     Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried
to    1     my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome     2     from one end of the city to

and    20   I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But
nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter no further.

     When Alexandra Holderman of Indiana was five years old, she saw a bay dressed in only a T-shirt,
diaper(尿布), and blanket in the middle of winter. Alexandra could tell that the baby was very cold. "He
had red, chapped(皸裂) skin and a runny nose," she remembers.
     That same year, Alexandra started Baby Bundles (包裹), a program to help mothers keep their
babies warm. She packed bundles of pajamas, blankets, diapers, bottles and bibs, and then delivered
them to centers for women who couldn't afford the items. Alexandra continues this program today.
     Where does Alexandra get the money for her program? The first year, family members helped a lot.
Many of them gave Alexandra money to buy supplies. Alexandra's mother, who has always encouraged
Alexandra to share her blessings with people who are less fortunate, taught her how to request donations
from stores.
     Alexandra felt shy speaking with stores' business managers at first. "But now it just comes naturally,"
she says, "and I have places that donate stuff every year." Alexandra has been doing Baby Bundles for
six years now. Each September she writes betters to stores asking for supplies and donations. Then she
makes follow-up phone calls. In October, she gathers all of the donations and goes shopping. One of the
biggest challenges is getting all of the supplies she needs while staying within a planned budget.    
Alexandra has had to give up her allowance and some time with friends, but she knows that what she's
doing helps. Sometimes she sees a baby wearing clothes like the ones she put in her bundles. And she
wonders if that baby was helped by her program. "I know that there are babies out there who are
warmer and healthier now," she says.
      Alexandra plans to continue Baby Bundles as long as she can and is currently trying to get a Web
site set up. She hopes that her work will inspire other young people to find ways to serve their
communities. Alexandra has made sure that many babies in Indiana remain cozy during the winter
months.    
1. The following things except ________ may be included in Alexandra's Baby Bundles.

A. baby clothes      
B. diapers      
C. baby caps      
D. money

2. What do you think mainly helps her program to continue?

A. Her family's money to buy supplies.
B. Her mother's encouragement.
C. Supplies and donations from stores.
D. Support from the local government.

3. What does the underlined word "allowance" mean?

A. pocket money    
B. permission      
C. salary      
D. spare time

4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. She finds it challenging to get all of the supplies she needs with limited money.
B. Now, Alexandra is only 11years old.
C.The main purpose of her work is to inspire other young people to serve their communities.
D. Now many babies in Indiana are warmer and healthier during the winter months.

     One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in
Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the
night.
     "Could you possibly give us a room here?" the husband asked.
     The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town. "All of our rooms are taken", the clerk said. "But I can't send a nice couple like you
out into the rain at one o'clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night."
     When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. "Don't worry about me. I'll make out just fine,"
the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.
     As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, "You are the kind of manager
who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe some day I'll build one for you." The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly
couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and
helpful isn't easy.
     Two years passed, the clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old
man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
     The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of the Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He
then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone one, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky. "That," said the older man, "is the hotel I have just built for you to manage." "You must be
joking," the young man said. "I can assure you I am not," said the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth.
     The older man's name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C. Boldt. This young
clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world's
most glamorous hotels.
1. Which of the statements about the story is NOT true?
A. The story took place at about one a.m.
B. The old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.
C. The clerk was willing to help those in need.
D. The clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.
2. The underlined word "conventions" in Para. 3 can be replaced by ___________?
A. rooms        
B. buildings          
C. meetings        
D. hotels
3. Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?
A. Every little thing helps.  
B. Make hay while the sun shines.
C. Man proposes, God disposes.  
D. One good turn deserves another

     In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a
drip (點(diǎn)滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (禿的) head, she wore a pink hat that
matched her clothes. But the third grader's cheery dressing didn't mask her pain and weary eyes.
     Then a visitor showed up. "Do you want to write a song?" asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart
equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. "Have you ever
written a poem?" Anita Kruse continued. "Well, yes," Simran said.
      Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. "Some bird soaring through the
sky," she said softly. "Imagination in its head…" Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鳴, 唱)
birds, and finally the girl's voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
      That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more
than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the
hospital,  Kruse said that the idea of how she could help "came in one flash".
     The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷縮) in pain in her wheelchair, stood
unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who
rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
     "My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses," says Anita Kruse.
"But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families."
     Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to
her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the "really sweet and nice and loving" lady
who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.

1. Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.

A. most of her hair had fallen out
B. she was receiving treatment for cancer
C. she felt depressed and quit from school
D. she was suffering from a pain in her back

2.What do we know about Anita Kruse's project?

A. It helps young patients record songs.
B. It is supported by singers and patients.
C. It aims to replace the medical treatment.
D. It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.

3.What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?

A. Most children are naturally fond of music.
B. He was brave enough to put up performance.
C. The project has positive effect on young patients.
D. Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.

4.  What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Purple Songs Can Fly                
B. Singing Can Improve Health
C. A Shining Moment in Life             
D. A Kind Woman-Anita Kruse

      The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The
elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for
safety.That didn't stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride
an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant
roundup--how to catch wild elephants.
     Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
     But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun."My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has
been doing for many years.Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal
hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
     The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will
spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant."Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans." she said, as she
climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!
1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to ________.
A. get long lasting excitement
B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle
D. make the angry elephants tame
2. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,________.
A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers
3. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because ________.
A. they are caught and sent for heavy work
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them
4. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ________.

     Last year my wife and I spent a most interesting month in Turkey. Before we left, we were reminded of
the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places
in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (鋪設(shè)). We drove for 12 days along the
Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers to be very polite and well
educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult, so we picnicked almost every
day.
     The following day after our arrival was Turkey's Children's Day, started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Ataturk loved children and he often said:"Children are a new beginning of tomorrow." He even dedicated (奉
獻(xiàn)) the day 23rd of April to the children which today is celebrated as Children's Day as well as the date when
the Republic of Turkey was founded.
     On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be
