Several weeks ago, my friend advised us to sell some of our things which we will not use any more. I thought it was a good chance to 46 my 7-year-old son’s room and 47 some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with. We 48 that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.
The night before the 49 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too 50 for him. In the yard he 51 the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we 52 . It wasn’t in the best 53 and was certainly not new, but the tires were 54 good.
We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was 55 , my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that 56 “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was 57 there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was 58 free. She said yes and that he could have it for 59 . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.
Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very 60 , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering 61 they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him 62 . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had 63 . He was so happy to 64 that someone else would make good 65 of that little bike!

举一反三
It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing (挤过去) past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize (批评) others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.
小题1:What is the author’s attitude towards English politeness?| A．He thinks it is unnecessary. | B．He thinks little of it. | | C．He appreciates it very much. | D．He thinks it goes too far. |
小题2:What can be inferred from the passage?| A．German men never treat a woman to dinner. | | B．The author think it’s unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver. | | C．In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job. | | D．Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough. |
小题3:We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men ______.| A．like to fight with each other | | B．treat women in a polite way | | C．are as generous as English men | | D．are unwilling to spend money for women |
小题4:The author develops the text through the method of ______.| A．making comparisons | B．telling stories | | C．giving reasons | D．giving examples |

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Farmers and gardeners have long used greenhouses to extend the growing season in cold weather. Now, hoop houses are gaining popularity. Some hoop houses are rounded; others are shaped more like a traditional house.
A hoop house is basically a metal frame covered with plastic or other all-weather material. A common design looks like a high tunnel. Unlike a greenhouse, which uses a heating system, a hoop house is heated by the warmth of the sun.
Now, the United States Department of Agriculture has announced a program to help farmers who want to build hoop houses. The department has been supporting a project in Michigan. That state has a short growing season. As part of the research project, nine farmers were given materials and trained how to build and use a hoop house. The results showed that well-managed hoop houses can grow high-quality crops.
However, crops are not the only things that grow well. The research found that weeds grow faster in a hoop house. Weeding (除草), seeding and watering requires at least as much work as crops grown in the open air. The researchers also advise growers to add compost（堆肥） material to the soil in hoop houses to build nutrients.
Eliot Coleman is an organic farmer and a writer in Maine who has helped popularize the idea of four-season farming. His ideas about hoop houses sounded good to John Biernbaum in the Horticulture（园艺）Department at Michigan State University.
Professor Biernbaum tried hoop houses on the Student Organic Farm at Michigan State and had success. Project director David Conner says it was a "test drive（试车）" for the research on private farms. The agricultural economist points to the demand for locally grown crops. "People are hungry for good, fresh vegetables," he says.

When I settled in Chicago，my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. Then I had a 26 problem and had to go to hospital for a 27 examination.
It seemed a small 28 compared to the one I was about to face ,but things started to go 29 right from the beginning , Not having a car or 30 the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get me from A to B. 31 I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was 32 I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly boarded a bus that was taking me in the 33 direction.
I 34 the bus and stood on the pavement not knowing what to do. I looked into the eyes of a 35 , who was trying to get past me. 36 , instead of moving on ,she stopped to ask if I was 37 . After I explained my 38 to her, she pointed to a bus stop across the street , where a bus would take me back into the city to my 39 . Sitting there waiting, I felt 40 that someone had been willing to help . 41 , hearing a horn （喇叭） nearby, I looked up to see a car with my new friend 42 at me to get in, She had returned to offer me a 43 to the hospital.

“Old wives’ tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example，most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking，but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you，too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems？Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains(谷物) tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold_water,_there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?| A．Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth. | | B．Eating garlic is good for our eyes. | | C．Swimming after a meal is dangerous. | | D．Carrots prevent people from catching colds. |
小题2:The author develops the third paragraph mainly________.| A．by cause and effect | B．by order in space | | C．by examples | D．by order in time |
小题3:The phrase“ hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means“________”．| A．to be valuable | B．to be believable | | C．to be admirable | D．to be suitable |
小题4:What is the author’s attitude towards“old wives’ tales”in the text?| A．Subjective(主观的). | B．Objective(客观的). | C．Dissatisfied. | D．Curious. |
