阅读理解。     My family lived in Baltimore. One summer evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door.
I opened it to see a truly terrible-looking man."Why, he"s hardly taller than my eight-year-old," I thought as I
stared at the stooped (弯腰屈背的) body.
      Yet his voice was pleasant as he said,"Good evening. I"ve come to see if you"ve a room for just one night.
I came here for a treatment this morning form the eastern shore, and there"s no bus till morning." He told me
he"d been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. No one seemed to have a room."I guess it"s my
face. I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments…"
      I told him I would find him a bed. I went inside and finished getting supper. When I was ready, I asked the
old man if he would join me. "No, thank you. I have plenty." And he help up a brown paper bag.
     When I had finished the dishes, I went out on the porch (走廊) to talk with him for a few minutes. It didn"t
take a long time to see that this old man had an oversized heart crowded into that tiny body. He told me he
fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who lost his legs in a car
accident.
     At bedtime, I put a bed in the children"s room for him. When I got up in the morning,the bed linens (床单)
were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch. He refused breakfast, but just before he left for his
bus, haltingly (犹豫不决地), as if asking a great favor, he said,"Could I come back and stay the next time I
have a treatment? I can sleep fine in a chair." I told him he was welcome to come again. 1. The man came to Baltimore to ______. A. visit his son.
B. see a doctor
C. find a job
D. hunt for a room 2. Nobody would take the man in because ______.A. he was very poor
B. he was from the eastern shore
C. he was a man of strange appearance
D. there was no extra room 3. Which of the following is TRUE about the man? A. He was one of the author"s close friends.
B. He had trouble finding the author"s home.
C. He wore an oversized coat.

you last week when you gave us this assignment. I didn"t feel that I had anyone to say those words to and besides
who were you to tell me to do something  13  personal?"
     "But as I began driving home, my  14  started talking to me It was telling me that I knew  15  who I needed

     Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude
and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold
basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.
When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied. "Things aren"t always what they seem."   
     The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的) farmer
and his wife. After sharing the little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they
could have a good night"s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and
his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. The younger
angel was very angry and asked the older angel, "How could this happen? Why did you watch out for the
cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house," she accused, "The second family
had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help."
     "Things aren"t always what they seem," the older angel replied.
     "When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the
owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so that
 he wouldn"t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer"s bed, the angel of death came for his wife.
I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren"t always what they seem."

1. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
A. Because she didn"t like the greedy owner.
B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C. Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
2. The youngest angel was very angry because _____.
A. the old angel killed the farmer"s cow
B. the old angel treated the two families differently
C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live
D. the angel of death took the cow away
3. Why did the older angel let the farmer"s cow die?   
A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B. Because she wanted to teach the youngest angel a lesson.   
C. Because she wanted to save the farmer"s wife.   
D. Because she thinks it is unfair to the rich
4. The story tries to tell the reader that ______.   
A. angels are always ready to help the poor   
B. what we see is not necessarily what it is   
C. angles are always to help the rich
D. the young should always learn from the old

     Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands" shadow danced on the bedroom wall.
"A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old. Her blue eyes shone with pride as she showed
me the animated image she had created. "Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?" she asked. "Sure,"
I said, "and then we"ll read a story and tell your angels goodnight."To my youngest daughter, that meant her
bedtime prayer.
     Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story. She reads it to me, complete with
expressive accents for the story characters. To say I"m proud of our relationship would be an understatement.
We have shared days of joy as well as tragedy. Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love
and special "life stuff" that is all our own.
     I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually,
learning much from each other. The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create
memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. So it is with all of our relationships. The trust factor
is vital for relationships to develop. Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a
remarkable relationship at its center-one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart. Time
together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust. I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our
personal "Pinoechio lamps"-those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships.
     Relationships take time to develop and maintain. It is not always easy, but the results are priceless. "Nights
by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff",
spiritual gifts that no one can take away.
1. The underlined words in the second paragraph refer to all EXCEPT _____.
A. hands" shadow dancing on the wall
B. reading bed stories
C. sharing each other"s tragedy
D. praying to the angels for goodnight
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. The author thinks the relationship with his daughter is so simple that he can"t describe with plenty of words.
B. If you take time to attempt to build relationship, you will find it easy to get the satisfactory results.
C. Plant the spirit of trust into others and you will create valuable memories for each other.
D. It"s not worth spending time developing relationship if you meet the failure at last.
3. Why does the author write the passage?
A. To recall his fondest memories.
B. To stress the importance of trust in building relationships.
C. To explain how to create valuable memories.
D. To tell the readers how to educate children.
4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Life Stuff of Your Own
B. Nights by a Pinocchio Lamp
C. Unconditional gifts-Love
D. A spiritual quality shining outward from the heart

     "Mom, can I bake some bread?"  We were 15; my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our hands
at creating some beautiful bread.
     "It"s not worth the trouble,"  my mother said."It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery
bread
is delicious without all that effort."
     Begging was useless. Mom"s"no" meant"No!"
     But several weeks later, opportunity knocked. My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately
invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
     We studied the recipe. That was easy. "Mix oil into flour then beat in four eggs, one at a time, with
remaining sugar and salt."
      We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
      "Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it."
      We took turns working like that. "Is the dough "holding together"?"  we asked each other.
      I remembered my neighbor"s instructions: "If it"s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water."
      We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very
much. "Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,"  the recipe instructed.
     We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between
fingers. "Clean and oil bowl, and then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for
one
hour."
     This was good news-we"d have a break. On the dirty kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful
bread. "See?" we would tell my mom. "Isn"t it worth the work?" 
      Hanna and I couldn"t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing happened.
     "Maybe something will happen in the hot oven,"  I said.
     Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
     Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to
be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do it
right.

1. To the writer, what her mother said was _____.
A. law

2. Which of the following can best describe the children"s feelings while making their first bread?

A. Confident; hopeful; proud
B. Curious; hopeful; disappointed
C. Interested; excited; satisfied
D. Worried; satisfied; proud

3. Which of the following did the writer do without referring to the instructions?
A. Placed dough on floured surface.
B. Added eight cups of flour to eggs.
C. Returned dough to a cleaned bowl.
D. Placed the dough into the hot oven.
4. The passage mainly tells us _____.
A. the process of making bread
B. the conflict between mother and daughter
C. the first experience of making bread
D. the way of doing housework
