Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate．He is always in a good  36 and always has something  37 to say．
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the  38 how to look on the positive side of the situation．Seeing this style really made me  39 , so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t  40 ．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?"

"Yeah, right．It isn't that easy．" I protested．
"Yes it is, " Michael said．"Life is all about choices．You choose how you react  46 situations and how people will affect your mood．You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood．The bottom line is: It's your choice  47 you live life．"
Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious 48 , falling off 60 feet from a communications tower．After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive  49 , Michael recovered．When I asked him what had  50 his mind as the accident took place．
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied．"Then, as I  51 on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to  52 ．I chose to live．"
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also  53 his amazing attitude．

Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni （校友） who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives （檔案館） in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron （中隊） as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ （陣亡） next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”
小題1:What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?
A．A uniform of McKay.B．A footnote about McKay.
C．A book on McKay.D．A picture of McKay.
小題2:What did the students find out about McKay?
A．He trained pilots for some time.
B．He lived longer than other pilots.
C．He died in the Second World War.
D．He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
小題3:McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in      .
A．BelgiumB．GermanyC．CanadaD．England
小題4:We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay     .
A．preferred fight to his study
B．went to war before graduation
C．left a picture for Corey Everrett
D．set an example for his fellow students
小題5:What is the text mainly about?
A．The research into war history.
B．The finding of a forgotten hero.
C．The pilots of the two world wars.
D．The importance of military studies.

Honesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not , I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account ).I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself , instead of a second-class version of somebody else .”
Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:
In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.
At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.
It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit（儲蓄）into your PBA and will build strength.
小題1:The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “         ”.
小題2:Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?
A．Be your true self rather than follow others.
B．Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.
C．Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
D．Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.
小題3:What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story ？
A．honesty can be of great help.
B．A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
C．Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.
D．One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.
小題4:In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express              .
A．one must be brave to be honest
B．it’s difficult to be honest when others are not
C．one should be honest when making a deposit
D．honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future

When Jackie Robinson walked onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York, on April 15, 1947, he changed baseball forever. As the first African American to play in the Major League in modern times, many believe he changed the country forever.
Robinson was born in 1919. He lived in a time when rules controlled what African Americans could do. He was a top athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball. But playing for a major League team was off limits to Robinson because of his race.
Branch Rickey, president and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, signed (和……簽約) Robinson in 1947. He believed that Robinson not only had the skills, but the courage to face the challenge of becoming modern baseball’s first black player.

By breaking baseball’s color barrier (膚色障礙), Robinson opened the door for many to follow his footsteps, not only in baseball, but in other areas of life as well.

Britons stranded（擱淺）at sea or in flooded homes could find a real-life prince riding to their rescue. Prince William announced on Monday that he is to train to be a full-time pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force (SARF).
William, who is currently a Lieutenant（中尉）in the Army's Household Cavalry Regiment（皇家騎兵團(tuán)）, will transfer to the RAF and begin an 18-month training course in January 2009.
If successful, he will become a fully operational Search and Rescue pilot in 2010, flying Sea King helicopters at one of the six SARF units based in Britain.
"The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying," the prince, who spent two weeks with a SARF team while on work experience in 2005, said in a statement.
"Joining Search and Rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the Forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country's Emergency Services."
It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war.
The Search and Rescue teams' main duty is to recover RAF personnel but in peacetime they mainly respond to civilian emergencies, dealing with more than 1,000 calls a year.
The units deal with incidents ranging from helping those trapped by sudden major floods to rescuing people lost while out walking on hills.
William, who has spent the last year on secondment（借調(diào)）to the various branches of the military to prepare for his future role as head of the armed forces, received his RAF wings （飛行勛章）following a four-month stint（持續(xù)的工作）with the service earlier this year.
However, his time with the RAF was clouded when the Defense Ministry was forced to fend off criticism for allowing the prince to fly military helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to the family home of his girlfriend Kate Middleton.
小題1: Prince William wanted to be a full-time pilot because _____.
A．he liked flying
B．he would like to do something in the country’s Emergency Services
C．many Britons were in danger at sea waiting for rescue
D．he had much experience in flying
小題2:According to the passage, _____.
A．the Falklands war broke out in 2005
B．Prince William served in the Army’s Household Cavalry Regiment in 1982
C．Prince Andrew is serving in SARF now
D．William would finish his training course in June 2010
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A．the RAF is an army that rescues its soldiers during wartime
B．either Andrew or William is interested in flying
C．there are many floods happening in Britain
D．the prince saving the people in danger is no longer fairy tale
小題4:The author’s opinion on William’s joining RAF is ______.
A．enthusiasticB．doubtfulC．negativeD．pessimistic
小題5:What is the purpose of the author by mentioning what the prince had done before in the last paragraph?
A．The author wants to say that Prince William pays much attention to his family and friends
B．The author suggests that the Defense Ministry was criticized when William flew for his private business
C．William had a hard time when he went against his leaders
D．The author has the worry that Prince William is likely to get the Defense Ministry into trouble again.
