As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to 36 a little pocket money.
One day I 37 on the door of an elderly woman and asked 38 she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in 39 and I showed her my worn 40 , which no longer kept me warm. She 41 me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be 42 now.” She then 43 a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a 44 job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to 45 new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to 46 me with your report card and I will 47 you when I see you have worked hard and have some good 48 . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much 49 as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and 50 so much money that it was 51 for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she 52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I 53 her that I had an “A”.
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge 54 this wonderful lady made over my life with her 55 . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.

举一反三
One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather．Several times, it 36 obstacles（障碍物in its path．And after a pause it made the necessary detour. At one point, the ant had to 37 a crack(裂缝) about 10 mm wide．After some brief thoughts, the ant laid the 38 over the crack, walked across it and 39 up the feather on the other side, then continued on its way．I was 40 by the cleverness of this ant．It was only a small insect, lacking in 41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. 42 this ant, like the other two-legged creatures 43 on the earth, also shares human feelings．
After some time the ant finally reached its 44 – a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its 45 home．It was there that the ant met its 46 . How could that large feather possibly 47 such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t．So the ant, after all this trouble and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just 48 the feather and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through 49 it began its journey and in the end the feather was 50 more than a burden. Isn’t our 51 like this?
We worry about our families; we worry about our money or the 52 of it; and we worry about all kinds of things．These are all 53 —the things we pick up all the life, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to 54 that at the destination they are 55 and we can’t take them with us．

Justin’s bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could hardly get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
“What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”
When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack — a smaller bag of his bedroom — a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.
Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.
“Do you think you have something in your backpack that could help me remember my locker combination (箱子密码)?” he asked. “I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I’m late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year.” Kenny looked really worried.
“Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and opened it. “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in my home to write the combination down? Well, I know how I can recover what you wrote.”
He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his backpack. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white.
“That’ s amazing!” Kenny said, “I owe you one.” And he dashed off to open his locker.
It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was “Never throw anything out; you never know when it might come in handy.”
小题1:Why is Justin’s room in such a mess?| A．He always forgets to clean it. | | B．He never throws anything out. | | C．He has no time to clean it. | | D．He shares the room with his brother. |
小题2:In what way is Justin’s blue backpack used?| A．He uses it as a place to store collected objects. | | B．He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment. | | C．His parents tell him to clean it all the time. | | D．He carries it to remind others of his ability. |
小题3:The underlined phrase “pleaded with” means .| A．ignored | B．asked | C．pushed | D．admired |
小题4:How does Kenny feel toward Justin?| A．Annoyed | B．Disinterested | C．Grateful | D．Angry |

Armed with two over-packed suitcases, we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the 36_ in her eyes. One last hug and a final good-bye, and I would be on my way to a new life 37 .“ You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I’ll 38 you,” I replied, and with those words I 39 . By the time I reached the customs, I was 40 . While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the 41 to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the 42 seat next to mine.
Born just fifteen months apart, we not only looked alike, we were alike. We both had that same mix of 43 and fear of all things unknown to us. One sunny summer day I was playing outside when she came 44 to me and said, “ Want to come to the attic(阁楼)？” The answer was always “ 45 ”. We were frightened of the attic but also 46 by its smells and sounds. Together we would get through masses of dust and look through a lot of boxes _47 we found what we needed.
The plane shook 48 and my bag fell onto the floor. My aspirin, hairbrush and some other things were 49 on the floor. I _50 over to gather them up when I saw a(an) _51 little book in the middle of my belongings. It was a diary.
Immediately I 52 my sister’s handwriting. “Hi, Sis. What a day it has been today. You let me know that you are moving abroad…” Only _53 did I realize that my sister had been 54 a diary for the past month.
I read about my sister’s comings and goings during the flight. Even though a large ocean 55 us, at some point it felt like she was actually there.

My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it, and I had to practice it a thousand times． I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound told me we were having a baby．
Finally, my son was born.
The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.
I stood up, holding my breath． She showed me my baby． “My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”
But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will swear they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.
People ask me, “What did you feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.
After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then out of the blue, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced.
“Dad,” I whispered.
“My son,” my heart heard him saying.
Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.
“My son,” I imagined him saying.
“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.
At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father. The old man in front of me seemed to agree. He smiled and we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever.
小题1:Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?| A．His son called him “Dad” when the writer called him “My son”． | | B．All the people didn’t hear the baby say except the writer． | | C．Sanchez is the writer’s family name． | | D．The baby was taken away because the nurse found there was a mistake． |
小题2:The author couldn’t tell how he felt at the moment because ________．| A．he was a writer | | B．he was too excited | | C．he was too nervous | | D．it’s a feeling too complex to express |
小题3:We can learn the following from the passage EXCEPT that ________．| A．the author got his first baby | | B．he probably had a lung disease | | C．the author didn’t really hear “Daaaaad” from his baby | | D．the baby would change the author’s life |
小题4:Why was the writer sure he was going to be a great father?| A．Because his son is so gifted． | | B．Because he had much experience in bringing up children． | | C．Because his father promised to help him． | | D．Because his father had already set him a good example． |

He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family’s cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch (鲈鱼) with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure（鱼饵） and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.
When his peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
“You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy.
“There will be other fish,” said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision was not negotiable（可协商的）. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.
The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father’s cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics (道德规范).
小题1: Why did the father ask his son to put the perch back?| A．Because the father disliked the perch. | | B．Because the father was afraid of being fined | | C．Because the ethics must be obeyed. | | D．Because the son was more experienced in fishing than his father. |
小题2:When does the architect (the father’s son) think of that perch put back?| A．When he takes his own and son and daughters fishing from the same dock. | | B．When he builds many famous buildings. | | C．When he pays a visit to his old father. | | D．When he faces some problems about ethics. |
小题3:Which word can not be used to describe the boy’s father?| A．honest | B．noble-minded | C．caring | D．generous |
