baby, but on the wrong side," my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a
semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat toward the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our
several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right
beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started
heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay
channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe-and
to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight
form the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonder animals for
almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I
still look back fondly to that golden day at sea. | | 1. The author says "I"m so glad I did." (in Para.2) because ________________. | A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing

taught me to notice those whom others ignore.
The railroad tracks (轨道) were within a mile of our house. Beggars frequently would knock at the
doors in our neighbourhood in summer asking for food. They were often turned away. Others simply
ignored the knocks.
My mum always went to the door smiling. She would invite them to stay and have something to eat.
She would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch (走廊).
There was a nice view into the flower gardens, and it was cool even on the hottest days.
She would bring a red and white tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company.
She would pour their coffee and pile their plates with food and dessert. Usually she sent a packed lunch
with them when they were ready to go, too.Sometimes she would take the newspapers to those who
asked about work.
She listened to those who wanted to talk.She never asked what would lead them to be in this difficult
situation. It did not matter. She saw only the need. Some thought she should not extend this courtesy (礼貌). She would say, "In the depression (萧条时期) when my father was searching around for any work to
feed us, thoughtful people fed him. I am just repaying their kindness. I cannot offer them money, but I can
see they do not leave hungry and discouraged." My mum was quite a lady. | | 1. The writer"s house was frequently visited by beggars because________. | A. they seemed to be very rich

home.Two years ago, we sent Megan to a nearby nursing home where we thought she could be
taken care of and become happier.
A few weeks after Megan left home, I went to the nursing home to see her.I came across a
bicycle attached to the back of a wheelchair rolling out of the front entrance of the nursing home.The bike"s unique design and the delight on the faces of the rider and the passenger stopped me.
Megan cried when she saw me.She said she didn"t want to stay in the nursing home any more
and that she wanted to live with us at home.I took Megan out of the nursing home and bought
one the very next day.How happy she was to be with us again! We could now get outside for
fresh air, exercise and have a chance to be more involved in neighbourhood and community
activities.
I invested (投资) all my money in buying this kind of wheelchair bike for the people who
needed them most.I call the wheelchair bike CAREBIKE.My aim is to permit people who have
disabilities and can"t walk, as well as the people who care for them to have the chance to enjoy
the pleasure of a bike ride.
I"m extremely proud of what I"ve done.All my investment has its true reward when I hear a 100
yearold woman ending her CAREBIKE ride, laughing, or see a disabled man rolling down the
road with a smile on his face.Moments like these make it all worthwhile.
My job now is to make the world aware of the CAREBIKE.My website provides pictures,
videos and the details about the bike.I will provide a CAREBIKE for anyone who really needs it. | | 1. Why did the author send his daughter to the nursing home? | A. Because the family was too poor to treat her.

D. a gift | | 阅读理解 | The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The
elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for
safety.That didn"t stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua"s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride
an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant
roundup--how to catch wild elephants.
Parbati hasn"t always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
But Parbati doesn"t catch elephants just for fun."My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has
been doing for many years.Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal
hunters hav e attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will
spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant."Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans." she said, as she
climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal.An elephant princess indeed! | | 1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to ________. | A. get long lasting excitement
