This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience.It happened about three years ago and it has had a 26 effect on me.I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 27 but whose actions gave a new 28 to the words — kind and generous.
I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early 29 , A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was 30 for change on a street corner.
A BMW car 31 on the other side of the street and an executive(主管)who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car.He was probably about 32 years old.He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie.He walked33across the street and over to the homeless man.Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 34 and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves(手套), beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks.Then he 35 them to the homeless man.The homeless man took them and stared with a/an 36 mouth.
As he drove off, I couldn’t 37 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 38 the pedal( 踏板)of that top-brand BMW car with a 39 foot! I stood there and the looks of 40 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.
Two men of about the same age 41 very different lives had met and the one who was42 in materials had offered 43 than his shoes.He had left this BMW car and 44 down from his high position.He lifted up the other man when he offered respect, 45 and real generosity.

For a small town, Mantattan, Kansas has some big surprises. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the bright?lit restaurant near the pool, And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty?five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan”, she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say,‘What do you suggest?’So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say,‘Not very.’I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value”.
Ellen may get tired sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn’t like it after all, she can become a psychiatrist(心理醫(yī)生)instead.
小題1:What does the underlined phrase “a veterinary surgeon” mean?

C.waitresses should be familiar with the food there.

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, Its first use was as a shade against the sun!

By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.

To help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable grocery bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable grocery bags sold by some supermarkets contain high levels of lead(鉛). Lead is a metal that can be harmful to humans, especially young children, Now, Senator Charles Schumer is asking the US government to investigate(調(diào)查) the use of lead in reusable shopping bags.
“When our families go to the grocery store looking for safe and healthy foods to feed their kids, the last thing they should have to worry about is poisonous bags.” Schumer said, “A quick investigation will allow everyone to make informed, timely decisions.”  Schumer added.
Lead in the bags is not likely to rub off (因摩擦而粘在……上面)on food. But over time, paint on the bags can chip and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be released(釋放).
The Tampa Tribune newspaper said certain bags sold at Publix and Winn-Dixie supermarkets had lead levels that were a concern to health officials. The affected bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Sough Carolina and Tennessee. Publix says that all of its bags are under current laws about lead content, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce the lead levels in the product.
The bags with the highest levels of lead had fancy designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without decoration were found to contain little lead. Consumers worried about lead levels in reusable bags can change to cloth or string bags. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be recycled(回收).
Since 2007, Publix supermarkets have sold more than 13 million reusable bags. The store says because shoppers have made the change to reusable bags, it has saved more than 1 billion paper and plastics bags.
小題1: The shopping bags containing high levels of lead ______.
A.have been reported by a newspaper
B.have been stopped by the government
C.have stopped people from using reusable bags
D.have caused serious health damage to customers
小題2:From Schumer’s words we can learn that ______.
A.reusable bags do little harm to kids’ health
B.people have shown much concern for the reusable bags
C.people will be informed of the facts about the reusable bags
D.people should refuse to buy things from supermarkets
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that Publix might believe that the bags they sold are ______.
A.dependableB.convenientC.harmfulD.popular
小題4:Customers are advised to choose bags ______.
A.with colorful designsB.with fancy pictures
C.made of plasticD.made of paper
小題5:From the last paragraph we know that the use of reusable bags has ______.
A.caused Publix a lot of troubleB.saved Publix much money
C.cost Publix plenty of moneyD.been proved a wrong decision

If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonnet and say, "Hey, Butterfly Man," his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.
Arthur Bonnet works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if you'd told him this was what he'd be doing someday, he would have laughed, "You're crazy." As a boy, he used to be a little tough guy on the streets". At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.
"I knew it had hurt my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again."
One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called E1 Segundo blue.
"I saw the sign 'Butterfly Habitat' and asked, 'How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?'" Bonner recalls. "Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大鏡) , "Look at the leaves. ' I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼蟲) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, 'Without the plant, there are no butterflies. '"
Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he's been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
The butterfly's population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonnet, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
For six years now Bonnet has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.
小題1:When he was young, Arthur Bonner
A.broke the law and ended up in prison

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed (展現(xiàn)) herself as she did nowhere else.
After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate(巨頭) Aristotie Onassis Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life .She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing(追求)a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined.

There is no other five-year –old like him. He has a potato-shaped head , thick eyebrows and a voice that is not easily forgotten. He is not evil, but trouble follows him wherever he goes.
Crayon Shinchan(蠟筆小新)enjoys great popularity in China. He has many fans in Hong Kong , Taiwan and on the mainland. And he is one of the hottest cartoon characters in his home country, Japan.
But, the trouble-maker’s show was ranked the No. 1 most unwanted cartoon program by Japan’s Parents’ Association on April 18.
More than half the parents who took part in the study thought Shinchan was a negative role model for children. They believed his actions and speech were adult in nature and not suitable for kids.
Many parents and education experts in China agree with them. Shinchan, they say, is really offensive. He looks out for pretty ladies on the street; at the bookstore he reads magazines full of sexy women; he pretends to be kidnapped by his teacher when he sees a police car; and he raises his mum’s skirt and shouts out the color of her underpants if she doesn’t buy him what he wants.
“Crayon Shimchan is full of dirty humor. The boy shows some terrible adult mentality(心態(tài)),which doesn’t match his age,” said Pang Lijuan, professor of the Education Department at Beijing Normal University. Pang further pointed out that Shinchan destroys the traditional image of a polite, hard-working boy. She fears that some teens may copy his behavior and harm their psychological development. Pang and many others in China think that Shinchan is a cartoon for adults-----not for children.
But some kids disagree. Jiangxin, a senior 2 student in Luhe Middle School in Beijing, became a fan of Shinchan after he first saw the cartoon two years ago. He said it is Shinchan’s humor , courage, and cleverness that makes him and his friends love the little cartoon character . “Shinchan looks at the adults’ world with kid’s eyes. He uncovers the hypocrisy(虛偽) and selfishness in a childish way,” explained Jiang. “We watch it just for fun.” But Jiang also admitted that Shinchan is not good for all ages. “It may not be suitable for primary school kids. They may try to blindly copy him.”
Shinchan’s “father ”, Japan’s popular cartoonist, Yoshito Ushi, never thought Shinchan would cause such a heated discussion. He argued that Shinchan is a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men. The boy does everything adults would like, but don’t dare to do. “People can easily forgive him because he’s only five years old,” said Yoshito.
小題1: Teachers and parents dislikes Crayon Shinchan because         .
A.he looks very ugly
B.he caused a heated discussion
C.the character was created by an adult cartoonist
D.he was regarded as a negative role model for children to follow
小題2:Many children are crazy about Shinchan mainly because       .
A.he looks very funny
B.the cartoon character is suitable for all ages
C.they think he is humorous, clever and brave
D.he is a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men
小題3:The underlined word “offensive” in Paragraph 5 probably means       .
A.humorousB.ugly-looking C.funnyD.unpleasant
小題4:What is Yoshito Ushi’s explanation of Shinchan’s behaviour?
A.Shinchan is such a naughty boy that he can’t behave himself.
B.Shinchan is trying to draw people’s attention by doing some offensive things.
C.Shinchan wants to set a role model in a different way.
D.Shinchan’ s behaviour is just a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men.

I’m Adam Gun from Istanbul, Turkey. I’m in a good school. And at the age of 15, in my first year of high school. I’m a great fan of tennis and cycling. I play tennis twice a week for two hours each time. Sometimes I want to play more, but I just keep playing for hours on end, never getting tired of doing it. This is one of the rare things I love in my life, in addition to cycling.
Like tennis, I find that I’m able to ride for ever and ever. Since Istanbul is made up of large and small hills, it’s a nice challenge to ride my bike every day. Although there aren’t many cycling places in Istanbul, I’m lucky enough to live near the biggest park. It’s downhill from my house to the park and I enjoy cycling up as much as floating down, because it’s challenging.
Now I have been thinking about being a lawyer and following my father’s footsteps, but I just don’t think I’m into it. I have heard people tell me over and over again: If you want to be happy with your life, you need to like and enjoy your job. Well, I’m not sure about the fact that I will enjoy being a lawyer when I grow up. I’m just not the type of person who sits down and studies for hours. So I just need opinions on whether to become a tennis player(hopefully), to become a cyclist(hopefully) or to become a lawyer.
小題1:We can know that Adam Gun is satisfied with ______.
A.his friendsB.his choice to be a lawyerC.his schoolD.his favorite tennis star
小題2:According to the passage, Adam Gun believes that cycling in Istanbul______.
A.need skillsB.needs good preparationC.is easy but boringD.is difficult but challenging
小題3:What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A.I’m able to do it.B.I hate to do it.C.I’m confident about it.D.I’m interested in it.
小題4:What’s Adam Gun’s problem?
A.He isn’t certain about his future career.
B.He has no enough time to practise tennis.
C.His dad disagrees with his career choice.
D.He can’t concentrate on his study for hours.
