But when he recorded his own story with StoryCorpsU-a project set up to help kids in high-needs schools build stronger relationships with their teachers-he says, it just came out."I don't know what made mc say it," Aaron explains. "but I'm like, 'Let me just be honest and just get it out.'"In his recording, made last year in Chicago, Aaron said that he "had to sleep outside, sometimes with nothing to eat. I was ashamed（羞耻的）.…I am still ashamed."Only when hearing Aaron's recording did his teacher, Celeste Davis-Carr, learned that he was living on the streets."I was scared, because I felt helpless, "Davis-Carr tells Aaron." I didn't know what to do, but at the same time I felt I must try my best to help you.""I didn't really think that I would ever really tell a teacher, but it makes me know that you're special because you care," Aaron says. "You talk to me and make sure that I'm cool."In the year since showing his secret, Aaron says he's doing better. He has more friends and has been living in a foster home（寄养家庭）since October. "It's good, actually. I feel comfortable. Where I am now-it kind of feels like home.""Can I tell you one thing that I really admire about you, Aaron?" Davis-Carr asks. "Because I've never told you. Do you know how strong you are? You have a strength（力量） that, no matter what anyone says about you or they do to you, you don't change who you are as a person. And a lot of people don't have that strength. So I admire that about you.""Thank you," Aaron replies."I want to see you happy," his teacher tells him." Just your smile is the best moments of you." "Thank you, "Aaron says." That means a lot to me."（1）Aaron told his story in the recording to .A. help the homeless kidsB. look for happinessC. win support from othersD. keep himself honest（2）In the eyes of Aaron, his teacher Davis-Carr .A. offered him special careB. felt helpless in his lifeC. sometimes looked coolD. was too scared to help him（3）Which of the following statements about Aaron is TURE?A.

However，one autumn，things changed.It began witha tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers.One morning there was a knock on Paul's door.He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox.“I'm looking for a few days' work，”the builder said.“Are there any jobs here I could help with?” “Yes, ”answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder.“I do have a job for you. Look at that farm across the creek(小溪).That's my brother's farm. That creek used to be a grass field, but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creek.But I'll go him one better.See that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence，two meters tall，so 1 won't need to see him anymore.” The builder said thoughtfully.“I think I understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work.When he returned，the builder had just finished his job.Paul was shocked.Instead of a fence there was a bridge, stretching from one side of the creek to the other.As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement，his younger brother Jason, cameacross, and took Paul's hand.“You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I've done，”said Jason. Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much.

One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling______. A. relaxed B. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part. C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer's busy lifeC. the writer's decision of making moneyD. the writer's hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______. A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed C. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD3Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.1. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between ________.A.

Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I'm sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrongwith my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, “I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.

Onenight, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra(额外的) work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his son. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. Looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea.

He held up a glass of water and asked the class, How heavy do you think this glass of water is?The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.. Don't carry it back home.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased onlybecause someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1.According to Thomas Edison, what's genius?A.Hard thinking.B.Hard work.eful dreams.eful inventions.2.After exploring the secrets of nature, Edison always tried to .A.write down what he had learntB.carry out a new experimentC.make them useful in lifeD.share them with others3.Edison could not understand .

A.Edison was born to be a great inventor B.Edison was able to live another 100 years C.Edison was ready to make his 100 th invention D.life was too short for Edison to work for human beings答案：BCDD9I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, 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(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.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 wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), 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 it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, 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(折叠) and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.

The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.A. deep understanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between the mother and the daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land4. What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking 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 MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me答案：CABDC10A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked atthe boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I'd love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you minddriving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

It has hung on our Christmas tree for about 10 years.It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn't hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial（商业的） way of it, spending too much on the usual Christmas gifts, such as rushing into a store to buy a tie for Uncle Harry.Knowing he felt this way, I decided not to buy the usual gifts, such as shirts and sweaters.

Before Christmas there was a match against a team helped by a city church, mostly poor kids. As the match began, I was surprised to see the other team wrestling only wearing the old clothes because they couldn't afford the wrestling uniforms, while our boys in their blue and gold uniforms. Of course, we ended up with beating them.Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly," I wish just one of them could have won. In fact, they could if they had worn the uniforms. They have talent for wrestling, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them."Mike loved kids-all kids and he knew them, having trained kids football and baseball. At that time, I thought of the idea for the gift.That afternoon, I went to a store and bought some wrestling uniforms and sent them to the city church for the kids without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I put the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and telling him that this was his gift from me. His smile was the greatest thing about Christmas that year and the next years.You see, we lost Mike now. But every Christmas Eve I would put an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, three more joined it. Each of our children had secretly put an envelope on the tree for their dad.Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.（1）Mike hated Christmas because he .A. disliked receiving the same gifts every yearB. didn't like people spending too much money on giftsC. didn't understand the true meaning of ChristmasD. hated rushing into a store to buy a tie for Uncle Harry（2）We can infer（推断） from the passage that the writer is a（n） .A. brave and outgoing manB. loving and patient manC. strict and serious womanD. understanding and kind woman（3）The sentence underlined in Paragraph 5 means .A. they didn't have talent because they lost the matchB. they wouldn't accept the result because of the old clothesC. they might lose heart after they were badly beaten in this wayD. they tried to cheer themselves up even if they failed in the match（4）It can be learnt from the passage that .A. the writer sends gifts to children every ChristmasB. the children now prefer new toys to the envelopeC. the white envelope was a gift from the poor kidsD.

Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite（咬人）?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone.

Jack made a mistakeC. the dog wasn't dangerousD. both Jack and Sue liked the dog（6）No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. disappearingD. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.A. warmB. rainyC. clear and fineD. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning.B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.（7）One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I……"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54.

"… so I got up very early."55. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."56. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "…… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "……sh e is one of the most beautiful women."C. "……she is one of the most famous speakers."D. "……she is one of the most talkative women."（8）Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us.If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it. If you are in a tall building, don't use the lift and never jump out of the windows. When you are in a living room, find a strong table or rush into a smaller room like washroom. Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救) using. Don't go to the hospital if you are not badly hurt, others will really need help. Take part in the rescue action if you can.57. What should people do if they are driving when an earthquake happens?A. Drive on quickly.B. Take care of the car.C. Stop the car on the roadside.D.

We'll share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this，I encouraged(鼓励) the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out his old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her much-loved doll.
