One night, his brother accompanied him into the  3  and went back to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell  4 , leaving him in the toilet for two hours. As the two brothers grew   5 , they had different opinions about many things and often  6 . His brother wanted to  7  from him to live his own life. Knowing this, he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do. 　
A similar misfortune happened to a girl. One night her   8 , who suffered from mental illness, 9  . So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to  10  a meal for her parents, but only to overturn the stove, resulting in a  11  , which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister, who was studying in another city, showed her  12  to help her, she made up her mind to be completely  13 . And she made it.
One day, the boy and the girl were both   14  to appear on a television interview program. They both were asked to  15  something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My brother's arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying hearts.

It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along   36  the song playing on the radio. I   37   at the intersection(交叉路口) and looked both ways. The road was   38 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came straight at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car  39 the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾馳) past my dead car  40  me by inches without even slowing down.
  41  I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips,   42  after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me   43 . With a red face and a(an)   44  smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.

That  51  , however, did teach me just how strong words  52  be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒罵) in my own life and to start using words uplifting and   53   instead. I slowly realized that language is a gift from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned   54  that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a   55  spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.

Isn’t it cool to surf (沖浪) in summer? You catch a wave and enjoy the ride. Surfing is not only our favorite sport, though. A group of penguins (企鵝) enjoy the sport as much as we do. And they show their excitement and skills in the new animated film —Surf`s Up, which came out on June 6, in the US.
Cody loves the sport. Cody’s idol (偶像) is Big Z, a great penguin surfing king. Cody doesn’t like his brother and his mother who are not supportive. He really wants to get away.

There Cody meets Lani, the island’s beautiful lifeguard, as well as his main rival (對(duì)手), the surfing champion Evans. The cocky Evans shows no respect for Big Z, which makes Cody angry. For this, he challenges Evans to a surfing match, only to suffer a terrible defeat.

I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a freezing cold wet day in the winter of 1975. I remember the right moment, hiding behind a fragile mud wall, peeking (窺視）into the alley (胡同）near the frozen stream. That was a long time ago ，but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I，ve learned, about how you can bury it, because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I，ve been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.
One day in summer, my friend, Rahim Khan called from Pakistan. He asked me to come to see him. Standing in the kitchen with the receiver to my ear, I knew it wasn’t just Rahim Khan on the line. It was my past of unatoned sins (未能彌補(bǔ)的罪行) After I hung up, I went for a walk along Spreckels Lane on the northern edge of Golden Gate Park. The early afternoon sun sparkled on the water where dozens of small boats sailed, driven by a gentle breeze. Then I glanced up and saw a pair of kites with long blue tails, soaring in the sky. They danced high above the trees on the west end of the park, over the windmill, floating side by side like a pair of eyes looking down on San Francisco, the city I now call home.
And suddenly Hassan5S voice whispered in my head: For you, a thousand times over. Hassan the hare-lipped kite runner. I sat on a park bench near a willow tree. I thought about something Rahim Khan said just before he hung up, almost as an after thought. There is a way to be good again. I looked up at those twin kites. I thought about Hassan. Thought about Baba. AU. Kabul. I thought of the life I had lived until the winter of 1975 came along and changed everything. And made me what I am today.
小題1:After 1975，the hero of the story spent his life_____.
A．with happinessB．with regret
C．in peaceD．in danger
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that_____.
A．Rahim Khan spoke ill of the hero
B．the hero had made up for his wrong-doings
C．San Francisco was the birthplace of the hero
D．something bad might have happened in the alley
小題3:The writer attracts the readers by using_____
a.an impressive opening b.a lively description of inner thoughts
c.concrete and vivid language   d.a detailed plot of the story
A．a(chǎn)bcB．bcdC．a(chǎn)cdD．a(chǎn)bd

when Frida Kahlo's painting were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as " a ribbon（絲帶） around a bomb". Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小兒麻癖) at the age of seven. Her spine（脊柱） became bent as she grew older . Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexico artist. Rivera's strong influence on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
小題1:What does the phrase “ a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?
A．a(chǎn) far better artistB．a(chǎn) far more gifted artist
C．a(chǎn) much stronger personD．a(chǎn) much more famous person
小題2:The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by        .
A．polioB．her bent spine
C．back injuriesD．the operations she had
小題3:Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the          .
A．1930sB．1940sC．1950sD．1970s
小題4:What is the author’s attitude toward Kahlo?
A．devotion.B．sympathyC．worry.D．encouragement.
