Recently, I was finishing my work at home    3  the dog barked letting me know that   4  was at the gate. I rushed to see who it was and there I saw a   5  weak woman in her late fifties.

A few days ago my   9  tripped on the stairs while

"Oh!" I said. "Please  13  here." I went into the room. I felt really bad about her  14  but--- Was she telling me the   15  or trying to cheat me out of my money?
Finally, I   16 to help her. But first I said a simple prayer, "Dear Lord, you know  17  I earn my pennies, so please make sure that my hard earned money helps those who  18 need it. Amen." I went out with a fifty note and
  19 it to her. The moment she got the money she broke down in tears. She took my hand and said, "May god bless you, my dear! Thank you so much!"
I was so   20 , and turned back to my work smiling.

The most frightening words in the English language are “our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down at the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do you do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s right, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down, it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said, “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They are still flying, aren’t they?”
“I can’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington.” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the desk screen. “Only IT knows. It can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
小題1:The word “down” in the sentence ‘Our computer is down.’ means _____________.
A．fallingB．downcastC．dropD．dead
小題2:The best title of the article is _________.
A．Asking the Computer
B．The Computer of the Airport
C．The Most Frightening Words
D．When the Computer Is Down
小題3:What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?

When I was young, my father used to grow carnations — a kind of flower that was red, pink or white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from work, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”
One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnation from their stems（枝干）one by one and arranged them on the ground. She believed that dad would be very pleased to see them that way.
When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely speechless. However, my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation. When dad arrived, he went as usual straight to watch the flowers. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors’ children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”
Dad’s face changed into a smile and then he said, “Do I have better flower than my lovely daughter?” My younger sister smiled and hugged（擁抱）dad strongly.

Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected．But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles (S.O.S.) charity．
A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California, Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with knee and hip injuries．
“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and the confidence I got from running,” he says, “And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes．”
Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, then asked his friends to donate．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas this year．When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round endeavor．
Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the YMCA and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups．Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation center．He has started accepting adult sizes and sandals．So far, S.O.S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs．
Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes．After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the worn-out ones for recycling．
To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a nonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world．Keven Baxter, founder and president, says, “We’d send kids balls and shoes．I've heard that for many of these kids, these old sneakers are the only shoes they had．They wear them to school and to do sports．So Greg’s running shoes were a nice addition for us．”
For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity．Two young boys in Southern California attended school on alternate days because they shared a pair of shoes．They were too big for one boy and too small for the other．Thanks to S.O.S., each brother received his own pair of shoes．The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning．When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them．
小題1:What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?
A．The benefits from playing sports．
B．News about some poor children．
C．His reflection to school life．
D．The medical treatment he received．
小題2:When collecting more sneakers than expected, Woodburn decided to          ．
A．include adult sizes and sandals
B．set up branches in different cities
C．collect shoes throughout the year
D．expand his endeavor in the whole city
小題3:How did Woodburn manage to deliver the shoes collected?
A．By sending them by mail．
B．By working with Sports Gift．
C．By advertising for those in need．
D．By offering them from door to door．
小題4:What can we learn from Keven Baxter’s remarks?
A．Sports Gift is popular around the world．
B．Many children need Greg’s old sneakers．
C．Greg’s running shoes are the best gifts for children．
D．International organization should provide more help．

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp (軍營). It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.
“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but....”
Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”
“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”
小題1:The military camp was built in the village to ________.
A．stop the soldiers from going to towns
B．stop the soldiers from meeting their friends
C．train the new soldiers
D．make the young men live quietly
小題2:Mr. Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because ________.
A．he was kind to themB．they felt lonely
C．they had something important to doD．they were the best of all
小題3:The young officer was worried because ________.
A．a(chǎn) traffic accident had happened
B．he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiers
C．the nine soldiers would come back
D．the nine soldiers drank too much in the town
小題4:Which of the statements do you think is true?
A. You’ll believe only the last soldier.
B. The officer believed the nine soldiers.
C. You’ll believe none of the nine soldiers.
D. The officer wouldn’t punish his soldiers.
