When I heard of Al’s death, I reacted with the same disdain（蔑視）the world shows for one who ends his life with nothing   41 _ left. “What a complete failure!” I thought. “What a totally   42__  life!”

I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free   45  of the love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come   46  somewhere.
I hadn’t heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to   47  an alcoholic. One day I get up my   48  to ask him. “I’m really puzzled by something,” I said. “I know your father was basically the only one to   49  you.   50  on earth did he do that you became such a special person?

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interest. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $250！He was very happy about his purchase (buying) and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
小題1:The word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means        .
A．differentB．strangeC．secretD．one’s own
小題2:According to the passage, most people are          from Monday until Friday.
A．free to relax and enjoy themselvesB．busy working or studying
C．free to take part in sports gamesD．busy watching TV and going to the cinema
小題3:Something that one enjoys doing in one’s spare time is a          .

小題4:In the writer’s opinion,             .
A．a(chǎn)ll hobbies are very expensiveB．some hobbies don’t cost anything
C．hobbies are worthless D．hobbies are valuable to everybody

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰島素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(論壇) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."
Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity（慈善機(jī)構(gòu)）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."
小題1:Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?
A．He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B．He studies the leading cause of diabetes
C．He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D．He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
小題2: Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for _________.
A．diabetics to communicateB．volunteers to find jobs
C．children to amuse themselvesD．rock stars to share resources.
小題3:According to the text, Kody ______.
A．feel lonely because of his illnessB．benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C．helps create the online kid’s forumsD．writes children’s stories online
小題4:What can we learn about Fight It?
A．It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
B．It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C．It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
D．It owns a well-known medical website.
小題5:The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ______.
A．works full-time in a diabetes charityB．employs 22 people for his website
C．helps diabetics in his own wayD．ties to find a cure for diabetes

On November18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio（小兒麻痹癥）as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）now.
That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break---it broke with a loud noise.
People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”
But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra（管弦樂隊(duì)）began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power.
Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing（重新作曲）the piece in his head.
When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done.
He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.”
His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
小題1:Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ______.
A．he is just a world famous violinist
B．he has never performed on stage before
C．he is physically disabled as a result of a disease
D．he has difficulty in moving his body
小題2:When Perlman had just begun playing, ______.
A．there was something wrong with the violin
B．he fell ill suddenly
C．a(chǎn)n accident happened and caused a disturbance
D．a(chǎn) very loud noise arose from the audience
小題3: If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do?
A．He would cancel the concert.B．He would play another violin.
C．Another performer would play instead.D．The concert would be put off.
小題4:The audience rose and cheered ______.
A．to show they are satisfied with Perlman’s performance
B．to thank the orchestra for their passionate performance
C．to ask Perlman for another performance
D．to express their appreciation of Perlman’s creative mind
小題5: The lesson we draw from the story is that ______.
A．we should make the best of what we have
B．what we have is more important than what is lost
C．we should not care about what is lost
D．the way of life is to always live with music
