When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤兒院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects. I remember my first project—a small table. I was so       of it that I looked upon it       I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to         it. I could       wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always       with us.
As the tables were not       from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.       I was just so excited and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a flash carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was       it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand       it, she noticed it was still wet.
“Were you       to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am,” I       with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was       stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off. I hid the table in my closet and never       it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent (宿管員), thinking that she would       it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I       that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her       to get something important. I followed her       into a dark corner. She picked something up.       she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of       to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to      .

An Invisible Smile
Mr. Dawson was an old grouch, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple. Old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man.
Amy said not to worry. Mr. Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皺眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, "Hello Miss Amy. I see you've got a little friend with you today."
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Mr. Dawson said that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Mr. Dawson had the best apples in the whole town.
When they left, Janet asked Amy, "Everyone says he's the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?"
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.
After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a "hello" at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
"An invisible smile?" questioned Janet.
"Yes," answered Amy, "my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn't afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says smiles are contagious."
If we remember what Amy's grandma said, that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that We're always on the go trying to accomplish so much, aren't we? It's so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time, let's make sure that we're not the one that others have to pretend to be wearing an invisible smile.
小題1:Kids were scared of Mr. Dawson because _____.
A．he was wearing an invisible smile
B．he would fire them with a gun
C．he was mean with his apples
D．he was always very cold
小題2:We can infer from the passage that_____.
A．Janet was so lovely a girl that Mr. Dawson couldn't resist her smiles
B．Janet and Amy were going to invite Mr. Dawson to listen to music and play games
C．Mr. Dawson was friendly to Amy because she always wore an invisible smile
D．it was Grandma's advice that helped bring Amy and Mr. Dawson closer
小題3:The underlined word "contagious" in Paragraph 9 means _____.
A．infectiousB．supportiveC．movingD．meaningful
小題4:What is the main message that the writer intends to send us readers?
A．Always wear an invisible smile.

C．Try our best to transform others.
D．Pretend that we are happy even if we are not.

I was 14 when Mr. Ingram hired me as a farmhand. It was the first time I was actually      for work. One day Mr. Ingram found an old truck that was      in the soft,sandy soil of our field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to      from our farm before his truck got caught in the mud.
Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be       soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn’t long       a local guy with a terrible reputation for fighting and stealing showed up with his two fully-grown sons. They looked really       .
Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I see you want to       some watermelons from us.”
There was a long       before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you       for them?”
“Twenty-five cents each.”
“Well, I suppose that would be       enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man said.
It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an awful, perhaps violent incident had been      . After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your    , you’re going to run out of friends.”

Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden’s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.
The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree’s branches were drying up.
Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette（小胡瓜）, understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow... He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.
They should really learn how to live in harmony（和諧）with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, and help each other instead of fighting, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.
小題1:From the passage, we can learn____.

D．the gardener was satisfied with his work on the garden
小題2:The vegetables and the tree fought for____.

小題3:What drew the garden’s owner’s attention to the field again?
A．Some gardening contests.
B．The fight between plants.
C．The big and beautiful courgette.
D．The wonderful appearance in the garden.
小題4:What was out of the expectation of the tree and vegetables?
A．That the gardener stopped watering them.
B．That the courgette understood what was happening.
C．That they could live together.
D．That they could take part in the contest.

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three­month­old calf struggling in the fast-rising water，and it was a life­and­death struggle. Her calf was floating(漂浮) and screaming with fear.Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body.Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment，she fell back into the river. If she were carried down，it would be certain death. I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot (地點(diǎn)) where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring (吼叫) all the time，but to her calf it was music.

I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.
He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. “What are you doing?” I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know.
He then answered me with a simple statement“TEACH THE CHILDREN！”
I was puzzled; what did he mean?
Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR(杉木) TREE .“Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round，describing the everlasting hope of mankind，all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven.”
He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. “Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a savior(救世主) for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of his promise.”
He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. “Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of he who displaces(取代) the darkness.”
Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a BELL. “Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.”
Santa looked back and was pleased. I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said, “Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center, for I am but an humble servant of the one that is, and I bow down to worship HIM, our LORD, our GOD.”
小題1:Author opened the door when he was going to sleep because________.

Every year, I tell my sons what I'd like for Mother's Day: a letter. Something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly. I don't always get my wish, nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother.
This year, my boys will be in two different states on Mother's Day. My mom and dad will be away together, and I'11 be driving home from a writer's workshop in Massachusetts. Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children, I am deeply grateful that what separates us, for now at least, is merely distance. It won't always be so, and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is. My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail, and that is enough as I love their words. The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness, the very fact of their busy. full and well-lived lives.
Still, knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over, I do Feel doleful. The truth is, I miss being the center of the universe to two little boys. And this holiday can be a bit painful.
I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic ('VTIH WJ) for the passing of my childhood. I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been. I don't often pause to think about it. but of course she is the one who has been right there, at my side from the moment I drew my very first breath. How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and 1ove and example have shaped me into the adult I am? How to describe even a small part of the sharing. sacrificing. and support she has given me over the years?

A．her sons don't live far away from her home
B．her parents and children are still alive
C．her parents are coming to her house to spend Mother's Day
D．her sons can please her on Sunday with a phone call
小題3:According to the author ______
A．young people nowadays tend to ignore their parents
B．parents should not give their children too much freedom
C．children's happiness and success are the biggest comfort to parents
D．parents are not the center of their children's universe when children grow up

A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was         for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at the risk of joining the millions of Americans who have        their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely        —$7,000, a legacy(遺產(chǎn)) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty.” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to        unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were     by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in       , it was more than $100,000.
It        nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
