（2010?江蘇模擬）
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today：Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger pay-check…
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to existinstead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, and something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
小題1: It can be inferred from the passage that_____.
A．the author is a success in personal life
B．the author didn’t try her best to work well
C．the author spent all her time caring for her children
D．the author likes traveling very much
小題2:How did the author form her view of life?
A．Through social experience.B．By learning from her friends
C．Through an unfortunate experienceD．From her children and husband.

A．make a living rather than live a real life
B．work rather than enjoy life
C．waste a lot in life
D．forget the most important lessons in life
小題4: What’s the author’s attitude towards work?
A．Do it well to serve others.
B．Earn enough money to make life better.
C．Try your best to get higher position and pay.
D．Don’t let it affect your real life.

小題1:A 推理判斷題。根據全文尤其是第二段可知，作者在個人生活方面是一個成功者。B、C兩項所述與原文不符；作者熱愛生活這一旅程，并非指普通意義上的旅程，故D項錯。
小題1:C 細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第五段I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me…可知。
小題1:A 句意理解題。本句意為：生存容易，過真正的生活并不容易。在作者看來，人們往往只顧謀生而活著，并非過著真正的生活。
小題1: D 細節(jié)推斷題。根據第一段I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent（我從不讓工作影響自己做一個好母親）.可知。

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be   36  Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d   37 ?” Just when I started to   38  that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women   39  at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll, I felt such a sense of   40  that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t   41 . Somebody had thought   42  of me to bring me a gift. 
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my   43    Christmas there special and memorable, I   44  remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of   45  for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I   46  a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤兒) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school suppliers,   47  with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were   48 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I   49  them that they couldn’t open their presents   50  every child had come forward. Finally the   51  they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles   52  up the room. The   53  in the room was obvious, and   54    wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew   55  that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

It was about midday. I’d left work early in the morning to cash a cheque. I walked along to the bank, and found that there weren’t too many people about ten or eleven customers in there, which was pretty unusual for those central city banks.
I waited until it was my turn and just went up to the desk and started to talk to the bank clerk. He had a really strange expression on his face -- just sort of blank stare at least I thought he was looking at me and then I realized he was staring over my shoulder.
I began to turn round to see what he was looking at. At the same moment the outside bank guard came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor and following him through the door were three frightening masked men. They were carrying guns; at least I think the one in front was carrying a gun. Whether or not they said anything at that point I can’t remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I’ve just no idea.
For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing and I remember thinking and wondering who was on the other end of the telephone. Nobody went to answer the telephone, so this thing just kept on ringing and ringing. Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and the bank clerks to start filling the bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door who was covering us with the gun was a bit frightened. He started swearing at them, and telling them to hurry up, to get a move on. They jumped back over the counter. One of them slipped as he landed on the floor and fell over and the other two swore at him again. They left through the door. Warning us, “Don’t move, stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.” And then they just disappeared. Again back to total silence. People put their hands down, I put my hands down but I just stayed exactly where I was.
小題1:What does the writer mean by saying “…a pretty unusual number for those central banks” in the first paragraph?
A．More customers than usual were staying in the bank.
B．Less bank clerks than expected were in the bank.
C．There were often more than a dozen customers in the bank.
D．More banks should be open to serve customers in the city center.
小題2: The bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because ________.
A．he was feeling upset at that moment
B．he felt puzzled and sensed something terrible
C．he was required to keep silence
D．he was threatened with a gun by robbers
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The customers didn’t wait in line but jumped the queue because of the confusion.
B．All the people in the bank except the writer put their hands up automatically.
C．Nobody answered the phone because all the clerks were busy with work.
D．the bank workers were forced to fill the robbers’ bags with cash.
小題4: What’s the best title of this passage?
A．A Street GangB．A Strange Bank
C．A Bank RobberyD．A Horrible Adventure

My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlyn, and I stopped at a Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry cake. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on sides of his head with a set of blue spiked（豎起的）hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔) was pierced （扎、穿）, and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.
Caitlyn, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager, I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.
I was wrong.
My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a polite “Thank you very much”.
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlyn for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother’s talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.
As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.
The only thing Caitlyn noticed about the teenager was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time to open the door. ”
I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercing and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.
In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.
小題1:What did the author think of the young man?
A．Polite. B．Uncommon.C．Frightening.D．Funny.
小題2: Caitlyn helped the young man because______ .
A．she was scaredB．she didn’t notice his look
C．she wanted to avoid himD．it would be difficult for him to open the door
小題3: The underlined sentence suggests that_______ .
A．the author was ashamed of herself
B．the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedom
C．a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughter
D．people should have more freedom to express themselves
小題4: The author intends to tell us that_______ .
A．we shouldn’t judge a person by his look
B．we should allow people more freedom to dress differently
C．we should be more helpful and tolerant(寬容的)to people
D．we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life

It is official: Jim Parsons is the new poster child for geekdom.
The actor, who recently won his first Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for his portrayal of Sheldon Cooper on the hit television show The Big Bang Theory, is the hotness right now.
Parsons is a big hit on the Web as a trending topic on Twitter and has a devoted fan base who spread their adoration via Facebook and fan sites.
Parsons is considered by many to be a central part of the sleeper success that has been The Big Bang Theory. The sitcom about two brilliant physicists and their group of friends started out slowly building buzz when it first appeared on CBS in 2007.
Since then, the show has grown into a big success for the network, even raking in fans abroad with its international distribution. In May, The New York Times reported that Warner Bros., which produces and distributes the show, had entered into “what is believed to be one of the most profitable TV deals ever” with TBS and local Fox stations.
Audiences just can’t seem to get enough of the character of Sheldon Cooper, who is as socially dysfunctional as he is bright. Admirers take to Facebook fan pages to post their favorite Sheldon quotes, including: “I’m not insane (crazy), my mother had me tested!” and “They were threatened by my intelligence and too stupid to know that’s why they hated me.”
Fans can visit Jim Parsons Online, and there is even a site, SheldonShirts.com, dedicated to the many shirts worn by the character, complete with links to where to buy them. Mary Waring created the site because of her husband’s interest in Sheldon Cooper’s shirts. And with his character’s nerdy character and addiction to all things “Star Trek,” Parsons is also a hit with  fan boys and fan girls.
小題1:The underlined phrase “raking in” means ___________.
A．earning the support of
B．making fun of
C．classifying
D．comforting
小題2:Where are you most likely to find this passage?
A．In a biography.
B．In a magazine.
C．In a talk-show program.
D．In a textbook.
小題3:What we can infer from the passage?
A．Parsons was dreaming about the success before the comedy.
B．Mary Waring was interested in Sheldon Cooper’s shirts so she set up a website.
C．Before The Big Bang Theory, Parsons was not very popular.
D．Sheldon Cooper is a character who is intelligent as well as sociable.
小題4:What is the suitable title of the passage?
A．The Big Bang Theory Catching our Eyes
B．Sheldon Cooper Adored by Vast Audiences
C．Jim Parsons: Hot on Web
D．“Star Trek” loved by boys and girls
