Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 38 for a 17-year-old. Then, on Day three, as we were 39 over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑）, “Pretty hard. ”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes 40 large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized （着迷）. He couldn’t stop 41 . Later he said 42. “I wish I could speak French.” I was 43－this from a boy who hated and 44 French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he 45 Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed（活泼起来）.
46 , the moment that really took 47 breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was 48 a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 49 . Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and 50 to become part of the leadership of the 51 .
Learning her story, Barrett was as 52 as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a 53 of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay 54 as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This 55 achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He’ll be a man.

解析
小题1:D.本题需要从全文角度才能更好的做出判断.首先,作者要带孩子去的地方是偏僻穷困的地方,再从Barrett的表现和最后一段作者认为完全达到了此行的目的----促进了孩子的成长.所以应该是教育孩子.
小题2:A.rough:艰苦的, 与tiring并列,修饰 trip,从上下文中能看出这个意思
小题3:B.too much(for someone): (对于某人而言)很不合适, 做不了, 受不了.
小题4:C. 上文已经说明了这次旅行会很幸苦, 已经到了第三天, 不可能再run了; B也不合适, 因为这时Barrett回头笑着说很幸苦, 所以应该是在进行中, 不是向下看的时候. 而move和climb相比,后者更强调费尽,努力地;所以climbing更符合此时的情景.
小题5:A. too在这里是程度副词, 这件衣服穿在小姑娘身上太大了.
小题6:D. 从上下文能看出Barrett看到这个小姑娘在他身边很着迷的样子, 不禁笑了, 想与她交流. 如果是其他选项, 下文中就应该出现喊叫或者开玩笑的具体内容才符合文章的逻辑,所以其他选项不合适.
小题7:B.一方面是上文中体现他想与小姑娘交流, 还有从本段最后可以看出Barrett很讨厌学习法语,可以看出应该是遗憾的说: 我希望我会说法语.
小题8:D.从下文hated…throughout school可看出Barrett变化之大,所以作者这时的心情应该是惊讶.
小题9:C. hated是信息词，and表示并列或者递进, 所以A, B 都不对. Call off指取消,和时间状语throughout school不搭配.
小题10:A. 从本句kept asking…和下句的he blossomed…可知应该选A. befriend对待…如朋友,协助, 照顾; disregard不理, 忽视; avoid避免; recognize认出.
小题11:D. 文章到这里进入本文的最高潮: 真正让作者很吃惊 (take one’s breath away) 的发生在深山中的一个小村子. 所以应该是转折.
小题12:B. 在倒数第二段作者专门交待了Barrett对此事的感受 (Barrett was as…as I), 所以这里只是讲”我”的感受.
小题13:B. 其他选项的含义放在这里都不合适, 只能是为一篇文章而采访她.
小题14:C从下一句中的though determination, 可以知道the woman villager意志坚强strong in mind.
小题15:B. struggle: to try extremely hard to achieve something, even though it is very difficult. 所以符合上文的strong in mind/through determination.
小题16:A.此段的第一句话交待了事件发生的地点是in village.
小题17:D. touched: 感动.
小题18: A. combination: 结合, 混合; composition: (某物的) 组成物质或者成分, (人工的) 合成物; connection: 连接.
小题19:B. stay behind: to remain in a place rather than leave留下来.
小题20:D. 首尾呼应从第一段的句子：told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37.可知填trip。
举一反三
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability（可利用性）of computer games. Maybe the books boom（繁荣）has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget（预算） report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half- hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less – often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on（热衷） reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator（指示物）of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

In my work I travel constantly．I always put off going to the airport until the last second．My wife, Lynda, was sitting next to me in the front seat．I was racing along and not paying much attention．Lynda cried out, “Look out! There is a red light up ahead．”
Being a trained behavioral science professional --- who teaches others the value of encouraging advice --- I naturally screamed at her, “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lynda didn’t speak to me．I wondered why she seemed mad at me．
During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis．I asked myself, “What was the cost of just listening when Lynda called out the warning? Zero．” I then reasoned, “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people．
I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself．I immediately called Lynda and told her my cost-benefit story．I convinced her, “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, ‘Thank you．’”
A few months passed, and I had long forgotten the incident．Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lynda cried out, “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted, “Thank you!”
I’m a long way from perfect, but I’m getting better．My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better．And be ready for an answer．Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light．” When this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit．Then just say, “Thank you．”
小题1:What do we know about the author?
| A．He is expert at behavioral science． |
| B．He is gifted in cost-benefit analysis． |
| C．He always takes his wife’s advice． |
| D．He often runs the red traffic light． |
| A．lost personal judgment | B．forgot the practical method |
| C．became annoyed with the adviser | D．failed to say “Thank you” |
| A．should give their opinions patiently |
| B．tend to be defensive when given advice |
| C．had better study behavioral science |
| D．intend to follow others’ suggestions |
| A．do a cost-benefit analysis in daily life |
| B．discover potential benefits |
| C．learn from the author’s experiences |
| D．treasure others’ suggestions |
Much of that marketing drive is directed towards thousands of foreigners and foreign companies that call Shanghai home. But for Shanghai’s 13 million locals, regardless of personal interest, there seems no avoiding the season’s commercial greetings. Along some major roads, nearly every shop window displays some symbols to the holiday: a man-made fir tree(杉树) with lights, or a snowman.
With an increasing number of westerners arriving in the city for work, young Shanghainese, eager to keep pace with the latest western fashions, have begun to show their interest in Christmas. But some people still don’t think Christmas is an important festival in China. At least it is less important than the New Year and China’s Spring Festival.

After one month of my marriage, I started working because I could not sit home. To accomplish our dreams, we are both working hard day and night in spite of belonging to a good family. Life is very strange. When any turn happens, one cannot know.
I started working because I was very ambitious. I used to wonder about people who worked to earn their bread but I never knew in my wildest dreams that I would be part of the crow who work to earn a livelihood.
I was blessed with a daughter in November, 2009. She was just three months and 15 days old when I rejoined my job. My husband supported me and my family supported me but I never wanted to work again because I belonged to a family where a mother should give her full attention to her child.
Keeping all the values aside that I learnt from my parents, I went back to work and will work till my last breath.
I missed my daughter every second. She has started recognizing and throwing expressions for likes and dislikes. I cannot share my feelings with anyone, as I do not want anyone to know that I am broken completely from inside.
My husband and my daughter are my greatest strength but I ignore them just to earn money and fulfill my dreams that I have.
If one day, my daughter complains to someone about her mom, please tell her that she is my reason for survival and happiness and she is

“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak（高峰） in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association（CCA，中国消费者协会）offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies（旅行社） last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
小题1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
| A．Two. | B．Three. | C．Four. | D．Five. |
| A．Choosing the best travel agent. |
| B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to. |
| C．Traveling to Europe. |
| D．Cost. |
| A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to. |
| B．People spend more money than they had planned to. |
| C．People go to different places than they had palnned to. |
| D．People complained more than they had planned to. |
| A．the travelers agreed with the changes. |
| B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes. |
| C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes. |
| D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan. |
