     There was room for all of us, and the sleeping bags kept the night coldness away. We would listen to the
sound of the river, and hear the coyotes (土狼) howling along the hills not far away.
     Those were the cool summer nights of the mid-nineties in Southern Alberta, Canada, when the four
children were young and we would lie on the trampoline (蹦床) in the backyard late at night, for the sun would
not set till late in July and August. We would look at the stars up above and never grow tired of it. These were
the times when I would tell the stories of my own childhood and teach the kids life's lessons that have been
remembered to this day. I chuckle (輕聲地笑), as I recall the time when we heard a coyote not far away, and
then I started a story about a bear approaching the trampoline. The bear came close (in the story), and the kids
snuggled up to mom and me, until suddenly I'd let out a howl and grab all the kids and they would be
frightened and jump up and then all laugh, "Daddy, you scared us!"
     Now the children are in their mid and late teens, but they fondly remember the starry nights on that
trampoline. Recently my oldest daughter on her wedding day sang a song for her parents, entitled "I'll always
be your little girl". She wrote the music and words and yes indeed: it included a memory of those starry nights.
     I have learned as a parent that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children as they are growing up is
the time to tell them stories, or if telling stories is not that simple, perhaps read them a story. They can read
their own books, but telling or reading them a story will create a close relationship with pleasant memories
such as those late summer nights under the starry sky.
1. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. coyotes' effects on children
B. the relationship between children
C. the author's unforgettable experiences
D. the author's memories of starry nights
2. The underlined part "snuggled up" probably means _____.
A. lay down
B. got close
C. gave in
D. struggled forward
3. How do the children feel about their childhood?
A. Very enjoyable.
B. A bit regretful.
C. Rather busy.
D. Sort of dull.
4. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to express _____.
A. it is easy to tell stories to children
B. kids should read stories themselves
C. it is important to tell or read stories to kids
D. it's necessary to spend summer nights with kids

      Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meeting, funding cuts, and
many other administrative chores (雜務). I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday
morning, I would find my mind wandering, I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet
evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldn't sign
myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule.
     My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read
the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked
breakfast, read the paper. On the third day, … This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the
transition (過渡), that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them
soon enough. But something was missing. A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students were
going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my newfound
"happiness" and return to the students, just this once? One trip. That's all, my bags were packed and by
the door. The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense
of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week
with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly
full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work.
     Now, it seems, the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These
young people have reawakened my commitment (責任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to
learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed,
corruption and war, Most important, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping
to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. I've gone from running one
school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries!
1. What did the writer expect to do after he retired?
A. To stay away from busy schedules.
B. To write some great books.
C. To do some voluntary work
D. To plan for his future.
2. Why did the writer decide to go to Jamaica?
A. He missed his students in that country.
B. He couldn't refuse his colleague's favor.
C. He was concerned about the people there.
D. He was not satisfied with his retired life.
3. The underlined part "the tables have turned" (Paragraph 5) means that the writer _____.
A. improved the situation in his school
B. felt happy to work with students again
C. became a learner rather than a teacher
D. changed his attitude toward his retired life
4. What does the writer think of his retired life now?
A. Disappointing
B. Troublesome
C. Promising
D. Meaningful

     Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag
contained a book.
     This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical
treasure--a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan, "a woman who knew everybody in her
day," James Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
      Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British
soldiers burning Washington D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback
as "perfectly shaking with fear" during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for
the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English. The adventure of the lost book began
September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor to the Library
Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
     Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession "about five minutes" when Luxmoore
took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing
the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.
     Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck, "I've felt sick
since then," Luxmoore told reporters. According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to
the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward of 1,000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for its
history, and Luxmoore told reporters, "It's wonderful news. I'm on high".
1. This article mainly tells about the story of _____.
A. a lost diary
B. Deborah Logan
C. Cory Luxmoore
D. the Library Company
2. From the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by _____.
A. Tom Brennan
B. an unknown person
C. a Philadelphia magazine
D. the Library Company of Philadelphia
3. Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because ______.
A. it was written in Philadelphia
B. it tells stories about Philadelphia
C. people in the city are interested in old things
D. the British and the Americans once fought in Philadelphia
4. What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said "I'm on high"?
A. I'm rich
B. I'm famous
C. I'm excited
D. I'm lucky.
