完形填空。     My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not
have the   1   or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the
point, anyway? It was going to be a   2   Christmas after all. 
       3  , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.
     There was a   4   on the door one evening. It was Jeff"s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis.
The Smiths had stopped by to   5   us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a   6   on the
porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn"t working in the cold snowy weather and we had   7   a visit from
the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
     The   8   feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
     As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas   9   from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door
to  10  us to dig out.
     Then, we received an invitation to  11  a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer,
and their  12  -a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our  13 .
     Our Christmas morning  14  was special, thanks to the Smiths" gift of bread. I was so  15  for these gestures
of welcome, especially during the holidays.
     This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The  16  and work schedules just
made things too difficult.  17  that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round
up some other folks who were  18  in the holidays.
     Lonely people are all around us, but most of us  19  notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes,
the smallest  20  gesture can make a world of difference.

     Bobby Quails was shopping when he received a text message: Fire on Beechmont, one-story house, child
trapped inside. "I was picking out gifts for the family our engine house adopted for Christmas," remembers
Quails, who has been fighting fires in Memphis for 24 years. "I had this sinking feeling as I got in my car and
headed over."
     The last time Quails had been on Beeehmont Street was to install smoke detectors (感应器) at the Bateman-
Tubbs home. He"d been on a secret task to see if they needed extra help during the holidays. There he discovered
that the four Bateman-Tubbs children were sleeping on bare mattresses (床垫), and he found two of the boys
playing outside in 30-degree weather with no shoes or coats.
     Quails learned that Leonard Tubbs was doing his best to make ends meet laying floors while Kimberly
Bateman stayed home with the kids.
     "When Bobby told me his team wanted to be Secret Santas and buy my kids toys, at first I thought we didn"t
need any help," Bateman recalls. "It really touched me. I told him what the kids really needed was warm clothes,"
     That"s exactly what Qualls was shopping for on December 9, 2010: winter jackets for Christopher, seven;
JoJo, four; Madison, one; and two-month-old Charles. While driving over to Beechmont Street, he dialed
Bateman"s cell phone. She answered on the first ring, screaming, "The house is on fire-JoJo"s trapped inside!"
     By the time Quails reached the house, the family had gotten out, but their home was severely damaged; His
coworkers had found JoJo hiding under a pile of clothes in a back bedroom. He had stopped breathing and had
been given CPR and rushed to the hospital. Quails learned that JoJo was now on life support and might not make
it through the night. He rushed to the hospital with Lt. Mark Eskew, who placed a stuffed teddy bear in a
firefighter"s suit on JoJo"s bed.
     "I just kept praying my little boy would open his eyes," Bateman recalls. "There was nothing else I could do.
They were pumping black and thick liquid out of his lungs and stomach for days."
     After a few days, though, JoJo regained consciousness, and the tubes were taken out of his throat. While he
began to slowly recover, the local newspaper and TV stations got hold of the story, and the Secret Santa Plan of
Quails and his fellow firefighters, snowballed. Before long, the fire station was overflowing with boxes of toys,
food, towels, and clothes. People called, wanting to donate furniture and appliances (电器) too. By December
23, Bateman and Tubbs had moved their kids into a new rental home. By Christmas Eve, JoJo was ready to
leave the hospital, and the firefighters were ready to deliver the family their very own Christmas miracle.
     "These guys aren"t just firefighters," says Bateman, "they"re our guardian angels. If they hadn"t installed a
smoke detector that first day they came to our house, we wouldn"t have known when the fire started. Then they
went the extra ten miles to give us a Christmas."
1. What did Quails do after he received a text message?
A. He drove to the burning house.
B. He hurried to the fire station.
C. He went to pick out gifts.
D. He went shopping in Beechmont.
2. Who saved JoJo out of the burning house?
A. Bobby Qualls.
B. Leonard Tubbs.
C. Kimberly Bateman.
D. Firefighters.
3. We can learn from the story that _____.
A. JoJo is a naughty child
B. smoke detectors are very useful
C. Tubbs" home is filled with gifts
D. the fire was caused by the bare mattress
4. The author wrote this story mainly to _____.
A. encourage people to install smoke detectors
B. advise people to take good care of their children
C. ask people to give gifts to the firemen
D. praise the firemen for their good deeds

     Mrs. Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my
same old tuna fish (金枪鱼) sandwich and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy my sandwich
from me. She explained that, I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.
     I was thrilled. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and we always
carried our lunch and brought the bag back home to use again the next day. My sandwiches were either
bologna (大腊肠) or tuna fish. It rarely varied beyond that.
     You can understand my delight when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch.
     When we finished lunch that day, Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had
bought my sandwich. I really didn"t care why, but it gave me a few minutes of her precious attention so I was
very quiet as she explained. You see, she was Catholic and she told me that Catholics didn"t eat red meat on
Fridays-they ate fish on Fridays.
     Oh, I couldn"t wait to get home and tell my Mama that from now on I wanted tuna fish on Fridays. After,
my Mama understood why, she gladly fixed tuna fish for me on Fridays. She even fixed it on brown bread
because she knew Mrs. Amatuli liked brown bread. From then on, every Friday I could get in line with the
rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn"t care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food-it tasted
divine to me!
     I realize now that Mrs. Amatuli could have fixed herself a tuna sandwich of Friday. But she bought my
sandwich because she saw a little girl who was thrilled over the simple act of having a hot lunch.
     I will never forget her for her compassion and generosity and what I should do is follow her example.
1. Mrs. Amatuli bought the writer"s sandwich because _____.
A. she was tired of cafeteria food
B. she hated getting in line with kids
C. she didn"t eat red meat on Friday
D. she wanted to show care to the writer
2. What can we learn about the cafeteria food?
A. It was terrific.
B. It was terrible.
C. The writer enjoyed it.
D. Most kids were fond of it.
3. The underlined word "divine" in Paragraph 5 means _____.
A. perfect
B. sweet
C. unpleasant
D. special
4. Which of the following can best show the theme of this text?
A. It is hard to please all.
B. Better to give than to receive.
C. Love makes the world go around.
D. The more you offer, the more you are rewarded.

     It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just   1   any November day.
His   2  , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months,
while I sat on the couch and watched it   3  . One morning, I walked slowly   4   and was surprised to see a

So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I  12  myself if I iust sat on the couch every day and

man told me, "You aren"t doing nothing because being fully open to your  17  may be the hardest work you will
ever do."

     Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten
the name of the old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-
old boy. Yet it exists in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget.
     On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady"s house. The
object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the edge of the roof.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped
from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady"s back
porch. At the sound of crashed glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away.
     I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken
window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn"t been discovered, I started to feel
guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no
longer able to act comfortable in her presence.
     I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars
to cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for
breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
     I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady"s house, and put the letter I didn"t sign through the letter
slot in her door. Once again, I could have the freedom of looking straight into the old lady"s kind eyes.
     The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving
from her. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself.
     Reaching for the cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was
surprised. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, "I"m proud of you!"
1. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The author was a newsboy when he was 12 years old.
B. The old lady didn"t know who broke the window.
C. The author felt guilty of breaking the old lady"s window.
D. The story happened forty-three years ago.
2. The underlined words "snuck up" in the fifth paragraph probably means "_____".
A. went quietly
B. quickly made my way
C. stole something of no value
D. searched in a secret way
3. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Bag of Cookies
B. A Broken Window
C. The Secret in the Cookies
D. A Painful Lesson
4. _____ probably impressed the author of the passage most.
A. The cookies made by the lady
B. The note inside the cookie bag
C. The broken window
D. The lady"s forgiveness

surprised me.
     "Look around. Do you see the fern (蕨类植物) and the bamboo? When I planted their seeds, I took good
care of them. The fern quickly grew from the earth.   3   nothing came from the bamboo seed. During the
following three years, the fern grew more plentiful. And   4   nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did

to the fern it was   6   small and insignificant. But just 6 months later the bamboo   7   to over 100 feet tall. It
