“I am going home to Denmark, Son, and I just want to tell you I love you.”
In my dad’s last telephone call to me, he __36__ that line several times in half an hour. I wasn’t listening at the right level. I heard the words, but not the message, and__37__not their deeper meaning. I believed my dad would live to be 100 years old, __38__my great uncle lived to be 107 years old. I hadn’t felt his __39__over Mum’s death, understood his loneliness or__40__most of his friends had left the world. He often asked my brother and me to create grandchildren__41__he could be a devoted grandfather. I was too busy with my business to really listen.
“Dad’s dead,” sighed my brother not long after dad went back to Denmark.
I was__42__ and just cried for the loss of my dad. This isn’t the __43__it’s supposed to happen. If I had known these were to be dad’s final days, I would have asked to go with him to Denmark. If I had been really listening and thinking, I would have offered comfort during his final hours. After all, a loved one should hold his hand and__44__him as he makes the transition(过渡) from reality to another world. Dad __45__ his departure(离开) repeatedly, but I__46__it. I felt sadness, pain and regret. Why had I not been there for him? He’d always been there for me. In the mornings when I was nine years old, he__47__come home from working 18 hours and __48__ me up by patting my back lightly with his strong powerful hands and whispering, “Time to get up, Son.” __49__I was dressed and ready to go, he had put my schoolbag in my bicycle basket. Recalling these__50__moments with dad brings tears to my eyes.
Now my heart is still in__51__because dad was there for me and I wasn’t there for him. My hearty__52__is: always, always seize the moment to__53__ your love with your loved ones, and keep them__54__when they leave the world. Experiencing the__55__of death with one you love will make you understand the meaning of life better.

Peanuts to This

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice:flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
小题1:What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A.Controversial.B.Ridiculous.
C.Boring.D.Puzzling.
小题2:Why was the author confused about the task?
A.He was unfamiliar with American history.
B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C.He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D.He was new at the school.
小题3:The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.
A.annoyedB.ashamed
C.readyD.eager
小题4:In the end, the author turned things around _______.
A.by redoing his task
B.through his own efforts
C.with the help of his grandfather
D.under the guidance of his headmaster

I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun.You may think People ,n such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others.If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness.The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common.Fun is what we experience during an act.Happiness is what we experience after an act.It is a deep, long-lasting emotion.
Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh.But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun.They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir(回忆录) after memoir, they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness.They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want.Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep.I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to.It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness.It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Fun and happiness.
B.Success and satisfaction.
C.Marriage and commitment.
D.Entertainment and responsibility.
小题2:The author probably agrees that ____.
A.fun creates long - lasting satisfaction
B.long - standing fun may lead to happiness
C.fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
D.fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
小题3:What does the author think of marriage?
A.It ends in pain.
B.It means commitment.
C.It affords greater fun.
D.It leads to raising children.
【小题14If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____.
A.will start a business

C.will seek for freedom
D.won't devote himself to his family

It was just a windy January day here in the North East of Scotland. When I left home for the office where I worked in the next town, the weather forecasters said, “Windy and cold, but no rain.” However, by the time I was about to leave work in the early evening, it was pouring!
My office was close to the bus stop so that there was no problem; I just shot out the door and onto the bus. Unfortunately, once I got home to Montrose, I had about a mile to walk from the bus stop to my home.
As I stepped off the bus that night to walk home, I struggled to get my tiny umbrella to go up in the strong wind. It was obviously designed for a very light shower. Then, suddenly and to my amazement, I heard my mum’s voice.
“Quickly! Come under here, before you get soaked! ”
I nipped(跑) under my bigger umbrella and stared at mum in surprise. “What on earth are you doing here in this weather?” I asked her. My mum was eighty-three that year, and although fit and healthy, she did not usually like going out in strong wind and heavy rain. “You said to come round for tea tonight, but I came early before the rain got too heavy. Eric told me that your car was in for a service and I saw your big umbrella lying on the chair. Eric was on the phone, so I just picked it up and came out so that I could meet you and you would not get soaked!’’
My mum passed away the following year. This simple act remains in my mind, and reminds me how completely my mum loved me. She would not have gone out in the wind and rain for herself, but, at eighty-three, she never gave a second thought about the bad weather so I would not get wet.
小题1:We can learn from the text that   
A.the author’s office was not far from her home.
B.the author’s mum enjoyed good health at 83.
C.the author was completely wet that night.
D.the author opened the umbrella easily then.
小题2:On hearing her mum’s voice the author was much surprised because   .
A.her mum seldom enjoyed going out in such bad weather.
B.her mum did not tell her she would bring her an umbrella.
C.she had planned to go to her house for tea that day.
D.she did not actually realize how much her mum loved her.
小题3:Eric failed to pick up the author in the car for the reason that    
A.he was busy with his work.
B.the car was being repaired.
C.he was fixing the new phone.
D.he did not expect it to rain.
小题4:The best title for the passage can be   
A.I Love Mum.
B.Nice to Meet Mum in the Rain.
C.To Keep Me from the Rain.
D.Mum’s Voice in the Rain.

One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.
“He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go ’” Diaz says.
As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.”
The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, “Why are you doing this?”
Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me…..”
Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
“The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi,” Diaz says.
The kid said, “You know everybody here. Do you own this place?”
“No, I just eat here a lot,” Dias said. “But you’re even nice to the dishwasher,” he said.
Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
“Yea, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.
When the bill arrived, Diaz said, “You’re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my money and I can’t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I’ll gladly treat you.”
The teen returned it immediately. “I gave him $20…. I figure maybe it’ll help him.” Diaz says he asked for something in return--- the teen’s knife--- “and he gave it to me.”
Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, “You’re the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch.”
“I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It’s as simple as it gets in this complicated world.”
小题1:What did Diaz do to the teen?
