He was the head teacher of a school for boys at the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind man, because when I am young, he gave me presents, and set me on his knees, and told me stories. And the boys at his school were afraid of him. At school, when he walked into a room full of noise boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eye, that boy went red in the face, and looked down his shoes. If a boy brought to him careless work, my grandfather picked up a boy's book and threw it across the room, shouting，“Do it all again, and take it back in the morning！” If the boy was later, or if he forgot to take the work, he had to do it again.
I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too strict to depart from their routine. I can't count the times I called my sister and said,“How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. It looks like rain.”And my personal favorite response:“It's just Monday.”She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”,“I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.” When anyone calls my“seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord. My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy. Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list. 1.The example of the writer's sister serves as__________. A．an argument B．an introduction C．a support D．a conclusion 2.The writer thinks that the underlined excuse “It's just Monday.”is acceptable, because __________. A．it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later B．it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses. C．it shows respect for the writer's suggestion D．it indicates the time when they can have lunch together 3.The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”. A．appropriate B．influential C．practical D．evident 4.What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage? A．To suggest how time flies. B．To persuade busy people to relax. C．To advise people to keep their promise. D．To convince readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.
Every spring scores of people flock to the Buzzard Festival at Hinckley, Ohio. They come to watch for buzzards. Most would be glad just to take a look at a buzzard. If they do see one of these" flying garbage cans", it will probably be circling high in the sky. From there it can watch the ground for signs of the waste and the dead animals on which it feeds. The buzzard is the ugliest bird in the United States. In fact, it may well be the ugliest bird in the world. It has a small, bare, pink head. Its thick body is covered with dark, rough feathers. In spite of its looks, the buzzard is important to the people of Hinckley. It is their first sign of spring. After a winter in the south, buzzards return to their homes in the north. In the Hinckley area, they always return on March 15. No one knows why. But they have come back to Hinckley Ridge on that day, sure as clocks work, for at least forty years. The excitement starts in February. By the middle of March it has reached a high peak. Bets are placed. Prizes go to the person who sees the first buzzard. Radio stations and newspapers tell of the coming festival. And on the weekend after March 15 the people of Hinckley hold their Buzzard Festival. The people come and look around. They chat. They eat their fill of pancakes and sausages. Then they drive past Buzzard's Roost on Hinckley Ridge. A lot of them stop near the road at the stand set up to give information to visitors. There they can hear, from a recording, the main facts about the buzzard. They can see a stuffed buzzard. They can look at some pictures taken of buzzards in other years. With good luck and a strong pair of field glasses, they may sight one or two live buzzards high in the sky. Buzzards may be ugly. They may be "flying garbage cans". But in Hinckley they are just as welcome as the swallows in Capistrano, California. It would be a sad spring indeed if the buzzards ever failed to come back to Hinckley Ridge. 1.A good title for this story would be __________. A．The Hinckley Buzzard Festival B．Buzzard, the Ugliest Bird C．Why the Buzzard Has a Pink Head D．The Return of“The Garbage Can" 2.The buzzard is called the "flying garbage can" because it __________.

The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor. As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered- to vote on Sept. 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots（选票）. To help get his name known, Sessions earned＄700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns. Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbors. "They'd look at me, and say‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?'And I say‘I'm still in high school', "he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time, ”he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room. Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30p.m., I'11 be a student. From 3 to 6, I'11 be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said. “He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about this town. He's been here all his life. ” Sessions will receive＄3, 600 a year during his four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office. 1.What is TRUE of Sessions' election campaign according to the text? A．Sessions launched his election campaign on Sept. 22. B．Sessions worked so hard that he once tried to persuade people in a hospital. C．Sessions won the election campaign by a very close outcome. D．Sessions felt disappointed when asked about his age and experience. 2.In order to gain more support from the voters Sessions had to do all these things EXCEPT＿. A．put up posters' B．renew the economy C．sell apples D．talk to neighbors in kitchens 3.What can we infer from the passage? A．American mayors usually work from 3 p. m. to 6 p. m. B．In America, young people are encouraged to get involved in politics. C．All teenagers are allowed to enter political elections. D．American mayors receive a salary of 3, 600 a year during their 4-year term. 4.Which of the following would best summarize the text? A．Schoolboy becomes American's youngest mayor.
