There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a    36  . The owner,   37   he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs available, so he kept   38   the man’s request.
This situation continued    39   for a few months, until the owner    40    to give the homeless man a job which    41  sweeping outside the shop. Every single day from 5 am, the homeless man was there doing the very    42  he could for the    43  , even though it did earn him some pennies.    44   , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working    45  a cashier. He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t    46  any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an    47  job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to    48   the finances for the whole shop.
To my    49  , this was the arrangement up until 2 years ago, when the owner     50   . In his will, he only had one    51   , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as   52  , with his own business that is still   53   and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.
From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your    54   situation, it very well may turn out to    55  some day in the future.

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年), was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(鄉(xiāng)村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft(草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.
小題1:What can we learn from the text?
A.“The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B.People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C.Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D.Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
小題2:What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?
A.Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.
B.Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.
C.Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.
D.Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.
小題3:Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A.One of Tolkien’s students.B.Stanley Unwin’s son.
C.Allen & Unwin.D.Bilbo Baggins.
小題4:What is mainly discussed in the text?
A.“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B.A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C.A famous professor at Oxford University.
D.The power of the magic ring.
小題5:Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?
a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.
b. He became a member of the Inklings.
c. He served in World WarⅠ
d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
e. His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

Coin confusion
Rachel looked through troubled eyes at his sister and said, “1 wouldn't have thought Eric would be a thief. His sister Sarah replied, “Whoa, that's a   accusation to make against your best friend!”
Rachel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Eric to   .At the end of that day, Rachel's mother had asked him to do her a favor,so he had asked his friend,“1s it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?" Eric had said, "Go ahead. I'll clean up here,"      at the piles of coins on the floor.
When Rachel had returned, it never occurred to him to   his coins until two days later that he realized some quarters were     .
Sarah said, “Why don't you just ask him?”
“Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you     my coin collection?” Rachel thought for a moment,    if that would be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of    .“How could I have misjudged my friend's    ?"
The next day Rachel went over to  Eric's house. Eric was acting funny sort of nervous, like he couldn't be   . In fact, Rachel thought Eric acted like someone with a secret. Anger blossomed (產(chǎn)生)as  Rachel watched Eric pretend to be kind,     Eric had obviously stolen from him. Rachel finally could not stand it anymore and stood up. Suddenly, Eric   ,“I can't stand it anymore!” Rachel was astonished at hearing his own      burst forth from his friend! Only, instead of sounding     , Eric sounded excited. He pulled something from underneath the chair.
"Go to open it! I was going to wait until your birthday, but I can't wait1” Slowly, Rachel lifted the top of the     . Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own    in a new collection case.  Each quarter shone like it was new.
Rachel felt     rush over his neck and ears. He   said, “Thank you this means...a great deal to me.” He was grateful that Eric had cut him     before he said something he would     . Eric was exactly the type of person he wanted as a friend !

It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating — a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
As I was cleaning my office,  I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband — a prisoner in a nearby prison — was my next patient. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasn’t full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.
A short time later, her husband arrived — with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The woman’s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.
I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. I’m not sure who experienced the most joy — the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.
小題1:What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A.The writer was a newcomer to her office.
B.A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present.
C.She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.
D.She was at work with a light heart.
小題2:The young woman came to the writer’s office for the purpose of         .
A.having her baby examined
B.giving her husband a chance to make his escape
C.having her husband examined
D.getting a chance for her family to get together

A.to be sent to hospitalB.to be separated from his family
C.to be comfortableD.to become a prisoner
小題4:What does the writer learn from the story?
A.The wife experienced the most joy in receiving

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought   11 . My complaints, even self-justified(自有道理)  12 , were always landing on   13  ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end up with their   14  into tears. I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to   15  my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain  16 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was   17  to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”  18  arriving back, the children were   19  excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy   20  
for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   21  asking them to play a certain violin  22 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   23 
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little   24 : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   25  of well-done jobs the day   26 .
  27  I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its (貼條). The bathroom mirror became the   28  centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be   29 .
We all benefited from and  30  the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, reduced towaist-high ruins, smelly and dirty.
Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill,she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?”she asked I said I was, “No charge.”She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.
As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage (抵押貸款〉on our mined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we*d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kemmedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State, the online magazine  and wanted to give us (""no conditions attached’)a new house across thelake from New Orleans.
It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plan to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me, while he went to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.
小題1:The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of          
A.unconcernB.sympathy
C.doubtD.tolerance
