    Last summer vacation, I volunteered to work at a vet’s（兽医诊所）. There I saw a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Short thin curly hair covered her sausage-shaped（香肠形）body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
    She was brought to the vet because her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though. “No one should judge her by her looks,”I thought. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper. “Funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
    When a boy called, I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They picked Minnie up and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked（舔）his face. Her tail wagged（摇摆）around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body.
    “She’s perfect!”the old man said happily.
    I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home.
    Suddenly, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.
    【小题1】The last three sentences in the first paragraph tell us      .
    A．how funny Minnie looked
    B．how well Minnie behaved
    C．Minnie was a beautiful dog
    D．Minnie was dying
    【小题2】 Why did the writer advertise Minnie in the local newspaper?
    A．Because he wanted to sell her at a good price.
    B．Because he didn’t want her any more, either.
    C．Because he wanted to find a family for her.
    D．Because he wanted to have another dog.
    【小题3】Why did the boy who called the writer want Minnie?
    A．Because he loved all kinds of dogs very much.
    B．Because he had seen Minnie and loved her very much.
    C．Because his grandfather’s dog was too old.
    D．Because his grandfather’s dog had just died.
    【小题4】The underlined word “stroke”may mean      .
    A．抚摸B．拔C．剪D．揪
    【小题5】Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Minnie wasn’t the type of dog the old man loved.
    B．The old man couldn’t see how funny Minnie looked.
    C．Minnie knew very well how to make others dislike her.
    D．Minnie was like the old man’s dog which had just died.

    After our hospital visit, my husband and I needed cheering up, so we thought we would treat ourselves to a big breakfast at our favourite restaurant. While we were waiting for our meals, we decided to use all our small change and make our wallets light, so we counted it out as we waited.
    I vaguely(含糊地) remember seeing a man sitting nearby. When our meals arrived, we found a note. It read,” Your breakfast has been paid for. Hope you have a lovely day.”
    It was a wonderful surprise as nothing like that had ever happened to us. He must have thought we could hardly pay the bill. We looked around to thank him, but he had left. As retirees(退休者)，we were grateful for the help like this, but it was the kindness of a total stranger that meant so much more to us.
    【小题1】The old couple went to restaurant for a big breakfast in order to _______.

    A．become happierB．become healthier
    C．become lighterD．become younger
    【小题2】What have you learnt from the story?

    B．The old couple paid the meal by small change.
    C．The old couple had a free meal in the end
    D．The old couple bought the man a big breakfast

    When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
    On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
    Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
    Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
    But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
    Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

           When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.

    After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels（地道）. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.

    On the fifth day a tragedy（悲剧）happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
