I got a cancer when I was 18. This was a big deal for someone to 31. I chose to fight. After treatments, I 32 from my illness. Life couldn’t have been any 33. When I became fit years later, I met a wonderful man and got married. 34, I still felt something missing and eager to find my 35. As my 20-year anniversary (周年纪念) of being a cancer 36 approached, I wanted to do something special and 37. I organized a fundraiser, calling it “A Mission (使命) of Love” and thanks to my 38 family and friends, raised﹩4,000 for St. Jude’s, planning to 39 it myself. Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n) 40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying 41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt 42 activity for any child who felt well enough. Thanksgiving Day seemed the most 43 day of the year for the mission, and so it was all arranged. We went to a store and 44 three shopping carts with toys. It was 45 we were celebrities (名人) when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing. On Thanksgiving Day, as we got to St. Jude’s, I became 46 emotional, as my eyes were filled with tears of 47. After dropping the toys off, we arrived where six children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. To me, it was as though they weren’t sick, and to see them smile was the greatest gift I could have ever 48. Leaving there that day, I knew I had finally found my purpose. All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t 49 why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you 50 in life. It’s what you do for others.

Sometimes life makes more sense when you look at it in reverse (相反). That"s certainly been true for me. Last Christmas, at 39, I caught a disease which attacked my knees and eyes. At its worst I could hardly walk or see. For months I" d have to crawl (爬) across the floor to use the bathroom or get a drink of water when my husband wasn"t home. For a while I could only see shapes and colors so I couldn"t drive. My parents kept begging me to let them come out to stay with me in Los Angeles, but our apartment is small and I knew there was nothing they could really do to help me. For the excellent health insurance my husband had through his job, I was receiving the best medical care possible. My only problem was that I couldn"t drive to my doctors" appointments and I didn"t want my husband to keep missing work to drive me. Three days after I explained this to my parents, a check came from them with a note saying this was "taxi money". Several months later another check showed up from my brother to help make up our income since I wasn"t able to work. It probably goes without saying that I was extremely grateful to have family members who could and would support me during the hard time. In terms of my day-to-day existence, I live in a village within Los Angeles called Brentwood so I was able to walk to the local post office, market, bank, and library. But once there, I had to depend on the kindness of strangers to help me. Los Angeles is a big city, but I lived in a village with a wonderful community (社区) of people who were kind and patient. Slowly I became well. Life was good again and I thought I had a clear understanding of the blessings (恩惠) this illness has provided. 小题1:When the author"s husband was at home, he __________.A.was still busy working | B.often had a good rest | C.often helped her a lot | D.taught her to drive a car | 小题2:Why did the author not want her husband to drive her to her doctors" appointments?A.Her husband didn"t drive well. | B.Her husband was too busy. | C.She didn"t want to affect his work. | D.Her doctor was far away from her. | 小题3:What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A.The help that the author received from her family members. | B.The influence of the author"s disease on her family. | C.The author"s thanks to her family members. | D.The way the author saw her doctors. | 小题4:What did the author feel about Brentwood?A.She thought it was small but convenient. | B.She felt it was hard to live there. | C.She thought it was small and strange. | D.She felt warm and comfortable there. |

I was in lodgings (寄宿处) now, on my own, but the other lodgers had constant visitors up and down the stairs past my door. None of this disturbed me except one girl who sang softly to herself an old Russian folk song as she ran up to the room above. It was a sound of sweetness, musical, soft, unselfconscious and happy. I began to listen out for it, jumped up from my table, and threw open the door to catch a glimpse(一瞥) of her as she passed, but I was always too late. I asked the people upstairs who she was, and described the beautiful sounds she made. They became rather reserved(拘谨) and exchanged glances and hurriedly admitted it might be Sally. I thought she was someone special, not to be discussed in the ordinary way, and became a little curious to meet her. But the last thing I wanted at that stage was to get caught up with anybody. I’d just come to the end of a rather painful friendship, and now I had work to do. One day, I came face to face with a girl on the landing. It was certainly her; whoever made that noise would look as she did. We stood and stared at each other too long for comfort. I broke the moment and, excusing myself, moved past her because it was too like the movies. I thought for some time of that long, silent stare, and laughed. She was tall and looked proud, with a slight , round-shouldered look that made me breathless and I didn’t know why. 小题1:At his lodgings, the author __________.A.seldom had visitors | B.wished he had more visitors | C.was always disturbed by other people’s visitors | D.had too many visitors. | 小题2:Whenever the author heard the sound of the girl’s voice__________.A.he sat listening to it | B.he saw her moving upstairs | C.he threw down his books | D.he tried to see who it was | 小题3:People who were asked about the girl__________.A.told him all about her | B.didn’t want to tell him much | C.didn’t tell him anything | D.were angry when he mentioned her | 小题4:From this passage we can see that the author was____________.A.was not interested in Sally | B.curiously attracted by Sally | C.angry at being disturbed by Sally | D.afraid to get to know Sally |

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office. “What are you doing at home?” I asked casually. “Andrew, I was 31 today,” he answered quietly. I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you 32 at home?” Then I noticed his 33 and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. 34 our family has been his joy, and I guess I have 35 his work for granted. My father’s unemployment 36 many changes in our lives. For starters, he was at home all the time, which meant my bed had to be 37 , my room cleaned up, and my 38 done right after school.

Day by day, I watched him 47 it, and I admired how much time and 48 he expended. I 49 knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really affected me.

Hallmark arrived in my hometown of Calcutta, India when I was 16. On Valentine’s Day(情人节), I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store. I remember wishing two things. One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism(资本主义) was ruining your culture. The next Valentine’s Day, I still didn’t have a boyfriend, but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer. I can’t remember what it exactly said inside the card, but it hardly mattered. I know I’m not the only one who’s had the blues because of being single on Valentine’s Day. It’s not just on Valentine’s Day that I’m reminded of these feelings. One night, my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive. The station was mostly full of college students, and later an older couple walked in. Just at that moment, a street musician started playing She’s Only a Woman to Me. The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world. On the train, I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station, and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员). My view of romance has changed from when I was 16 in Calcutta to now, 23, and living in Manhattan. This year, I won’t focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day. I’ll spend Valentine’s Day with friends in New York City. But I won’t try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone. Instead, I’ll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome. 小题1:The underlined word “Hallmark” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to a .A.city | B.street | C.store | D.man | 小题2:We can infer that in the opinion of the writer’s father .A.his daughter should have received a gift | B.people in India shouldn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day | C.people in India should welcome Western culture | D.his daughter should know more about capitalism | 小题3:According to Paragraph 2, if someone has the blues, he or she is probably .A.lucky | B.angry | C.excited | D.sad | 小题4:What is implied in the passage?A.The writer now has a boyfriend. | B.The writer now is afraid of Valentine’s Day. | C.The writer will go to Rome with her coupled-up friends. | D.The writer’s attitude towards Valentine’s Day has changed. |
