I had looked forward to this day for a long time．Finally I, Kirsty Sturart, would stand on the top of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe．Although I climbed often in my native Scotland, this was my first trip to the Alps．My companions—Jean Pierre Barton, Maurice Gautier, and Mary Sargent—and I left our camp early and planned to reach the top by late morning．
As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow．We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop．After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day．We started down the mountain in the thick snow．Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them．As he was returning to us, he started to fall．
His fall started an avalanche（雪崩） and it was falling towards us! I was swept away by the heavy snow. Jean-Pierre hurried down to me．“Are you OK?” he asked．
“I think I broke my leg,” I answered．
“I’d better radio for help!” he said．“Where are the others?” We couldn’t see Maurice or Mary anywhere．
Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away．It seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter． The helicopter couldn’t land on the mountainside, so they lowered two men, two dogs, and a stretcher（擔(dān)架）．One man ran to me, but I told him to search for the others．The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily in the snow．
Bernardo, the lead dog, found Mary’s scarf and led the rescuers to her．Maurice was nearby．The men gave us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter．Two men inside the helicopter pulled us up with the ropes．I went first on the stretcher．
Once we were safely inside, the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix．Our poor rescuers and their dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain．Later we would find these brave men and thank them for saving our lives．
小題1:What prevented the climbers from reaching the top?
A．The terrible weather．
B．The loss of the sunglasses．
C．The injury of the team members．
D．The unexpected height of the mountain．
小題2:How did the writer break his leg?
A．The road was covered with snow．
B．His companion knocked into him．
C．The heavy clouds blocked his view．
D．The avalanche caused a fall for him．
小題3:How did the writer feel while waiting for help?
A．Anxious．B．Crazy．C．Sorry．D．Annoyed．
小題4:What do we learn from the passage?
A．Mary was the leader of the team．
B．The team was upset about their failure．
C．It was several hours before the rescue team arrived ．
D．The writer was excited thinking of climbing Mount Blanc．

New York Time —A gunman killed eight people at a mall in Omaha this afternoon and then killed himself,  setting off panic among holiday shoppers,  the police said.
“The person who we believe to be the shooter has died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, ” Sgt. Teresa Negron of the Omaha Police Department said at televised news.  “We have been able to clear the mall, ” she said. “We don’t believe we have any other shooters. ” The police said that at least five other people had been injured in the shootings. 
She did not give the shooter’s identity. “We are still doing the investigation, ” Sergeant Negron said, adding that the city’s mayor, who was out of town, was on his way back to Omaha.
She said the police received a 911 call from someone inside the Westroads Mall on the west side of Omaha, and shots could be heard in the background. The first police officers arrived at the mall six minutes after the first call, she said, but by then the shootings were over.
It is reported that the gunman left a suicide note that was found at his home by relatives. A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity (匿名) said the note indicated that the gunman wanted to "go out in style".

  Ed Jocelyn and Andy McEwen might have appeared to be a bit mad---the two set off on their own “Long March” through the remotest regions of China on October 16. The idea was to take a year to retrace one of the epic movements of modern military history.
The two British men in their mid-30s were working as editors in Beijing when they decided to reexperience the tales of the original marches. “We hold these people in such respect,” McEwen says.
They plan to keep diaries but will not share the contents during the trip. “When we get to the end we’ll put our heads together and try and come up with a book,” Jocelyn said.
Their trip has had some auspicious beginning, they have already met two Long March veterans(老戰(zhàn)士) in less than a month of travel.
In this modern version, the pair are aided by high-tech equipment including a satellite phone, mini-computer, video camera and solar panels to recharge batteries. A mountain tent and portable stove will help them in the remoter stretches.
They plan to average 35-40 kilometers a day, and rest about every third day. Ed admitted that their trip would be very tough.
If they succeed, they will be the first foreigners to complete the entire Long March route since Otto Braun, the German military advisor who accompanied the Red Army on the Long March.
小題1: This text is mainly about          .
A．high-tech equipment helpful to the Long March
B．first foreigners to walk the Long March
C．British recall of the Long March spirit
D．British editors’ adventure original in China
小題2: The underlined word “auspicious” most probably means          .
A．friendlyB．favourableC．strangeD．surprising
小題3: Which of the following statements is NOT true about the two foreigners?
A．They will use anything modern on the way.
B．They will do some cooking by themselves.
C．They’re planning to have a book published one year later.
D．They will send off news about what happens day by day.

Chuck was thirteen when he came home from the hospital. He came home not because he was getting better but because he wanted to be with people he knew and loved when he died. I came by the house to visit him and his family several times a week during his treatment. On most of my visits, Chuck was very weak. But the last time I saw him alive, he was awake. “I have got something for you.” He pulled out a piece of crumpled (弄皺的) paper from under his pillow. “I want you to give this to my mom and dad after I die. You’ll know when it’s right, I guess, won’t you?”
“What is it?” I asked. “It’s a list of all the fun we had, and all the happy time when we laughed.” I almost gasped in great surprise.
“Like what?” I asked quietly, trying to regain my calmness.
“Like the time when Mom, Dad, Chrissie, Linda and me were dressed up as fruits and Dad was driving us to a costume party. Dad was a bunch of grapes and I was an apple, and the others were different things like bananas and pears.”
And a policewoman pulled Dad over for speeding. When the policewoman came up to the car, she looked and started laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up. And we all started laughing and she said, “Where are you all heading — a salad bar?” Dad said he was sorry to be speeding, but his kids were getting so ripe（成熟的） that they were starting to draw flies. And she laughed till she had to take off her dark glasses and wiped tears from her eyes.”
Chuck laughed and so did I. The list was full of laughing and fun. What a wonderful gift, I thought.
小題1:Why did Chuck go home from the hospital?
A．He had been cured by the doctors.
B．He got better and better.
C．He missed his friends and teachers.
D．He wanted to be with people who he knew and loved when he died.
小題2:What did Chuck write on the list?
A．What to do after his death. B．His thoughts about fear, anger and disappointment.
C．What to do before his death. D．All the happy time he had with his family.
小題3: Why did the policewoman laugh when she looked into the car?
A．Because she mistook the children for fruits.
B．Because she saw some flies around the children.
C．Because she was frightened.
D．Because the children were dressed in a funny way.
小題4: The underlined expression “pulled Dad over” probably here means “________”.
A．stopped DadB．punished Dad
C．put Dad into prisonD．knocked Dad down

What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others, and these may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
　  Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
　  Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school records, for instance, may not be very good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
小題1:In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part-time job is probably ________.
A．a(chǎn) good way to find out his weak points
B．one of the best ways of earning extra money
C．of great use for his work in the future
D．a(chǎn) waste of time he could have spent on study
小題2:If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he ________.
A．may do well in his future work
B．won’t be able to find a suitable job
C．may be a complete failure in the future
D．will regret not having worked harder at school
小題3: The whole passage centers around ________.
A．looking for a part-time job
B．developing one’s abilities at school
C．gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D．knowing yourself before trying to choose a career
