He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow…1.____
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree. One day, the boy
came back to the tree and looked sad. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy." I am on longer a
kid. I don"t play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry,
but I don"t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. Sp, you will have money." The boy
was so excited. 2.____ The boy didn"t come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

have time to play. I have to work for my family. 3.____ Can you help me?" "Sorry, but I don"t have a house.
But you can cut off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left
happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn"t appear since then. The tree was again lonely
and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said.

for you to climb on." "I am too old for that now." the boy said. "I really want to give you something… the only
thing left is my dying roots." The tree said with tears. "I don"t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired

students come and go, 1 in the middle of my lectures. Mostly these students have entered college right out
of high school. College seems to them like 2 a continuation of high school, 3 the sense of newness that
often drives curiosity and achievement. But there is a category of students that gives everyone reasons for 4 .
They are the so- called "nontraditional students": those who, for one reason or 5 , didn"t go to college when
they were 18.
Some years back, while calling out names from the roster (花名册) on the first day, I noticed a grayhaired
woman of about 70. She was wandering in the doorway, 6 her new books like a schoolgirl.
"I"m not on the roster," she volunteered. "But I was 7 if I could sit in on the first class, to see what marine
(海洋) biology is about." This woman"s eagerness 8 me, so I invited her to have a seat. I began the class with
questions to get a(n) 9 of how much knowledge they were bringing to the course. As I questioned them about
the difference between fishes and seagoing mammals, most of my new students remained 10 . But Natalie, the
older woman, was on the edge of her seat, 11 answers. At the end of class, she came up to me and apologized
for being the "extra" student. She said, "Will you 12 it next year?" 13 at losing her, I acted quickly to remove
her 14 . "I"ll see you next class." I said.
Natalie turned out to be a vital and 30 student. She commuted 15 miles each way to get to school-often in
the severe winter-and never missed a class. 16 this,she was enthusiastic about helping my younger students.
Apparently these older students have the 17 over them. It lies in the breadth and depth of their path of life. After
having 18 numerous personal and professional barriers, they have an expansive world view. 19 a return to
school may, at first, be frightening for them, they tend to make it because they are 20 great trouble to put their
studies into an already-full life. | ( )1. A. never

Only a 1 surgery could save him now and no one would 2 them the money. She heard Daddy say
to her tearful Mother with 3 . "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and 4 a glass jar from the closet. She poured all the change out on the

of the back door and made her way 6 7 to Rexall"s Drug Store.
She waited 8 so long but the pharmacist was too busy at this moment.
"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in a(n) 9 tone of voice. "I"m talking to my brother
from Chicago whom I haven"t seen for ages," he said.
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered. "He"s really, really sick and I want to
buy a 10 ."
"I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.
"My brother has something bad growing 11 his head and only a miracle can save him now. So how
much does a miracle cost?"
"Sorry, little girl. We don"t sell miracles here." he said, 12 a little.
The pharmacist"s brother 13 down and asked her "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"I don"t know," Tess replied with her eyes 14 up. "He needs an operation. But my Daddy can"t pay for it,
so I want to use my money."
"How much do you have?" he asked."One dollar and eleven cents," she 15 . "It"s the exact price of a
miracle for little brothers. Take me to 16 your brother. Maybe I have the miracle you need."
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, 17 in neurosurgery. The operation was
completed without charge and it wasn"t long 18 Andrew was home again.
"That surgery," Mom whispered, "was a(n) 19 miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?" Tess
smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost: one dollar and eleven cents plus the 20 of a little child. | ( )1.A. cheap

slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with
an unsigned note reading, "Drink your juice." Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able
to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn"t Dad love me?"
Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn"t love you?" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me
either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and
to pay for this house. That"s how your father tells us he loves us."
I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms
around me and tell me he loed me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school
I often hung around while he worked. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped as cleanly as a
butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors. with blades thicker than my
father"s body. If he didn"t feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don"t you hire
someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders
with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don"t you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.
Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I
walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never
told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them. | | 1. What would be the best title for the passage? | A. I just couldn"t understand my father
B. My father never loved me

tried to seek help for one or two poor families. This year, Kinzie, Ann"s seven-year-old daughter, was 1
that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a young mother named Ashley who worked in a factory and
was 2 her 12-month-old son, Evan, and her 12-year-old brother, Kenny, by herself.
At a 3 dinner, the phone rang. A representative from a local charity was calling to say that the 4 Ann
had requested for Ashley had been cancelled. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing. Ann saw the cheer fade
away from her children"s faces at the news. Without a word, Kinzie 5 down from her chair and ran from
the room. Now, it didn"t feel much 6 Christmas anymore. Kinzie returned, her face set with determination.
She had opened up her piggy 7 , and now she counted out the coins and broken dollar 8 , one by one,
onto the dining table: $3.30. Everything she had.
"Mom," she told Ann, "I know it"s not much. 9 maybe this will buy a present for the baby."
Then 10 everyone was reaching into pockets and purses. Adding to Kinzie"s gift became a game, with
everyone 11 for loose change. By the time the search ended, there was a small mountain of bills and a neat
pile of coins. The 12 : $130, plenty for a Christmas for three. "God multiplied your gift," Ann said to Kinzie.
That evening, Kinzie went with her mother and sisters to 13 the money.
On Christmas Eve, Ann 14 through the pouring rain to the small cottage where the family lived. When
Ashley opened the door, Ann stood under her umbrella and 15 the astonished woman a merry Christmas.
Then she began to 16 the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one. Ashley laughed in disbelief,
and still the presents came. Ann abandoned the umbrella, and the young woman joined her in the rain, passing
gifts 17 to Kenny. "Please, can I open up just one tonight?" he begged. Soon both women were 18 to the
skin, and surprise had turned to something 19 , the kind of joy that brought them close to tears.
Reflecting on a little girl"s generosity, Ashley says she hopes she"ll one day be able to do something similar
for someone else in 20 . "Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away," Ashley says.
