cares much about what you have done.

best friend was coming to visit me.

My friend also noticed it. We looked at each other and smiled. 6 , people kept staring at us throughout
our meal 7 the strange atmosphere made me uncomfortable.
During the meal, I 8 that my friend finish as fast as possible so that we could get out of such an
embarrassing situation.
Suddenly my friend noticed another classmate passing by the 9 and he rose to his feet to 10 him. But
he was in such a hurry that he knocked down the table, leading to the hot soup pouring all over me. What was
more, his voice caught people"s 11 again. The 12 on their faces showed that they were laughing at us.
How embarrassed I was! My face turned red and I wished I could find a hole to 13 in. as quickly as
possible, I rushed out of the restaurant. My friend 14 and he caught up with me when I was so tired that I
had to stop. But he was so 15 that it surprised me.

| 阅读理解。 | I"m a volunteer for The American Diabetes (糖尿病) Association(ADA). I am on the planning committee
for a one-day cycling event called "Tour de Cure". It"s sponsored by the ADA and the profits( 利润) of this
event are used for diabetes research and program funding.
While I was talking to people about our "Tour de Cure" event in downtown Denver one day, I met a young
boy wearing a red hat from Oklahoma named Jack. I think he was 10-11 years old. It was the jar of red
rubber wrist bands (The American Diabetes Association diabetes awareness wrist bands) that caught Jack"s
eye. These are the bands we give out to people who have diabetes, who have a family member who has
diabetes or to those people who know someone who has diabetes.
People wear these for a variety of reasons: in memory of a loved one, to promote diabetes awareness and
to show support for people who have diabetes. Jack walked towards me eyeing the jar and then he said, "Can
I have one of those?" So, I replied to Jack, "Do you have someone in your family who has diabetes?" Jack
said,"No, but I know someone who has diabetes." So I gave him one to wear for his friend.
Then, Jack began looking at our "Tour de Cure" photo album. When Jack had finished and was about to
go, he looked up at me and said,"Would you take a donation?" I was surprised to hear this from a
10-11-year-old boy, but I said, "Yes." I took the lid of our donation container off as Jack was reaching into
his pocket. His hand came out clinched around the donation he was about to make. It was my impression that
what he had in his hand was everything he had in his pocket, as he did not count it. After Jack dropped his
donation into the container, I gave him a high-five, as I so often do to acknowledge an accomplishment or
an appreciation. I also gave him a handshake before he parted. After Jack left, I counted his gift-$3.00. I then
realized that he gave all he had, without counting the cost.
The heart of a child made me smile that day. Thank you, Jack. | | 1. What attracted Jack to walk towards the author? | A. The jar
B. The hat
C. The photo album

B. Jack was playing a joke on him

kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in
Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade
Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids:"I"m going to Afghanistan". And a few weeks later,
international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care.
In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving
27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement,
a sense of purpose, and my depression went away. In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the
tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs.
Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to
flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000
originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water
and food were also serious problems."Adventures or not?" I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the
end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would
visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my "adventures". I didn"t know how predictive those words
would be. But I know that she is still with me. | | 1. Where has the doctor been in the past few years? | A. Some countries where he could set up clinics.
B. Some African countries where flu broke out.
C. The places where the earthquakes happened.
D. The places that the horrible disasters struck. | | 2. How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan? | A. Tired and troublesome.
B. Busy and risky.
C. Meaningful and helpful
D. Frightening and depressing. | | 3. The underlined word "refugees" means people ______. | A. who are robbed, killed, or wounded
B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C. who like to take adventures
D. who have lost homes because of disasters. | | 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? | A. the doctor"s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.
B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
C. The doctor"s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.
D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life. | | 完形填空。 | Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late

goes wrong with an instrument, Charles West and Larry Jernigan do the repairs. Both men approach their
work with a passion. For them, it"s important that students have a joyful experience with music.
The two have worked together for almost 20 years. This year alone, they"ve fixed about 450 instruments.
Both men are musicians and music lovers, so learning to do repairs came naturally.
"I have been a musician all my life." says West. "I played in an orchestra here in the city. I majored in
music in college. I played in an army band."
Jernigan"s musical interests are varied. "I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar. The alto sax, and
the flute, I picked up while working here."
In addition to fixing instruments, the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to
make minor repairs on their own.
West believes if children start early and stay involved with music, it enriches other areas of their lives. "I
see that in other kids. I see it in myself. I have seen it hundreds of times and it works," he says. "They learn
teamwork. They learn patience and respect."
But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age.
"This instant age has taken away from the sit-down, the patience. And to learn to play an instrument, it
takes patience, it takes diligence, it takes time."
Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job. Both men agree their best rewards
are the students" performances. | | 1. What"s the job of West and Jernigan at school? | A. Teaching music.
B. Writing music.
