    There were a thousand reasons not to stop.I was running late for a very important...well，whatever it was that I was running late for that day.Surely the Highway Patrol would be along soon，and it's their job to help stranded (搁浅) motorists，isn't it?
    That made 1,004 reasons not to stop.And here was 1,005：I was the world's worst auto mechanic.The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did fine—until I forgot to put the new oil in.The boys down at the garage had a big laugh over that.
    I'm not sure how much it would have helped that lady who was stranded by the side of the freeway if I had pulled over.So I drove on by，just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day.Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.But by the time I got back to her，a Hispanic (西班牙的) gentleman had pulled in behind her，and was tinkering (修补) with her car's engine.
    “Is there anything I can do to help？” I asked.
    “No，thank you，”the lady replied.“This nice man says he can fix it.” After the man repaired it，the woman tried to give him some money，but he declined and waved as she drove off.It wasn't until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did；his family was sitting in the station wagon，waiting patiently.“Do you stop and help people like this often？”I asked.
    “Somebody has to，”he said.“What's she going to do if nobody helps？”And for him，that was enough.
    小题1:By telling the story，the author intends to tell us ________.
    A．we must help someone in trouble even if we have every reason not to do so
    B．if we don't have the necessary skills or knowledge，we can't help a person much
    C．what the person in trouble needs most is kindness rather than practical skills
    D．we much thank the person who has helped us when we are in trouble
    小题2:What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
    A．The author once helped a person who was in trouble but was laughed at by a
    boy.
    B．The author just wanted to find an excuse to stop to help the stranded lady.
    C．The author doubted whether he had the ability to give the lady some necessary
    help.
    D．What the author was running late for made him very angry.
    小题3:Why did the author make his way back at the next exit?
    A．Because he wanted to see if anybody else had helped the lady out.
    B．Because he felt guilty about not helping the lady.
    C．Because he wanted to help the Hispanic gentleman fix the lady's car.
    D．Because he had thought of a way to help the lady.

    小题1:A
    小题2:C
    小题3:A
    小题1:C
    小题1:B

    小题1:答案　A　[推理判断题。对比作者自己和西班牙男子所做的事情可知，后者有更充分的理由可以不给这位汽车抛锚的女士以帮助，但后者却这样做了，因此作者通过本文想表达的思想是：无论你自己多么忙也应该给别人以帮助。]
    小题2:答案　C　[推理判断题。综合前两段的信息可知，作者在强调自己没有帮助汽车抛锚的女士的原因，其中之一是作者的汽修技能很差，因此断定，作者怀疑自己即使停下来也帮不上什么忙。]
    小题3:答案　A　[推理判断题。对比作者自己和西班牙男子所做的事情可知，后者有更充分的理由可以不给这位汽车抛锚的女士以帮助，但后者却这样做了，因此作者通过本文想表达的思想是：无论你自己多么忙也应该给别人以帮助。]
    小题4:答案　C　[推理判断题。综合前两段的信息可知，作者在强调自己没有帮助汽车抛锚的女士的原因，其中之一是作者的汽修技能很差，因此断定，作者怀疑自己即使停下来也帮不上什么忙。]
    小题5:答案　B　[细节理解题。根据“Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.”可知作者想回去看看能不能帮到什么忙，说明当时是后悔没有帮这位女士，所以才回去的。]

    Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. The beginnings of modem dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed.
    Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea. Her great contributions are in three areas.
    First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concerts.  In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (技巧高超) shown by complicated, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way.  Her dance stemmed from (源自) her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.
    Her second contribution lies in dance costumes (服装). She discarded corset, ballet shoes, and stiff costumes.  These were replaced with flowing clothes, bare feet, and unlimited hair.  She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
    Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies (交响乐) of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
    She was as exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.
    小题1:. The best title for the passage would be“_________”.
    A．Dance in the Twentieth Century
    B．Artists of the Last Century
    C．Natural Movement in Dance
    D．A Pioneer in Modern Dance
    小题2: According to the passage, nature meant_________ to Duncan.
    A．something to conquerB．a model for movement
    C．a place to find peaceD．a symbol of disorder
    小题3: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses_________.
    A．Duncan’s further contribution to modern dance
    B．The music customarily used in ballet
    C．other aspects of Duncan’s life
    D．audience acceptance of the new form of dance

    I went to a group activity, “Sensitivity Sunday”, which was to make us more       the problems faced by disabled people. We were asked to “   a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some members,     , chose to use wheelchairs. Others wore sound—blocking earplugs(耳塞) or blindfolds(眼罩).
    Just sitting in the wheelchair was a      experience. I had never considered before how      it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down, my      made the chair begin to roll. Its wheels were not     . Then I wondered where to put my     . It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest(脚凳) into     . I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of      for several hours. For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary     .
    I tried to find a      position and thought it might be restful,      kind of nice, to be      around for a while. Looking around, I      I would have to handle the thing myself! My hands started to ache as I      the heavy metal wheels. I came to know that controlling the           of the wheelchair was not going to be a(n)      task.
    My wheelchair experiment was soon    . It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the     , both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.

    Most teens can't wait to learn to drive. Not so with me. Driving made me nervous. I didn't get a license until I turned 24 years old. As a result, when I first married, we only had one car and car pooled to work. My husband's hours were different from mine by one hour. I worked earlier. So he dropped me off and went to the diner to drink coffee until work time.
    Then, in the afternoons, I leisurely walked the three miles to his work place where I waited in his car, reading a book.
    One day while waiting for him, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot. It was powder blue and sleek looking. The kind of car you dream about. I was busily admiring the car, when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen off the movie screen.
    She pulled into the spot beside our car and it was all I could do not to stare. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Jet black hair and alabaster skin. Our eyes made contact and she smiled at me. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just matched her car. Peeking through her long, softly curled hair I could see gold hoop earrings. They had to be gold to shine like that. A couple of minutes later, a nice looking man came out of the building, entered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.
    Sitting there in my jeans, shirt and hair in a pony tail, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?
    Maybe I would have forgotten about her, but the following week, I saw her again. Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy lingered long after she drove away.
    Many nights when sleep evaded me, I would think about the beautiful lady. I wondered if she and her husband ate out, and where they dined, and what she was wearing. I wanted her to get out of the car and let me see her full length. Did she wear really high heeled shoes and pants, or a skirt.
    I would get my answers in a couple of weeks.
    Sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding my book, watching her over the top of it. She was waiting and when her husband came to the car, she called to him. They spoke a few words and he opened the car door for her to step out. He took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She was wearing a skirt.
    She haltingly walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways in the car, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other one. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis on the left leg and a brace on the right leg. I couldn't watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. For weeks I had envied this woman and her way of life, while I had been able to walk three miles to our car!
    When my husband arrived and found me crying, he immediately asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told him about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and also knew the story. The beautiful lady and her parents were in a car that either stalled or got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.
    I prayed for forgiveness all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didn't. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can't buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything
    When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don't be fooled.
    小题1:In the afternoons the woman walked three miles to her husband’s work place to___.

    B．She shouldn’t have compared herself with the woman.
    C．She shouldn’t have told her husband what she had seen.
    D．She shouldn’t have seen the woman getting out of the car.

    Sometimes pleasures of life are so simple that I take them for granted, things that I've considered as my right, instead of a blessing. I        this after a friend of mine, who served there as a volunteer, invited me to pay a visit to Honduras.

I shot a        toward the heavens,“Dear Lord, please don't let them offer coffee.” Suddenly，one little girl ran towards us,     a mango（芒果）in each hand.

She held out her        hand and offered me the other mango, which I       accepted. Her eyes danced and joy spread into a smile. When we left, my friend pointed at a small stream beside their home and said,“That is where they     . It is also where the animals drink and defecate（排便）. ”I have to say I had never been so     .
    The evening I returned home, I went into my bathroom. The image of that poor little girl       my mind. Her bath would only take place in the cold, dirty water in the stream. I eased into my tub filled with warm water, enjoying this simple pleasure. Clean water wasn't my      ；it was a blessing, one I was determined to     with others.
