On a Sunday morning, I was driving down a road and saw something I couldn’t believe. A little girl, less than two, was pushing her stroller (嬰兒車) across the road. It was Sunday morning and traffic was not heavy.
I stopped my car at once and ran toward her. This little girl knew enough to run from a stranger. I tried to catch her in order that I could get her out of the road.
Suddenly her father came running down a hill across the road from where I had parked my car. He ran right to her and caught her up, saying “bad girl” to her. I picked up the stroller and gave it to him. The father grabbed the stroller and walked toward where he came from without a word.
I went back and sat in my car for a few minutes with my son. My hands were shaking and tears were about to run out of my eyes. “Do you feel cold, Mom?” asked my son. I just shook my head.
After this happened, I thought about how thankful I am. Even though the father didn’t say thank you, I feel that I did something good. Doing something for someone else is pleasing, even when it’s only a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
I didn’t really “save” her, but I feel like it was important that I happened to be there. It is sad that I was the only one who stopped. It really made me a little disappointed that no one else stopped to help.

This parable(寓言)is told of a farmer who owned an old mule(騾子). The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying for whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing(評估)the situation, the farmer sympathized(同情)with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together , told them what had happened, and asked them to help pour dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out his misery.
At the beginning, the old mule was crazy! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shovelling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, he would shake it off and step up!
This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off and step up… shake it off and step up… shake it off and step up!” He repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or how distressing the situation seemed, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up!
It wasn’t long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly(勝利地)over the wall of that well! What seemed like it would bury him actually helped him… all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity(逆境).
That’s life! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity.
The adversities that come along to bury us usually have within them the very real potential to benefit us! Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that amateurs(生手)built the boat. Professionals built the Titanic.
小題1:Why did the farmer decide to bury the mule in the well?
A.Because he thought the mule was of little use.
B.Because he didn’t like the praying made by the mule.
C.Because he thought the well couldn’t be used any longer after the accident.
D.Because he didn’t want to see the mule suffer more in the well.
小題2:What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?
A.The mule became calmB.The mule became quiet.
C.The mule suddenly had an ideaD.The mule lost heart.
小題3:Who saved the mule at last?
A.The farmerB.The farmer’s neighbors
C.The farmer and his neighborsD.The mule himself
小題4:What lesson can we learn from the passage?
a. One should give up something of little use.
b. One should depend oneself when in trouble.
c. One should show mercy to others who are in trouble.
d. There must be something that one can do well no matter what he is.
e. Be self-determined and never give up, and one can succeed in the end.
A.a(chǎn), b, eB.b, d, eC.a(chǎn), c, eD.b, c, e

I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to       the problem. It certainly wasn’t       doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled       from behind me. A man got out and offered to         me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos(紋身)on his arm, I became        as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But       I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the       . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had        me. 
Then, without       , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I        agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much        when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my      , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you      with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he       at the church and tutored disadvantaged students. 
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed the tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he     it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they       . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my     . He said, ‘‘I experience that same        often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I        thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a       . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was    to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.       , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to     an Ivy League (常春藤聯(lián)盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention        his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so        teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞會). It was understood that we had       about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the       letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League     in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.
There was no         that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was      down south and I had offers      for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family      .
One week        the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a        to make--- one that went        beyond the choice of       to attend university.
In August, I      and drove north to Providence. It took several months to     that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the       I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about       it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

I will be the first to say that I am not materialistic. My friends regard me as a goody-goody; my parents say I am conservative and modest when it comes to clothes. None of my skirts or shorts end above my knees.
So why, why did I feel so invited? My family and I were in Target, and there it was, waiting. A skirt, specifically designed not to cover anything. It looked like something that one of those modern schoolgirls would wear.
I checked my purse. The skirt cost $10. I had the money. I could buy it. I imagined walking into school and my friends’ jaws (下巴) dropping. Guys would ask me out, and I would be happy. I could buy it, no, — I should buy it.
I showed my mother. She was surprised but said it was my decision. My sister looked on enviously.
I went into the dressing room to try it on. So sure was I that this skirt would change me, somehow make me not what I am but what I wished to be. I slid my jeans off and put it on. I looked in the mirror. There I was — a terrible girl in a Superman T-shirt and sneakers. My glasses fogged up as I started to cry.
The skirt did not change me. Though it fit well and might make me look good in the eyes of today’s world, it was not me. I am not a girl who wears cool clothes to fit in.
I took the thing off and slid back into the ­comfort of modesty. My mom knocked on the door. “Emily, are you okay?”
I wiped away my tears. “I’m fine.” I looked in the ­mirror again and saw a slim girl with funny ­glasses. I saw myself.
小題1:In the author’s eyes the skirt that interested her was ______.
A.not modernB.very short
C.too expensiveD.poorly designed
小題2:The author thought if she went to school in this skirt her schoolmates would be ______.
A.shockedB.hurtC.confusedD.happier
小題3:The underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph indicates the author ______.
A.hesitated about buying the skirt
B.made up her mind to buy the skirt
C.was able to afford to buy the skirt
D.worried about others’ opinion on the skirt
小題4:The author cried because ______.
A.she found that she looked ugly in the skirt
B.she was aware the skirt didn’t fit her well
C.she realized it’s a wrong decision to make a change
D.she was disappointed the skirt failed to change her
