段落大意：本文是一篇記敘文，文章介紹的是 M r . Dawson 脾氣很壞，孩子們都不敢去他的庭院里摘蘋果。但是小Amy 卻和他很談得來。當(dāng)她的同伴問起原因時，她說她想象在M r . Dawson 的臉上帶著一種看不見的微笑，然后試著交往就成功了。

Dear Karen,
As you probably know, it’s my sister Suzie’s 16th birthday in a week. We’re planning a surprise party for her. Julie’s going to pick her up from school as usual on Friday but she’s not taking her home. She’s bringing her to the Palace Hotel, the big modern one near the station. We’re having a meal there and we’ve also hired (租用) the ballroom (舞廳) for a party in the evening. I hope you can come!

Anyway, we hope to make it a really special weekend for Suzie. On Sunday we’re all going for a walk in the country. You know how she loves walking and we’re all going to need a bit of exercise after all that lovely food. We’re hoping to go up to the lake. Marie said she wanted her kids to feed the ducks just like Suzie and she did when they were very young. I’m sure Suzie will love that too.

“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You  41 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
  42 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself  43 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still  44 saying  “No”.  45 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people  46 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look  47 beautiful with the new clothes  48 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think  49 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No,   50 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所當(dāng)然)that you  51 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by  52 . When  53 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident.  54 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great  55 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)

No more fear. The Iron Hammer is here. Lang Ping has become the newly appointed Chinese women’s national volleyball coach.
For the past four years, Chinese women's volleyball has been plagued by frustrating international results, frequent coach reshuffles, numerous injuries and a shortage of talent.
Volleyball was the first sport in which China succeeded on a global scale and was widely followed in the 1980s.
A prolonged slump might finally be coming to an end though, as Lang Ping was appointed head coach of the Chinese women's national team for the second time.
Known as the "Iron Hammer", Lang was the country's best-known volleyball icon and a symbol of the "never-say-die" spirit of the team in its heyday. She has been the favorite for the coaching post since the sports authority unveiled its four candidates on April 15. Her return is expected to bring attention and confidence back to the sport. Sina.com, more than 70 percent of participants said they believe Lang will lead women's volleyball back to the top flight internationally.
Lang's appeal among Chinese volleyball players is also expected to boost the current national lineup, which has several veterans who are planning to retire. National team player Wei Qiuyue, who was going to retire after the National Games in September, said she is ready to play for the national team for as long as needed now that Lang is the coach.
"Lang's rich coaching experiences give her quite a bit of familiarity with her opponents' strategy and character," Wei said. "She was also an outstanding athlete, which makes it easier for her to understand the feelings and mentality of the players."
小題1:Who is “the Iron Hammer”?
A．Deng Yaping B．Lang PingC．Li NaD．Zhao Wei
小題2:What does the underlined word mean?
A．金B．銀C．銅D．鐵
