At the end of the year Rose finished her college education. One week after graduation Rose died _ in her sleep. Over two thousand college students _ her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by __ that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City，Calif.，to New Orleans.In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you'd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, “I don't want to get involved” has become a national motto.
Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker.Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.
Does anyone stop any more? I wondered.I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line：“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”. Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the goodwill of his fellow Americans.What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him，carry him down the road?
The idea intrigued me.
The week I turned 37，I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life.So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny.It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar.I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head.My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina，a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.
I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50­pound pack on my back and a  sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles：“America”．
For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles  across 14 states.As I traveled, folks were always warning me  about someplace else.In Montana they told me to watch out for  the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not  be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went.I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even  when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.
小題1:Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?
A．Because he failed to notice this man.
B．Because he was driving too fast.
C．Because he thought the young man didn't need help.
D．Because he was afraid of being tricked.
小題2:What was it that made the author upset?
A．Leaving the young man alone in the desert.
B．Being considered a fool.
C．Making the decision of not offering help so easily.
D．Keeping thinking about the young man.
小題3:The author decided to travel without a penny in order to ________.
A．find out how long he could survive without help
B．go through the great difficulty in surviving unexpected environment
C．find out whether strangers would offer help to him
D．figure out how strangers thought of his plan
小題4:In the passage，the author described his journey as a gamble because ________.
A．he was not so sure of the outlook of the journey
B．he had no money to give to strangers
C．he was sure of the coming sufferings
D．he wasn't sure whether to make the journey
小題5:The following part might probably ________.
A．describe how he fooled strangers
B．describe how strangers went out of their way to help him
C．explain why people refused to help strangers
D．explain how he overcame his difficulties on the way

Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your     ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a        afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a        windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,       their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was       .
“I’ll get the next car’s        as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside,        much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright        lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t        their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as       , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his         changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then        at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his     .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver       him. He        over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave        and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,        others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window          a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鳴笛) and          their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire        of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Half the students sneered. The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this semester.” I was so humiliated(羞辱) that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri’s Weekly newspaper. To my astonishment, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed it to my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted success. I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby.
A month later Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and Braille and sold worldwide. I appeared on TV talk shows. I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours. My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada.
People ask what college I attended, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I’m not gifted and I don’t write right. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right but I’ve beaten the odds. Writing is easy, it’s fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.
小題1:Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said?
A．Because they didn’t like him
B．Because they wished he could be successful as a writer
C．Because their teacher laughed, too
D．Because they felt it impossible for him to succeed
小題2:When the writer graduated from high school, ___________.
A．he had become a famous writer
B．he had made progress in his studies.
C．his classmates and teachers changed their attitudes towards him
D．he decided he wouldn’t become a writer
小題3:What prevented him telling others about his writing?
A．The characters in his story. B．His teacher.
C．His early experience.D．His parents.

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not        enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time,        whatever it is that we work so hard doing, it seems that there is        someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is        to me that every musician has a       of their own. My father         several instruments and when he played with others, it was not difficult to          his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own        sound.
I       read of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, "       else can make the sound that you make." The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's but who is to say which is     . It is said that, "       is in the eye of the beholder, perhaps it could be said that a delightful sound is in the ear of the         ".
Every person has a different tone of voice that        only to them,        we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of        that is unique to them. It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all. It        be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps.
Each person has a（an）       on the world in some way. Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it        the same way that you do it. The next time you feel       , remember "Nobody else can make the sound that you make. "

The dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the stones. He thought back more than twenty years to when he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy.
The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory traveled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because of debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.
That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him.
When his prison time was up, he found a job, but couldn’t settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?
He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with:
I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me ... so it’s up to you. I’ll come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If it’s there, I’ll come in; if not, I’ll wave good-bye and go.
And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked.
His parents were taking no risks. ________________________________________
The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door.
小題1:Why did the man shrug impatiently (paragraph 2) while he was thinking of his childhood?

小題2:Why did it take him hours to write the letter?

C．a(chǎn), c, b, d, f, a D．a(chǎn), d, b, c, e, f
小題4:Which of the following best fits into paragraph 8?
A．Every inch of the house was covered in white. Sheets, pillowcases and table clothes had been placed on every window and door, making it look like a snow house.
