One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he had only one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he became nervous when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Haward Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later, the young woman became seriously ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Haward Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words,
“Paid in full with one glass of milk.”
(Signed) Dr. Haward Kelly
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”

On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.
The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.
I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother’s permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own nightdress, so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's nightdress.
As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I’ll stay up to go one more time...”. Of course, I finally fell asleep.
The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do—I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's nightdress and changed into my clothes like the other girls.
Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet nightdress. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so scary. Should I answer? And that was when it happened—Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife, “Elvis Presley died!”
The news of the King’s death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I was narrowly excused. Then, we left Peters’ together but without the other girls knowing what had happened.
小题1:The author had to spend the night at Peters’ because ________.
A.they had fun together and played too late
B.she was offered the nightdress
C.the famous singer Elvis Presley died that night
D.she and her friends were having a sleepover party
小题2:Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.
A.she found the nightdress wet
B.Elvis Presley died that morning
C.her husband grabbed her
D.not all the girls behaved themselves
小题3:From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.
A.a crazy and strict woman
B.a devoted fan of Elvis Presley
C.a woman for perfection
D.a woman with a strong fear of getting dirty
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How I escaped Mrs. Peters’ punishment.
B.How Elvis Presley saved my life.
C.An embarrassing escape in my life.
D.An unforgettable party in my memory.

My father was a St. Bernard (圣伯纳犬), and my mother was a collie (科利牧羊犬). This was what my mother had told me. I did not know these nice differences myself. My mother like to say them and see other dogs look surprised and jealous(嫉妒的), wondering how she got so much education. But, indeed, it was not real education.
She got the words by listening in the dining room and the sitting room when there were people talking, and by going with the children to school and listening there. Whenever she heard a word showing great knowledge, she said it to herself many times so that she could keep it until there was a meeting in the neighbourhood. Then, she would show off her knowledge and surprise them all, from small-sized dogs to large-sized dogs.
If there was a stranger being doubtful and getting his breath to ask her what it meant, she always explained to him in detail. He had never expected this but thought he would make fool of her. However, in the end, he was the one who was fooled. The others knew what was going to happen, because they had experienced that. When she explained the meaning of a big world, no dogs doubted if it was right. It was natural, because, for one thing, she answered very quickly and confidently, and for another, there were no knowledgeable dogs pointing out the answer was wrong.
When I was older, she brought home the word, “unintellectual”, and worked on it very hard all the week at different meetings. It was at this time that I realized she made up a fresh meaning of the same word every time. It showed that she was more calm than knowledgeable.
(From A Dog’s Tale, by Mark Twain)
小题1:Why were other dogs jealous of “my” mother?
A.Because her child was not a dog.
B.Because “my” mother knew everything.
C.Because they knew nothing about “me”.
D.Because they thought “my” mother was educated.
小题2:Where did “my” mother learn the words?
A.She made up the words by herself.
B.She learnt the words studying at school.
C.She listened and memorized when others were talking.
D.She attended meetings to learnt the words from other dogs.
小题3:How could “my” mother always fool other dogs?
A.Other dogs all liked to be fooled.
B.She could explain anything in detail correctly.
C.She learnt a lot of tricks to make fool of others.
D.Other dogs were not knowledgeable enough to find out her mistakes.
小题4:What words can be used to describe “my” mother?
A.friendly and cleverB.calm and confident
C.quick and experiencedD.devoted and knowledgeable

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He got into a life boat, but his supplies were    . His chances of surviving were small.      when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much      than he was when he started, but alive.
His      of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness —how he      to catch fish, how he evaporated (蒸发) sea water to       fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that        my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no       in continuing the struggle. He was starved and      worn-out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people      these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in       desperate circumstances      in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on      difficulties.
“I tell myself I can      it,” wrote Callahan in his book. “Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over,      up courage…”
I wrote that down after I read it. It      me as something important. And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed      off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I’ve said it, I have always come back to my      .
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad      to something better. But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you       through the rough situations with a little more courage.

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other    , including her “sixth sense”,   she rarely gives the impression she’s missed anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn’t push too hard on them, who really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, she moves around so fast that often the    don't realize she's blind.
I realize this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?”said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to      colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle      with us.”
To my great      my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!
Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my      showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really     what I was doing!’’ Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt     Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation.
When I told her, she was      for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla     . And I knew my child was      because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's pride in her work.
We were silent for a minute.Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my      .’’ Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
