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(píng)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

On a freezing-cold February morning in Indiana, Jhaqueil Reagan,18, left home to walk to a job interview—ten miles away, over snow-covered roads.
Reagan had been looking for work for months. His mother had died two years earlier, and he was the only caretaker of his younger brother, Cole, 16, and sister, Jazzlyn, seven. He was desperate for a regular salary after cutting lawns(草坪) and doing other temporaryjobs.
Three hours into his hard trip, Reagan had covered only three miles. He paused outside a Cajun restaurant called Papa Roux to ask for directions from owner Art Bouvier, who was clearing ice and snow from the parking lot. “I told him to get on the bus,” says Bouvier. “He thanked me and went on his way.”
Fifteen minutes later, Bouvier pulled up in his car beside Reagan as he walked along. “You’ve really got to be on the bus,” he told Reagan. “I don’t have money for the bus,” Reagan replied. Bouvier offered him a lift. On the way, he asked the boy about his job search.
“I thought, This is the kind of kid I want working for me,” says Bouvier. He got the teen’s phone number and dropped him off for his interview.
Later that day, Bouvier wrote about Reagan on Facebook. “He doesn’t know it yet, but he starts on Monday,” Bouvier wrote. “It’s been a while since I’ve met someone so young with a work ethic(倫理) like that!” A few hours later, Bouvier called to offer Reagan a job. Shocked, the teen accepted on the spot. A television reporter caught wind of the story and interviewed the pair on camera that night.
Today, Reagan is washing dishes, filling orders, and greeting Papa Roux customers for $8.50 an hour. The publicity(宣傳) has brought in so many new customers that Bouvier plans to open a second restaurant by the end of the year.
小題1:Why did Jhaqueil Reagan have to find a job ?
A.Because he had to make enough money to support his family.
B.Because his parents had died two years earlier.
C.Because he wanted to change his job.
D.Because he was desperate for a good job.
小題2:Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined part in the sixth paragraph ?
A.reportedB.deliveredC.heardD.told
小題3:Which of the following words best describes Bouvier?
A.honestB.warm-heartedC.modestD.independent
小題4:What’s the best title of the passage ?
A.A Young Man Who Had an InterviewB.A Young Man Who Found a Job
C.A Boss Who Offered a JobD.A Boss Who Took a Chance

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____.
A.the gardener was very lazy
B.the tree and vegetables grew very well at first
C.the tree and vegetables got along well with each other at first
D.the gardener was satisfied with his work on the garden
小題2:The vegetables and the tree fought for____.
A.living spaceB.the gardener’s attention
C.a(chǎn)ttending the contestD.their own good
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.
小題5: How can one live in harmony with others according to the passage?

 Lifeguard, sportscaster, movie star, governor, president——there wasn’t much Ronald Reagan didn’t do in life.
“The world was a vast opportunity for him,” Lou Cannon wrote in his biography(傳記) of the former US president, who died on June 5,2004, aged 93.
Reagan’s final years saw him fight a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease(老年癡呆癥). But his positive attitude toward life has given hope to many people.
Born in 1911 to a poor family in a small town in Illinois, his father was a failed salesman who drank too much. It was in these difficult times, though, that Reagan developed the powerful optimism(樂(lè)觀) that would serve him so well. He always believed better times lying ahead, and this was reflected in his high school yearbook entry. “Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music,” he wrote.
As a teenager, Reagan spent summers working as a lifeguard at a local beach, saving 77 lives in seven years. He graduated from college in 1932 with a degree in economics and sociology. But America was still in the middle of the Great Depression, and jobs were hard to find. Reagan finally found work as a radio sports announcer and this road led him to Hollywood in 1937.
During the 20---year film career, he never became a leading star. As in his lifeguard days, Reagan loved to play the hero and only took the role of a bad guy once in more than 50 films.
A talented speaker who was always able to connect with his audience, Reagan became involved in politics in the 1950s. This popular touch led to him being elected the governor of California in 1967.
All the while Reagan was in California, he had his eye on the White House. In 1980, aged 69, he became the oldest man ever elected president.
He held office from 1981 to 1989, the first president to serve two complete terms after World War Ⅱ. When he left, aged 77, he held the highest popularity rate of any retiring president in US history.
He remained positive even when he discovered he had an illness that would destroy him. “I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal(永恒的optimism(樂(lè)觀) for its future,”he wrote.
小題1:Reagan can be best described as a man with ______.
A.firmnessB.humourC.optimismD.talent
小題2:What didn’t Reagan do in his life time?
A.Playing the role of a bad guy.
B.Being a leading star of the film.
C.Saving people’s lives.
D.Working as a radio sports announcer.
小題3:Which is the correct order of events described in the passage?
a. Reagan fought a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease.
b. Reagan became an actor.
c. Reagan worked as a lifeguard.
d. Reagan graduated from college.
e. Reagan was elected the governor of California.
A.a(chǎn), c, d, e ,bB.e, c, d, b, a
C.b, a, c, d, eD.c, d, b, e, a
小題4:When the writer of Reagan’s biography says “The world was a vast opportunity for him,” he really means that _______.
A.Reagan achieved much in his whole life
B.Reagan could have done much better
C.Reagan did much for America and the world
D.Reagan was a very lucky man

One day, when I was in college, a dishonest-looking character approached me in the student union with a leather jacket he wanted to sell. It was a beauty: buttery smooth cowskin, with artfully sewed lines and long leather fringes (穗).
I can’t remember what the price was, but it was apparently too little for such a jacket. Even as I paid the money that day, I knew something wasn’t right. Surely, a couple of days later, the jacket’s real owner, a student about my age came to me as I was on my way to class.
“That’s my jacket,” he said, “and I want it back.”
“No way,” I answered. “I paid for it, and I have no idea if it’s yours. It’s mine.”
He didn’t challenge me, and I left, but the uneasiness(不安) I had about my new possession now had a visible face. A few days later, riding my bike across campus, I saw the real owner standing on the sidewalk. I rode over, took the jacket off, handed it to him said I was sorry, and rode off without another word. More than the weight of the jacket had been lifted from my shoulders.
We’re all human, which means that sometimes we do things we shouldn’t do or say things we shouldn’t say. Sometimes we realize too late that our actions have been hurtful to somebody else. When these hard times occur, the best response --- the only response, really --- is, “I’m sorry.”
Admitting a wrongdoing, as soon as possible and frankly, helps the other person begin to heal. But just as important, it cleans up our own soul and sets us free.
That is a small price to pay for a clear conscience.
小題1:The author bought the leather jacket from the man in the student union because ______   .
A.it was charged at a reasonable price
B.it was a very attractive jacket
C.he was in great need of clothing
D.he was happy to find such a bargain
小題2:The phrase “had a visible face” in the passage probably implies(暗含) “______  ”.
A.started to bother me badly
B.might be clearly expressed
C.began to give me away openly
D.could be instantly melting away
小題3:Giving the leather jacket back to the real owner, the author ______    .
A.offered his forgivenessB.felt very much relieved
C.rode away unwillinglyD.realized his wrongdoing
小題4:What is the author’s purpose of this writing?
A.To encourage the readers to admit errors honestly.
B.To show the readers the reality of his college life.
C.To give the readers a lesson on how to say sorry to others.
D.To tell the readers a story that once happened at college.
