Yesterday was my stepmother’s birthday. I haven’t been home for a long time, so I wanted to stop by the house to  36  her on this special day. I have been  37  
on a low income so I was afraid that I couldn’t afford the long  38 . Gas is so expensive nowadays!  39 , I filled my tank with gas and set off.  
I  40  at a shopping mall and found a present. It was the  41  gift and I knew she would love it.  42  when I got to the cashier, my card was 43  !
I didn’t have enough money to  44  the gift!
So I thought about the 45  for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something  46 , but I knew there was 47  else in the store she would have liked as much. So, I transferred some money from my saving account and was able to buy the gift. It took a  48  part of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
It turned out that she loved the gift and I  49  that even though I had spent almost all my money, my stepmother  50  the best. I was glad I gave her the best I could.
Before I  51  my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret handshake, he gave me some money. I hadn’t  52  anything to him about my financial  53  , but I guessed my dad just knew. When I got to the car, I saw the  54  he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift! It shows that doing the right thing always comes with great  55  .

Once upon a time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear the walls open .Japanese houses  36  have hollow(空的)spaces between the wooden walls. As he was  37  them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴)  38 there because a nail(釘子)from the outside had been hammered into one of its feet. Seeing this, he felt  39 for it, and at the same time was curious about it.

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius（天才） of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“ There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Edison invented the electric light.
B．Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
C．Edison has changed the life of many other people.
D．Few men in history can change other people’s life.
小題2:Edison thought ____________.
A．he could be happy if he was a genius
B．genius plays the most important part in one’s success
C．hard work could do better than genius
D．genius could do better than hard work
小題3:In Edison’s opinion, ____________.
A．thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help
B．people’s successs lies mostly in genius
C．hard work is the second important thing in making people successful
D．there are few secrets for him to discover later
小題4:The last sentence in the passage most probably implies(暗示） ____________.
A．life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings
B．Edison made 100 inventions in his life
C．Edison was able to live and work for 100 years
D．People of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ work

My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the   36  of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then    37  the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on   38  his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he   39  belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be   40  , I didn’t think much of it, but I had   41  to warn my neighbors of the drawings   42  appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the   43  to do so, because I was a little busy recently.

Despite being tall, Michelle Obama is much smaller than she appears on television． And she seemed a little short by her surroundings in the great hall of Christchurch College as she spoke quietly without a microphone because of a technical mistake． Her audience were 40 young girls from a London state school where 50 languages are spoken．
“I remember how well-meaning but misguided people questioned whether someone with my background could succeed at an elite （精英） university,” she said． “When I was accepted, I had all kinds of worries and doubts． I wouldn’t be as well prepared as students from privileged families and I wouldn’t fit in． But you are just as capable and have just as much to offer as anyone else．”
This was Mrs． Obama’s only solo outing during the state visit and part two of an unusual relationship which she has struck up with Anderson College in Islington． Two years ago on her first visit to the UK she visited the school．
Yesterday she returned to meet the pupils but this time at Christchurch College where they were taking part in an open day run to improve Oxford’s still poor record on diversifying student intake．
Mrs． Obama was asked why she married her husband, what it was like being First Lady and when there would be a female President in the White House． Her message—which she repeated time and again—was work hard, have self-belief, and don’t be afraid to fail． It was very un-British, but rather effective． Afterwards there were hugs for everyone and a photo with her．
And watching the group of multicultural young Britons surround her among the splendor of the college building one thought stood out． Had Mrs． Obama been born in Britain, she would almost certainly not have made it to Oxford as she did to Harvard． But now—thanks in part to her—some of these children just might．
小題1:According to the passage, Michelle Obama ____________．

小題4:What can we learn from the underlined sentence?

Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now，an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But,Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead?”
Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt——a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One:It’s best to be“thrown clear”of a serious accident.
Truth:Sorry,but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear”is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield(擋風(fēng)玻璃)or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are“thrown clear.”
Myth Number Two:Safety belts“trap”people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth:Sorry again,but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷)due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents,People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations,not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three:Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).
Truth:When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
小題1:Why did Elizabeth say to her father,“But Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?
A．He didn’t have his safety belt on.
B．He was running across the street.
C．He was driving at great speed
D．He didn’t take his medicine on time.
小題2:The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he____.
A．wasn’t feeling very well
B．wanted to take some exereise
C．hated to drive in the dark
D．didn’t want to be caught by the police
小題3:According to the text,to be “thrown clear”of a serious accident is very dangerous
because you_____.
A．may be knocked down by other cars
B．may get caught in the car door
C．may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D．may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car
小題4:Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe__.
A．they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
B．the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
C．they will be caught when help comes
D．cars catch fire easily
小題5:What is the advice given in the text?
A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.
B．Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
C．Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
D．Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.
