    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.

    小题1:B
    小题2:A
    小题3:A
    小题4:D
    文章讲述的是作者下班后遇到大雨，无奈只能被淋湿，突然发现83岁高龄的母亲在雨中撑着一把伞等他，由此作者被深深地感动了，体会到了无私的母爱。
    小题1:推理判断题。根据第五段My mum was eighty-three that year, and although fit and healthy可知，作者的母亲虽然83岁高龄，但是很健康
    小题2:事实细节题。根据第五段she did not usually like going out in strong wind and heavy rain可知，他的母亲不喜欢在刮风下雨的天气出门的，所以在下了大雨的情况下看到他的母亲，他会感到很惊讶。
    小题3:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Eric was on the phone可知，他在忙着打电话关于工作方面的事情。
    小题4:主旨大意题。作者在最最需要帮助的时候，听到了母亲的声音，感受到了无私的母爱，，所以D选项最能表达作者当时的心情。

    Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．
    There once was a happy monkey in the jungle. He was wandering all days, eating delicious fruit when hungry and    36   when tired. One day he came upon a house, where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful   37  . He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest.
    The monkey tried to eat them, but hurt his teeth. The apples were made of wood, but they were beautiful, and when the other monkeys said that they  38  them, he held onto them even tighter.
    The monkey admired his new possessions proudly as he wandered the jungle. The two apples glistened (闪亮) red in the    39  , and seemed perfect to him. He became so attached to them that he didn’t even notice his    40   at first.
    A fruit tree reminded him, but he felt the apples in his hands. He couldn’t bear to set them down to reach for the fruit. In fact, he couldn’t    41  , either, if he was to defend his apples. This proud, but less happy monkey continued to walk along the forest trails (小路).
    The apples became    42  , and the poor little monkey thought about leaving them behind. He was tired and hungry; he couldn’t climb trees or collect fruit with his hands    43  . What if he just let go (释放)?
    Letting go of such    44   things seemed crazy, but what else could he do? He was so tired. Seeing the next fruit tree and smelling its fruit, the monkey stopped. He   45   the wooden apples and reached up for his meal. He was happy again.
    Like that little monkey, we    46   carry things that seem too valuable. Letting go of them seems crazy. But    47  : only with open hands can we receive something else.

    Quit while you're ahead
    I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no．I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be doing．I get work done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time．
    That's why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter．
    Being a quitter isn't being someone who gives up, who doesn't see important things through to the end．I aspire （渴望?） to be the opposite of that．The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there's no value in what he's doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important．
    A friend of mine once told me, "I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it．" Strange though it sounds, we all tend to do this．We get involved in something, realize we don't want to be a part of it, but keep on going．We say "Well, I've already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out．"
    I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested．If you're reading a book, and don't like it, stop reading．Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is to stop before your losses grow even more, and quit．Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one．Isn't that a better use of your time?
    Step back for a second．Let's learn how to say "no" at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we'd like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing． Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder．If we do both, we'll start to make sure that we're spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses．Let's be quitters together．
    小题1:The author wants to be a quitter, because he _____．
    A．hopes to improve his personality
    B．wishes to have more time for relaxation
    C．expects to make more efficient use of his time
    D．has found it hard to do several things at one time
    小题2:In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?
    A．When you feel tired and need a rest．
    B．When you know a task cannot be finished．
    C．When you meet with difficulties along the way in your life．
    D．When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time．
    小题3:If you stop reading a book you hate, the author might think that ______．
    A．you are wise to cut your losses
    B．it's a pity that you have wasted so much time
    C．you should finish a book that you have started
    D．you should regret choosing the wrong book
    小题4:The message the author tries to convey is to ______．
    A．learn to say no
    B．live your life to the fullest
    C．create more value
    D．stop doing many things at once

    Homework is an important part of education. However, what is it about homework? What makes it important?
    First, homework helps students learn. Homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times.
    Most of the time, homework will ask students to read other books. So children have to read and understand it by themselves. Sometimes, parents must help children with this type of learning. Children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework.
    Good use of homework makes children know that learning can happen with or without the teacher.
    As homework is finished, students learn to work out their own problems. Most students need a little help now and then, but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves. If the student can do his or her own work, it is likely the ability he gets will be good for their future life.
    Most homework gives room for additional(额外的) learning. Short answers, long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them. Science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding. These things are almost impossible within the classroom education. If the project is done by a group, the students will also learn cooperation(合作).
    Good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.
    Title: 小题1:________
    Benefits

They don’t act in the  27  ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too  28  for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of   29  .
    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there  30  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She  31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
    I was very worried because I thought I had  32  her. I was  33  and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
    “Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it  34  , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt   35  . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen     36  , but it’s really there. Love is  37 .”
