Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on show . "They are real silk," the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to   7  her to buy one. But Edith knew from past   8  that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance,  9  where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father   10  smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was   11  to please him.

When she got home, with her small but   12  present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at table. Her mother was in great   13  . "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so   14  that she could not  15  a single word.

3. 难度:中等

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(学问). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.

As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅)me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

1.The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.

A.after Mother died.

B.before she became a writer.

C.when she was a child.

D.when Mother gave it to her.

2.The passage shows that _____.

A.Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter.

B.Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done.

C.Mother cared much about her daughter in words.

D.Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.

3.The word gulf in the paragraph 2 means ______.

A.deep understanding between the old and the young.

B.different ideas between the mother and the daughter.

C.free talks between mother and daughter.

D.part of the sea going far in land.

4.What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?

A.She had never received the letter.

B.For years, she often talked about the letter.

C.She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.

D.She read the letter again and again till she died.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A.My Letter to Mother.

B.Mother and Children.

C.My Mother’s Desk.

D.Talks between Mother and Me.

4. 难度:困难

Success is everybody’s dream. But what is the key to success? How can you be successful? I think we should measure success based on how much we give rather than how much we receive. Fortunately, it also works nicely the other way around since those who give more almost always will also receive more. So how do you pave your way to success? How do you become more successful? The answer is amazingly simple: the key to success is making yourself as useful as possible to others. Here are some ideas on how to do it.

1. Be observant of needs

To be useful to others, you should always be aware of even the slightest clues of needs. The more sensitive you are to the needs of others, the more appreciative people will eventually become. The best plan is being able to anticipate a need before the other people are even aware of it.

2. Find solutions to the needs

Now that you are aware of needs, the next step is finding solutions to them. The solutions you offer should be as useful as possible. To be able to do so, there is no other way but to continuously build your own value. It is from the value you have that you could give value to others.

3. Be proactive to help

Do not wait for the other person to ask for your help. Be proactive. Give your help even before they ask.

4. _________________

What matters is not only the solution you offer, but also the way you deliver it. Being sincere means being glad to help others without expecting anything in return. Make it your joy to give something to others. People can somehow distinguish whether or not you are sincere.

5. Go the extra mile

Doing the above four steps is good, but add this one if you can: give more than expected. First, give what is expected, and then add a little more. If you do the above four steps people will be appreciative, but if you add this one step they will be impressed.

1. What is the measure of success according to the author?

A.Success means giving more as well as asking for more.

B.Success is based on how much money you make.

C.The more you receive from others, the more successful you will be.

D.The more you give, the more successful you will be.

2.The underlined word anticipate in para 2 probably means_______

A.offer

B.expect

C.prevent

D.change

3.What’s the best title for the fifth paragraph?

A.Solutions Are Important.

B.Give More Help to Others

C.Expecting More

D.Be Sincere

4.The author would NOT agree that______

A.people should continuously build up their own value.

B.the best time to help others is when they ask for help.

C.people should help others without expecting anything in return.

D.it is good to give others more help than what is expected.

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How to measure success accurately.

B.How to make your dreams come true.

C.Giving is more important than receiving.

D.How a person can be most useful to others.

5. 难度:中等

People hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people don’t like the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, commitment(承担的义务),self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most obvious features.

Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word “fun” to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting true happiness is one of the most liberating realizations because true happiness has nothing to do with fun. It liberates(解放) time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actully may not be happy at all.

1.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because____

A.he is unwilling to take family responsibilities

B.he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single

C.he finds more fun in dating than in marriage

D.he fears it will put an end to all his fun, adventure and excitement

2. The underlined word bachelor means_________

A.a married man

B.a college student

C.a single man

D.an academic degree

3.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes results from______

A.hatred

B.misunderstanding

C.prejudice

D.ignorance

4.To understand what true happiness, one must________

A.have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime.

B.make every effort to liberate oneself from pain

C.put up with pain under all circumstances

D.be able to distinguish happiness from fun

5.What is the author trying to tell us?

A.Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.

B.One must know how to attain happiness.

C.It is important to make commitments.

D.It is pain that leads to happiness.

A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.

Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.

However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.

Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “ everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.

Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer——just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.

It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self- confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.

1. What is the passage mainly about ?

A.Peers have a good effect

B.Children give in to peer pressure

C.Peer pressure is hard to resist

D.Peer pressure

2. The underlined word shoplift in Paragraph Three probably means __________.

A.do some shopping

B.carry goods for shops

C.steal in shops

D.take the lift upstairs in shops

3.The writer will not agree that ____.

A.only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure.

B.peers have an effect on one another

C.Peer pressure can be got rid of

D.Peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them

4.The writer intends to _________ by writing the passage.

A.tell people to follow other’s opinions

B.warn people to stay away from their peers.

C.tell it is hard to walk away form per pressure.

D.persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure.

5.It can be learned from the passage that_________.

A.A peer is someone older than you.

B.Peers always affect you in good ways.

C.It is easy to get rid of peer pressure.

D.The effects of peer pressure have two sides.

One day, Zeng’s wife decided to go out for shopping, but her little son insisted on going with her to the market. Thinking that she would come back very soon, and that the naughty boy would bring her a lot oftrouble, she was unwilling to do so.

In order to persuade the boy to stay home, she told him, “Oh, come on, good boy, if you listen to Mom and then Mom will give you a present when I am back.”    

“What present are you going to give me, Mom?” asked the son.

“We haven’t eaten meat for a long time, so I will kill our pig and let you enjoy a big nice dinner.” The mother comforted the boy when it happened that their pig was wandering in front of the house. Just at that time, her husband came back and heard what she said. Thinking of the nice meal, the boy gave in.

Not very soon, the mother came back, but what she saw shocked her. It was her husband who had killed the only pig of the poor family.

“Why did you kill it? You know that it is very important for my family.” she scolded him.

“I did that just for your promise!” Mr. Zeng answered.
