Every year between February and April,when the southwest monsoon (季風(fēng))blows ,a fever seizes the Thais (泰國人).It is the kite flying in Thailand __1__a strong feeling of interest that is nothing  2   of feverish.
During the summer, in the moths of March and April ,the skies   3   cities ,towns and villages  throughout the Kingdom are   4      with kites of all descriptions --long-tailed dragons,twisting snakes ,beautiful butter-flies,or familiar cartoon characters wheeling and weaving in the waim air.
One afternoon ,a friend and long-time kite flier invited me to   5     him  at the Pramane Ground ."What's the attraction?"I asked as he flew a huge kite."Well ,you can feel  a bit of a   6    at first ."he replied,""a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and    7    up into the sky .But once you forget yourself ,you get caught up in the   8   of controlling something inthe air where you cannot follow.You're on the ground :the kite's in the air but it's you that are making it al    9    .Come on ,go fly a kite."
I took his advice in the   10   it was meant and ,holding the hand of my young daughter si that others woukd think I was only satisfying a child's   11    ,I bought a rainbow-colored snake .After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air   12    greater ease than I expected.It was only at my daughter 's crying ,"My go,my go "that I realized I'd been holding the string ,completely   13   what I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime.
Like many other    14    of popular culture ,the sport of kite flying in Thailand has been   15   down from generation to generation.Its origins(起源)are    16    probably in ancient China,although it seems likey that Thai kites are as old as the    17   itself.It was a craze    18    by everyone from the king down.
"It's a great tradition (傳統(tǒng)),that has the    19    of bringing generations togeter,"says my friend ,"What you see today at the King's Cup is the   20    as the people of the past would have seen more than two hundred years ago."

When Colonel Harland Sanders retired at the age of 65, he had little to show for himself, except an old Caddie roadster, a $105 monthly pension check ,and a recipe for chicken.
Knowing he couldn’t live on his pension, he took his chicken recipe in hand, got behind the wheel of his van (貨車),and set out to make his fortune. His first plan was to sell his chicken recipe to restaurant  owners, who would in turn give him a residual (酬金)for every piece of chicken they sold—5 cents per chicken. The first restaurateur he called on turned him down.
So did the second.
So did the third.
In fact, the first 1,008 sales calls Colonel Sanders made ended in rejection. Still, he continued to call on owners as he traveled across the USA, sleeping in his car to save money. Prospect number 1,009 gave him first “yes”.
After two years of making daily sales he had signed up a total of five restaurants. Still the Colonel pressed on , knowing that he had a great chicken recipe and that someday the idea would catch on .
Of course, you know how the story ends. The idea did catch on. By 1963 the Colonel had 600 restaurants across the country selling his secret recipe of Kentucky Fried Chicken (with ll herbs and spices ).
In 1964 he was bought out by future Kentucky governor John Brown.Even though the sale made him a multi-millionaire, he continued to represent and promote KFC until his death in 1990.
小題1:Which of the following statements about Colonel Sanders is wrong according to the passage? 
A.He received a pension of a little more than $100 every month after he retired.
B.He couldn’t live on his pension because he had a chicken recipe in hand.
C.He didn’t succeed in selling his recipe until he tried 1,009 times.
D.He lived a hard life when he stared the business.
小題2:The underlined phrase“catch on ”in Paragraph 6 probably means         .
A.be acceptedB.be graspedC.be popularD.be rejected
小題3:The sentence “Of course, you know how the story ends” means         .
A.you are sure to know the result of Colonel Sanders’ business
B.You are sure to know Colonel Sanders had finished his story
C.It is certain Colonel Sanders ended his business
D.It is certain Colonel Sanders knew how to end his story
小題4:Colonel Sanders’ story teaches us an important lesson:       
A.It’s never too late to make a change in your life .
B.The early bird catches the worm.
C.Live and learn. Life can teach you a lot of lessons.

“It was all his own idea, ” says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39. Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract” -a document(文件) stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children, plus all household chores(雜務(wù)). Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident.(He thought the experience would make a nice book.)
After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. “I was beaten down, completely humbled, ” admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press(also part of the bargain), stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”
Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Palo Alto’s Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids.
Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. “I had been around children so much,” she sighs(嘆氣), “I couldn’t talk to a grown-up.” She continued to run the household, however-until Bob signed the contract, whereupon she decided to relax and enjoy it.
Although Peters had consulted(咨詢) with his school’s home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria(食堂), his meals were sometimes a disaster. “I tried to slip the butter I’d forgotten under the eggs after they were frying, ” he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot—sometimes having Macdonald’s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.
As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. “I found an easier way-I shut the doors, ” he says. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. “I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean.”
Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely(日常地) sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat. The tentative(暫定的) title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day.
小題1:The couple signed the contract because _______.
A.Pat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herself
B.Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good rest
C.they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasks
D.Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book
小題2:It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to _______.
A.pay a certain amount of money
B.do all the housework for years
C.say sorry to his wife
D.a(chǎn)dmit publicly he was wrong about motherhood
小題3:What can we learn about Pat Peters?
A.She was hard-working and selfless.
B.She was pretty and kind-hearted.
C.She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.
D.She did not love Bob any longer.
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Bob managed to keep the kids’clothes clean.
B.Bob tried to cook good meals for his children.
C.Bob frequently took the kids out to eat because he was too busy at work.
D.Bob taught the kids to make their beds every day.
小題5:Which of the following can best end the news story?
A.“My experience of being a mother.”
B.“I’m proud of you all, my dear!”
C.“Wait till your mother gets home!”
D.“Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone.”
