In the middle of the night, Peter’s wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn’t help crying, “Oh, my stomach (胃)! Get the  16  !”
Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 17 dream.
“Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to  18 again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I’m sure I’m  19 !”
Peter got out of bed and started  20 , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was  21 ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my  22 stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes  23 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite  24 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait  25 morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can’t. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“  26 you will find me dead  27 the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters  28 he heard his wife calling him again.
“I’m  29 again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as  30 as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake  31 around.
The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”
“Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I’ve very  32 news for you. My wife  33 ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly  34 her. So you need not come. Go back to   35 now,and sleep well!”

Once upon a time a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 26 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other,  27 to give an answer.
Rather 28 , the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Any one who offers an answer will be handsomely awarded. Those who fail will be 29 .”
The time limit was due in the twinkling(闪烁)of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 30 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 31 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 32 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 33 ,  “Alright, let us know what it is.” The child winked (眨眼) and said, “That 34 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is half as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...”“Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 35 .” The king was satisfied and the child was duly rewarded.
Why did the ministers feel it so different to settle the problem? Because they fell in a pitfall (陷阱), following a wrong way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. 36  is a static (静态的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 37 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 38 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic(动态的), from concrete to 39  ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet 40 to solve the problem.
Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s approach towards a problem.

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question  36  more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was  37 .When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just  38  or better than any other surgeon”-- then, and not until then, you are  39  a surgeon.I was  40  that point.
41  , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night.The first few months of the year I had  42  the ringing of the telephone.I knew it meant another critical decision to be  43 .Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular   44  , I'd have trouble getting back to sleep.I'd  45  all the facts of the case and, often, wonder  46  I had made a poor decision.More than once at two or three in the  47  , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of   48  , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself.It was the only  49  I could find the   50  of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency,  51  was no longer a problem.Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to  52  this as a constant problem for a surgeon.I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a  53  one.It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is --  54  a surgeon needs conceit.He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he's bothered by the  55  and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine.He has to feel that he's as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world.Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.

Ellen and Bill County are both teachers. They met in college and became good friends because of their shared love for children. Two years after the couple got married, Ellen saw a huge change in the life of one of her students, a 9-year-old girl. Three years ago both of the little girl’s parents had died and there was no one to take care of her. She was taken away to live in a government office. But finally she was taken in and adopted by a family and became their daughter. Ellen said that she noticed the difference in the child’s life after she was placed in a permanent home and thought that maybe she and her husband could help a child in a similar way.
They decided to become temporary parents and to take a child into their home on the weekends when the real parents could not take care of him or her. The pair planned to have their own children in a few years, but decided that this would be a way to give to the community in the meantime.
The couple quickly grew to love one of the children they looked after. When he became legally available, Billy became the first child they took in permanently. Six months after adopting Billy, Ellen was told by her doctor that she was unable to have children naturally. Ellen says she knew then that adoption was the way she was meant to have a family.
Since adopting Billy, now 17, Ellen and Bill have adopted five more children --- Rose,16; Albert, 11; Joshua, 5 and in June 2003, they added biological brother and sister Tyler and Rylee to the County family.
The County family has been recognized for their work on adoption, and have received many awards for their efforts. Last June, the family was even interviewed on the television show, “Adoption Stories”.
Ellen says she would like to encourage other families to adopt children. She adds that the best part of being a mother of six is: “Giving Josh a bath, putting a band-aid on a cut knee or just the everyday mom things, that makes motherhood such an honor and a privilege.”
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.How a couple first met at collegeB.Where you can adopt a child
C.The benefits of adoption to the communityD.How adoption created a happy family
小题2:Why did Ellen and Bill first decide to adopt a childe?
A.Because they had always loved children very much
B.Because they saw the benefits of adoption for a child
C.Because they were not able to have children of their own
D.Because they wanted to receive awards for their community work
小题3:Which of the children are related to each other by blood?
A.Rylee and TylerB.Billy and Tyler
C.Albert and JoshuaD.Rose and Albert
小题4:What can be inferred from this passage?
A.Ellen had thought of adopting a child before getting married.
B.Only kids under 16 can be adopted by a family
C.A loving family is important to a child’s happiness
D.Adopting a child always makes the family become famous

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Luckily he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son,you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others,including his mother. “You have to earn success,” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15,to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words — as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged (使气馁) him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind: “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”
Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America — worth $150 million.
小题1: John’s father died in ________.
A.1922B.1933 C.1924D.1923
小题2:John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _______.
A.his father died when John was very young
B.life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown
C.there were no schools for black people in their hometown
D.John needed more education badly
小题3: John’s mother ________.
A.didn’t believe in or depend on others
B.thought no one could succeed without working hard
