In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts（a kind of cake） and coffee. The small shop,  1   on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their  2  .

    I  3  coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who’d point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the one two rows over.”

    Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of school children would burst   4  the  shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and   5  on. I didn’t   6 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.

    I came to know them pretty well. The girls would talk about school. The boys were more quiet, choosing not to   7   their secrets, but still, they’d wait every day in the store   8  their bus came.

       Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare （車(chē)費(fèi)） when a ticket went  9 — always repaid the next day．When ii snowed, the kids and I would wait  10  for a very late bus．They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay．At _ closing time I wouldn't  11  the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived．

       I  12  a lot of doughnuts on snowy days．I enjoyed my pals （伙伴）, but it never  13   to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock．I  14  it was true, and he introduced himself   15  the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team．

       "I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children．I  16  about them having to take two buses to get home．It  17   a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them．"

       I told him it wasn't a big  18 ．that I enjoyed the kids．

       "No, you don't understand．When they're with the doughnuts lady, I know they're  19  ．It is a big deal．And I'm grateful．"

       So I was the Doughnuts lady．I not only had received a   20  ．I had become a landmark．

Hi, I am Mike. I just went through my first year of college. The toughest part on me at fir

st was the general adjustment.1 went to a very small high school where my mom was a teacher and she did practically everything for me. But at the college I needed to know some basic life skills. such as balancing a check—book, laundry, and the things you have to be able to handle that I never thought of in the high school! It was really tough for me at first and I got badly homesick.

Once that first semester was over and I got used to the college life, I loved it—good facilities, helpful instructors. and a good library. The Students’ Union organizes various parties every week. I also go to cinemas and concerts, and often spend Saturday nights in pubs and clubs.

One thing I think is important is to get yourself active in things. I was on the dance team in college and met a ton of people that way ··· it was so much easier to make friends when you had a common ground.

It is an exciting start to the college football season. A team that many people never heard of defeated one of the best in the country. If you follow American sports, then you know we are talking about the Michigan-Appalachian State game, which took place on September 1st at Michigan Stadium, in front of more than 100,000 people.

Appalachian State University is in Boone, North Carolina. Its team often plays in a stadium that holds about 25,000 people. Also, Appalachian State plays in the Football Championship Subdivision. Michigan is in the newly named Football Bowl Subdivision, the top level of college football. So the Mountaineers of Appalachian State and the Wolverines of the University of Michigan normally do not even play each other.

But they decided to meet for the first time. Michigan agreed to pay Appalachian State 400,000 dollars, win or lose. Teams like Michigan need victories, even a victory over a lower division team, to get into big, nationally broadcast bowl games. These games are worth millions of dollars at the end of the season.

Fans expected an easy Michigan win. After all, in the preseason, sports experts had considered Michigan the fifth best college football team in the country. But Appalachian State is a two-time national champion at its own division level. Its players wanted to show they could play well against a nationally ranked team. And they did. The final score was Appalachian State thirty-four, Michigan thirty-two. The game quickly became known as one of the greatest upsets in college football history.

The win has brought national attention to Appalachian State. Local stores reported a huge increase in orders for college clothing and other items. And the university official head expects more students to seek admission next year. Last Saturday, at home, Appalachian State defeated another North Carolina school, Lenoir-Rhyne College, forty-eight to seven.

The Michigan-Appalachian State game ________.

  A. is a regular competition held in the US every year

  B. is a state competition held for the football championship

  C. is part of a national competition held on September 1st every year

  D. was an occasional football competition between two universities

Michigan wanted to play with Appalachian State because Michigan ________.

  A. needed money to support its development

  B. wanted to test the skills of Appalachian State

 C. was a new football team without experience

  D. needed victories to enter nationally broadcast bowl games

After the game, the Appalachian State University got _________.

  A. much economic support from the government

 B. much national assistance

  C. national recognition

 D. many applicants for admission

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   21  filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   22   that I decided to write an article about her.

I   23   Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She   24   and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday.

I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there   26  , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that   27   Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible.

Ms Profit,

Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   35   materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   36   your story soon.

Shocked, it took me a long time to   37  . Fear of rejection cost me ly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2011河南信陽(yáng)高中畢業(yè)班第二次調(diào)研考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型：閱讀理解

Dear editor,

    I am Paul , a senior English teacher in Linchuan No. 1 Middle School in Jiangxi Province , China. This letter is written to ask for your opinion.

    The other day, I met with a multiple - choice exercise. We teachers argued heatedly with each other over its answer. Unfortunately, neither side could convince the other. The sentence is to be attached at the end of the letter. There is no doubt that the reference answer C is correct. But I don’t  think it is the only answer. Personally, I do think A is also a reasonable choice in sense as well as in grammar, if the case is treated from another aspect.                                

    What puzzles me is why we should deal with so many multiple - choice exercises with not rigorous（嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)模〆nough reference keys. But being a teacher, it’s very important and necessary to make it clear to students which answer is correct, which is more appropriate, and which is the best one. Regrettably, Multiple - choice test, which is a bit old - fashioned in western countries, seems to be quite popular and covers a rather high percentage in all sorts of English tests in China, especially in NMET.

    Personally speaking, I don’t think multiple - choice test form making up more than 75 percent of the total scores in college entrance examination is a very good and effective testing method. Instead, more subjective testing forms depending on one’s own thinking and his ability to use the language like key words falling, question answering, paragraph or passage summarizing, English - Chinese or Chinese - English inter - translation, etc. should be applied to English proficiency tests. Through the test forms mentioned above, students’ ability to use the language will be better developed. Consequently, more advanced and outstanding English learners could be picked out. In fact, a test paper focusing on multiple - choice test influences, in a sense, students to form their own language thinking, which hinders（阻礙）the development of their language ability as well. Do you think so?

    I am looking forward to your authoritative opinion. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Liao
