题型:不详难度:来源:
When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I"ve become vice-president, but that hasn"t changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.
The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.

Several years ago, I worked as a truck driver for a company. On Saturdays I usually spent several hours doing something to keep my truck in good condition.
One Saturday, as I was cleaning my truck, I noticed the boss’s elderly father came out to ask his grandson to take him fishing after work. The grandson told him all about how much he would love to do that, but he just couldn’t because he had other plans already. The old man hobbled (蹒跚) off to the house.
Then I heard the grandson telling his dad, "I’m not taking that old man fishing! It’s worse than taking a kid."
That just broke my heart.
I quit working immediately and went home to fetch my fishing gear (渔具) and a chair. Then I came back and invited the old man to go fishing. He accepted happily.
When we got to the river, I let him sit in the chair at the edge of the water. It wasn’t long before he got a fish. He got one fish after another. His eyes were shining like a child. About half an hour later, he told me he was tired and needed to go home. So I took him and the fish home.
Two weeks later, the old man died. His family told me later that all he talked about during that time was his fishing trip. I am satisfied that I have taken an old man on his last fishing trip, but I am sorry that his family have lost their last chance. Whenever you get the chance, don’t forget about taking Grandpa fishing. Someday, you may be in the same place and you’ll want your family to care about you, too.
小题1:The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________.
A.tell us something about his work
B.tell us about a fishing experience
C.persuade us to take Grandpa fishing
D.persuade us to care about the elderly
小题2:The old man’s Grandson refused to fish with him because ______.
A.he had something more important to do that day
B.he didn’t like to fish with an old man
C.he was tired of his job and he wanted to rest
D.he preferred fishing with a child
小题3:What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word "quit"?
A.startB.stopC.imagineD.try
小题4:According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that the author is _______.
A.willing to make his boss happy
B.in need of care from his family
C.prefers fishing to his work
D.kind and warm-hearted

A group of class friends, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon          into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the          and returned with a large pot of coffee and a couple of          — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some          looking, some expensive, some delicate — telling them to         themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in         , the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,          behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is          for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that is the          of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself          no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.          all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went          the best cups. And then you began               each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the        ; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define nor         the quality of life we         . Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we          to enjoy the coffee God has          for us. God brews the coffee, not the cups…Enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just          the best of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the          to God.

My grandfather went to high school in the 1920s. While in school, he became       in the drama program, acting in various productions. He       in touch with his drama teacher.
My father went to high school in the 1960s. Like his      before him, he acted in high school. He, too,stayed in touch with his drama teacher for the rest of the teacher"s       I graduated in 1997. When Hoover, my drama teacher, was      in Alaska, I didn"t want her to feel like she was ending her life     , so I sent her many packages, including Drama Club yearbook photos from each year she      there in order that she could see the students whose lives she forever     .
Her nickname for our group of Drama Club was "the Throwaway Kids".      , no? She described us as that       we were nonconformists (不墨守成规者) that other teachers didn"t         know what to do with. She simply      us for who we are, and that was exactly what we needed.
We have all become       members of society: reporters, lawyers, and singers, soldiers, doctors and, you guessed it, teachers. Every member of my family is a teacher. This year        the 73rd year we have taught in Alaska altogether.
      me, teaching the course is only one important part of the     job. As I returned to my classroom just before the final bell      on the last day of school in May, I thought how the most emotional part of the experience will not be seeing the recent       return to say "hello" at Christmas. That was how the     of keeping in touch with our teachers our whole life long began in my family. Honestly, learning      a lifetime.

One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow.        the little bird had flown into our open garage. Then I        the bird before I saw it.
“What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound.
“It’s coming from the        .”my wife, Anita, said. “Maybe it’s one of the little        .”
I looked into the garage. No children at all. But there was that sound again, coming from right up there. And that’s         I saw the sparrow. It was flying        just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly        to get out, but couldn’t see the way out was not up, but        and and out through the garage door. So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head        the ceiling.
I tried to terrify it out, but only succeeded in driving it into the        open space between the door and the ceiling. Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet         it could get outside, but that only seemed to        it more.
“Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes,” Anita        .“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.”
We went back into the house, where we        to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling. Then suddenly, it was        and our uninvited guest was gone.
I’ve        that little sparrow through the years, and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people. We think we were        to fly ever upward, and we don’t even consider the        that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit. Once we figure out that we can make        without banging(碰)our heads against ceilings, we can usually save ourselves much        .
