It was  Monday.  Mrs Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way,  Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper,  and wrote the following words on it “Give my dog half a pound of meat. ” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“  Take this to the butcher and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
At sunset, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it. he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his regular customers .
 However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. At six o’clock,, it came for more meat, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith feed it with so much meat today?”
Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there was a piece of blank paper. He laughed and phoned Mrs Smith.

Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife    36  .
John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the    37   of the ten people who have saved the life of others.
John had been studying in his room when he heard  38 . When he and his father rushed outside, they    39   that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed(刺)   40   with a knife by her ex-boyfriend(前男友). The man ran from the  41  and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden    42   very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.
It was John’s quick    43   and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of the    44   people for bandages(繃帶), but when nobody could put their hands on anything, his father got some tea towels(毛巾)and    45   from their house. John used these to dress the most severe    46   to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the    47   and ambulance arrived.
“I’m    48   of what I did but I was just doing what I had been    49  ,” John said.
John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When   50  John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme, said, “   51  is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid52   that he had learned at school saved Ms Slade’s life. It shows that a simple knowledge of the first aid can make a real   53  .”
John and the nine other lifesavers also attended a    54   reception yesterday hosted by the Prime Minister before    55   their awards last night.

You may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building, but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don’t fight fires quite that way. When they go into action, you may not even see a fire truck.
The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wildness areas. But don’t think you’ll only find them in their home state California. Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency, the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.
But these firefighters don’t work the same way as firefighters in a big city. They work in areas where there are a large number of trees, bushes, and grass. They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris(殘。. They sometimes use water, but they often fight fire with fire!
They do that by lighting what are called “backfires,” which are small, controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of large wildfires. That way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go, because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work. For example, they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires. But the water is limited, and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything. Physical fitness is very important. They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.
The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay. But thanks to their efforts, many lives have been saved, many houses have not burned, and countless trees are still standing.
小題1:67. The firefighters mentioned in the passenger. 
A.do much of their work in California
B.a(chǎn)void climbing steep hills in their work
C.do their work equipped with advanced tools.
D.carry out their work mostly in forests and mountains.
小題2:68. According to the passage, why do the firefighters light “backfires”?
A.To signal for help.B.To remove obstacles.
C.To protect trees and bushes.D.To prevent the fire from spreading.
小題3:69. What can we learn about the Golden Eagles Hotshots?
A.They are firefighters working in big cities.
B.Their work requires physical strength.
C.They are voluntary firefighters working for free.
D.They usually hold a hose to put out the fires.
小題4:70. What is the author’s attitude towards the Golden Eagles Hotshots?
A.AppreciativeB.DoubtfulC.WorriedD.Critical

Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete(不完整的), it could only roll very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece.
Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole, with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lost something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone is loving him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn’t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always live a wonderful time in our lives.
小題1:The circle rolled very slowly because it __________.
A.spent much time talking to worms

Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.
Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends(小商品)for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said “FIVE CENTS EACH’. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.
Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.
By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was : ‘THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”
小題1:Frank took a short business course in order to __________.
A.earn more money for his family
B.learn something from a salesman
C.get away from the farm
D.get enough to eat
小題2:Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because ________.
A.he knew how to get people to buy his goods
B.he cut down the price by half
C.he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way
D.the sign he put on the table was well designed
小題3: The price of the knives was cut down by half because _________.
A.the factory workers worked 24 hours a day
B.knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory
C.the knives were made in German, where labour was cheap
D.the knives were produced in one factory
小題4:__________  make Woolworth a world-famous man.
A.His business skills and his wealth
B.The low price of the goods he sold
C.His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives
D.His natural skill for showing things
小題5:The belief that “The customer is always right” suggests that __________.
A.whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are always right.
B.If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way
C.stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money
D.stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful
