完形填空     When I was six years old, my sister, Sally Kay, was a submissive three-year-old girl. For some
reasons, I thought we needed to    1   some money. So I decided we should "hire out" as maids. We
visited the neighbors,    2   to clean houses for them for $1.    3   our offer was reasonable, there were
no takers. One neighbor even    4   my mom to tell her what we were doing.
     Mother had just hung up the phone    5   we came into the house. "Girls," mother asked, "why were
you two    6   the neighborhood telling people you would clean their houses?" We both denied. That her
dear little girls could be such "boldfaced (厚颜无耻的) liars" made her feel shocked and terribly    7   .
Mom then told us that Mrs. Jones had just called and told her everything.
     Faced with the truth, we    8   what we had done. Mom tried to explain how much a fib (小谎) hurt
    9   she didn"t feel that we really understood. Then Mom cheerfully asked, "Would you two like to go
to see the movie The Matinee this afternoon?"
      "Oh, wonderful!" After lunch, we got bathed and all    10   up.  It was like getting ready for a birthday party. We   11 outside the apartment, not wanting to miss the    12 that would take us downtown. At
the bus station, Mom stunned (使震惊) us by saying, "Girls, we are not going to the    13 today."
     "What?" we objected    14   . "What do you mean? Aren"t we going to The Matinee?" She explained
this was how much a fib could hurt. "It is important that what we say is    15   ," Mom said. "I fibbed to
you just now and I felt   16   . I don"t want to fib again and I"m    17 you don"t want to fib again either.
People must be    18   to others."
     That was    19   my sister and I learned to be truthful. It was a(n)   20 that we would never forget.

     When Meggy finished her double master"s degrees, I can remember watching her get her diploma.
As her line moved forward to the side of the platform, she seemed to have more energy than she could
handle.
     Meggy was in the Shriner"s Hospital for months when she was three, and went back for another
series of operations when she was four. When the doctors told her parents that she would never walk,
nobody told baby Meggy. She willingly did the foot exercises each day. Her face reflected much
concentration as she moved across the room, but when she reached her destination, she smiled.
     Her mother, with the same strong determination, would read The Little Engine That Could to
Meggy. I can still hear them repeat the words of the children"s story, "I think I can! I think I can! I think
I can!" When the engine made it over the enormous hill with the toys for the children, Meggy would laugh
as she and her mother sang, "I thought I could! I thought I could! I thought I could!" With that same faith
and hope, Meggy learned to run, skip, play games, and ride a bike.
     The social and academic requirements of colleges and graduate schools were difficult for Meggy. As
she studied far into the night, she kept her eye on her goals, on the people she would help. She graduated
first in her class and continued her preparation for teaching in graduate school.
     As I heard her name being called to receive her master"s diploma, I watched her walk
with grace and purpose toward the Dean. As she went down the stairs of the platform,
a bright smile broke forth, and I could just hear her thinking, "I thought I could!"

1. Meggy can be best described as a girl with       .
A. courage
B. humor
C. patience
D. determination

2. Her mother read The Little Engine That Could to Meggy to        .
A. inspire her
B. make her laugh
C. kill time with her
D. teach her to sing

3. The biggest challenge for Meggy was probably to       .
A. teach others
B. speak before many people
C. learn how to walk
D. find her goals in life

4. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Hope in life
B. I thought I could
C. Learn to develop yourself
D. Follow what you desire

     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,   nofrills 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 of 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 tenbyfifteen 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
are 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 of 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!

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

2. The best title for the passage would probably be "________".
A. My flower garden
B. Marvin helps to realize my dream
C. Love in Michigan
D. Money grows on trees

3. The underlined word "nofrills"in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to "________".
A. wasteful
B. tight
C. absurd
D. helpful

4. From the last three paragraphs we can infer that the mother is________.
A. divorced when she was young
B. not caring for her kids any longer
C. alone but not at all lonely
D. prouder with her garden than with her kids

    Last weekend,   my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me
wash my car. My 10yearold daughter came up with the idea of __1 _ other people"s cars as well. It
was pretty __2__ outside and I had no plans to __3__ being in the bright sun. She __4__ wanted to
give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passersby for free. I had seen little kids  __5__ and sell fresh lemonade
for a small cost but not free. Although I felt  __6__,   I decided to help her.
     __7__  she asked me,   "What if we __8__  this a smile car wash?" I couldn"t hold back my tears
and     9 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with    10 ideas. While I kept
myself busy in drying the car,   the gang walked up to me with a(n)     11    with beautiful images of
smiles. They had "Free Car Wash" written on it and the     12 of their exercise was "smile". It was
pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5－11 years with the    13      to do something for others.
      All that seemed     14 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to      15    to them: their
playtime,   the heat outside-they just wanted to   16   others and do something nice in the community!
      I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional      17    to help clean
cars. Passersby were     18    and one even shouted back to them saying "God Bless You,   my kids…"
One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars,   which they refused. A pretty heartwarming    19 !
     I feel blessed by being    20 by such wonderful and loving souls.
